Two days before Christmas...
Two more days before Christmas and I am so glad that my Christmas Mojo is back!! Where did it go? That is another story. So today, I want to blog about yesterday and today sebab siok...hehehe...
Bah, cerita 22th December dulu...
Ladies and gentlemen, after 28 years I finally gotten myself a professional pedicure. Iya, kesian kan? Lama suda bah kunun sia mau pigi, namun because of kekangan kewangan and masa, my dreams of getting an OPI-ed pedicure remained a dream until yesterday. By the way, a note for the male readers, OPI is a brand of nail polish...it's not just a nail polish, it's one of the best nail polish around the market.
nah, ini lah OPI punya nail polish..
So, after picking Belle from work, we made a beeline to CentrePoint and then to Palm Square. There at the Nail Bar, we both catch up over cerita-cerita lama and just enjoy each other's company. Who is Belle? She's my bestfriend time sekolah menengah duluuuuuuuu....
This is Belle.
Ini saya. (Dei...ignore the bad hair.)
My feet pre-pedicure. Punya banyak kesan-kesan luka...uhuhuhu...nonetheless, an hour later...
TADAAAA!!!!
UuuUuuuUuuu...those little piggies are so sexy in red!!!
Then, after pedicure my cousin Abigail texted me and asked me to come along with my other cuzzies to look for the Pink dress. What for? Another cousin is getting married this 28th so all of us single ladies were asked to do the offertory during Mass later. My aunt (the mother of the groom) asked us all to wear pink at church and white at the home reception. I only have to look for a pink dress. So, we meet up at CityMall (the land of so many babelicious dresses) and found what we were looking for...yeay!! Then, we all dinner at PapaRich and baru kami realised...we had just had our cousins' outing!! Well, we did planned for an outing but balik-balik postpone...baru sekarang terjadi nie hehehe...
Abigail and Becky. They're sisters (in case you were wondering).
Livvy and Haydee (Livvy shares the same parents with Abigail and Becky. Haydee is my aunt's daughter),
Dudut, Ezekiel (Maryanne's fiance to be) and Maryanne. (Si Maryanne and si Dudut adik beradik).
I was the waitress-in-charge that night. Bulih-bulih ah tersalah tulis order. Fail lah kalau jadi waitress...adeh.
Us.
Bah, sekarang cerita ini hari. 24th December is my mom's birthday. For this year, I decided to summon my dormant Nigella-side and relearn my baking skills which I had left for almost 8 years now. I revisited Putatan's Bake With Me shop, got my supplies and get ready to dirtify my sleeves. Oh, I also prayed that the cupcakes would turn out okay. 8 years of abstaining from baking could be cake-castrophic!!
My cupcake making ingredients and supplies. Oh, and my kitchen hehehe
I bought the measuring sets just for this project. I don't know why I feel so proud of owning these thingamajics..hahah...
Mom's electric mixer broke on me just when I needed it the most!! Nah, tagaplah tangan kanan sia due to excessive cake mixture beating...
Second batch ready for the oven. First batch? Hehehe...hangus sebab tu oven terlampau panas :-P
Cupcakes yang sudah jadi cupcakes...
Cupcakes in pink. It's Mom's favourite colour, sia decorate sendiri nie...
The finished product!!! Just for your information, the pink one is vanilla flavoured; the chocolate ones are chocolate mint (my fave topping cos they taste like Tim Tams) and the white toppings are cream cheese frosting.
I hope Mom will love it!!
