21st march...

well... carol's 20th birthday is on the 23rd.. so there was a birthday celebration at shearn's place. a pool party.

so i was asked to bake a cake... okayyy.. can. haven't baked before but shouldn't be that hard... right? haha...
so on the sat morn, wake up and bake. i nearly made a big mistake... in the process, recipe said 2 ounces of sugar. so i took a jar and put 2 ounces of sugar. then 2 teaspoons of baking powder. then i took a jar and ... eh? didn't i take this jar just now? waitttt... i didddd... so if this is baking powder? what the? oh no... it is baking powder and its all mixed up with the flour already. oh crap.

okayy okayy... figure out a way to salvage. and i did. fortunately the baking powder was on one side so i scrape it all off including some flour so that i can restart again. refill the a bit of flour and this time 2 teaspoon. saved... phew.

my maid was wondering how come there's so little baking powder left. of course she laugh when i told her what happened.

the chocolate cake turn out well. and everyone loved it. but cannot order lah. i'm not a baker. i guess growing up always helping my mother bake cakes, biscuits and dunno what else, there's no fear of baking and also cause i've seen the process so many times. i was usually stirring cause its tough work... and licking the chocolate of the bowls.

unfortunately, many couldn't make it because it coincided with the Kids Band Camp. would be better if they could come. the party still went well. with the laminated birthday bookmarks in the pool for the birthday girl to collect and the good food and the few of us trying to make the human pyramid in the pool again.... oh... not to forget pushing the dry people into the pool.
