virago

yesterday's dinner was fun! many people from the class came. i think it's so nice to be able to meet with everyone and talk about current lives. we were also celebrating toffa's and beejuan's birthday. baked cookies and cream cupcakes in the morning with seibu (and weiyang)!
yellow batter made with still-cold eggs. i think the cold eggs may have made the recipe fail somewhat.
crushed oreo cookies folded into the batter. somehow, the colour of this was different from the one in the book.
spooning the batter into the cups. next time i'll only half-fill the cups, and i'll place the paper cups in metal cases to prevent spreading of the batter =(
see! the spreading batter made every cupcake lose its shape =( never made something so ugly before.
making the icing by hand. i beat the cold butter with icing sugar without using my machine at all!
the end product. but mummy says i should have beat longer, to the point that the icing is like a cream. and i think it's way too sweet.
weiyang helped by sleeping, watching desperate housewives and decorating the cupcakes. so, the final product was just like that. didn't look very professional, but i think the taste was ok.

i think i want to buy the culinary institute of america's baking and pastry book, which is the textbook for baking and pastry students.

after the dinner we were sitting on top of vivocity and telling ghost stories. got an apron from the couple for valentines' day. so pinky. there was sleepover at weiyang's house after that, in which we played some tarot cards. and then we woke up and lazed around this morning and went to botak jones for lunch. yayness i can eat a lot now because i know i will lose the weight, and the thunder thighs.

keep a secret and let the secret keep you.
