sighz

well it's the 21st today.. and the hsbc talk is on the 28th... i should suppose it just means that i'm not invited! kinda sad.. cos it does say something... msN was quite nice in saying that if i don't get it, it's prob cos i filled my expected level at "top 50%", which was of course, the lowest level they had there.. well.. the next one was "top 20%".. didn't think i was anywhere in there.. but well.. i decided to heck for the networking nights submission and put in 2nd upper for my expected honors.. haha..

but it's still quite sad that i dun get to go the hsbc thingy! ahhh...

ok forget it.. let me talk about happier things...

like my new mooncakes..

just when i was lamenting about no more mooncakes to eat, (cos my brother and I finished the prev box) and the next time i thought there would be mooncakes in my house would be when my father comes back (which is this fri), some kindhearted soul sent us this box from raffles hotel..

i think it's prob my first time eating raffles hotel mooncakes.. the box says mini snow skin mooncakes with champagne truffle and ganache.. dunno if i mentioned this before, but i DETEST snow skin... (with the exception of certain brands la).. well, when i opened this box, there was that snow skin smell.. the usual disgusting flour-y smell.. but i decided to take a bite anyway.. this is after all, raffles hotel..

ah.. didn't regret my actions.. the yucky smell disappeared after taking a bite, and my mouth was filled with the sweet lotus paste.. the coolest part is the "egg yolk", where it is obviously replaced by truffle.. tastes like sweet white chocolate..

basically this whole mooncake is just soft and sweet.. which i guess is the plus point of the snowskin.. they're all soft...

well.. here's the problem... this is a box of MINI mooncakes...

the box came yesterday.. there're 5 left now.. i think my mom still hasn't eaten any..

how's this gonna sustain for the rest of the week???!!!

ah well.. i'll try to figure it out somehow..
