When life kinda sucks, just remember that, we were born wet, naked, and hungry! Make Cheesecake filled strawberries

Hello beautiful readers!

It’s the time of the year where Singapore looks a tad prettier. The lights, the glitter and the colors. Not to forget the sales! Don’t u just love December? 🙂

Personally, things are not as flowery right now. This is life I guess. Sometimes it all comes together and sometimes you just kinda lose it all. Funny, just when you think life can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does! It’s so draining at times and you just wanna raise the white flag!

And then, you wander around the web and end up on Facebook, you see pictures of kids in Gaza on your timeline and your mind goes on a standstill and then you realized, your worries are nowhere near theirs.

Till today, I cringed whenever these pictures pop up out of nowhere. I can’t fathom such hatred and racism. NO one has the right to take a life and that too without a reason. War is not a solution and it will never be. If the leaders think  war is the answer to everything and it portrays their power, they why don’t they themselves go on the battlefield?  A powerful leader should at least have some common sense and compassion and not someone who can only let the public make all these sacrifices while these so called leaders are in the comfort of their own homes. Utter disgrace. On that note, may god give comfort to these poor victims and their families.

Sorry for digressing. I know, I do that ever so often. Back to what I was saying…Christmas! So apparently my dad friends love to come to Singapore during Christmas. 🙂 Both for the beautifully adorned Orchard Road and the year end sales. They always marvel at the long stretch  road that is adorned with breathtaking Christmas lights and decorations.

Like this one. Gorgeous isn’t it?

Moving on….
Some cakes that I did over the past weekends.

My 1st time sugar crafting an Elmo. Not that bad actually. Hes a pretty easy guy I guess.

And finally, time for a recipe. I have been wanting to share this recipe but it kept slipping my mind.
I saw this pic……

on this blog and I could not get it out of my mind.

So I had to give it a try! Delicious, pretty little things :). Lets make cheesecake filled strawberries.
