1. ~~SHERYL~~ SOMEONE *coughs* UNABASHEDLY SAID I'M AWESOME!

2. Is it too late to come up with a christmas wishlist now?

'Cause I just saw these:

You're damn right they're awesome heehee.
These cookie cutters freakin' blew my mind 'cause they're cookie cutters that already have cut-outs at the base, so when you bake them cookies, the cookies also have cut-outs at the base, and voila! You get to perch the cookies on the edge of your cup :{>
So clever!

And they're called "Cup Adorning Cookie Cutters"! I love the name, it makes the cookies you're gonna cut out with the cookie cutters sound so pretty already! (sorry for overload of exclamation marks)

And then I saw these:

Tiny Gingerbread houses that can perch on the edge of your cup!
And these, you can actually make them from Not Martha's recipe and instructions for assembling the house. I'm dying to try to make these using chocolate chip cookies, but I'm not sure the houses will hold.

Plus, NotMartha reads GeekDad too (just saying) and her Leprachaun Trap of a cake is just so cute, I wonder how they bear to eat it.

Anyway, I think the thing that's been bugging me the most, is this

SUPER EPIC RAINBOW CAKE from Whisk Kid (no, she's not a kid)

That's crying to be made. Unfortunately, the amount of colouring and butter is putting me off the cake. So, *takes a deep breath* DOES ANYBUDDY WANT TO HAVE A BAKING PARTY AT THEIR HOUSE? I just want to make the cake, and eat it (a slice of it lah), I promise I'll help to wash up and bake, I just need to see how epic it turns out. PLEASE? kthxbye.

Ok, now that's out of the way, ummm well you see, when I bake, I actually cut down the amount of sugar and maybe even butter, as called for in the recipe. So things are pretty agar-agar around, what I absolutely can't stand, are recipes that call for shortening or food colouring. I've been brought up to believe that food colouring is supposed to lead to a whole pantheon of great diseases that will plague me later on in life, cue heart disease, cancer, coloured tongues, the whole she-bang. So I steadfastly refuse to cook anything I think will kill me, eventually, or kill the rest of my family for that matter.

BUT, if you're willing to take a chance on the food colouring, (read: WHAT THE SHIT. FOOD COLOURING WILL NOT KILL YOU) and not freak out like I will, or my mum (the rest of my family don't really care, and my dad's not supposed to eat sweet things anyway) LET'S HAVE A BAKING PARTY AT YOUR HOUSE! WHOOTS :D

So, changing the topic now, MY ELDEST SISTER SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO COME HOME.

Not that it's absolutely devastating or whatever, since I can imagine why anyone who's currently travelling around Europe and spent Christmas in Vatican City wouldn't want to come back to Singapore. BUT my family's been clearing up the place so that it won't look the same way it did when she left, and to welcome her (when she returns) and the new year. And if she stays on (not that she has a choice to stay on haha) then all my cleaning up would have been IN VAIN.

And then I'd be like zis ones

Mmm yeah.

But mainly because I'm planning to make Irish Cream Cupcakes to use up the ye-old-bottle-of-bailey's that's been sitting in the fridge for a pretty long time 'cause she's bringing back some more drink to plonk in the space Old-Bailey's is taking up, and then some more. And if I found I rushed to make those cupcakes in vain, then I'll be like Jake (see above adventure time pictures) all over again.

I love Adventure Time :3 They have all the expressions you could ever want in life. Including different variations of anger and rage.

*Side note, TODAY GAVE ME AN INVIGORATING ESTROGEN RUSH. Did you get one too? (: Omg it sounds so weird hahaha.

New Year's Resolution No. 1

2012-01-01T15:14:00.002+08:00

So I guess you're not supposed to make New Year Resolutions after the new year, but ehh, I guess I just don't roll the other way (making resolutions before the new year).

Sometimes I wished I'd never heard What Are You Doing New Year's Eve (as sung by Zooey Deschanel & JGL, which I blogged earlier about) because I can't stop singing it and playing it, I made myself learn it yesterday so I could play it before the new year, but now it's the new year and I still can't stop playing it. ): it's so jazzy ahhh I love it.

Anyway, to get on with it, I've made a New Year Resolution!
Sure it's temporary, until I get tired of it, but it's a start. *drumrolllllll*

I've decided to learn how to play A SONG ABOUT ACNE by Charlie McDowell

Mainly because Christmas, Dong, and New Year Celebrations have left me stuffed, and provided ample opportunity for pimples to sprout.

So yeah, how apt.

strikeout daydreams
