This morning before my alarm went off, I thought I heard a tingling sound from my phone. Or perhaps it was my imagination, I thought. I told myself: It's weekend and you don't have to work, calm down and go back to sleep.
Okay, there was a tingling sound from my phone at about 8.30am, it was an sms from LadyNina:
"Mornin' babe. TD asked me to bring u to rpm today @ curve. :D"
My reply at 9.30am was:
"Hi hi... I jus woke up. Tdy?! Cant la. Need to help paint my aunt's new hse. U hav fun rpm-ing!"
Well, that reminded me, I did have to get up and quickly give my baby a bath so I could be over to my aunt's to help out. Sorry TD! Don't think I can make it to RPM quite soon. Next Sunday would most probably have tea to catch up with the gals (hopefully!). And LadyN, I sure look forward to an RPM session with you soon!
I wasn't sure how long I'd helped with the painting. Didn't feel like long. Actually, there were enough hands on the job - My uncle has always been painting their own house and he's very swift and is an expert. Together with auntie, the pair of children plus the boy's girl-friend, I almost felt like I was fighting for the painting brush. So, lets be useful and go get lunch. Besides, BIL was there also as a really big help.
MC and I went out to ta-pao for everyone. After lunch, I went over to make sure my "service" was not required, then came back to shower and prepare for baking.
Wanted to bake something chocolate-base, hence the sticky chocolate brownies. Based on the ingredients, the brownie should not yield a big serving, so chose another item to bake. Picked up the tea-time cake and biscuit recipe book (last year's birthday present from Shen), and decided to bake this butter-base cake with raisins. Raisin is my auntie's favorite, so it can't really go wrong right?
Everything was baked just in time for dinner. It was great having such a big crowd for dinner once a while. Everyone was so hungry after a day's hard work. MC who was already suffering from the muscle ache from Saturday pump is now really tired. Besides, she needs to leave for Amsterdam tomorrow, 12 hours flight. Geezz... I feel tired by just imagining all her travelling. Hope time will fly during the next one week and she will be back in no time.
Had dessert in the living room while everyone unwind and relax. Everyone loves today's bake and I'm a very happy baker. :)
