Bruises

Buka: nasi and ayam masak kicap, choy sum(or is it pak choy. something related to bok choy) cooked in oyster sauce. Followed by 6 cupcakes, a pear, then a (small) pack of chips and a few slugs of water.

In my defense, it's been a pretty grueling day.

Well, not exactly the whole day. it's just that it ended on a grueling note. I would wail about how my illusions on the existence of some unwritten law of decency regarding asking questions during a presentation have been shattered(shattered, I tell you), but cupcakes and chips can soften the tension. Plus, a nice(and maybe over-friendly but quite good-looking cashier) chatted amicably with me while I was paying for my groceries just now, so that was pleasant(shut up i know I'm easily giddy when it comes to these things).

Ok, here's a breakdown of the cupcakes. I made standard(read:easiest) butter cupcakes, and I got about 12 in total from the batter, excluding 3 more I forgot about and partially burnt. Amongst those twelve I'd like to dedicate 3 to specific people.

First one goes to Fatin, as a horrendously belated birthday wish(sorry, Fatin! my super bad). I know this is coming really late, but I hope you had an excellent birthday :D

The one on the right goes to Azrieal, whose birthday was a few days ago, on the exact day the lucky chap hopped on a plane to go back home. I don't think you read the blog anyway, but happy birthday again and tell nasi lemak and ayam madu I'm coming home in approximately 2 and a half months.

And the center muffin goes to diyana, who has officially gone off to the place where Camelot may be, and whom I miss. I still wish I'd been there to see you off.

Ok. So i dedicated a cupcake(muffin, whatever) to you. Not that you get to eat it. Kiranya I ate them in your honour la. Which defeats the purpose of it all, but hey! it's the thought that counts. Ni buat daripada tangan ok.(Kero I took your advice and am aiming for arm muscles, woot).

Or maybe these were all just excuses for me to finish them cupcakes off. They aren't the best, not as soft as I'd like, but I still like them. they remind me of the cupcakes mom and I would make for raya(minus the chocolate sprinkles). Hark at me growling and defending my cupcakes' honor.

Oh, try checking out this song, apparently it's the track on the new ipod nano commercial. I think it's very pretty.


Pictures. for the sake of it.
Aina, during merdeka celebrations. Honestly, who else can pull off a candid pic holding an umbrella looking as (dare I say)ayu as this? And with her mouth open!
Shao Min's hands demonstrating the fine art of fitting an oversized lasagna piece in a pan. Notice how her hands are blurred, testament to the fact that she's super skilled(hands moving at lightning speed!). or I could just be a shit photographer.

Maybe I should just stay up until sahur time.
