sometime ago i went to the park with dad, i cycled for the first time ever alone.

dad was fishing and caught a crab, look at how happy dad is!  : )

that’s the little crab.

we released him back to the sea soon after.. he was crawling sideways and kept toppling over which looked really amusing.

I had a really wonderful 18th birthday!

It was celebrated with my family with cakes from Patisserie Glace which I managed to order despite it being a last minute decision one day before the day itself.

I had 7 other sliced cakes/tarts from there too as my cake seemed too small for the family. :p

This cake is called Strawberry Hill, it has lots of layers thus provides very yummy texture contrast~ Doesn’t it look so pretty?

That yellow tart is DAMM GOOD! It’s like egg custard on top with pear in the middle.. It’s called La France.

My angelic bunch of friends in school bought this delicious matcha cake with azuki beans for me and we devoured it on the spot. (: Heartwarming.

I also had Cedele’s carrot cake with B!

Thank you my angelic friends and family for the well wishes, treats, gifts and basically just being part of my life.

I may not list all your names down here or send out thank you cards or give anything in return but deep down it is really, truly appreciated..

happy papa’s day..

encouragement cards for cousins.

the blank space is for family members and friends to leave their short messages..

made with love~

: )  love it to bits! from aunt!

and meet teega~ hand puppet joining the family on the bed~

today was a great morning~ woke up at 7 after a long long sleep and went out to the market for a leisurely breakky with mum~ had a great chat over porridge and soya bean curd. :D it’s been a long long time. the cooling winds and morning sky feels really great and refreshing.

xmas eve, i shook off laziness and decide to have something different for breakfast..

i stirfried mashed baked beans and yoghurt with onions and scrambled eggs and had it with my favourite bread, toasted.

Heavenly~ love biting into that tasty gooey thick filling..

had yoghurt again with cereal flakes and the remiaining strawberries.. plus my new jam – strawberry and pomegranate! i love it.. it tasted very naturally sweet~ delish..

also had fried rice.. haven’t had it in a long long time..

night was feating on sherperd pies, 3 kinds of chickens, satay, sushi, peach tarts, chicken pies, otah, tang shui, fruits, logcakes and moreeeee at granny’s.

how did everyone spend xmas..?

I’m back from camp! So tired right now and way way behind on my postings!

Happy birthday to mummy! (: Up above is my drawing of the family in chibi form~

Sis organized a family dinner for all of us at Waraku~ been a long time since we dined out together.

We got a private room all to ourselves and it was really cosy and relaxing~ you can kneel down on pillows and eat, just like the japanese!

Pictured above is what we had.. decent food but what really makes it all worthwhile and enjoyable is the company. :D

Dragged mum along to Vivocity yesterday, and while i was there, how can i not stop by Cedele?

Here’s my loots from Vivo:

A panda bathing sponge, lunchbox belt(baby!! picnic!! hee) and buckwheat noodles.

Vivo’s Daiso is pretty and has alot of cute stuff which imakes you feel like buying though it serves no real purpose.

Cedele paperbag!

Take a look at what’s inside.. scones!

The raisin scone was quite a disappointment. Perhaps it was my oven’s fault as it failed to warm up the scone properly(more like my fault actually). The raisins were yummy but not very generous..

On the other hand, the cranberry scone fared better. This time i warmed it up sufficiently in another oven. It was really crusty on the outside, slightly crumbly on the inside with cranberries that complement the buttery taste of the scone well. Had it with my favourite St Dalfour jam. (:

I guess i better dine in next time so that they could warm the scones up for me. ): The texture is just not right.. no soft and melty feel.

I heard that Vivo’s Cedele’s quality does not match up to its other outlets. Is it true?

Cousin came over today and we baked butter cookies together.

She accidentally spilled sprinkles all over the floor, some fell into the batter.. :p

First batch turned out too big and colourful..

I topped the following batches with nuts and chocolate chips instead..

Purposely burnt it as it looks malnourished unburnt. :p Mum says it’s more crisp and frangrant too.

Hmmm..
