Santa Clause is coming to town

December is finally here. I have never been so relaxed in the month of December since I started working 6/7 years ago.

Snapped some photos of the Christmas decor in The Cathay.

Special lamp shades.

Notice the animals of the lamp shade.

Marina at Keppel Bay

Went Marina at Keppel Bay for brunch.

Worn my Radiomir

Nice view.

We selected TCC to have our brunch. There was no customer when we went around 11 am.

I ordered Shroom 'n' Cheese Sandwich (SGD13). Waited quite long for this. It was huge and I cannot finish it.

Hubby's Garlic Chicken Spaghetti (SGD16).

Sunset

Joined my hubby for dinner after my facial appointment.

Mr Sun was knocking off work soon....

Car was moving fast as such the images captured were not sharp enough.

Mr Cloud is happy today

I can feel that Mr Cloud is in good mood today. See how happy he is.....

Thick clouds ahead of us.

Space near my brother's housing estate.

New Recipe ~ Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

Wanted to experiment new recipe. Hubby flipped through the cook book and he picked this.

All right, this is my first time trying cupcakes with icing. Looking forward to the end products.

The mixture can make abt 20 cupcakes although the cook book mentioned it is for 18 cupcakes.

After 10 mins......

After 20 mins......

Dressed with icing.

Knew that the icing will be very sweet as such I cut down the amount of icing sugar. It was wastful as I only used up abt 2/3 of the icing. I will be mindful in my next trial.

Decorated with chopped Oreo cookies.

Hmm.... not too bad for the first trial. =)

I packed about 13 cupcakes for mother. Brother & sis-in-law love it. Parents said the icing was too sweet and they had removed most of it from the cupcakes.

Verdicts: The icing is still too sweet. The cake itself is soft.

Thinking to apply just a thin layer of icing and decorated with more finely chopped oreo cookies in my next trial.

Rubbish

Notice the rubbish on the floor! It was so dirty. Saw this scene when we went to a coffe shop for spaghetti. Pity the cleanner who has to clear up the mess.
