Things I did during the holidays~ # Part 2

SHUN'S BIRTHDAY!:) 

Ooh hoooo, next up!! Shun's birthday was just around the corner, and somebody here was quite free still:) Hmmm...

As I was watching TV and thinking of what I could do at the same time, my sister started baking, hmm again? Yes it's AGAIN! I think baking is now her latest hobby, nowadays she bakes quite often, haha quite good also, I get to eat them :P yummy yummy, if not yummy just eat one slice and keep quiet will do XD

Then I asked her what are you baking this time, ' Oh it's red velvet cake again!! You wanna help me??' Then I said, 'Oohh it's okay... I will just watch, hehehee' Baking was never my cup of tea, probably because after I failed miserably during the first attempt, I just didn't have the motivation to bake again! So lousy right? :P

As usual, I would watch her bake, and maybe disturbed her a bit, or be her little helper, taking this taking that for her. Apparently, she was baking the cake for her boss's birthday, so thoughtful right! Then she said, 'Do you all want to eat also? I have another set of ingredients to bake one more cake.' 

Then suddenly this thought came into my mind, maybe I could bake a cake for Shun! Yeah this would be a good idea!!:D Only then I started to be more interested in what my sister was doing. Kept asking her was it hard to bake this, how to do this, how to do that?? For the 1st time! 

Then she just told me to go to this website, so I read everything and watched the video, hey didn't seem to be too hard:) And if you're interested too, click here.

So the next day, I spent my whole day baking with my younger sister. It was exceptionally fun because I was baking for a reason, thus I told myself,' This time I must not fail, must give shun a cake on her birthday!!'

For the first time, I was reading a recipe so thoroughly without skipping a single sentence or word, even my sister was asking,' Are you done yet?? I can't wait to start alreadyy!' Me replied, ' Heyy give me some time la, I want to make a nice cake this time or maybe even nicer than the one jie made xP'. Super ambitious right, when it was only my first time baking a birthday cake:D

All the materials were taken out before baking! so Are you READY??

Hehee this looks a bit disgusting over here, hey wait laa...

Waiting anxiously for the cake, 2 more minutes, it's 2 more minutes!!

Not too bad looking right?? But in fact it should be redder for a red velvet, sb here reduced the amount of the red colouring, coz think that it looks kinda poisonous:P

Spreading the cream cheese on top really took me ages, lol so hard to make it even! Y u still no smooth yet..??

First round of decoration~ using my favourite- STRAWBERRIES!! :D

Since there's a big empty space, why not put her name right? :)

Lol still can't believe that I baked!

On her birthday, a few of us celebrated for her. Though it wasn't like a big celebration, but we spent one whole day with her, trying to keep her happy, amid the stress she was facing while preparing for the major exams. 

The pretty card jin made, so creative right?:)

Birthday girl looking really happy here!:DD

I think I'm starting to have a little more interest in baking now. Wow my god who's talking here, ME!!!! Yea I'll try to bake again when I have the mood, so till then!! :DDD I just like seeing people's happy faces, it makes me happy too:D

Alright, to be continued... # part 3 cominggg!!!

A memorably sweet 21st :)

I'm officially 21now!!! HAHA after all the pre-birthday celebrations:)

THIS is a significant age in life, as now I am legally permitted to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages, enter a casino, vote for whichever party I want and etc. In a way, it also means I'm now expected to take on more responsibilities and be responsible for whatever I do.

Since this seemed like something worth remembering in my life, I decided to hold a birthday party after some thoughts.

I actually had a hard time choosing the date for my party as my birthday is always so near CNY. Then when I took out the calender, realized that really not much choice left. So in the end I decided to make it on the 21st Jan 2012. Hmmph (21.1.12) is such a nice date!!:)

SO cool right?? I was celebrating my 21st birthday on the 21st and one more thing my house number plate is 21 too:) Everything just seemed so great :)

Then I started inviting friends, at first the people who could attend was very little, because many of them had to go back to their respective hometowns. So my initial plan was to get only 10 friends to come :P


Then one week had passed, not even 10 people could make it :/ But I just continued  inviting people, even though in my mind I thought the chances of them coming would be almost zero.

