Because people have been desperately googling "Elisa and Evelyn" and coming to my blog:
Elisa and Evelyn is temporarily down.
We are completely revamping the website (no more cartoons!! boohooo) and restructuring our business plan because I will be operating from America while Elisa stays in Singapore. More details, once we've worked out the kinks. Don't worry, we'll be back soon. (:
Off to bake apple tarts.
PS: What should I do if my digicam's flash is too bright for near objects? Is there a way to adjust it? :\

*429 - what I've been up to for the past week
Monday
Didn't do any triples ): But we stretched so much that I actually ached the next day! That felt good. And I remember the choreo (we practised in the swimming pool)! :D
Tuesday
Don't even need to explain what happened. Hahaha. Oh, except that this time our origami was better because I gave Maddy her little birthday present - real Japanese origami paper (very pretty!) and a little origami book (written in Japanese).
A different low fat flavour every week:
Maddy does not do "cutesy Jappie girl" very well:
She is a good photographer, however. I love how she took this picture of me looking kind of like an alien:
My penguin in Maddy's hands:
Maddy's "pecking bird" in my hands:
Wednesday
Met Becky aka Bim/Bo. So happy to see her :D And I had so much fun! We realised we're only extremely Bim/Bo when we're together. I'm quite level headed and remarkably intelligent normally, right? Righttt? Hahaha.
And even though we see each other only a few times a year, I'll definitely miss her when I leave ):
Back to school haircuts!
Before:
After:
My freaky glowing orange noodles (and they didn't even taste exceptional in any way, good or bad! What's the point of having funky looking food that doesn't taste funky):
Becky so cute (and prettyyy):
My "after" hair actually is a lot a lot shorter than before, but I still look the same from the front because it was an unexciting haircut. I think short-ish hair sucks because you can't do funky things to your hair, all I can do now is to let it down, and I can't even tie it up into a ponytail because the tail's very short and thin in a silly way. Oh well, I'm aiming to cut my hair minimally in the US because haircuts are allegedly quite expensive there. Nat or Yogi shall have to cut my hair for me. (HAHA)
Thursday
Met up with my trusty Boyfriend #2. Her hair sooo long and wavy! Whereas mine's all cropped off now ): Had a nice time talking/GOSSIPING heeheehee! (And we need to follow up on our GOSSIP/secret plan. HMM.) Everyone going to SMU is so lucky cos she's a reaaallly good friend to have! BOOHOO LIRUUUUU.
(I realise this is probably a better representation of what my hair looks like now. Wow it is kind of short.)
Yesterday
Swimming with Maddy (heehee I love Maddy) where I made progress and swam HALF a lap of freestyle before I drowned. But I think freestyle is not for me, like Jingwen said, because it's very explosive whereas I'm the slow graceful sort. I think I was made to swim leisurely, preferably in froggie style.
We made friends with an angmoh lecturer who thought we were new staff he had never seen before (we were sitting in the staff area) and he was surprised to find out who I was. We later played foozball, two of us against him, with Maddy and me (but mostly me) screaming our lungs out every time the ball moved, until I got rather wheezy and sweaty, and in the end, we lost quite dramatically. This marks my second attempt at foozball and I conclude that I have not improved since the first, and, I really suck at it.
Feasted on crab after that with the strangest mix of friends yet. It was really amusing especially when it came to the freak show. It's hard to explain in words so pictures next time.
Today
I have to go out soon to collect stuff from EB and meet Nat so we can make our way to meet the other Singaporean Cornellies, so exciting! But I haven't even brushed my teeth hoho I think I shall do that now.

