With Tired Eyes

Red Velvet cupcakes, anyone ?

Hello earthlings ! :)

Woke up at half past eleven today to the sound of Bibik's ~~loud~~ voice, ~~screaming~~ calling out my name from the porch. As usual, my phone's on silent so Mummy can't reach me. She's already at the bake house by that time. She wouldn't wake me up early on Tuesdays and Fridays since Bibik will be around. Other days, I am the 'bibik'. Hehe.

Anyways, the reason bibik was in the porch calling me was because, for the umpteenth time, Abang mispalced the house key. So he took Mummy's set of keys. Which left her with no house key at the moment, hence bibik calling me from the porch since the only key left is last spare key in the house-in the room where i was sleeping.

Oh my, this is so confusing. Let me make this clear ? There's two houses which I will always refer to here in my blog. One, is the old house which I personally call the 'bake house'. We-My mum and I- go there to bake, usually from morning till evening. The other house, is where we sleep and well, stay in basically. When there's no cakes, we don't go to the bake house. Yeah , so that's about it.

So. Luckily I was woken up by Bibik's voice. I had a really bad dream. Wasn't really a nightmare , but it sure wasn't a happy dream. Dreamt about Result Day *gulps*.

Okay, enough about my morning. It's not even important. Nothing is, actually. But who the hell cares.

11.30a.m , is not really early. I usually wake up around nine, since I'm helping mummy with the cakes now. Wouldn't wanna start late cuz we'll finish even later. Today was an exception though. Slept at 2a.m yesterday. Not because I was facebooking, watching dvd, or any other normal stuffs people do staying up.

I was kinda torturing myself the whole day yesterday. Shigim's office mate ordered sixty pieces of Red Velvet cupcakes. As some of u might know, Red Velvet is the it cake right now. It's been the talk of town and more and more people wanna try it. I was glad to accept the order. Mummy baked the cupcakes. I only helped to put them in the cupcases. Which is not at all tiring. I iced each and every cupcake all by myself too. Yeap, that swirly cream cheese! And sprinkled snow balls on them.

The 'torturing' started when I suddenly thought of giving myself a ~~little~~ task. Thought it would be fun. So Shigim bought sixty normal tiny cake boxes that fit only one cupcake. Perfect enough. But I, wanted to make the boxes look more appealing. So, mummy and had a short trip to Ampang Point. I bought a pen-knife, uhu glue, double-sided tapes, and a few transparent plastic(the ones u use as cover for binding). To my surprise, all of those cost me a bomb. But mummy said it's okay, think of it as an investment-like a promotion.

So. I bought all those , since I've made up my mind to make a transparent surface for the boxes so the cupcakes are visible-not covered. I had to cut out the surface, and paste transparent or plastic paper on it. Sounds easy, but it's totally NOT easy. My fingers were all red and swollen.

Stayed up folding the hand made pretty boxes(hihi), pasting double sided tapes before and after putting the doily to make sure that the cupcakes will stay. Then took out the cupcakes from the fridge bit by bit. Put them in boxes. Then labelled each box with "Let's.Eat.Cakes" stickers. And arranged all sixty boxes in the fridge.

Very tedious, I tell you. I swear I'll never ever do that again. The box, I mean.

The sad thing is. I don't have any picture of the box that I made. I felt like crying when I realized that. Not even one picture ! Sighh. I was a tad too tired to even think of taking pictures.

This, is the last picture that I took. No cake-in- box picture :'(

And right now, my eyes are half-closed. This post is longer than I plan to write. Wanna sleep now. Going jogging with mummy tomorrow.

Toodles. Till then.

Lotsa love from Zully Wully, xoxo

Thursday, January 27, 2011 @ Thursday, January 27, 2011 A Walk To Remember Yeap, u read the title. Believe or not, I just watched it. I am almost freaking eighteen and just now was my first time watching this wonderful movie. A big shocker here ! This is totally my kind of movie. Every girl's kind of movie I suppose. Shane West is such a good actor and he's undeniably hot. Mandy Moore. I love her voice ! It makes you calm. No wonder my sis Shigim loved this movie so much and she's a fan of Mandy too. The dvd has been on the dvd rack since forever. I have no freaking idea why I have not watched it. Pathetic. U might think i'm making a big deal out of this. It is, a big deal actually. But then again. Better late than never, no ? Also , I have another confession to make. Early 2009, i planned to read the book. Shigim's book. It's very very old. And dusty. I.. slept after reading a few pages and never continued reading. Crazy, I am. To any of you girls who haven't watched this movie(i doubt there's any) , go watch it now ! You'll fall in love with it. Till then Lotsa love from Zully Wully, xoxo back to top?
