Thought of the day: Love is in the air

Ha ha… I am being bias today though… I had nice little time with Mr. D on the other day. But yesterday, a cute guy from the gym asked for my phone number. He is my friend's friend (so not just random guy). We went out had gellato after exercise >_< hohoho…

Merry Friday!

I slept in this morning and late for work… It feels a lot like weekend >_< work are slowww

Finally, I enjoy my solitude

There's a big smile on my face. I have never felt this for awhile… that I could just stay still, relax and my mind at peace. I don't feel lonely… I don't have that anxious feeling anymore.

I realised that I may be have been running away… running away from my emotional mind. I kept dissapointment to just sink in through my busyness… dancing all night, exercise, running around, doing hundred things… 'i just don't think about it…' Some problem fixed by them selves — Don't you agree?? But some problems seem just pilling up. And I don't realised that until recently.

So I figured it out what it was… and I am braved enough to let it go… (yes, for once again)

Today, I am just happy where I am… savoured my freedom and solitude :)

I have this strong feeling of connections between my family and my friends. Even though, they are not physically near me but they are in my heart and in my mind — is this what they called spiritual connections?? Or maybe this happened because of Mr. D existence… He is my sweet little hope. His foolness act towards his own feelings reminded of old self, that I yearn so much… I really wish I could have such emotion once more. He smitten me a bit.

I made fun of him the other day, when he looked at me seriously that he is about to burst into something else. He confessed his love to me, which I think it’s so much ala twilight :P it made me laugh so hard… I think I am dating a boy -_-"

Am I falling for him?

Thought of the day: to be happy

My mind is emotionally cluttered… ( I know, what I said even doesn't make any sense) At least, I need to believe on my self to be happy, and I shall be :)

Focus on happy, focus on happy, focus on happy. These beautifully imperfect concentric circles make clear what you should be worried about - Happy! Focus on happy is sized to fit nicely on your wrist area to so that it serves as a quickie, friendly reminder of what's important.

I need to have this temporary tattoo like a smoking patch. Get it from Tattly.

Happy Baking: Black forrest cake

Looks good from the top, isn't? bit messy from a side :P I followed the recipe from Food Safari. It's more a traditional version. Do you know that Black Forrest Cake came from Germany. They would have the cakes with black coffee and yes, they pour in lots of kirsch (cherry brandy) into the cakes. The cake it self isn't soft sponge cakes. It's bit more solid like mud cake because you need it not to be soggy when you pour in the kirsch. It has layers of cake, cherry jam, whip cream, cake, chocolate mousse, cake, chocolate ganache and chocolate shavings which is the forrest^^

This is probably the most intensive labour cake that I've made so far. Took me a week to create this cake!!! Just because of my lacking of patisserie skills. I never knew that someone can fail making a whip cream!!! which I did, I whipped them too long and the cream was not cold anymore… so it turned into butter T_T I also thought making chocolate shavings is easy… I saw it once when Jamie Oliver did it… I followed his advice, but ermm… it doesn't work T_T Anyway, there's more drama involved in making this cake, but i think it's too embarrassing to tell.

Overall, it has been fun making the cakes — like making Kirsch cocktails at 9am in Saturday Morning ;)
