Birthdays

Just found out this morning that I know of nearly a dozen people with birthdays next month. That's a crazy amount, by far now, March would be the month with the most birthdays. And I thought it was towards the end of the year, lol. 


In light of having purchased two cake books in HK last year, I have decided to bake cakes for birthdays this year, should the opportunity arise. Should be a fun experience :) I'll start posting photos too, of the baking experiences. Yay for baking, and a new electric mixer since the old one died of old age.

Fluffy toys, balloons, flowers and chocolate

That time of the year again. Never have made a big deal out of it and won't be doing so any time soon. However, it's the first time in 3 years where I'm not working. I kinda miss laughing or having a silent giggle at the people who order or come into the store looking for things to buy for their significant other ... the people who prepare in advance, the people who don't ... the people who make a big scene and a joke out of it and try to embarrass them, the people who try to do something sweet ... writing and reading the messages that husbands/bfs give to their wives/gfs and vice versa and having a good laugh at them with workmates, mostly because they were corny or sickeningly sweet ... seeing all the crazy names that people give each other .... lol ... seeing people's reactions when delivering the goods. But what I won't miss is the crazy busyness that arises on the day, seeing red and white and pink and hot pink for a whole day or three -_-', and trying to avoid people grabbing balloons off you halfway through a delivery. Aah ... I miss work. The work itself, not the people. So glad I managed to dig myself out of it.
