Had one of the most amazing wkends.
Ever.

We had a "desperate physios" sleepover!
Lauren, Gretel and I.
AH.
lovely.

Because my friend so kindly gave me all 23 episodes of desperate housewives.. to kill me and my boredom during this measly (1 wk)holidays.. i had two very eager, half screaming coursemates bugging for a good night out watching EVERYTHING.

So, the two gals came over on sun night.. (THank God for the queen and having a QUEENS'S BIRTHDAY holiday today!!and the fact that i'm no longer in uni..and not having exams at the moment.heh heh.)

And we played an evening of tennis..
which was fun.. since lauren was good and gretel was pretty amazing for a first timer.. whoa.. her balls fly at top speed..

and dinner..
It was SO GOOD.
We fried tempura(!!!)everything! sweet potato.. eggplant.. Mushrooms!! ( SO SO YUMMY... like TGIFs), onion rings (beats burger king HANDS DOWN!)all crispy.. and crunchy.. and dipped in jap tempura sauce. OMG.
So there we were.. cooking and eating at the same time.. burning our fingers and mouths 'cos of our impatient-ness..
and then one (not so) bright idea hit me!
TEMPURA ICE CREAM!!!

Heh. SO bright.
and the two girls adamantly REFUSED.
because it "doesn't work in a house kitchen!!too little oil.. not hot enough!"etc etc..

so.. i suggested Tempura chocolate!! (even brighter!)
and they dubiously agreed to give it a try.
So using (Very nice)MArks and Spencers hazelnut praline bar which i broke off.. we dunked it in batter.. and watched it sizzle... and THennn.. all the choc started melting and flowing into the oil.. and i tried dumping more batter into the HOT HOT oil... when suddenly.. this big "POP!" and a huge splash of oil hit me squarely on the thumb.. in 3 spots.. and gret's finger!
OWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~!!!!!

ANd thanks to our "amazing" first aid skills (hello.. officially certified ok.. ha)
we were running it under water and icing our fingers the rest of the night..
it was a throbbing throbbing pain.. that just seemed to keep resurfacing once the numbness of the ice wore off...

SO. DO NOT TRY tempura choc in a non- resturant kitchen.
It doensn't work.
Trust us.

After our little drama... and polishing off about 3 platefuls of fried tempura and filling overly sick.. we settled in for the main course! Lauren's lovely lagsange which she made, baked and brought all the waaaay from home!! And now.. i got the secret ingredient that makes it sooo soo good.
haha.
I can't BELIEVE we finished a whole hUGE loaf pan of it!
While watching desperate housewives of course.

Man... the final episodes are a girls' ogling dream come true.
Droooooling over Mike (i'm not crazy abt him.. but the two find him cute).. and JOHN the gardener!! And even lynette's husband.. whatever his name is.. (who was dressed in nothing but a pair of tight briefs!!!!!)

And when it came to the climax.. the final two episodes.. we realised.. MY FRIEND HAD THE WRONG EPISODES ON THE DISC!!!
oh my gosh..
we were all shrieking as loud as it was possible (at 2am)
final two!!
so what an anti climatic ending.. to desperate housewives..
gotta get the episodes soon tho.. :P

So.. we rummaged through more food.. chips.. cheezels.. biscuits..
and a late night snack of instant noodles with eggs at 3am!

and settled down to watch Princess Diaries and Oceans 12.
Which i promptly fell asleep in the middle of since i had watched it before...
and the two gals watched till abt 6am.. before we all fell asleep till about 8.30am.

Woke up to an extremely yummy breakfast of freshly baked blueberry muffins.. (made by yours truly..) scrambled eggs done JUST right (by lauren).. custard buns (thanks grets!) and sweet potato soup... and a cup of tea with sugar.. such a mixed up breakie.. haha.

Sleepover breakfasts are SO FUN.
the conversation was hilarious..
being all girly.. and talking abt the "you know" stuff of life.
I dunno.
the older u get,
the more disgusting you become.
when u can talk abt such topics over breakie.

And feeling extremely FAT and grossed out.
we hit another spot of late morning tennis!
the weather today was perfect.. except for the wIND. which was SO STRONG.. the balls were flying sideways.. and it was all so funny.. wanting to return a serve and have the ball come to a stand still right at your feet.

And after much procrastinating..
i drove the two gals home..
since we start clinics tommorrow (dreading..)
and i have an undone 2000 word assignment which MUST be 50 % done by the end of today.
so.
no more blogging.

i feel like one fat fat blob after all that food.
burps.
