but i’m still receiving work emails and instructions. -_-”
————————————————-
my place is 80% done up. I like my little cosy hideout!
before makeover:
after spending a month’s pay:
(taken on the day I moved in, pardon for the messy bed!)
the decals were done by the previous tenants…
I see Betty Boop when I shower.
my lovely IKEA kitchen.
It’s really a headache to cook for just one share.
My 1st attempt in soups:
Ribs + Corn + Carrot + Melon. =)

it is not an uncommon sight to find expired products in my house. especially when we love to buy this and that, chucking them in the cupboards and long forgotten about it.
my mom was tidying up the kitchen and threw away a full bag of goodies. I didn’t know there’s an expiry date for olive oil. I mean, oil actually expires? haha.
we noticed several items nearing their datelines and one of it was the cake mixture that I bought in Paris.
Petits Moelleux au coeur fondant:
It wasn’t in its nice box packaging as I took out the contents and cut out the instructions to save on luggage space. Thankfully the expiry date was printed on the silver foil.
It’s an extremely easy recipe. I managed to make some sense out of the French instructions. Just mix the milk into the cake mixture and send it off to the oven!
After 15 minutes, out came the lovely chocolate moist cupcakes and the rich robust chocolate smell filled the house.
It is not as moist since I overbaked it. But it’s still super yummy! The chocolate taste great, comparable to the ones served at patisseries.
This is the 1st cake mixture pack that didn’t fail me. I was never successful with the cake/cookie mixtures I get in NTUC.
I can see that this will make great desserts for Christmas! 
Now, i should go to the supermarket and get a tub of vanilla ice-cream!
