Sick Sick Sick

It had been a loooooooong time since I last blogged. Been too busy.... busy with my work, my family and myself. :P

For the past few days, Reyna was sick....She suddenly developed fever on Friday night and on Saturday, the fever went up as high as 39.8 degC! She was soooo sticky to me.... but she was very tired and sick too... sat on me the whole day long and only wants me to carry her. But at any point when her fever subside a bit, she will join her sisters in their playing... so the moment she came looking for me, I know it's time for medicine. :P

Yesterday, her fever finally subsided to very mild fever and she started her cheeky and funky self. I'm so glad to see her alert and happy again.

Since it's been long I've blogged. Just upload a few recent photos of my gals bah:
This was the recent Barney show which we brought them to and I've spent a few hundred on this as I bought them the most expensive seat at the 2nd row in front of the stage.

It was quite an enjoyable show.... Think Rachel is out-growing Barney cos she's not too excited. It was Renise who got very excited and started screaming like calling out for idol... we were very surprised as we thought she will be irritated by the loud noise. Glad the gals enjoyed the show and at least the money was well spent!

There will be more photos coming up, cos I'm not able to upload this from my office PC. Will do so when I got back home.

Happy Birthday Renise!!

This year, as Renise had started to attend some Art class with her sister, we had decided to celebrate her birthday earlier at her Art class so that she would have friends to sing birthday song and shared her joy.
As promised, I had baked her a Cinderella Doll Cake. She always tell me that she is Cinderella whenever we read the story, so I've decided to bake this cake for her.
Instead of the usual doll pick where it's only the head and half body, I bought her the whole doll from Toy R'us. It was a Cinderella Barbie Doll with a necklace and comb and shoes which she can play with after the celebration. Wow, this cost me $30!! But well, it's her birthday, and this was also my birthday gift for her.
Well, the cake was a challenge. As I'm using the usual barbie doll, the cake was taller than the previous cake which I had done before. It consisted of 4 layers of cakes with 3 flavours, Chocolate Sponge, Buttermilk cake and of course the usual Butter cake. I'm supposed to cover the skirt with fondant, but I do not have enough to do it and my fridge is not tall enough to store the cake if I will to use fresh cream. Even if my fridge can store it, I doubt the fridge in the Art class can, hence, without much choice, I had to cover it with buttercream icing.
This was the cake I did for her:

Beside this, I was worried that this may not have enough to share for all the kids at the class, also, I was lazy to scout for goodie bags and packing them, I baked and decorated the Cinderella Themed cupcakes for her.... obviously.... the glass slippers was the choice :

Again, will update her party photo later. :)
