I've felt considerably down the whole of today, for reasons I don't really want to think about and would rather not get into.

It was a lazy rainy weekend, though I did get abit of both work and fun in..we decided to indulge gloria's whim of wanting to bake orangespongecake:) though it didn't exactly turn out the way we wanted to..haha it didn't quite taste like cake, and didn't taste that orangey either. Ollie says internet recipes aren't to be trusted. I think so too. They list weird ingredients and give weird instructions. haha maybe our cake would have turned out better if we had really followed the recipe to the letter..but we couldn't find orange zest (whatever that is) and we didn't understand how we could get 'stiff peaks' out of plain egg whites..oh well. but it was fun gloria!:)

sigh. I think the best treatment for my dismal mood is just music. when you listen to a song..what stands out more? lyrics or melody? don't know whether it's a result of 6 years of symphonic band..but I think I tend to listen to the harmonies and melody more..somehow I feel I can express myself more in the form of notes rather than words. sometimes, I just can't find the words I'm trying to say.

anyway, dear xinli, all the best:) haha glad I caught you just at the last minute!I woke up at 6am this morning and it suddenly came to me..take care and just have fun k:) you'll be back before you know it:)
