The cream cheese filling was meant to be a hidden surprise, but the cupcakes rose and exploded, and I think they look awfully cute like that.
Absolutely delicious! I love the chocolate chips hidden in the cream cheese hidden in the chocolate cupcake. Funny SMS from Mummy who sampled them when I wasn't around: "Hi I like the muffin. The best so far. The cheese goes very well with the chocolate."
Hooray (:
The recipe was a little weird though. I halved the recipe initially (I don't like to bake too many of one thing, in case it fails) but ended up with twice as much cream cheese filling as I needed. So in the end I had to make the halved cupcake mixture again to use up the rest of cream cheese. But I needn't have worried because the cupcakes were all gobbled up in, what, 2 days? Wonderful (:

I'm sounding a lot livelier than I actually am. Today wasn't a great day and my grouchiness showed through a few times. Boohoo.
Woke up at 5 something in the morning on Friday, performed for two schools, went for work, worked until 2.30 am, slept at 4, woke up early today to go to RJ for dance, danced till 5, gave 413 gathering a miss, nearly fell asleep eating, uh, lunch at 6 pm.
The lack of sleep certainly gets to me. And little things that wouldn't bother me normally bothered me today. Like seeing only 7 people turn up for alumni prac. (I know everyone has perfectly valid reasons for not being able to make it, and getting grumpy doesn't make sense, but.) Or when I had to waste money to cab home because I was too tired to make it back by bus. (Excuses, I know, but.) Or when I had to ____. (It might just be psychological, but.) Or when I didn't get to ____. (I oughtn't anyway, but.)

The RJ Chinese Dance SYF item is very very beautiful. Very. I'm so impressed, and I'm so impressed by their dedication.

I should be sleeping.
