Origami Night

We had big plans, such big plans for Origami Night. Which was the same day as Chan's wall-painting by the way. There were minor little disappointments, like Chan not getting the invite, and well, not doing much origami after all, haha. But all in all, I think it was pretty fun, don't you? =D And we finished (okay, I finished) most of the food! The food turned out not too bad, especially the sushi rice. And the green tea cookies were surprisingly nice =) Surprising because they weren't as pretty as we expected, haha. Oh! Which reminds me, I don't have any pictures of the cookies (possibly because they weren't pretty), Maddy, do you?
Discussions for the big day at TCC, where we tried a bit of origami between coffee and wedges. We wanted to make a little surprise for you guys, Chan, Chee, but it didn't quite work out =p I won't go into details, but you can see the stuff below. On the other hand, the chopsticks weren't wasted, haha. Maddy, I still think we can try again another day, haha. I see what you mean about chains being a better option now.

Prodding the green tea cookie dough (which Maddy claims is really delicious) to make sure it's firm enough to roll out. Well, it wasn't for very long, the mini cookie cutters were hell to use because the cookie dough was so soft and sticky. In the end we gave up and made ball/spiral cookies. The cookies expanded anyway, but they looked really chinese.
The ingredients for our sushi.
The whole spread! Looks quite nice yes? Soba noodles, sushi, green tea shortbread cookies, japanese snacks, miso soup, green tea and cherries. And japanese themed cutlery too =)

I think all the origami that happened were the boxes that chee folded to hold the cookies and snacks, and the frogs and waterlilies that Maddy and Chan made. Oh well, haha. Another time then.
