Pretty in pink and tagged

A fellow makcik blogger requested a set of cupcakes to be sent to her mum last Friday. I baked orange butter cupcakes and top the cakes with choc ganache and one cut off fondant flower each. The hubby drove the car as i looked for the road name from the address given in via the sms. The taman is quite near to my taman and in no time we found the house. Then my husband and the boys went for the Friday prayers while i sat in the car reading the newspaper . After the prayer, we were off to Lumut for the weekend. Now the world seems very small. Kay ordered via phone, give the details via sms, paid me online via M2U and next day i delivered the cakes to her mum.....so easy peasy and the transaction was completed.While cutting of the pink fondant flowers, my mind drifted to 1986 when i went to see Pretty in Pink with my housemate in Houston, Texas. And i was humming to one of the song which i like from the movie....anyone saw this movie and know the song??



And Wanshana tagged me after posting her takes on the makcik bloggers meeting ....and here we go....

1. People always have the impression that i was sombong, garang and quite when they first met me. But as many had discovered i was a total opposite but part garang tuh only when the situation warrants it he he.
2. Hubby and i started as a good friends. Only realised that we were meant for each other after a month long separation during one of the winter holidays....
3. He influenced my taste of musics....i listen to rock songs even now he he.....

5. Many people have mistaken me to a Chinese and according to my late dad, not an ounce of Chinese blood in me.....I do wish i had learned Mandarin though.
6. I do not eat what i bake. But i do taste to ensure its good.
7. If there was no internet, i think i might joint the work force again.
8. Never followed local reality programs, but i am a sucker for American Idol and Amazing Race. Love Ida Nerina in the Asia version of Amazing Race though i was never a fan of hers before.
9. I love all the CSI series and love Horatio Caine the most. The character amused me he he...especially at the starting of the show.
10. I would love to visit Kota Bharu soon as i went to primary school from standard 1 to 4 there dinosaur time ago. Really wonder how it is now.
11. I love playing sports especially table tennis and tennis, quite good at it at one time but now i got no sparring partner in Seremban....and i had doubled my size since i quit working.....
