this is very random, but i just decided to rant. i don't like cupcakes. i'm not a fan of the fact that it is a fashionable food simply because Magnolia Bakery appeared in Sex and the City. in fact i think it's very pretentious, just like i find it sad that 'sushi' is a fashionable food. i find cupcakes too pretty, too dainty and way too saccharine (except my mom's) and the only reason i'm actually helping to sell them is because i want my mom to have this for herself. and well, while looking pretty enough for the people who like eating pretty food, they also taste pretty damn good. so we'll be coming up with new designs (enough valentines day stuff. we sold about 8 orders, but made 0 profit i think. we have to change our gameplan).

right. my first time back here in a long time and i decided to rant about cupcakes because i like my food to be actually tasty and i don't care all that much for presentation. give me char kway teow over some fancy souffle any day.

i must, however, learn food photography.

oh well!

i have procured for myself my very own computer (because i am now 18 i told my parents and should get my own computer) and it is an iMac. it is very fun (though scary at times!) getting used to a Mac and now i can do all things on the eMac that i use at work which i never knew how to do.

work has been really enriching for me. i've learnt a lot of important things and E is a great boss and person to work with. it's amazing to be working for E, because well, he's E and i really do see him as someone who has done a lot for the local film industry. a lot. we've finished the new short film for the Jeonju fest and it's undergoing editing now and it was one of the best experiences i've ever had. although i'm not getting paid i think this job has really done so much more for me. and i know i should probably leave it after a while so i can try other things - i still want to try teaching, waitressing - but once you've become so comfortable with a routine it's hard to break out of it. well, i'll have to see how it goes.

ironically, while i've been working in the film industry i have not been watching very much film. the last movie i watched was Memoirs of a Geisha (and i hated it!). i am going to watch a movie with my mom tonight but i shall not jinx it by talking about it because, ahhh!

anyway i'm behaving very irrationally. til next time, white space.

oh and yes just to note this down because i think it is noteworthy : i went for the Franz Ferdinand concert last week and it was awesome!



not a very nice photo of a half eaten valentines day cupcake.
