Wool/ copper wedding anniversary

Dear Hubby,


Happy 7th wedding anniversary!! The traditional gift of 7th year is wool or copper, but I can send you a wool felt doll I made if you like.


You are always my best buddy, my most generous sponsor, my best enemy and my most perfect teammate! I love you!

Moon beam

I took this picture with the help from Jeff.  The moon is most beautiful during Autumn.

A lovely morning with a facial treatment

One of the best things being a freelancer is you can have a facial treatment during weekday morning.


My appointment was on 10:00am, but my 'beauty consultant' was stuck in a broken bus and should have to be late for 15 minutes.  Once I arrived the floor, I found a new Dymocks was open next to the cosmetic shop.


I was seemed haunted and walked straight into Dymocks without a second thought.  I hanged a little smile when I got in.


The scent from the store, should be the books was extremely divine, it soothed my nerves.  I could not believe I felt happier in a bookstore than in a boutique.  I love my kindle, but I just could not resist the sensation of real books, I bought two books.  One is "Have a Little Faith" by Mitch Albom, and another one is, "What French Women Know, About Love, Sex and Other Matters of Heart and Mind" by Debra Ollivier,  When the shop lady passed me the books inside a little red Dymocks shopping bag, I felt extremely content!!!

My 'beauty consultant' said my skin condition was extremely good, and wondered if I had facial treatments somewhere else (since I visited her less than once a month).  I smiled, and told her I had DIY masks which are made by edible ingredients, such as avocado and yogurt.


Wow, it seems natural masks do work on my skin!! =)

Fierce baby beasts

I bought 2 baby marble-colored baby girl hamsters last weekend.  They look extremely adorable, but their 'hamsterailties' are not.


I had been bitten by the bigger one early this week when I tried to grab her out.  Then when I wanted to bathe the smaller one this morning, she bit me also, and I swung her accidentally under the cabinet.  My helper should help me to get her out.


Um... they are just babies, what will happen if they grow older?


Should get some information about how to train a hamster.

Mid Autumn Festival

Dad in law is still in the hospital, we would celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival with him in the hospital.


I get too used to family events, I just take it for granted sometimes.  However, now I know having a family gathering is very blissful and precious.  It sounds so cliche, but this is really what I feel right now.


Dad in law, get well soon.  We will go yum cha with you very soon~

Cupcake mania


After playing the cupcake game in iPad, Linus kept asking me to bake cupcakes for him.  I had made a dozen of mini nut cakes with butter cream frosting and lovely sprinkles.  Linus ate two cakes, but only the frosting and sprinkles.  Lucas ate six.  He wolfed down two before I added the topping, another two with the topping, and one of the two I preserved for daddy.

They are the key customers of my bakery business.  How can I be lazy?

Cream of tartar!!!!!!!!!!!!!



跟網上一個recipe做了一個班蘭蛋糕, recipe說要加塔塔粉(cream of tartar). 焗出來的蛋糕很漂亮, 怎知吃起來超級酸, 原來cream of tartar是酸的! 不是檸檬的酸, chemical的酸(我聯想到實驗室), 我試了一口塔塔粉, 立刻想吐!
教訓: 1. 儘信recipe不如無recipe! 2. recipe跟男人一樣, 尤其是online結識的, 好多是不可靠!
好嬲!
