Thinking of someone...

Just how do you tell someone? In many situation, it's NOT possible to tell someone you miss him. Especially someone who doesn't know that it is possible for you to be thinking of him.

Yes, relationship has to be worked on and if you don't try you will never know. But, certain relationships are maybe best to be left where they are to avoid complications, contradictions and possible disappointments.

"The reason you are no longer feeling that chemistry between you and her is because you have feelings for someone else?"

"I wish I am... haha... but no"

Okay, so he doesn't have feeling towards anyone. No one, right?

Print Screen for Dummies

I've been really busy with the company's webpage updating lately - changing some text, adding more links etc. I also do Project, Excel, Power Point... Just want you to get the idea that I DO use the computer ALL the time and not just using it for blogging. But, earlier on today at office...

OK, it's not MY fault for not being able to find the "print screen" button okay when it's not EXACTLY "print screen" but "PrtSc". Haiyo... It's SO funny nontheless, I was really rather entertained by myself too.

The C.Bs and K.Bs

Here they are... I received these on Monday.

This was really what I wanted and kept reminding someone to get for me. I got this eventually, but not from the someone I hope to get it from, it's bought by someone else and brought back by someone.


But someone did give me smaller version of this. And I got another something specially for me from the mentioned someone, whereas the other office mates had to share. Because I'm special, so I was told. Really...


The one that surprised me most was actually this one.


The packaging alone was so sweet till I actually didn't mind getting an empty box.

I love the paw, reminds me of Carebear somehow, :p. LGM were you thinking of Carebear when you wrap this pressie? Hehe...

Went to gym for my present

First of all, before I start blabbering - THANK YOU LGM!!!

Got a message in my blog from LGM late today evening that she'll be present-ing me something. Yay! Though I did plan to go for pump, but the thought of a present gave me extra motivation. However, I didn't make it to gym earlier and was just about on time for BP, because it has been too busy at work. Since my boss just came back from his one week business trip today, I've spent more than half of my day in discussions with him for updates and new tasks. It didn't help with the bigboss deciding to choose today to give us some directions in work. And geezzz... just when I thought my bigboss has gotten so much more easier to work for, he'd got into a roller coaster mood swing today - and may I blame my (immediate) boss? He seemed to be the reason bigboss yelled most of the time. Sighsss... I cannot work when people start yelling. Seriously.

Anyways, back at gym, when I climbed the staircase to get to the changing room, I was greeted by a warm smile which belonged to a very holy-looking Carebear - Oh, she was standing just above the spotlight hence the "holy glow" - in her new sexy tank top. Heard she have had a great time at a good friend's wedding, which explained her cheery mood, with more laughter while she chitchat with her member-friends before class. Nevertheless, it didn't mean we don't get tortured in class when teacher's in good mood haha... well, actually, it was not THAT bad lah since I had a lot of energy reserved because I didn't workout before BP.

The class was filled up to the max, I thought my position was rather "dangerous" at times with the potential of getting hit by the bars of these two members beside me. Besides the regulars, some "special guests" were in the house tonight - some not-so-regular-but-was-there-for-a-reason-tonight-members plus the combat master making special appearance.

The tracks... These were the few tracks which I've done in three consecutive BP classes: warm-up track (don't know what name, but too many single biceps curls, had to cheat. On second thought, maybe I've only done this two times instead of three), chest track (Summer Rain - the bottom up and bottom halves can really kill) and abs (Shake Your Tail Feather - yay! I'm still loving this!). The back track was same with the one I did with Hobbes on Saturday, four clean and presses in a row was no joke, some more we did 2 sets of clean and presses before we got the short break. Felt like arms were about to detached from shoulder.

Meanwhile... it's actually time to sleep. I'll tell you about the koala bears tomorrow. Thank you god for answering my prayers - I got koala bears from three persons! And yeah, hehe... I think I've been koala-bear-ing too much in my last few blogs. :p

But... one of the koalas was not from who I'd wished it was from...

