It's uni break, why not bake?

The title says that Luna and I were baking. (Ly is currently in her exam periods, wish her luck!) Yes, we baked today and we decided to post this up tonight before we sleep. Hehe.

So, we decided a while ago, perhaps a month ago, to bake during the uni winter holidays. Taking advantage to be creative and innovative! We challenged ourselves to make a rainbow layered cake. I'm sure we all have seen those awesome and successfully made cakes on the internet, books, magazine etc. that's why we chose it.

We started at 1PM and finished making the cake around 7:30PM. It took us 6 hours to make this cake, patiently waiting to bake each layer, cleaning up, deciding what to do next and how we were going to do it. A good way to use your brain during break.

Making this cake was messy and time consuming, nonetheless worth every single moment of our effort and time. Luna and I, as well as our extra helper (thank you, you know who you are when you read this!) were so happy that we successfully did it! Ticking this off our holiday-to-do list!

If you bloggers/readers want to know how to make a rainbow cake, just type into google 'rainbow cake recipe' and all sorts will pop up! Challenge yourself today, be creative and inventive!

Here are the photographs showing our progression throughout this whole day.

Coming together like Yin and Yang

On Saturday night, the 11th of May, Luna and I attended an 18th birthday party of a two friends of ours. We were asked to take photos of their special night, to commemorate, not only their 18th year on this planet but their friendship that they have shared since the day they were born. Happy belated birthday to our friends, Andrew and Tony.

The night was quite spontaneous with various activities provided by the host themselves. This night was actually challenging for us because we have not had much experience the flash. Taking photos, trying to get the flash bounce off the roof to give a nice light fill to the photos. It was quite fun trying though and looking forward to using the flash in the near future.

The theme of this party was Yin-Yang where everywhere you look, majority of what you see was black and white, even the birthday boys were wearing black and white. There is not much words I can explain this night aside from saying it was an enjoyable night, celebrating with these beings and sharing to us their touching story. Here are the photos!
