It seems like an eternity since my last post. Often times this website has become just a distant memory to me. At this rate, baking itself is often like a distant memory too! What a shame, I hear you say. That is,… if anybody is still out there, reading these words. In any case, thank you for either stumbling upon my website and staying for even 2 seconds to read these words, or for still having hopes in me and this site. To be honest, I am quite active elsewhere as a netizen, you see… in places that require much lesser words, and more pictures (like Instagram, nowadays). Perhaps I should have just gone off and done the Tumblr thing instead of having to fork up serious dosh for this website. Speaking of which, it was precisely having my webhost deduct money from my bank account about a week ago that made me realize that I haven’t blogged in a while. Not the best of reasons, but at least it has induced enough guilt to make me write ^_^

We’ve just entered 2012 here where I am in UK, about 1.5 hours ago. So how has it been for you, there, temporally ahead of us? Too soon perhaps, to ask. I know for a lot of people, it’s that time of the year again to be re-launching their diets. I usually do so, but funnily enough I start in Decembers (of the year before). I can’t quite put my finger as to why I choose December to start a ”new year’s resolution”; well maybe because it is never a new year’s resolution, really. Especially back in 2011 (woooo! I can say that now!) when I spent half the year in Brunei (for a well-deserved break & research purposes, mind you) and consequently gained 10kg thanks to all that glorious food. Oh it was the best time, of course. But man, have I got a battle to fight! Sadly though, December 2011 marked the first time that I actually failed in relaunching a diet. Am I saying this right? What I meant was, I started the diet, then I ate a whole box of Domino’s Quattro Formaggio with a generous heaping of Roquito Pepper and a side of Mozzarella sticks. And it all just spirals out of control,.. everytime people around will say the overly-used words of ‘encouragement’ to me: ”Ah but it’s winter, you need to be fat”. Nonsense.

Without the risk of sounding like an idiot on a perpetual yo-yo dieting obsession, I am now officially joining the bandwagon of starting my diet in January! Yay! I’ll tell you right now that I wish I can keep you posted (or to say the much cliched sentiment: ‘watch this space’), but I can promise nothing based on my blogging behaviour -_- Nevertheless, you and I know, that 10kg needs to be shed, most definitely. And I always make sure I attain my goals. Once I finish my constant cravings for these babies, that is:

I have been eating far too much of these and they are seriously delicious (and costly too – at £33 for 16 pcs, plus £13 by unglamorous coach/bus travel to London. And I simply just don’t share!)

Right. My dieting banter aside, I’ll just casually mention here several things I want to ‘fix’ or improve on for this new year:

1) Stop being an insomniac
2) Read more before going to bed, instead of playing ‘Angry Gran’ on my phone. (She is a proper laugh, by the way.. a lot more entertaining than Angry Birds)
3) Bake at least six times this year so I can post at least six times on this blog.

Oh. Now I see why I’m an insomiac. Angry Gran! Ahhh the joy of beating random passersby with a piece of french loaf.

I shall leave you now with more random musings (dreadfully-overdone edits using an app I’m trialing) from my last trip to London, to get me a box of macarons, of course… of course! I hope you have a wonderful year ahead, and a very successful and productive one, to boot!

 Toodles for now! xx
