Of roundness and thrones...

ROUND CAKE FINALLY~

Baked a round cake finally. For the first time in my life! The edges look a little distorted because I used baking paper and did not really bother to fit it snugly into the tin. But overall, it was one of my proudest moments. Hahaha. I finally made a round cake! Same butter cake recipe but I tweaked the icing and added a little spunk into it. I used the juice of a very old and wrinkled lemon, a packet of leftover icing sugar and butter. Just dolloped some butter into it. No measurements, nothing. Tasted good though. =) Ahh, the goodness of improvising.



The two pictures above is a little joke I made during lunch in Pyramid in T-Bowl. Chris ordered lamb something something. As the waiter served it, I casually just said, "Hey, the lamb seated on the throne.'' Get it? The lamb was served in a toilet bowl and well... No offence to christians. Ok, never mind. =) I found it funny though. I have been roaming around Pyramid quite a lot as I have been assigned the duty as a driver for my sister. A chauffeur.

And yes, Chris has finally started college. Actually she started for quite some time and is already on her CNY break. =D


Brought her to Woo Ga Chon,a little restaurant near Mentari Court. Food is fantastic while the price is quite reasonable. I mean, for that kind of service,quality of food and not to mention the free refills of the side dishes, it's worth the money!

Talking about quality of food and service, the other day. my sister and I went to a restaurant in Pyramid(I am refraining myself from mentioning the shop as I've just read in the newspaper that a restaurant owner is sueing this blogger for defamatory reasons against his restaurant.This blogger mentioned something about "staying away from it like a bad case of herpes" or something like that.) Well, all I can say is, for a big outlet with many branches, the service was terrible, quality of food even worse and the staff's faces were so long, they were literally sweeping the floor.I needed to raise my hand for more than a minute to get my drink refilled? I would understand completely if they were busy but the shop had only 4 customers at that time and most of the staff were loitering around looking a lot like dead zombies.

I swore to myself I would never go into that shop again! Grrr. Imagine, I even had to wait to pay the bill. My sister and I were standing at the counter for so long, and I was so close to walking out without paying had not my principles stopped my. Someone told me that peole with principles will not get rich. He meant that as a joke but I do find it true in some way.

I am back home! Fluffy so cute! SO CUTE!

That's all for now. I feel like I'm missing something but I can't seem to put my finger on it.
