Two parties and drawings
Life has been quite hard for me lately. Nothing seems to be going right and school is really wearing me down. This whole week was the darkest and most terrible that I have had in the 4+ years I've been away from home. But I just think to myself, just a few more months to go before I can leave and carve out my own path on my own terms.
I turned 24 in January. I'm a rabbit girl. :B
^ We decided to do things differently and bake my cake instead of buying it, since I always bake for other people's birthdays.
^ My friends came over and I supervised them making the cake. We iced it with a Philly cream cheese icing. NOMS.
^ Strawberry shortcake iced and ready to eat! I forgot to buy candles OTL.
^ Yongxian surprised me by baking me a choco banana cake on my actual birthday! (The party was held a day earlier before my housemate went home to Malaysia for CNY.)
I had about a week to recover before it was time for Chinese New Year! As usual, a big dinner at my place.
^ Hokkien mee! With chi yau cha and everything! You can see the dumplings we made in the background. Oranges and pineapple cocktail!
^ My super crumbly pineapple tarts. I suspect the egg glaze is what destroys their nice shape. T_T
^ It was well past midnight when everyone left. We had too much fun talking and eating.
^ I drew this in a card to starstray for CNY. I'm trying out some pseudo manga style that doesn't take 10 billion years to finish.
^ This picture describes the mood I've been in the whole week. >8(
I'm running out of my favourite moisturiser too and it's a Japanese brand so my only options are to buy it on eBay or something...
