Nerd mode on!



My book loot for 2014! 19 books for the price of RM 250! (well maybe extra RM 15) thanks to BB1M basically it's RM 15 for 19 books :p not bad.. 

Bought a lot of series this time round and finally found the series I've been looking for for a long time now: A series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket. Bought it for like RM 10/ book *gasp*

So, this is my stash:
- 5 x a series of unfortunate events
- 4 x daughters of the moon
- 3 x Divergent (trilogy) *heard its something like hunger games so I thought might as well give it a go.*
- 2 x Agatha Christie's mystery books *read quite a lot about her in fictional books so when I saw it, I thought why not give it a try*
- Good self, Bad self (self-help book)
- leading on a limp (another self-help book)
- Leap! ( yet another self-help book heheh)
- body language (always wanted to learn about this)
- Tuesdays with Morrie (read reviews that it is a good motivational book)
- the Family Way by Tony Parsons 

I've got way too much books to read now :D from my last year's stash from BB1M 2013 + books from the Big Bad Wolf Sale 2013. I don't have to touch my drama stash for a while now. Just stay in bed and read away! B)

Baking


Baking has taught me about patience + love. You really need to bake out of love and patience to produce these sweet decadents. Why baking has taught me patience? Well because baking requires a lot of attention to details, and in order for the final product to come out looking decent enough, well we need to have patience in decorating it. Doing the first 2 layers of deco is simple enough, but the whole cake? Well THAT takes patience. What about love? Yea you can't just bake something hastily, it's not gonna come out tasty nor decent looking, so if u wanna bake something nice, bake it out of love. Committing ur time and dedication to creating a final product that is perfect. One more thing that baking has taught me... Perseverance. I have still yet to master the skill of making macaroons! I've failed 3 times already! But I'm still gonna try to make it, til I get it right. Just you wait! I'm gonna dedicate a post just for my macaroons!
