THURSDAY: I'm taking the next plane to a foreign land!
FRIDAY: I'll be in that land.
SATURDAY: I'll still be in that land.
SUNDAY: I'm taking the next plane home.

Fondant Cupcakes!

When I was a kid, grandma used to give me a handful of dough to play with whenever she mingled some for mihun-kueh during lunch. I loved that. I always loved that. I remember there was once when I tried making my own dough from the material I could gain access to. Baby powder! I poured some amount into a bowl and mixed it with water. See how smart little Wendy was but the mixture was too friable. Then mommy noticed how much I loved that, she bought me a set of Play-Doh to mess with. I had all the colors mixed up in the end they became one large chunk of dough.

I have a soft spot for adorable stuff. Today, I decided to bake some cupcakes and have them decorated with fondant. I would usually do up with icing and cream but this time, for a change, for something in trend, I used fondant instead. It's easy because this ready made confection can be purchased from bakery stores and it's white in color. All I did was mixing colors to it and squish and squeeze the dough into different shapes. As for the base, I draped the cake with thin sheaths of fondant. Naomi was around to help me sculpt the icing-like substance. The moulding process interests me alot. It's fun, really. My three faithful supporters, Shang and Annjo, including Naomi love the cake so much, they took all of my creations. I got Shang to be my model this time and boy, he's such a good poser!

Cupcakes, anyone? :D

Monte's and I-City

When everyday is a farewell, it's worth a celebration. My aunts and bro threw me mini farewell party at Monte's Restaurant and Wine Bar @ Bangsar Shopping Complex on my last day of stay in KL. Since it was an impromptu idea to go there after we left the house, we were all too underdressed for an elegant dining that night. All in all, here's an infinite gratitude to my beloved er-yi and aunt Za for their love and care during this period of stay. I'm missing life there already.

I've been seeing people posting up pictures of I-City. So yeah, was randomly telling my aunt about it and she brought Alvin and I there for a Deepavali lightscape-countdown. The billions LED lights which lit up the city is a majestic view, we could even see it from afar. What a pity, pictures taken are all blurry and not at all captivating. I think my Nikon semi-pro DSLR is an awful camera? After spending so much, I still think my dear old faithful cybershot is better, no pun though it's just a 7.2mp camera.

The end of another good journey.

Fat Spoon and Alexis

I'm done with electives! Hurray!! Four weeks trickles by faster than I thought. Just as I wish for extra time to chance by my everyday life, it seems to slip away even faster. It's a request that doesn't sound promising. I've done a lot during this one month. Precious time spent with my family and friends, they are never retrievable at any time I want to. But certainly, memories prevail.

Yesterday was yet another good day. Nothing beats this bunch of buddies I met since primary school. Hello, that was more than a decade ago. We watch one another grow up through our adolescence and now, reigning the title 'full-grown lass' with much pride and dignity. Back to yesterday. We had a notable dine-in at Fat Spoon, Uptown Damansara. It's a old-school restaurant where they offer a range of kampung-style menu and it felt just like we were back in those days where fork and knife were considered foreign to us, while spoon and chopsticks were at intimacy. Ley-Lynn has returned from USA and Chuan Bee flew in from Singapore, just in time for this priceless gathering. We had so much of fun, exactly.

As usual, one round is never enough. We continued our chill-out session at Alexis, Bangsar. Cakes served there are fantastic! Ley-Lynn was sharing her experience during Work-and-Travel and a fact she mentioned which amused me was, 'If you work in Alaska for 3 months, you get to save USD$20k at the end of the trip.' Alright, I will not mind the job of catching fishes, mending nets and living in the igloo with polar bears and seals for 3 months. This deal sounds too tempting for me to go! Does anyone have any recommendation for Work-and-Travel in Alaska? Count me in! :D

One more day in KL. Let's see what I can do! Buhbyee!
