random pics I've got last month from the view of my room's side window..

(captured with new Canon SLR!)

the lighting is not right, i know. i need to improve my photography skill :p

The other day after after the butter cupcakes, i was planning to bake some banana walnut cupcakes. (because i really like to eat banana walnut cupcake!)

i uses a recipe found from the internet, and below is the outcome..tada!
.. mmm.. what i can say is, it tasted like one. but the cupcake's texture isn't that good.
anyway, it's ok because was just trying to do and to pass some time in the afternoon.


and ya, it's actually just BANANA CUPCAKE, without the WALNUT. because the recipe is actually quite stupid. i thought a banana walnut cupcake was suppose to blend in banana and chopped walnuts together in the flour mixture. but this one is: the cupcake is banana cupcake, but it calls a banana walnut cupcake is simply because the recipe stated:
"after you have done with all the steps, add the walnut on top of the cupcake" :S so dumb.

so i just do the BANANA WALNUT CUPCAKE WITHOUT the WALNUT!


but anyway, those cupcakes look not bad afterall.



hahaha..

are you a SHOPAHOLIC?
do you love everything which is in PINK?
do you BUY things that you like even though you don't need 'em?
credit card DECLINED?
spend MORE than u can afford to pay?


then u must really watch CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC




i watched this movie yesterday night, and really like it! instead of describing a shopaholic's character, a love story is also added in the movie.

there are many shopaholic around us. i used to be one of them. or should i say "i am" instead of "i used to"?.. no no.. i'm not. ok, i used to.

so here's some classic Rebecca Bloomwood's thoughts from the movie. and if u agree on those statements, then u r one(shopaholic) too!


"When i looked into shop windows, I saw another world.. A dreamy world full of perfect things."

"A store always smells good...
A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew u needed"

"I like shopping, .. is there anything so wrong with that?"

"The rush you feel when you swipe your card. And it's approved. And it all belongs to you!"

"The joy you feel when you've bought something, .. all you have to do is hand over a little card. Isn't that the best feeling in the world? And you feel so confident and alive!"

"Because when i shop, the world get better. And then it isn't anymore. And I need to do it again"


all in all then, its really nothing wrong to buy things that you like as long as you know the limit.
and guys.., you should really never feel dislike if your love one likes to shop, because, the shopping and buying genes are in us, and we are born to shop.. :)

Playing this Plants vs Zombies game recently. after finished the Adventure mode, Puzzles and Mini-games was unlocked.
this is the Last Stand in the mini games mode. was trying many time b4 won the trophy.
this was the strategy i used to complete 5 flags(levels) of Last Stand.
after every flag u won, will be awarded 250coins, keep it to buy onions or stars which has been eaten by the zombies.
i never use onions on my previous tries, until JS uses it and told me that it is useful because it leads zombies to other lane. so, when i have onions in every lane, so the zombies will ended up switching lane after they bitten on the onions, so, the pea shooters can attack them even more.

my first beautiful cupcakessss

Themed: Harmony


Js said the cupcakes decor look like kindergarten's kids drawing :(
but i personally think that the cupcakes looks not bad overall *ahem..
actually i should plan on what and how to decor b4 i even bake them, so can't blame on this last minute drawing.

after tastes the cupcakes that i'd made, we have the conclusion that they are too buttery and the top it kinda sweet..


taster: sis, js, me
