Cupcakes and Birthdays.

I stopped giving actual presents quite sometime ago and gave people my lil tiny cupcakes aka Babycakes out as birthday presents. Why? Cos I'm a cheapskate.

But hey, people are so taken away by the absolute cuteness of the cupcakes that they totally forget about what a cheapskate you are! Trust me!! But I've had a few people who go "Hey, Where's my real present?"

So, On to the pictures to last Friday's Birthday celebration at Delicious at DUA Residence for May!

Okay well, here, please note that these were also done together with my friend who, as u can tell likes cupcakes that look more like rainbow vomit. No offence intended!

So how did I actually get into this whole cupcake shabang?

I'm one of those trend followers yeah yeah. Well, actually it started a few years back when I tried hard wanting to try one of those cupcakes from a cafe in Damansara, but I went to the place several times and never seem to find the cafe! So I got so frustrated, I said, I'll make them myself. Then it became an obsession, I'd make a batch every weekend and by the forth weekend, my family was so sick of them the cupcakes went on weeks with no one touching them. Then one fine day, my mum decided to help me set up my stall at a Flea Market nearby and VOILA! Babycakes was born!! Here, you can see one of our flyers immortalized by Facebook.

After a while this got really tiring, so I ceased taking orders and selling at the fleamarket. After a while making these cupcakes didnt feel as inspiring as it once did.

Although I am not doing my lil mini-buiness thing anymore, I still do take orders for cupcakes for friends and my regular customers. And occasionally, I open an order for a fresh batch of inspired homemade style cupcakes =D

Kickboxing: Update 1

Well, what can I say about my used-to be-new obsession, I signed up for the 8 Classes a month for the month of March- April, and guess what? It wasn't enough, I suppose if I did not have so many camps to go to in April I would have easily have gone for 3-5 times a week. So since, I have my whole study break in May, I decided to go for every single day where I can.

I have to say, My body had changed so much, I didn't think I could have been this way just a month and a half back.

1st change: My legs has decreased in cellulite. And I wasn't even sure that the thigh cellulite would ever go away! but it really looks smoother and now I can wear my short dresses and shorts again!!

2nd change: Now I am able to easily run 2.4km without feeling like I'm going to die. I know many of you ( those 28 Unique Readers) I have think that hey, 2.4km is NOTHING??? but guys, you've gotta understand where I'm coming from! This is a slightly "chubby" young female adult who in her life has never been considered fit. haha! But this also is due to the morning jog (this week i only did two cos I was too tired from kickboxing the evening before) I have been taking after sending my brother to school.

3rd change: You know when you do those leg stretches on the floor, you find it so difficult to even reach the tip of your fingers to your toes, but guess what. I became so flexible, I could kiss and hug my knee, and currently i feel like if my knee wasn't in the way, I could kiss the floor.

4th Change : My conversation with my best friend went like this in the cafeteria one day,

me : oh! look!! I now have BICEPS!!!

her: *rolls eyes* oh come on. I dont believe you

me: COME HERE! LOOK! *flexes my muscles under my long sleeved shirt* feel it!!

her: *pokes the side of my arm half heartedly * no, thats fat!

me: no, not there. HERE. *shows her the top of my arm*

her: Thats your bone, genius.

me: NO WAY! THATS MY MUSCLE!!!!! *grins contently with self*

but, well for the main aim for losing weight, I haven;t =( I mean, I really am caving in on my diet, I really really hate dieting but i really really love working out. I did lose a couple of kgs in one week but then I somehow gained it back this week. hahaha! oh =( It's sad though when you feel all this changes to your body, but then, your weight doesnt change. I have a feeling its due to all the muscle thats building up under a ton of fat that I have.
