I LIKE TO STIR MY CAULDRON.

during group introductions, meeting new people and stuff, i tend to think i appear like a brainless shoppaholic (a.k.a bimbo). there's a tendency for the introduction to go,"hi i'm shandy. i like to go out and chill with friends at coffee places and shop. and shop. and shop".

yea okay don't rub it in. i know how superficial i sound. but it's true that i like doing such stuffs. i like buying clothes and shoes and bags and accessories and other stuffs that on hindsight i realise i don't need. i like curling up in a corner of starbucks, sipping hot mocha, catching up with friends on their stories i missed out when i was busy diving in a sea of notes and textbooks.

recently i found something i could add on to the list of things i like to do. or what other people call 'hobby'. i kinda enjoy... baking. well it's not like i've never baked for the past 20 years of my life and suddenly realised i like blasting the electric mixer on full speed with cake batter splattering all over. but recently, it has almost become an obsession. which is... not the best thing. cos y'know, textbooks are constantly calling out my name, tugging at conscience yearning for my undivided attention.

but baking is just so so so attractive. i like how there's an almost fixed set of rules to adhere to in every recipe yet little changes here and there can make it how you like your cake or cookie best. recently very into cupcakes cos i realised most pretty cupcakes (and i mean really, really pretty and adorable, so colourful you think it's play-doh) might not taste as good as they look, especially those that scream 'i'm a cup-ful of diabetes!' in your face. now all you need is reduced sugar, quality cakes (in cup form) topped with icing of your choice. and the combinations of cake and icing is a whole new study on its own! how certain cakes just go THE BEST with particular icings, say, carrot cake and orange cream cheese icing. the bombzz, i say :)

unfortunately the next time i'll get a chance to bake (with my conscience at peace) is after CA2.

okay okay shandy's asking me to go mug. damn i hate her.

sigh i think i'm schizphrenic.