My comment awaiting moderation

I used to keep diary when I was little (whoopss... nearly typed dairy, I always have problems with those two words). I have those with little locks some more and those were little books which carried huge secrets. No one will be allowed to read my diary of course, and surprisingly, everyone (almost, at least all those around me) during that era (or even until now) understand and respect that diary entries are supposed to be secret and will not pry into.

Now with my blog writing, it gives me the feeling of writing diary. Only it's a shared diary and everyone is reading into my secrets. The difference might be that people who are reading my blog are strangers, or at least strangers to TTB. So much of me trying to keep a secret identity, some of my friends are mentioning my name in your comments, may I ask to delete those? I haven't enable the comment moderation function, just thought of keeping this as a "free-speech-area". I want my friends' comments to be published straight away, and others would be reading them even though I haven't got time to moderate. BUT, having said that, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE RUDE COMMENTS IN MY BLOG. Just got to remember - blogs, although are published, they are still personal opinions and feelings, so long as I don't mention your name in here and associate your name with rude and unreasonable comments, I feel that no one should simply leave comments that upset the author.

Okay... meanwhile, due to rather "strange" comments (wanted to use the other "S" word. But...) my comments in another blog is awaiting moderation.

Oh, I went to Hobbes' pump on Saturday and really enjoyed it so so much, I think we all got bored with the 3 weeks of same tracks. I was glad the abs track was Shake Your Tail Feather... I really need to work my abs, but I am bad with abs workout that requires holding up my legs for too long, my hip flexor is very weak and find it hard to maintain my legs in the air.

Due to a sufficient 9-hour sleep the night before, I found myself really energetic during the class, and was able to really work my muscle. I shall try to maintain enough amount of sleep... so perhaps I should go sleep now...

Have a good week ahead everyone! I hope I don't get sad news during the coming week, last week was really really very tiring.

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting


I finally made the carrot cake... Was supposed to make it last weekend but I didn't have cream cheese. Okay, not that I couldn't buy, but I didn't buy because the price tag said "RM10.29" at the section where the 250gm Philadelphia Cream Cheese was displayed, and I was not at Cold Storage, I was at Econsave - Shouldn't the price be cheaper? The last time I bought a block of this cream cheese, it was RM8.99 thereabout. But I found out yesterday when I got my cream cheese at Giant, that the RM10.29 price is standard. Gosshhh... inflation!

Anyways, I've made the carrot cake into cupcakes so I will be indulging myself during the next few days. Baking alone was already very indulging for me. Hee...

One thing about carrot cake is, if the carrot are grated too coarsely, when you eat the cake, you will feel like you are chewing vegetables instead of eating cake.



It was a recipe with walnuts only, but I've added raisins and chocolate chips too. The carrot cake from San Francisco Coffee was only with raisins, I thought walnuts suit carrot cake very well. Chocolate chips is just random decision, in case I'm offering these cakes to any chocoholic. Haha...


When you are using oil as an ingredient, make sure the cake mix is well mixed.




The cuppies turn out nicely in their dome shapes.


But for this particular batch, it's actually better to have them raised evenly and not exceeding the height of the paper cups. Because...


Unless I trim the top (what a waste of cake!), otherwise, the icing will not fully cover the cake.


As oppose to this... see, the icing can be spread evenly.


Decoration time - with coloured butter icing. You only need two piping bags.


Pipe out the "body" of the carrot, give it a bit of jagged effect...


When doing the leaves, give it a bit of pull outwards to achieve a more 3D effect.


Now, would you know what cake it is if I don't mention?


It's Martin's birthday next week, so since we were going over to his place for dim sum, gave him his early birthday present. Happy birthday darling, muahs...



And another box for my sister's friends visiting Malaysia. Hope they like them.



Had one as my dessert just now after dinner.




The cake is very dense, you wouldn't really be able to "detect" the carrots, yet, it's the typical carrot cake taste. Would you try one for me?

Oh no OH NO! Zip alert!

Okay, I realized when I arrived at office just now that a small part of the zip of my pants is "broken". The zip is fine, just that the thread of this small part had fall apart so the chances of a hole being seen is quite high.

Buy new pants during lunch time? Should I?

Oh no.... OH NO!
