Melon-pan & Chocolate Coronet
this post is totally random haha, but it will be fun posting this up lol.
I went to provence bakery down at holland village yesterday. I saw these 2 confectioneries that seems really familiar from animes, and so i decided to buy 2 of each haha...
first up is MELON-PAN!
a closer look...
Well known from the series Shakugan no Shana, this bread is always seen in Shana's mouth. She always eat melon-pan, and only melon-pan. And she looks adorable eating melon-pan. Since then, melon-pan has always been shana's trademark item.
And the next one is CHOCOLATE CORONET.
This chocolate filled bread is made famous from the anime "Lucky Star". This is what she always had every recess breaks.
And the funny thing is the chocolate cream will always leak out from the base
Hence the plastic cover at the end...
yup these are the 2 anime-featured japanese confectioneries that i find interesting haha... I didnt know it would make it to singapore. There was even a "battle of the confectioneries" held by KKnM last year:
Chocolate Coronet vs. Melon-pan
my vote still goes to... Chocolate coronet!!! cuz the chocolate filling is just awesome! haha... The melon-pan feels abit plain for me, and the melon taste is too mild for my liking.
Anyway, those are my personal comments. So, which one do you prefer?

hmm.. hadnt blogged in a long time again. haha... one week left T__T and i am still not mentally prepared to go back haha... ohnoes.
The past week has been wonderful. Maybe i should just briefly jot down some of my memories for the past week haha in case i forget them and i can look back upon my blog to reminisce (and feel old).
Last wednesday, Darren came over at my place and stayed over. We had a good catch up and MonsterHunting. And on thursday, we ate together at newton and after which, I met up with my lovely 14o5 over movie (he's just not that into you) and a hearty dinner at marina. Loved this pic of us by the esplanade
And then on saturday I attended 2 bday parties with the med peeps. Went for doie's party first and then christie's. And then we drove down together to bedok blk 85 for supper.
Sunday went to ORPC, which would be my last church session for this entire holiday T__T. (but at least I had a good lunch session with some of the youths and young adults the previous week haha..., so all's well). And then, in the afternoon, I went over to Marcus' house with Darren.
And lastly, yesterday I met up with Nian and Ying at orchard over dinner and for some shopping.
hmm... tts all for now. Shall enjoy my last week in singapore as much as possible haha =D

Feeling so free and so happy-at-home-doing-nothing that i feel like blogging once again haha...
In the sermon i went yesterday by Pastor Stephen Tong, he mentioned about why we cannot see God and i think its really worth to be shared.
Anything that can be seen in this world has the nature of a matter. And God created every matter in the this world. God, however, is never a part of His own creation. Therefore, God cannot be visible as it is a characteristic of His creation.
In a similar concept, God can also transcend time and space as they too are part of His creation.
But still, God sent down His Son as fully human, into the created world, to bring salvation to us, His creation
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known" (John 1:18)
------------------------------
I mentioned in the previous post that i would share about the focus seminar last friday. It was about the work of the Holy Spirit as part of the Trinity. I shall be brief and straightforward.
1. The Spirit replaces Jesus as our Counsellor after His ascension to Heaven (John 14:16-18)
2. The Spirit points us to Jesus (John 14:25-26; 16:12-14)
3. The Spirit convicts us in regard to Judgment (John 16: 8-11)
4. The Spirit enlightens us in understanding God's Word (1 Cor 2:13-14)
5. The Spirit regenerates us by giving us new birth (John 6:63; 1 Peter 1:23)
6. The Spirit indwells among us (John 14:17; Romans 8:9; 1 Cor 12:13)
7. The Spirit transforms us to be like Jesus (Roman 8:29; 2 Cor 3:18)
8. The Spirit assures and unites us as a church (Roman 8:16)
9. The Spirit provides us with spiritual gift (1 Cor 12:7)
yup thats all i have to share. Being brief and straighforward is awesome! lol
... back to my life
Shall just post pics up. Lazy to describe or write anything.
Went to Justin's 21st bday party at his house... it was quite a blast but i barely knew anyone there.

