*353 - love shaped


Voila, the final product.

If you had 24 hours to live.

Just 15 seconds of skimming my eyes over it got me tearing.

I wanted to take a closer look but I know I'll cry if I do.

I realise there's one person I really don't understand - it's myself. How can anyone possibly ____ but still ____? I used to raise my eyebrow at people like that.

I think what it means is that I need a time out, I need to drop everything I have, I need to wait till the turbulence dies down, I need to wait, and listen, and listen to my heart, and listen to God, until I can find peace in whatever I'm doing.

But I can't drop everything now. And what's stopping me isn't really me, it's, you.

On a completely different note, I made apricot muffins! Experimented with the recipe. I split the batter into half, and made one batch of normal apricot muffins and one batch of double chocolate apricot muffins. Both were yummy, but I think I didn't stir the double chocolate ones well enough because some of them were almost devoid of apricots while others had a nice amount.


I love the colour contrast (: And also the adorable way the apricots pushed their way out of the tops of the muffins.




Guess what I was trying to do with the last muffin? Haha! It was my hearty attempt to create love-shaped muffins. Sadly, they turned out to be fortune-cookie-shaped muffins instead. Haha.
