I don't know about you, but when I was a kid I had many dreams. When I was a teenager, even more. And when I became an adult (maybe not physically but perhaps mentally), my dreams aren't so 'grand' anymore. Here are some of them, fulfilled (√) and unfulfilled (×).

More to be added.
Here are some cupcakes my sister and I frosted at midnight. I followed an American recipe and found the frosting too sweet. There's a possibility that one cupcake has as much sugar as a can of Coke. I will do better next time.
I found this interesting.
regardless...the cupcakes look lovely.
Anyways... sorry to purge! I've been recently thinking that I really need to set some goals in life... and you got me wondering about these things. Your list is inspiring, I'll be making my own soon. Thanks for posting yours!
and if you're picky about flavor and consistency, as I am, a good frosting recipe can be hard to find.
lydia: thank you... that meant a lot. truly. and i will be frosting more cupcakes in the future :)
i want to watch one of wong kar wai's movie: my blueberry nights..i've been dlding it since early jan and its barely a quarter way :(
