  • Get a dress for Judson's wedding
  • Start on a pretty patch-work for my blanket
  • Shopping spree to Bangkok
  • Diving holiday to Redang
  • Meet up with ex-council mates
  • Practice my fondant icing
  • Clean up my room
  • Help Shanti with her wedding
  • Get a saree and dress for Shanti wedding
  • Catch up with loads of other friends
  • Temp a few days for Pam
  • and the list goes on.....

Had a good start to my holidays.. went for Hillsongs United concert and it was awesome.. The sound system was mega chun.. and they sang so many songs..

Met my childhood friend Adeline at the concert.. It was a good time catching up... Haven't talked with her like that in years.. There were some really good memories at TOG.. kinda miss my time at TOG.. Sad that I didn't keep in touch with so many of them.. Have no idea where most of them are now..

Saw Reuben as well at the concert tonight... He was one of the leaders when I was in Youth Church back in TOG.. Amazed that he could still recognize me after all these years..

I don't think I've ever seen a cuter passport picture.. =)

Icing my first cake

Last April I had the opportunity to bake a cake for my nephew, Tobias's 1st birthday.. It was just so exciting..

I've been baking for a few years now but this was the first cake I attempted to ice... Previously I would usually not ice the cake, or even if I do it would be really really simple.. maybe with just a little fruits or whipped cream.. I found icing a cake to be very messy.. and for years my mum has been wanting to teach me.. Somehow recently I got the interest to start icing and Tobias was my guinea pig.. =) Mum was just so delighted...

Tobias is a fan of Mickey Mouse so my cousin thought a Mickey Mouse cake would be great for him.. The cake was fairly simple to ice as I was able to get the tin with the exact shape.. It's not perfect but I'm happy with how it turned out, being my first time. Mum helped me out with the eyes and ears.. Hopefully I'll get better with practice..

In July I'm baking Jerome's 1st birthday cake.. He loves Elmo and just gives this gorgeous smile whenever he sees Elmo.. That would be a tougher cake for me as I don't have the tin, so I'll need to cut out Elmo on the cake.. Am still looking for the perfect picture of Elmo for him.. Will blog more about that once I finish the cake..

Joining the blogging family

It's 2.43am now and I just can't seem to fall asleep.. Probably due to the long nap I took in the afternoon.. So I decided that I will start my own blog..

Not sure how much I'll actually write in here.. we'll see...

Erythromycin

I've been sick almost the whole week now.. suffering from a very bad cough, fever, cold.. last night was really bad.. I started wheezing and my body just felt so weak..

Saw the doc today and he gave me some medicine including antibiotics.. Erythromycin.. I remember taking this antibiotics when I was much younger and I think I was allergic to it... Taking the first tablet today confirmed it.. I was allergic to Erythromycin.. guess I'll be will making another trip to the docs tomorrow morning..

I have my finals coming up in a week and still have lots to cover.. It's just been so hard studying with the fever..

Father, please heal me.. Amen!!
