zihui mixing egg white and me holding brownie mix.
the 5 great chefs!
the yummy cheese cake we baked from scratch!
ehh our brownies.hahaha but i can assure you they tasted good!
the brownies and cookies were both from betty crooker's so all we did was to add water and eggs. hahaha easy peasy. but the brownies kinda turned out chao ta because i misread 350F for 350C so i actually set the oven to 350C. when i opened the oven there was even smoke! whaha.
too bad no pictures because its with aline! ( aline hurry upload k!)
cheesecake was nice! so was the cookies zihui baked for her friend. though the last batch of cookies turned out charred.think the oven was too hot by then.
we had fun and it's great to meet up with old friends too! better do it fast before uni starts.
tata! baking rocks!
zihui, zhixin and evon started talking about their camps which sounded really fuN! cant wait for my school camps too! hope it would be as fun..=X

after the windy and slopey bus ride we arrived at the jetty!
at the ferry terminal, a little girl came to play with us. She is the daughter of the shopowner of the sourvenior shop there. We entertained her with drawings and played ball with her. In a sense, she helped us pass time too as we waited for our ferry to depart.
Isabel, yizhen and weiling each bought a pretty sarong there! (shall show you guys later)
that's us! a picture taken by the lil' girl.
Soon, our ferry arrived and we boarded it.
