Chocolate Muffins by sweet housemate

Okay I shall type this out before I forget to. I had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamt that it was the day I was flying home to Malaysia and was at the airport (a weird airport cause it was uhh.. isolated in the middle of the ocean like a petroleum mining and digging port in the middle of the ocean) and I forgot to bring my flight return ticket. Sooo weird.

Okay back to relating to the title of this entry, well yeah, yesterday was rather a happy day with my housemates. Thursday is my day off and I finally got to catch up with cleaning up my room. I tell you my room has been left so messy for the past two-three weeks due to overloading of assignments and mid-sem tests. Managed to vacuum the carpet, sort out receipts, tidy up my table etc. Its nice to have a clean room again.

And my housemate from Penang, Shirmin, felt like eating chocolate muffins and so she randomly baked them in the morning. Last time, she made cheesecake and pastries. Living with housemates like her can get you fat seriously. But well, I am putting on winter padding so.. screw the fat issue ! Some random baking shots :)

p.s. Grapes weren't used to bake the muffin lol.

Doesn't it look awesome ?!! Freshly baked out of the oven with chocolate glaze ! AHHH.

Yuuummmmmmmmmmm. Soo many to eat up. I had TWO huge choc muffins in one day. One freshly baked out of the oven, another one at night with ice cream..

My rubbish rojak fried rice with egg, diced luncheon meat(SPAM), diced mushrooms, garlic, soya sauce and Lea Perrins and lots of pepper. I enjoyed it cause it was salty and I had this after having the muffin so yea, salty stuff works agaisnt sweet stuff. Okay nevermind that.

Later that night, Shirmin felt random again and decided to make popcorn and caramel. LIKE OMG, the caramel she made was THE BOMB and we watched a movie with her loud ass speakers in her room while having popcorn. I was eating popcorn non-stop seriously and when the action parts came my hand just naturally worked faster with popping popcorn into my mouth -__-

And I never knew popcorn caramel was sooo fattening. Shirmin used one whole block of butter and lots of sugar to make the caramel. So that's like 2 blocks of butter today; one to bake the muffins and the other for the popcorn. Mannnnn... was yesterday a *sweet and *buttery day or what ?

Addictive popcorn with a whole load of caramel. Sooo much better than the popcorn at cinemas cause Shirmin was so generous with the caramel topping.

Oh, Shirmin bought a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream last night too and made this awesome Baileys+Coffee+Choc Ice Cream drink which really tasted goood. Reminded me of having tiramisu !

Housemates who are in third year already.

hahaha winter padding. :P

uh... i'm going to stay in hobart. i rather stay here than melb. i think it is much more difficult to find a job mainland especially big cities like melb or sydney. first thing to consider is the amount of competition in mainland. i'll be up against more fresh grads... then again never know.

i just had lunch with a friend and she's recently moved to sydney and were just talking about Rudd's new budget and how the labor gov't's cutting down on skilled immigrants (ie: you and me, if you plan to stay back in oz. are you?) so chances of getting a PR is getting slimmer and slimmer. i graduate soon and honestly, i am terrified. i really do not want to work back in m'sia. :S
