EH my GIF image doesn't work! Why huh? :(

So many weeks ago I tried out Red Velvet cupcakes, and they were pretty damn yummy by my standards. LOL. I had tons of cream cheese frosting leftover, so the following week I made another batch of Red Velvet and also tried out another flavour, Banana Chocolate!

I really like the Banana Chocolate. I think they tasted better than my Red Velvet! Moist and nice (could be because of the bananas and not my awesome baking skills). Whereas my 2nd batch of Red Velvet was a little dryer - perhaps it roasted in the oven for a tad too long.

But my, that was a very busy Sunday. My parents were holidaying in China then, and I decided to make my own pizza on top of busying around with the baking. Back breaking work I tell you. To top it off there were also a ton of household chores to be completed. :(

Instead of spamming the entire page with photos of cupcakes in various forms and stages of baking, here's a little GIF image that I created on my phone.




This was my very first attempt at Red Velvet, before the frosting.


Another baking frenzy the subsequent week, with my little sister's help!

And here's the pizza that was chao tah at the base and it was stuck to the pot. Spent such a long time scrubbing it! :(

I still have some cream cheese frosting and Bailey's frosting left over. What should I bake next?

Ooops! My blog's looking a little woebegone. I've neglected you, blog! :(

3 weeks has gone by since my last post and what has happened?

11/11/11 happened! And the days leading up to that momentous event was spent juggling guest lists, logistics, transport, converting footage, yada yada yada for the that big ceremonial and symbolic event that actually doesn't mean anything significant really - GROUNDBREAKING.

Oh the sweet relief when the event was finally over!

Also just came back from a weekend 2D1N trip to Batam with family and relatives. You know one bad thing about travelling with family or a big group like this? Oh gosh the noise! And the kancheong-ness! They can't just chill - no, they must yell instructions loudly, talk over each other, boss people around... Can get rather jarring on the ears.

Noise aside, Batam probably deserves a blog post on its own. Which I will do so once I find the time to blog! Also spent an entire weekend baking in the hot sun, drenched in the rain, weathering the elements and unpredictable weather, just to help my friend out in a shoot for a short film. Which also rightly deserves another post by its own!

The year's passing by so fast, I don't even know what I'm doing sometimes... my 365 blog, which was meant to chronicle my entire year, is quite a failure hahahaha. I got too lazy to post photos every day. :p

But the end of the year is nigh! I likey! Festive mood and all that! :)

Hellooooooooo it's 1/11/11!!! :) Once in a lifetime occurrence okay! Half an hour left before the day ends!

I'm proud to say that I didn't waste my birthday this year lazing around and doing nothing! Spent it having fun and feasting which is what birthdays should be like. Right? Haha :)

I am now so full after a huge dinner and I think I've put on a couple of kgs after all the eating and good food leading up to this birthday week. And I foresee more birthday lunches and dinners coming! Should stop snacking and start eating smaller portions!

Here's to being 26 and may the coming year be fabulous and awesome and legen...wait for it... dary!!! Haha! Props if you get the HIMYM reference! And may this be the year I get to climb a mountain!!! *tinkles wine glasses*
