i made tiramisu for daddy's birthday, but the cake part turned out too soggy. humphhh. the recipe said to soak the ladyfingers in coffee! i didn't even really soak it, just dipped quickly, but still.... the next time i'll just bake coffee sponge instead then brush on the liquor. *frustrated* and nobody could taste any alcohol! i poured one and a half shots into the coffee, should've done 3. haha. oh well, just to console myself, at least it looked alright.


above: my soggy dessert

i think i feel nervous and excited i can't sleep! we're flying off tomorrow or rather, later today. luggage is packed, but i'm always afraid to leave out something, even though i always have a list.

mutually, we promised not to quarrel, 'cause even if we do, where can we run? we'll be in foreign land.. at most i'll just buy some gelato. it's damn shiok eating ice-cream when it's cold out there. best of all, ice-cream chases all worries away. :)

i had thought of doing a blog tour, but my laptop's too zor deng to bring over so i'll just come back to do it. regretted not doing it for my rome trip 'cause that would've been fabulous since i took lots of photos of churches and architecture.

darn, really need some sleep. still have to print some maps later.
