Reasons why I haven't been blogging lately.
And most of them are related directly and indirectly to Chinese New Year. :O
1. Cookies (one of the many preparations for CNY)
Yes, I do bake, but I bake once in a blue moon, because the oven I am using is so tiny (can only fit one square baking tray)!!
Plus baking involves butter and then resulting in oily fingers and hands! :S
I baked only Almond Cookies and the whole process was like from 3.00pm until around 7.00pm! Slow much? The recipe was doubled while the oven was the same old tiny oven.
IT WAS ONE TRAY AT A TIME AND ONE TRAY IS ENOUGH FOR AROUND 30 COOKIES ONLY!!!
There was a batch of burnt cookies because I was playing with my dogs and had forgotten to look at the time... -______-
My maids were busy so I did everything (except the cleaning up) all by myself! Dedicated I am. ;)
Butter plus icing sugar!
Swirl butter, swirl! ;)
Why can't the shapes of these cookies stay unchanged even after they are baked??
Weird........ :O
Baking the cookies in the oven.
As you can see there is only ONE tray in the oven.
Some of the prettier cookies. :D :D :D
I don't really like these cookies so I don't think that they are yummy or whatsoever. I baked them because they are the easiest to bake. Ha-ha.
I am a big fat loyal momo fan! I love love love love love and can't resist momos! The way they melt in your mouth is oh-so wonderful!
2. That dreadful thing called - Homework! FML.
I keep a list of my homework and so far I've finished my Add Maths. I still have my Maths and my other stuff to be completed. :(
I planned to finish all of them by tonight but I'm no natural multitasker. Oh wells, I am going to procrastinate again....
Hopefully I can complete some tonight.
3. Last minute shopping.
Yeah, yeah, I KNOW it's not good doing things last minute, but who cares? Haha.
Did some last minute shopping, for accessories! :) Got some really good deals for bangles somewhere and so I got some. Nyehehehehehe.....
Look at my colorful collection! :D
Apart from that, I collected cookies from bakeries, did a little grocery shopping and yada yada yada.... No point elaborating on that.
4. Bathing FOUR of my dogs
They normally bathe on Sundays and since tomorrow, the first day of CNY, is a Sunday, they have to bathe today. AND since my maids are busy washing stuff and cooking for the reunion dinner, I was the one in charge of the dogs. No photos of me bathing the dogs so here are some photos of the before and after photos. :)
Love the blurred background. :)
Thunder looks so fierce with his chain-like collar but he is actually very gentle. :)
He won't hurt you, I think. :S
This was after I bathed him.... Spot the jelly-like hair? His trademark I tell you!
He gets jelly-like hair when he is wet. Haha.
All my efforts wasted! He did this right after he bathed.
==
Being happy about it. :O
Pluto doesn't like to take his bathe because he was struggling ever so oftenly while I was giving him a bath.
Cuteness!
5. Getting myself ready for tomorrow!
In order to look good during CNY, I must paint my nails. It was hard for me to choose colours that match my short nails. Haha. Yes I cut my nails a few days ago because they cracked. Tough luck I had there. I changed the colours from red to pink to purple and to dark purple for my fingernails. Everything took me around one hour because either the colours didn't match or I smudged them while doing something else.
So many colours to choose from I don't even know where to start! :(
Love the pink carpet. HAHA!
Removing the pink and purple colour because there were not what I expected them to be.
This is good good stuff for my hair!
All hail hair masks. Wooooooo! :D :D :D
Pampered my dry hair with that fragrant hair mask and now I have lovely hair for CNY. Should I curl my hair using the iron curler tomorrow? Never did have the chance guts to use it because not only it damages my hair, it is also scary! People get burns from using iron curler you know.
6. Chores and spring cleaning
GAH. I hate cleaning and throwing stuff away. My room's a mess and after I spring cleaned everything, it still looks about the same. T___T What the heck!!
Lastly,
Happy Chinese New Year!!!
:P