But guess what?? In the end, those people whom I thought wouldn't come actually turned up for my party. That proved that I was wrong, so conclusion is you will never know until you try:)

From the initially slowly vanishing enthusiasm to becoming more and more anticipated for the big day to come was how I felt at that time. 


Honestly, I didn't prepare anything until the day before my party, yes it was that crazy!! And that was also when I felt like I was the luckiest person in the world ever. Because everyone in the family just came forward to help me in almost everything I needed or wanted, not to forget even my maids:)

But due to the time constraint, I didn't expect everything to be perfect, just tried my best to do whatever I could. There was no food catering, because I couldn't tell my dad the number of people attending until the last few days. So everything had to be on our own >> DIY!!

Everyone in my house suddenly became so busy just because of me:) Ops and I didn't pre-order my birthday cake which gave my sister quite a challenging task. She went to the bakery shop on Saturday to order a birthday cake for me. So happened that the baker was going to leave for CNY holidays already, luckily she managed to persuade him:P 

All I could do was to decorate my house and nothing much, since I can't really cook:P And I was very happy with the end-product!!! Everything was well-done and nicely arranged, and seeing all my friends arriving on that day although it was still drizzling made me really touched. I just love having many friends around me :D 


Here are some pictures of the day:

Nice setting~

With awesomely nice friends~ (obviously more than 10 here, and I made them wear RED!!:D )

gave me a memorably sweet 21st!!:)

Thanks for all the presents, cards, and wishes!!! :DDD

I want to say a big thank you to my dearest family members for all your help!! Thanks to all my friends for coming. Thanks to everyone who wished me. THANK YOU is all I want to say here. And I will treasure this golden period of my life!!:D

Twen-teen, NO is Twenty ^^

# Almost 2 decades have gone, now I'm finally 20, just can't believe it!!

20 years ago, I was still a little baby. Now, I'm no longer a baby nor a teenager, but beginning to enter adulthood. 

Can you see that   TIME  is flying really fast ~?? 

Hmm... I might still behave like a child when my actual age is 20, you know it just takes time for this transition to take place :p

Being 20, I would expect myself to think more maturely, be more responsible and also more independent. 

I just feel that there should be a difference :) #

~OmG... it's tooOOooo CUTE !!!!

This year I had a pretty cool birthday with some of my really awesome friends. In fact, they gave me a surprise on my birthday.

Siew Ming planned with my sister without me knowing ^^

I didn't suspect much or anything, just felt that something was going to happen on that day~ Knowing that my friends are so nice to me :)

This year I didn't have a party like last year. Because I just wanted a pretty simple yet happy birthday :D

I was so happy to see my friends who were there just to celebrate for me, you know it was on a monday night, but they still made it. 

Aww~ you people are just so wonderful!!

Thanks for being so thoughtful~

Pretty birthday cards, pretty balloons with pretty ladies behind me :D

I seriously sucked at it, but I had someone to give me instructions :P

B'day (:

** Yeah, finally siewming has turned 19. Hehe :) And so happened that I was free that day, so I'd decided to do something for her as a gift. 

I decided to make a video for her,more like a photo slide show actually ^^ hmm... the quality of this video isn't that good, coz some of the photos aren't that clear, and I was lazy to edit them :p

But I think this is at least better than the previous video :) for I had more time to figure out what I wanna do :D

Trying to make the card/case look CUTE :)

Just make the inside as simple as possible coz I was in the rush :p

** Then, I quickly rushed to the Gardens at 1 Utama for the celebration. I was just in time for that. That day we celebrated for 2 persons, siewming & yixuan. Sorry yx, I didn't have time to prepare something for you. Hopefully you enjoyed the meal ^^
