My First Red Velvet Cake

After reading all the reviews about red velvet cakes and their deliciousness, me decided that I need to try this cake.  But the kiam siap me was too stingy to buy a piece at exhorbitant price just to taste !

Then me decided to try baking this cake..

Presenting my not so 'red' velvet version...

The redness is from artificial colouring.  This is for own consumption, I only added 2 drops into the batter.

MEDICURE PEDICURE

I know the secret to a well manicured & pedicured nails for me!

Get them when I am on holiday, and definitely they would be as nice and good
as  I do not have to do anything except to go enjoy myself without a care in the world..

no washing, no cooking, just plain pampering myself and myself..

Snow White & The Huntsman

We watched ‘SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN’ today, the first day premiering on local screens.

This version is definitely not for those die-hard romantic people, where Snow White is expected to marry her prince and live happily every after!

Do not watch this movie, thinking of the Disney’s version, of soft feminine Snow White, whom speaks with a squeaky girlish voice, singing, cooing and cooking for the 7 dwarfs.  And being awoken by Prince Charming's kiss when she was in a coma after eating the rotten apple. 

Btw, it was also not the Prince whom wrested her throne from the Wicked Queen...neither was Snow White in coma for a 100 years!

I pity the Wicked Step Mother..like every mortal woman, there is this vain competition where she needs to be assured that she the most beautiful and fairest of them all so that she does not lost her throne.  Make me think of all the botox injections ladies subject themselves too just to keep their men at their side and not go chasing after the SYT..

Well, it was a worthy day to spend it with my jr on her school holidays.
