My Pompom Cupcakes March 25th, 2008

These cupcakes are not just about looks. My cupcakes are aesthetically pleasing but it’s more than that. I only use quality ingredients. Real butter and real chocolate make a big difference to the taste.

My aim with these cupcakes was to create something a little more practical after my Easter bunnies cupcakes, which were very cute but used some unconventional candies in the decoration.

My Twin boys tercinta March 20th, 2008

Well, having my twin boys are blessing. Not only they are charming and good boys,also good looking :P ,but they have such a unique characteristic. They are off course can be naughty sometimes but not stupid naughty though,they are cheeky and sometimes noisy.. so be careful talk around them.. they will remember what you said!!! :D and dont promise them anything, they will also remember :P

Today, while I was having a nap they woke me up with a plate of biscuits and a glass of water sometimes milk, :P (and with a hug from the eldest twin, TOM, said, “I love you MY Queen Lia :P ,more than anything in this whole world and never stop like numbers..” :) followed by twin no.2 CAM,only a hug and “I love you mummy..”with his smile and his ompong gigi and a massage on my toes hahahaha.. (I LOVE THEM SO MUCH) :)

Also when I was walking home from park with them today Tom said, “I am holding the beautiful mum in the whole world” haha how could you not love them??? Also they are very generous for their age,I keep telling them to share,never ask back also being nice to people even though they are mean to you, Its hard for their age to accept when people being nasty but with the help from their wonderful mum :D now they understand better why being nice better than being nasty, not only for others but also for they own good.

Anyway,they said they will get me a present for my birthday next week from their money box, which I refused coz.. “hey you got your step dad here to take you shopping for my presents,leave your money box alone!!” :D Well they ask me what I want, I said anything I will be happy and they said, “A big love heart chocolate with teddy bear?” hehehehhehe.. talking about my sons always makes me happy,I know I means lots to them,and they means so much to me..

Thomas and Cameron are my joy :) hm.. love you two a deep as the ocean and as big as the universe .. (not only tom can be poetic,mummy can be poetic too)

PS: susah emang kalo mama nya romantis gini nurun ke anak2nya hahahahah.. :D
