distant dreamer

Although you think I cope,
my head is filled with hope...
of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope,
from today.

Even when you see me frown,
my heart won't let me down,
because I know there's better things to come.

And when life gets tough,
I feel I've had enough,
I hold on to a distant star,

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope,
from today.

frm this 2 pics, u can tell... Ivo and I are everrrrready for the camera. =D
ok. now.
when i was mixing the dough. it felt kinda weird. too watery..
no more glut.rice flour, i added plain flour to absorb the moist a bit.
damn. it felt weirder.
so.. ok we boiled it..
it took so long to float..
cut 1 open.. sooooo hard.
cannot make it..
next batch, we put it in a bowl, pour water in and put in the microwave.
better, but still hard on the inside..
it was soo hard tt it could bounce.
and when we strain it frm the water,
it made a huge 'thud' sound when it hit the strainer...
rockhard.

after steamboat, ivo ahvent give up..
so, we tried shallowfrying it.. thinking positively, thot tt it'll b lyk sesameball in dimsums.
cannnot make it.
den we try to steam it.. lyk the above top pic..
cannot also too hot then the thing melt.
den we try naan style..
stuck it on the bowl and den steam it..
wakakakkaaaa
u guessed it.
CANNOT MAKE IT LARH.

but coffee was bleah.

ivo ordered caramel soy latte.. kinda weird. partly cos coffee bean was burnt, and i dont drink soy.

i ordered irish coffee.. wanted to try smt new.

OMG! blardy bitterrrr.. should b caused by the alcohol..

in sydney we tried affogato. i thot tt was bitter enough. but it was good cos of the icecream.

irish coffee, it was kinda weird.. i'm not used to having such strong coffee with such strong alcohol..

therefore i added lyk 4-5 packets of sugar, but it was still kinda bitter..

so nvm. drink.
