New Kid On The Blog

I celebrated my birthday today by first of all taking a day off work.  Dominic was not allowed at the nursery and I had all the activities planned for the day.  In my planning, we would bake a cake together, and then we would go to the park and then we would go shopping.  As it turned out Dominic woke up really late this morning and I baked the cake myself.  I got a liiiiiiiitle bit worried when he was still fast asleep at 10am so I woke him up instead.  We managed to go to the park and did shopping as planned.

So, here's the cheesecake that I baked.  I got the inspiration from my brother's girlfriend who baked a cake for his birthday 2 days ago.  Since I don't have a husband who can bake me a birthday cake (but he offered to buy one), I baked myself one.  This was my first attempt at baking a cake.  Although it didn't look very attractive but I have to say it tasted pretty good. :-D

For dinner, we had pizza, Campbell soup and my self-invented-inspired-by-my-pregnant-woman-taste-bud all season chickpea salad.  I love my salad invention - tomatoes, onions, sliced red chilli, cucumber, baby spinach and chickpeas in lemon juice and olive oil dressing, topped with crumbled feta cheese.  

This year, I received 3 birthday presents from daddy. :-D  First, he got a new quilt cover set for our bed.  I saw it hidden in the room a few days ago but didn't say anything about it.  Hehe!  Then, today he got me a silk scarf.  My 3rd birthday present is the Wii Fit but it will only arrive end of this month.  

Overall, I think it was a wonderful day.  Now, I wish my birthday wish will come true!
