Today was trying. Tried to bake cupcakes today for tmr's new year's eve celebration but boy is it tough! We actually started from scratch and hell it tastes not bad but the texture is just funny! like it's not very cooked like that.
We were very successful with the icing but damn failure with the actual cupcake. At first our icing turned a very gross colour cuz we put in too much colouring but we learnt how to dab abit in so it become like pastel pink like. Quite pretty=)
First time we tried to mix the ingredients it turned out funny and clumpy with bits of non melted butter inside. that was because obviously, the butter was not melted. Apparently i think it was supposed to be soft butter. After baking it it erupted like a volcano. Erupted like oil. Very gross and deformed and gross. So we tried again (after row left) by microwaving the butter first so it became totally oil like and then we poured it into the mixture. But we're still not sure whether it's supposed to be oil like. Tmr I will try making it just soft enough for us to mush it in.
I really hope it'll be more of a success tmr! =) If not everyone is gna think we're incompetent and i'd just hafta dumbly agree.
Anyway the other day I was at Angela's house and there was like this funfair thing organised by her condo and they had this very appealing ride, it's some inflatable hamster ball thingy except that it isn't for hamsters but humans!! So you were just supposed to get in the ball while the guy inflates it and then you're free to roll and float around the pool! sounds cool eh?=) They allowed up to 2 ppl in one ball so Reg and Claire squeezed into one while Ange and I packed ourselves into one. Wrong move I know but i really wanted to fart in it since Ange was warning me not to. I wanted her to suffer. You could literally suffocate in that thing cuz it's like air tight since they won't want the ball to lao hong and like they can't let the water get in. So we were only allowed like abit more than 5 mins in it prolly or like to the end and back. Here are some photos! Watch our unglamness.
We had to crawl in first through this zipper at the side when the ball was totally deflated. VERY HARD. Like getting yourself caught in clear wrap.I kinda got stuck and i'm starting to think it might have been it very funny view. They inflated it as soon as i managed to get in. This picture was taken when it was in the middle of inflation so it looks abit lao hong.
Inflator man pushing us from the platform into the pool. This was about the only fun part. And where I broke one of my purple bangles=( 
We couldn't steer ourselves properly after that. Apparently you're supposed to stand up and run like a hamster but whenever I stood up, Ange would roll and i would roll vice versa so it was just impossible to get anywhere. We had to pathetically ask some kid to push us to that corner so that Aunty Daisy could take a photo for us. Haha.
Couple of photos of us pathetically steering and moving the thing. Okayy la but looks like we were having some fun. And also running a little low on oxygen.

We look like we're exploring stuff and have seen something exciting! lols
"Wow look! Did you see that? I saw a mermaid!!"
"There it is again! Popping it's mermaidy tail out of the water!"
"Oh it's a nothing because we're in a condo swimming pool.
And that was my favourite photo of all though it's the ugliest. We look very happy in the ball. =)
