Yesterday:
Last ever day in study room and MJ uniform! After which, rushed to Parkway to meet Mariam and buy baking goods (it was a long journey there from Pasir ris ><) then off to her house to begin baking our cake for Harshini. It was supposed to be this sexy Turkish tamarind-chocolate cake thing but in the end it was just chocolate cos we couldn't find Tamarind syrup (is that the thing they put in those Chaat items etc?). It was my VIRGIN CAKE. I have never baked a thing in my life, and Mariam has never baked anything that isn't from an instant mix. And we were gonna do this from SCRATCH. So I was like, "Mariam, don't worry. This is just like Chemistry SPA."... hahaha... we literally just followed the instructions like it was some titration experiment. But instead of 25cm^3 of NaOH, it was like... 80g of flour and instead of heating some compound in an evaporating dish, it was melting chocolate in our self-made double boiler of sorts.

It was good fun, I should say. Even though our cake looked damn disgusting. Cos our cream didn't come out properly, and our cake didn't rise enough either. So it was like sooo thin and thus we triple-layered it. Haha! And then we just poured chocolate everywhere, 3 different flavours of chocolate and it was like this disgusting goop thing all over the place. Her entire kitchen was a mess but here's the deal: IT TASTED AWESOME!!! And we thought we'd let Harshini decide what it was... biscuit, or brownie or cookie or pudding or whatever :P (In the end, she and her mom named it some french thingo that she'd eaten in Paris on her ACTUAL birthday - last Thursday)

So after like 5 hours of retarded baking, finally walked to Harshini's house and I came in by the front door while Mariam tried to creep in by the back door. I made up some absolute nonsense in an attempt to make conversation with Harshini while looking out for the back door. I don't think it was very nice that I turned up at her doorstep unannounced at 10pm. And she was like "oh why didn't you call?" and I was like "umm I tried" (I kind of remember Mariam talking on the phone with Harsh while Harsh told her to only call her house phone) and Harsh went "oh yeah I lost my sim card!" (and I was thinking THANK GOD cos I couldn't have lied anymore!!!!) I thought her parents were kind of on to us... but they was just as clueless omg. Tssssk. So had to handle the situation by myself... only to realise that Mariam had sent me a text saying it was LOCKED! So I told her to come by the front and she said NO! So I randomly told Harsh I needed water and we went to the kitchen. And I didn't know where the backdoor was, so I was like "oooh you have a backyard? Omg can I see" and just helped myself to the door while Harshini was like "wtf vidhu it's just the back kitchen there that's all!" and SURPRISE !!!!!! Mariam with cake and candles hehehe.

Sang songs, cut cake, smeared it on her face then crashed in her room for a while talking about random stuff before my dad came. And that was the night!

Hope Harshini liked it. It wasn't much, but it came from the heart so I guess that counts for something? :)

Came home hella tired and had the most peaceful sleep :D
