So I was craving for the carrot cake I had in a hotel on my last birthday. Even spreading around the word on how good that cake was. Then I couldn't tahan anymore and I wanted to try and make it on my own.
I got all the stuffs, kept procrastinating, and finally I made my first attempt during the holidays when I had VIPs in my home for a few days. And I thought "whoa!!! This is almost as good as the one which I was yearning for!" Wow! Am I talented or what?
But it was too little among so many of us. Though not all appreciated it, but a visiting friend from Penang said it's good. I'm sure he and his wife weren't lying about it... I was pretty sure as I was scanning their faces for any hints of twitching eyes. hmm...
Anyway, I made my 2nd attempt, double all the ingredients up and enjoyed the aroma spreading to our nostrils. Mmmmm... how good it was.
It appeared too much and I don't like to keep cakes for more than 2 days. So I cut 2 portions up and gave it away to 2 of my neighbours. Ooh.. the joy on their face, the surprise feeling, it's double joy for me to know they appreciate it. I want to keep baking and keep on giving. It feels so good. The same therapy of lying down with closed eyes for a few mins, listening to your own snores, opening up the eyes and see details of things you've never really seen before, breathing in, breathing out (ah-choo! that therapy hearsay need you to be naked summore! easy catch cold la wei!)
