Raya so far


and some of my Raya bakes


Selamat Hari Raya to everyone, enjoy the rest of Syawal!

i try to blog, i really do, but twitter makes it hard. let me break it down in numbers; in the 77 months that i've been yapping about something or another in this space, i have written (including this one) 774 blog entries. in the 7 months i've been on twitter, i've already tweeted 784 (and counting) tweets. so you do the math.
or not, cos i totally get the mathematics hate.

so what have y'all been up to? and by y'all i clearly mean the handful of (non commenting) people who read this. i've been watching random episodes of Seinfeld on sidereel and taking vitamin c tablets daily in a vain effort to not fall sick for a very, very long time. i don't want to jinx it but alhamdulillah i haven't had a headache since i started this vitC regimen almost 3 weeks ago and thats a huge deal because i'm pretty sure i came into this world with a splitting migraine.

some things i baked in August

cupcakes for my dada's 80th, brownies for buddies, cupcakes for kham's 23rd.

remember my Wall of Frame project? well it's a working progress.

thank you Daiso for $2 frames. now comes the hard part, choosing old photos for wall.

i shall divide the next paragraph into 2 "speaking of" sections.

speaking of old photos, i found my favourite family photo of all time.

i love love love the fact that the only mammal looking at the camera is the monkey.

speaking of Daiso, i love/hate it.

now that there's an outlet just a few minutes away, it's like, are you kidding me?
first Arnold's, now this? i will be a morbidly obese vagrant in a year.

explored Ion (eye-on/e-on) last week with the penguin.

+points for each a cup, yami yoghurt and artbox! like daiso and ikea, i spend way too much time at artbox. it's an unhealthy obsession, i know.

and since we've covered artbox and daiso, let me rant about ikea. a few months ago, i signed up for the Ikea Friends card and didn't think much about it until recently when i decided to check my points online. it was pretty snazzy, there was a profile page and everything! so i clicked on my profile and right there, under my name, was my race; Indian. lol que? i am (unfortunately) the most melayu looking person ever and besides...don't i have a malay name? the girl behind the counter who filled this out was also malay and my mom was right next to me so i really don't see why i'm an indian! i'm not offended or anything, just insanely curious as to how she assumed i'm indian when the last fully indian person in my family was both of my great-grandfathers haahaa.

to sum it up, this post was brought to you by my gnarly bedhead

and the letters L, A, Z & Y.
