Nope, no costume party or nothing. It's not that I didn't want to get involved but dressing up in funny costumes in the cold weather ain't my cup of tea. Yes, I really dislike dressing up against the cold weather. Perhaps I need a new wadrobe (HINT). But hey, all I need is just to snuggle up in bed reading or writing or watching with a cup of tea or hot chocolate by my side. Peaceful. Or maybe I'm growing 'old' lol.

Anyway, weekend was packed with FOOD again. Haha, can't run away from it and it sticks by my side when the cold and dark weather kicks in. There was a last minute gathering occasion and so I took the opportunity to make something again and I made Kuih Serimuka for the first time as well as to get rid of the pandan leaves that is taking up alotta space in the freezer. I too decided to practice on my 'photography' skillz.

Apparently food photos are the hardest of them all so if you master this, you can master anything. Cheh wah. Here's my 'attempt'. I briefly read on some tips online and see how it worked. More info here on my experiences making this Kuih.


Was also focusing alot on my cupcakes for Monday. My first batch sunk, which made my hard sunk 10x more. Sigh, it tasted good regardless so I'm gald I didn't have to throw it away. So I decided to try them again. I know, more you make mistakes, more you learn. But I did feel like I went round in circles by not following instructions but then again, it does clarify things much more just like life. Can't be too perfect, have to try something you don't want to in order to know what you want to do in life. Heh.

Anyway, Friday night was serimuka, sat day was cupcakes and Saturday evening was gathering at friend's place. Ate lotsa KFC and carrot cupcakes made by a friend and played Wii. Coming home was quite scary as I was surrounded by people all dressed up in costumes. Feels really eerie as everyone is hiding their identity that night, brings a good chance for someone to take the advantage and do something evil. Either that, I am getting paranoid these days of watching too much tv and movies.

Sunday was cupcakes again and headed out to dinner at the York & Albany (one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant) with my group of girlfriends. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience even walk to the restaurant as it was a whole different atmosphere altogether as you get off the touristy streets.I bumped into an organic shop where they sold proper organic fruits and veges. The apples were 3 times larger than normal and the chocolate bars were way cheaper than anywhere else I found. Apparently celebreties hang out in this area too since it's very close to Regent's Park (one of the largest in London town).
