5 mins of fame!!

I'm famous! Well, sort of... in a way.

Last year, Susan and Gabes got us (BF & me) birthday cupcakes which were lovely and oh-so-purty that we couldn't bear to eat them. (But we did anyway cos we are such pigs, right?)

Today, nearly a year later Susan gives me the website contact and I see a picture of our cupcakes there! And a small mention about me being young... *Swoons*

Oh my gosh! I'm famous!!!

P.S. Please order your cupcakes from her. She is so creative and she did such a wonderful job for us!

P.P.S Oh yeah, small mention of the Boyfriend being young as well.

An odd discovery

I think that perhaps I'm not that allergic to work after all. For some strange reason, I got in to work today and after consulting my To Do List, I actually got down to some tasks. Yes, I did them for the sake of striking them off the list but still I did manage to clear some things. It helped that my boss was away and there was no one to hound me or ask me silly, annoying questions.

It is disturbing to realise that I actually don't hate work, I merely dislike doing it for someone whom I don't think appreciates me.

Unfortunately, it was 6.30pm all too soon and when the aircon goes off, so do 80% of my colleagues, hence I lost the motivation to continue. Anyway I shall endeavour to do the same tomorrow. It doesn't matter why I'm doing it, as long as I get it done, right? Makes the leaving later on easier.

Any-hoos, I've got a few minutes before I leave to meet the Boyfriend. Sigh, I have a craving for Vietnamese cuisine today. Looking at the pictures on Hungrygowhere has left me drooling for grilled pork chop with rice and sweet chilli sauce. Yum yum... and am very hungry, to point of starvation soon cos I didn't have lunch today.

No, I'm not that industrious, it's just that I'm wearing a clingy dress and I didn't want my tummy to bulge out. Tsk.

A much better Tuesday

The Boyfriend and I went to Les Bouchons for dinner last night and it was every bit as good as the recommendations made it out to be. Steak was oh-so tender and juicy and only a faction of what you'd pay at Lawrys. Total bill was just over $120 for two, with wine and appetiser. Very very good, we will be back again soon. Kudos to Henry for discovering this place and spreading the word!

Office is quiet today; everyone is off-site for the day. My favourite kind of afternoon - with my bedroom slippers on under my desk so no one can see, a steaming cuppa and the world wide web at my disposal.

On a separate note, I have recently discovered sweet-oh-so-sweet joy in a wrapper at my local 7-11. You know how much I hate cream; fresh, whipped, stale, butter, any sort of cream. The taste of cream makes me feel sick, unless its ice-cream or full cream milk. So when I spotted Sunshine's Chocolate Cream Roll, I wasn't very tempted but it was the only confectionary which could fit into my handbag and I was eating on the run.

But oh was I so wrong! This unassuming piece of bread, in a frankly unattractive brown wrapper is like manna from heavens. It's a soft hot dog bun with icing sugar chocolate filling so you dont really get the sickening cream taste as much as you just crunch through your mouthful of bread and chocolate icing sugar crystals. I'm gushing, I know. But I love it! Best part is, no trans fat!! But I'm still not taking any chances so I'm skipping my lunch just to have a roll a day. Yum yum.
