“Dear Sky, please try not to rain too often between 3.30pm to 4.30pm so that my picture will turn out brighter and less grainy. i would prefer not to involve the tripod as taking a break is meant to be relaxing, not working. Thank you.”
Butter cupcakes with raisins, almonds, pecan nuts and walnuts, coffee
We baked 30 cupcakes yesterday! They turned out quite ugly* but luckily very yummy (even better than the last time). i have already thought of a fun idea to decorate for the next round, can’t wait to bake again!
*One can’t have high expectation with a 2-yr old who was in charge of helping to place the nuts, but at least everyone had great fun :-)
Current reads: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Finally, back to my regular reading, there’s lots to catch up. i loved the previous book, The Kite Runner, by the same author, crossing my fingers that this will be as good or even better!
i didn’t realise the picture proportion was set to 3:2 instead of the usual 16:9 i used. i kind of quite like it now, maybe will frame in different proportion in future.
Toast with peach conserve, nutty bar chocolate, coffee
One of the work files that i was working on over the weekend was damaged when the system was forced to restart suddenly. Failing to recover the file after trying for two hours late last night, i sent an apology email to the client for not able to meet the deadline. i went to bed with the problem bugging me and ended up with a bad dream – i had ran into the client and was deeply embarrassed upon seeing her... Luckily the client replied my email first thing in the morning and was cool about it. Phew!
