When cupcakes are more "serious"

Have been making really cute cupcakes, I'd to say. These would be the more "adult" version.

Chocolate coated coffee beans for MFG. Drizzled with dark chocolate sauce.

Marshmallows drizzled with dark chocolate sauce.

Can't wait...

Congratulations to the soon to be Mummy.



Thanks Lady Nina for placing the order with TTB. This is such an honour :)

Went all the way... for RPM

My gym schedule for today was rather "fluctuating"...

Started with my usual plan, combat at TC then skip pump since Carebear is still not back yet.

Changed to RPM at Axis cause I've rescheduled the delivery with Lady Nina and the plan that made most sense was gym at Axis while I'm at the delivery.

Later changed to SPK because the Lady had some prior engagement downtown. I'm quite alright with that, I will do cardio.

Then changed back to Axis because the forgetful Lady (so I quote her!) said wrong day. Alright! Axis better actually, no need to go through traffic jam at rush hour.

I was quite sure I had to change RPM to cardio at Axis because I started a discussion with boss at 6.00pm. Humph... But I still planned to workout. M U S T workout today!

But hey! I left office at 6.40pm and the traffic was great! Not congested at all and I reached Axis slightly after 7.15pm. When I reached the reception for registration of RPM, there were only like what, 3 names on it.

That's when I changed my mind on RPM. I want to join BS instead! Because I saw Little Bro's name on the registration form for BS. With much regret, I told Lady Nina I hope she didn't mind if I "ditch" her for BS. (But, I brought up a wrong shoes).

When I was waiting for BS, Little Bro came over looking a bit pale, and true enough, he told me he had food poisoning, AND he was not teaching that BS slot.

Ahhh... changed back to RPM (and still wrong shoes, what was I thinking when I took that pair up with me?!).

Okay, one good thing was there was still available bike. Had to register in order to take the "cards" cannot just simply join that class.

So... after went through many many change of plans. RPM it was. And I nearly died. At track 1, I think I was really feeling the fatigue on my thighs already. Track 2, I NEED 100plus! Track 3 onwards I wish I was at the cardio machine instead. Track 6, warghhh... I thought Track 5 was the last track (yeah, wish hard humph...). Then, my toes started to hurt because I brought the wrong shoes remember? This particular pair is half size smaller - I bought it because it was on really good sale and half size wasn't a bit problem - so when too much impact due to the spinning movements, the toes got kind of squashed. I wish the class ended then.

Luckily I got some cheering from Lady Nina. (Go! Gooo!!) Otherwise I think I might just pretend that I fainted and dropped off the bike to save my legs from detaching from my body.

And I was so proud of myself for finishing the class and leaving behind a large pool of sweat (yucksss!!). RPM was never easy. I also nearly died the last time I joined TD's class :p.

Sunday Insomnia Continues...

Just when I thought I've recovered from my Sunday insomnia, or rather, just when I thought I've found out the reason for having insomnia, and solve it. I still had insomnia last night. That was despite having eye bag the size of an egg and feeling very tired.

So today I look like a zombie and even my boss said I looked tired when he saw me at the lift landing just now. I cannot concentrate and I'm not able to hold onto my thoughts. I looked at things and I will feel that I go crossed eyed, preparing to doze off...

I need help!

Where are you Lady Nina??

Where is the Lady N??

I feel very bad. I'm running behind schedule because I came back an hour later due to some extra time discussion with my boss. Baking a cake now for tomorrow's dinner gathering. Preparing the jam for my pineapple tart. The cake will take another hour to bake, the jam... argh... will take more than an hour. AND IT'S 11.00pm!!!

Mum arranged a chanting session on Sunday evening with my aunt and family. Yeah, I had to lead, and I need to practise with my cousin tomorrow.

So, to Lady N: I really have to do some "rescheduling" with you if possible.

And I really do feel very bad for changing the plan.

Now... I remember what I've forgotten. I need to prepare for MC chocolate chip cookie mix and cornflakes cookies mix.

Finally, I'm away from 19 - 23 September. I have a 3 item delivery on Friday (26 September) - MC you will help me ya!!

simply one of my favorite dinners

Was at dinner with my ex-boss. I always like catching up with him, he had been my best mentor, now very good friend, very generous so always my dinner sponsor, good listener so I can tell him almost everything (in case he is reading, must throw in more compliments heh), he's a person who can give me many points of views and for me, getting a guy's point of view is very refreshing.

And I was actually surprised that he's also into Facebook-ing. Thought he wouldn't bother with such application. Haha... So I've just added him in Facebook and gave him my blog address. I wonder if he'd started (or had given up) reading my blog yet. So since the conversation topic was about blog, I was wondering out loud what nickname I should be giving him in here. I thought of either calling him J, or Triple A (TA).

I think TA would be more unique since a lot of people would fit into a nickname of "J". So, our favorite dinner topics would of course be catching up and comparing notes on ex-company stories, my work, his work, and my romance which currently is at the MFG Episode. You know what, one of TA's advice is to step back, away from MFG a little. Yeah, I don't want to start pressuring him, do I?

So many things to talk about when it comes to MFG, but perhaps doing food review here is less depressing:

Fresh bread with tomato salsa and balsamic vinegar.

Cream of clam chowder. SO delicious.

My main course. Smoked chicken, peas and cream. Okay, what's with my overly creamy menu. I love creamy stuff, but would always regret doing so, vow that I will never order such items in the future, but ended up ordering similar items.

Dinner completed with this ultimate chocolate dessert. I'm sure this would be what MFG would order if he was there. Three layer semi freddo - milk, white and dark. Simply yummy! MMS-ed MFG a picture of this then but no response. Spoke to MFG the next day and found out apparently he couldn't download MMS on his phone. Humph...

Stocking up butter?!

I was late for combat today! And KG already left gym, so didn't get to meet up with her, instead, I had Stan's company for class besides the regular Wookie. And of all days, today I brought a 2-piece top, on top of that, the inner piece is with 12 hooks and the top piece with 9 hooks, so I had spent more time changing. Humph...

Despite the fasting month, the class was actually very crowded, luckily I was able to squeeze in between Stan and Wookie, well, actually more of this other member. I hope I didn't mess up their spaces. I must have missed combat class for so long, some of the tracks were so unfamiliar to me.

Skipped pump to nurse my shoulder injury, and also since Carebear was not teaching. I came home quite early and mum immediately gave me a quiz. She told me Tesco is having offer price for butter, it's only at RM2.90 instead of the RM4.00 ish per piece. So she told me to guess how many pieces had she bought. My guess, just to exaggerate it a bit, was 10 pieces. Haha... and I was so wrong, you know how many she bought? 25 pieces!!! Geezzz... Okay people, you can order many many cakes okay, I have stocks. Haha... But I bet the butter will all be gone after my Raya baking.