*428 - origami, party
So after our high tea we headed off to Taka on a mission: to fold origami for a birthday boy. Haha! Bought the stuff and headed to the library to check out origami books. I crown Justin the King of Origami because he made the coolest origami object ever.
My fishie:
His fishie:
My nun (haha so random):
And his masterpiece, the RABBIT!!
Omg it's so good, the anatomy is as realistic as it gets.
I was also really enthralled by a book of professionally produced pieces of origami (which I pored through while Justin laboured over his rabbit for 45 minutes). How can a sheet of uncut, unglued square paper be folded in so many astounding ways? Such as this one:
Made from a SINGLE sheet of SQUARE paper. Check it out, the guy even has a hat and a sword and a shield, and look at the detail on the dragon especially its wings gush gush gush. I wonder how these artists conceptualise their ideas and come up with a way of manipulating the paper in such an intricate fashion. Amazing.
Ok I really sound like the origami geek now hahaha.
So we headed off to Just's place, got lost, were found, and met all the ruggers for the first time in a long time (kiwi cup didn't count). Happy birthday to the 2 birthday boys (:
Exactly the same, in the sense that they were the same flavour, ordered from the same place, with ALMOST the same wording. (It wasn't intentional.)
I like this picture, which I took from squished behind the TV. Evidence of my poor photography skills: accidentally capturing said TV and stuffed toys in the photo. Also spot: Wenjie's present (medicine book), Just acting cute, Tubby mid-yawn, and Ryan drunk.
Happy ruggers (with TV & stuffed toys still present)!

*427 - balch hall
Shib - wanna swim with us on Friday? Haha!
Maddy - this time I shall conquer half a lap. Hahaha.
Sarah - want to join us? Chilli crab is YUMMY.
Passerby - it's at Meritus Mandarin.
Limjie - EYES BUG You guys can SING??? Omg. I won't be around but I will have to see this. Record it down please hahaha.
-
By the way, this is where I'll be staying for the rest of the year and some of the next.
(courtyard!)
(brrr.)
It's a women's only dorm, but that's not to say that guys aren't allowed in ;) Hahaha. It has one of the largest single rooms around, and I'm going to loft my bed and shove my desk underneath to create even MORE space! :D
If you want my address ask me okay! I would love receiving care packages in the mail (:

*426 - pretty sky
The sky was so pretty we could hardly believe it was real. So I stuck my arm out of my window and snapped a shot.
I think God's a fabulous artist (:
*425 - top of the M
The view wasn't terribly pretty, Singapore being a concrete jungle and all, but it was nice to feel high high up, away from all the noise and heat and hustle and bustle down there.
Fun food (everything at high tea always looks pretty), a cute trio to personally serenade us (sweet!), the novelty of revolving slowly and watching the view change (I got a bit of motion sickness though because it was jerky), and needless to say, the perfect company (:

*424 - cake, gym, crab.
Sis cooked dinner (I helped!) and I baked my first ever full-sized cake (as opposed to little cupcakes) for daddy's birthday :D I underestimated the size of the cake and the entire family ended up eating cake for dessert for the next 4 meals or so. Anyway, I just baked a plain vanilla cake, used fresh cream and fresh fruit. No particular recipe except for the cake bit, not very difficult at all (: And it tasted pretty good only that I should have used more cream.
Happy birthday Daddy! :D

Judging for gym comp was tiring and exciting at times but mostly boring. I think I should take back what I said previously, the top 3 positions are actually contemplated quite thoroughly (especially for finals) so it wasn't as inaccurate as I thought it would be.
Photos from the week of judging:
Waffles on Tuesday, this time with Amy! Unimpressive origami this time because noone could think of anything interesting to fold.
(Amy: "ATTACK!!!!"
Evelyn: *sensing good photo opportunity, prepares camera for Amy's Aggressive Attack*
Amy: *daintily scoops up waffle crumb lying on edge of plate*)
After the competitions, having the usual 'celebratory gym dinner' only that we weren't competing and there wasn't really anything to celebrate. But it was a good excuse for baked rice and ice cream and talking crap (literally) :D
Maddy had a surprise ambush by her friends for her birthday right after this, which went really well because of excellent planning from them and excellent acting from the 3 of us. Yay (:
-
I've been so tired lately, I don't know why. 8 or even 9 hours of sleep simply isn't enough for me anymore. After lunch at his place yesterday, Justin turned around to fold up his uniform and when he turned back, I was gone. He searched around the house and discovered me curled up in his bed, fast asleep. Hahaha.
And then he woke me up some time later, asked me if I wanted to go and watch Harry Potter, I garbled something and stumbled to the toilet to remove my contact lenses, stumbled back into bed and fell asleep again. So we didn't watch Harry Potter.
Pig!

And one last thing!
A reminder to all Gourmet Network members: Crabby Dinner on Friday, 6 pm at Wah Hoe.
Some (ancient) photos from the last crabby dinner to entice you:
Yummm.
