Finished the Valentine's Day gifts to the HM clique! I know it's gonna be late over by the time I give it to them on Monday, but hey, it's thought that counts right?
I must say my packaging skills suck, because even though there was an equal number of sweets per person, it still looks one big one small. I did spend a lot of time trying to pick out the sweets that suit the person's personality. Originally I wanted to give keychains/chocolate/bracelets, but there's the question of budget and taste (I doubt anyone would like my slightly gothic/over embellished taste). Besides, Hui Ting doesn't wear bracelets. I think.
I also wanted to give heart-shaped candies (gummies) like the ones Wei Qi gave on Friday THE 13th (heh love this date, Valentines day masquerading as an unlucky day? OH NOES!), but decided that it was completely unoriginal. Then, I thought. Hey, since I take lit, wouldn't it be more fun and meaningful if the sweets carried meaning? I spent the next few minutes working on the mental spreadsheet in my head and analysing people (though I bet I got some wrong).
Just hope no one laughs at me for giving it late, because there's only EARLY celebrations and not LATE ones. I DID want to give it to them on Valentine's (supposedly Friday in our school), but because of the stupid tests, stress + more stress + time constraint, I had no time to buy any, much less package them nicely.
Pretty proud of how it turned out, even if it looks like xiao long bao.
Boy, I'm getting hungry looking at this image...
Of course, with the excess cloth sticking out at the end.
It was SUPPOSED to look like this:
But, thanks to my prevailing suckiness, it looks like crumpled cloth.
Bleh. I suck.
Nevermind. At least I tried my best.
