i just have to gush about this.

i have been following the series masterchef USA faithfully for the entire season (a real great way to take my mind off work once in a while:)) and just this week, the winner was unveiled..:) and oh my goodness, jen u should totally watch this series because after watching it, you will be totally inspired by whitney who by the way is 22(!) and bakes like she has been doing it for 44 years. check out some of the pictures of the types of desserts that she has made throughout the competition. i'd never believe that geniuses like this existed, until i saw her cook.

No-Bake Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Caramel Topping

Chocolate Souffle

Bread Pudding with Raspberry Coulis and White Chocolate Sauce (she made it souffle styled and inverted it. how in the world do u get such a warped idea??)

Profiteroles with Vanilla Chantilly Cream and Caramelized Banana

so now im off feeling depressed that im going to miss my weekly dose of masterchef, whilst facing the impossible prospect of gaining access to desserts like this anywhere in state college. :(

when words read a million times over but still never a bore.(unlike my exam notes that are boring me to tears)

"When you drop a glass or a plate to the ground it makes a loud crashing sound. When a window shatters, a table leg breaks, or when a picture falls off the wall it makes a noise. But as for your heart, when that breaks, it's completely silent. You would think it's so important that it would make the loudest noise in the whole world, or even have some sort of ceremonious sound like the gong of a cymbal or the ringing of a bell. But it's silent and you almost wish there was a noise to distract you from the pain." --Cecelia Ahern

i love physics.

every morning an endless battle ensues within me. the gravitational force that's tugging at me back into bed and the equally strong urgency derived from a pile of never ending work that's making me move towards my breakfast drawer. usually the one that requires me to travel the shortest distance ends up victorious. the bed of cos, which goes without saying. unless the force on the other end is simply too great a draw- a growling stomach maybe, but almost all the time, it's about work that's loading as if each piece were under the influence of gravity and the only way it could go is down onto me. sometimes i wish both forces work in the same direction.

so they say the world's first eco-city, Dongtan is all but bad news, being sustainable not only environmentally, but also socially, economically and culturally. im not sure if i will embrace this idea as warmly as i should. after all, being an advocate for out poor environment for the longest time, i should be overjoyed that at last, some sort of concrete action is taking place. still, there's this nagging feeling in me that this eco-city may be just a veiled attempt to get rid of marshes in the region to create more economically viable areas--it's urbanisation all over again, only that it's marketed with the eco label. think about it. it perturbed me when i read today's papers and a minister was quoted saying that Dongtan will be created over wastelands, thus no harm will be caused to the natural environment.first of all, can agricultural land near a large ecologically significant wetland be considered a wasteland? even if we presume that this agricultural land is ...
