en route; 
happy birthday to my monster of a sister, SHIRLENEYEONG! (:
i baked her birthday cake this year, which took me one whole entire day. fondanting a cake is really the hardest thing ever, so i understand why people charge a few hundred dollars for a customized fondant cake. zzz. so anyway, we spent a nice afternoon at Barracks @Dempsey's, followed by getting a quick manicure at Far East, though now i think my nails look like a small girl's nails. zzzz.
anyway, we had a nice birthday dinner at the Steakhouse @Clarke Quay, which had really fantastic meat &fantastic service, followed by a customized birthday profiteroles platter for my sister, along with my (embarrassing) cake for my sister. hahaha. headed for drinks at holiday inn after that, and i really must say: 42Below Honey is one of my new favourite drinks. hahaha.
AND YAY DIDI JUST CALLED!! <3
this was the first family birthday dinner without that horrible, annoying, cousin of mine. haha. every now &then,
life takes a turn, and once again i find myself being thrown around. this time is no exception.
i've been thrown around as a friend; one moment i'm supposed to be there, the next i'm expected to leave, and the very next, i'm supposed to be there again.
i've been thrown around at work; one moment i'm supposed to do something, the next i'm expected to do something else, and the very next moment, i'm being scolded for doing another thing.
and i suppose we've all been at this place one way or another.
but THIS. this is seriously something i never expected.
call me bitter, call me resentful, or whatever. but this is seriously something i never expected to get, and honestly speaking, i am thoroughly pissed. i just chose to hide it from the people in concern.
whatever the case, while i was (sadly &stupidly) thrown around this time, i shall stand up &move on.
because if this was the way things would've turned out, i guess it's better to find out now.
pfft. 
been feeling really sore &bitter about a lot of things lately,
so i made these cake pops to cheer myself up.
i really need to get my life back on track,
with regards to whether is it my current job(less) situation, my lack of ambition to even things like my friendships/relationships. perhaps it's the additional time on my hands which has caused me to have all these thoughts coming out all at once.
but there's this one particular part i really want to test.
and if i test, and it fails, i think this might really mean the end of all things. to take this step, or not to take this step? PFFFT.
on a lighter note,
i'm actually blogging from my new beloved laptop, now affectionately known as Sexy the II, while the original Sexy has been currently placed in retirement <3 thankyou for serving me faithfully for 4 years &approximately 3 months. hahaha.
okay. time to go back to wallowing. the days have been good.
1) brunch with bubbles &zhen at The House of Robert Timms (:
2) happy 36months to myboy &i (:
3) more Robert Timms &Rider's cafe! WHOOT.
4) Pepper Lunch &Starbucks @U-Town with zhen &kai :D
5) Soup Spoon with the awesome charlottelim!
6) The Pizza Place &Bobby's with mich tan, yx, mah, kai, ching, zq, kenchin, zhen &char, WITH GUEST STARS SABRINAWEE &JULIANA ONG! hahaha. we skyped our guest stars via ipad at Bobby's, which ended up being pretty awesome, especially when we started our toasting. hoho.
guess it's all about food.
except that i havent been baking as much as i would really like to be.
next up on the to-do list:
- NUTELLA CUPCAKES
- CAKEPOPS <3
hopefully this space will be updated with tasty goodies very soon. sometimes i really wonder what i'm doing with my life.
i really should start waking up. From my heart to the Heavens, Jesus be the center.
been feeling rather PMS-y these few days,
so my mood's been swinging like crazy. one moment i'm really happy, and the next moment i'm really grumpy. kinda makes me feel somewhat bipolar, and the feeling really isnt that great.
on a happier note,
i managed to meet the very awesome sheri, jess &meredith on sunday afternoon for lunch (MY SECOND LUNCH OMGG) &a tiny shopping trip. note to self, STOP SHOPPING WITH THESE GIRLS. when i shop with others, i'm usually finding stuff for them or going home empty-handed cos i didn't manage to find anything, BUT THESE GIRLS ARE CRAZY. i managed to find myself two pairs of shoes, my very awesome brown satin/silk pants (THESE ARE DAMN HARD TO FIND BTW), and a wallet. but i managed to have a little self-control, and ended up only buying one pair of shoes &a new wallet, because that's supposedly of top priority on my list.
next up? THOSE SUPER AWESOME PANTS. and maybe those other pair of shoes to match. HAHA okay no. but they were really very pretty. sigh.
on an EVEN happier note,
congratulations to the dear (LAOLAO) ALVIN TEO on his engagement! (:
okay. more Plants VS Zombies calls. 
so i spent my entire friday doing nothing but basking in the very awesome sun.
weather.com lied &told me that today was going to be all rain &thunderstorm, but i woke up to a cloudless sky with nothing but a super awesome sun. swimming never felt so good (:
my two very late swimming/tanning buddies came (VERY LATE) at about 2pm,
but i was there since 12PM AND NONE OF THEM COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE. this is how poorly i tan.
okay.
PLANTS VS ZOMBIES calls to me :P
(thanks to the awesome marcus bay! hoho.) 
in dedication to my new found <3 for baking,
i've created a page for me (and hopefully whoever reads this) to keep the memories of each &every single item that i've baked. they're simple &amateurish, but they make me happy, so yay (:
enjoy <3 cupcake pies!
strawberry jam filled cupcakes shaped as pies!
t'was a good day <3