I was reading this post i stumbled across randomly... it says "blogging is so last year". Now, people rather twitters and plurks.
I was like =.= and o.O at that comment. What is so fun about twitting and plurking that it can beat blogging. I mean, you sms something once in a while to ur twitpage and, and the same time ur friends will get an sms update. "i am drinking coffee"... "i am sitting through a boring lecture"... "i am in the toilet for hours constipating"... "I am having fun with puberty"... That is pure spamming.
but after watching the video presentation at the twitter website, i was like =D and XDXD and i changed my mind. I think it was quite fun after all haha... I guess i am just easily influenced. But there's no way i'm going to start twitting or plurking. Blogging is time-consuming enough on its own and i'm happy with it.
... I am actually talking about current affairs and DISCUSSING it. whoo... this is rare.
Speaking of current affairs, some parts of australia is now hitting above 45 degrees. I am just glad that its not sydney. ... Ok, this is not exactly new either cuz its so last week, but its worth a mention cuz its really shocking.
Alright, enough with current affairs and back to my life. Went out with izhar on wednesday around orchard, then dhoby ghaut and ended up spending the whole afternoon in paradiz. Its really great to catch up after like... 1 year. Its funny cuz we used to meet EVERYDAY in JC life and there is not a day when i wouldnt see him. We even studied together everyday (excluding wednesday which is our rest day) in school from dismissal up till school gate closes at 8pm, since prelim up all the way to A levels. Even saturdays and sundays were not spared. We continue to meet up at national library and the cathay building basements and chiong our notes.
But after that, he got consumed and swallowed entirely by NS life, and soon i also went off overseas, so it has just been msn-ing all the while. But he is still the old him and I'm the new me who is more wise and independent, so its all good haha...
Then, on thursday met up with my old bible study group from orpc: dominic, hanxiang, hanyi and lenard. And we ate at city hall NYNY. Hans took up the burger challenge, which is worth $30 but will be given free if you can finish it alone. Well... hans was hungry and felt like he was up to it, so...
hanxiang and his burger challenge
I'm gonna pwn this burger
FRESH MEAT! i'm gonna make it... i'm gonna make it lalalalala...
starting to feel the strain...
I GIVE UP!!!
He barely finished half
and thats the story of how hanxiang got pwned by his burger.
~The End~
I guess muz starve for a few days before someone can take up the challenge. Like NS people who are deprived of edible food and survived for days on combat rations could probably own this challege.
Otherwise, maybe i can sneak up to the toilet and bulimia everything out and start over with empty stomach =D but that will be so gross ewww...
And yesterday I had a fellowship with the focus peeps at ARPC for our third seminar. More on that coming soon. I will probably dedicate an entry on the things i learnt haha... so please keep a look out for it.

its been like more than a month since i last blogged haha... (my tagboard's dead too) totally no mood to update my blog cuz its the holidays and there is other better things to do. Like gaming wif PS3 and Xbox360 mwahaha...
Its been about 2 weeks since i came to singapore. My stay in indo before that was quite uneventful, (hence no posts to share). Came back on the 20th jan for cny
Speaking of cny, it has always been the same every year. Bai nian everyone and get hongbaos and get rich all of a sudden. But this year its quite different haha... My relatives like become so much nicer to me (cuz maybe they miss me when i was gone haha).
And then there are my cousins. This year is officially teh Season of Puberty in our family historical record. Everybody is having puberty. Thats cuz most of my cousins are now in the sec 1 - sec 2 range. That cousin who used to keep crawling under the table all the time during family dinners and pulling shoelaces off everyone's feet; now become so deep voiced and manly. It feels wrong to me. And then there's the wonder-twins (thats what we call them). Both of them oso puberty liao, but i was hoping that one of them reach puberty faster than the other. That will be quite amusing, for twins.
Just had a chalet with my sec school doods yesterday and had quite alot of fun. Didnt take much pics and all the pics taken are crap so not gonna post them up (its up on facebook anyway). Still, had lots of funny moments playing indian poker and other board games. Almost all gonna ORD liao. And since my class is all boys, this is the moment to celebrate. To freedom. haha...
And then met up with my 1405 peeps, twice. Had movies and dinners together, twice. Attendance wasnt that good cuz of last minute planning so gotta try again next week. Hopefully we have abt 15 people lol, considering those who ran away overseas (speaking for myself).
Met up with some of the med and focus peeps too, for fellowship with Pastor David Sankaran at Ben Kuek's house. And then last week I bumped into rahul, ken and ben at the national library and ended up driving down to bukit timah for ice-cream lol. Went back to AJ too with shamini to visit some of the teachers during the cny celebration.
And then there's my church friends. Glad to hear everyone's doing well over there. The elders were suprised when i showed up suddenly haha... Anyway, gonna meet up for dinner with my old bs people this thursday, so... something for me to look forward to haha...
So thats all for these 2 weeks so far. Other than that, its just rottingathomedoingnothing.
Will be back to sydney on the 28th feb. Therefore, ohnoes its only 3 weeks left!!!
