Bored as usual yesterday after my programming exam, I decided to do something out of the ordinary: draw. I used to draw all the time before sixteen or so, then I started working part-time (all the time) and stopped drawing. This is my take on Sailor Moon; I googled some pictures afterwards and found that her eyes are a little bit different and so is her hair. Oh well, try again.

This is what I do during exam time when I want to avoid doing work. All of these are either made with Post-Its or paper from readings that I decided not to do (oops!). I used the super easy sonobe unit.
I should really get some studying done, but I’m still getting settled back in residence. I forgot my toothbrush at home! Note to self: buy toothbrush.

I went home for a few days to relax and hang out with my family in between exams. I actually miss being home! Everyone was either at work or at school during most of my visit so I had to entertain myself. I slept, drove around and baked some things. Did you know that given the choice between being an engineer or a pastry chef I would choose the latter? That’s crucial Rebecca trivia.
This is a cupcake (duh) that I made on Thursday. The recipe is apparently the exact recipe that Magnolia Bakery in Manhattan, New York uses. I got the recipe off the Food Network and other than halving the recipe I followed it exactly. I made it at the request of my sister and even though I’m not a big cupcake fan this was really good! The orange/pink icing and the chocolate heart was my idea.
I didn’t like this bread too much. It was too dense, almost like a bagel. It got devoured pretty fast though. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose, maybe that made it dense, I don’t know.
This bread I kind of put together on my own. I was looking for something Asian-ish but I had trouble with metric measurements because I don’t have a good kitchen scale at home. This red bean bread is made from a recipe for red bean paste and cinnamon bread (without the cinnamon). This was REALLY good. Almost like the stuff that you get from T&T Supermarket. It needed more sugar though and the red bean paste was so-so. I’m gonna make it again with taro maybe. It looks really pro too.
Damn, that cupcake is beautiful.
