A sprinkle of reindeer food

To mark the last day of my easter break, I set my alarm and got up at what i thought was 9am. I did my daily yoga routine, showered and decided to run to 'countdown' to grab whatever groceries i had to get. The roads were fairly empty for a sunday morning. Then did i realise that 'Daylight Saving Time' has commenced and the time has moved an hour back. I felt a little smug about getting up early. My sleeping hours went slightly unusual during the break, or should i say ever since summer break. I made it back in less than an hour when i thought i took forever browsing the aisles of the supermarket.

Tomo and Yang were there to greet me when i opened the door! YAY! I made myself a bottle of apple cider vinegar honey drink (Yasu bought it yesterday and we were all convinced by the health benefits.)and a mug of coffee and sat down to enjoy the chocolate gateau tomo made. I also microwaved my beloved pack of sweet popcorn that i discovered yesterday. YESH! i did some reading to get myself in the study mode and prepared myself for classes tomorrow.( i sound like a primary school kid.hehe.) Then i went online and found this easy peasy recipe for sponge cake. You only have to make the batter and place it in the microwave. It turned out to be like the "ma lai ko" that i love! WHEEE!!!! It only took me about 30 min! And everyone likes it too. Too bad the honey turned the cake brown. I would like a pastel yellow one.

My day sounds really simple and relaxing. Yasu told me yesterday that i'm the 'happy chappy' in the house and i should remain that way instead of getting down and out like everyone else. Then did i realise the reason why i need 'time-out' every now and then. That's the time when i can be emotionless and cold, doing things alone and at my own pace. Somehow i get sort of grumpy around people if i'm with them all the time. Yep and nobody needs grumpy angie :)

P.S. The card is for grandma Lau's birthday.
