Haha! I was so happy when I got this! The cake in question? This chocolate cake:
I'd made the cake for a friend's birthday! And the text was from her housemate haha. It's a super rich chocolate cake, and the frosting is very "truffle-y" in nature, as my friend kept gushing that night. It's a new technique I'm trying out- I hate chocolate frosting that's more butter than chocolate, and I've found this frosting that's more chocolate and the richness comes from double cream rather than butter. So the end result is a super chocolatey, "truffle-y" chocolate cake! Guess what, there's around 600g of chocolate in this whole cake alone:) I would be mad shocked if the cake didn't taste chocolatey haha.
I've got yet another long weekend, I've got today (Friday) off. Tomorrow I'm going to eat pies in Salthill with the gang! Still undecided if I should jog there (i.e. burn off some calories before indulging in pie-eating). I haven't exercised the whole week (save for Pilates lesson on Wed) because I came my period haha. I'll start again next week!
Junior and Jonathan's letters came on Monday, and I spent the whole night writing them back. Or rather, writing Junior's letter. I think I spent only about 2 hours on Jonathan's letter, but like about 9 on Junior's??? I slept only at 6am that night:X Had to wake up early somemore cause school on Tuesday was at 9am. I detoured to the cafe in the hospital on my way to school to grab a cup of mocha haha, or else I wouldn't be able to stay awake for the whole day. AND school that day was a full day from 9am- 5pm. I rushed off halfway through school cause bac practical ended early to post my letters off, I wanted to send them off ASAP. So yeah, I was like a walking zombie on V-Day because I'd only slept for 2 hours the night before. I went to school in specs and no make-up lol.
My mom's parcel still hasn't arrived:( She posted it off last Thursday, and yet till today it hasn't arrived yet. I'm eager to see what stuffs she had put inside- she refuses to tell me! She mailed it via registered mail though, and I hope I'll be around to get it because if not, I'll have to go to some post office in Tuam or something just to collect it.
Anyway, I got Dilyso's letter today! It came in the morning but because I didn't go out of the house, I didn't get it till Geraldine came back in the evening and passed it to me. Haha, she wrote it on one of the letter sets she bought when we went shopping in Daiso together earlier this year while I was back in Singapore.
I love the stickers omggg. Here in Ireland you cannot find such cute stuffs anywhere, and in the event that you do, they'll confirm burn a hole in your pocket one.
