#37; Add Math, Add Stress

I HATE add math. Especially the chapters involving graphs. I always have a mild headache after doing add math. How sad =.=ll. And surprisingly, I'm finding Physics more and more interesting :S

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the Dong Zhi Festival (冬至). I followed mom to the market this morning and we bought the dough for Tang Yuan. And they were all so colourful and tempting! Can't wait till tuesday! 'Me want make Tang Yuan!' :P

Making headpins out from paperclips is definitely NOT a good idea. I made a few Christmas charms 2 days ago and unfortunately, all the headpins got rusty. Urghh.. Screwed up everything again.


Baked my White Chocolate Chip Cookie on Thursday. It was okay lah. The baked white chocolate chips don't taste as good as the unbaked one. I still prefer my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies :D


Now, I need YOU to guess who is this. If you guess it wrongly, I really need a lot of improvent lohh :/
Clue: He is a Japanese.
Have fun :P

#35; Punkin' Pumpkin






First attempt of baking a Pumpkin Cake. The taste was okay. I rate B for my own cake cause all my walnuts sinked to the bottom when it was baking and some of them are toasted somemore. Not enough pumpkin. The salt and cinammon are not evenly distributed. At least it still taste fine. That's the most important factor of a tasty cake..I guess.. (:

I NEED white chocolate. Without it my brain could not function properly. Am addicted to WHITE CHOCOLATE!! :S

Haha. Plan of baking cookies with white chocolate chips. I LOVEEEE WHITE chocolate chips :D

p/s: Will be busy making Christmas gifts :P

#24; Gingerbread Men Cookies

I didn't know that baking Gingerbread Men Cookies will used up so much of my time. I started baking it at about 12 something in the noon and finish baking at 6 something! Including taking photos, cleaning up, preparing etc. I even have a backache after baking!

The cookies were okay. They aren't very sweet because I'd reduced the amount of sugars. And also during the kneading process, I'd used more than enough of flour to floured the dough.

Now, Let the pictures Gingerbread Men do the talking (:


I LOVE the cookie cutter


Baking...


The oven freshh cookiess.. :P


& the GREAT escape (:




Icing! (:




The story of a Gingerbread Man..












Such a lot of work for a brief pleasure!

#17; Shortbread Cookie

I have a thing for chocolate chips. I don't know why either. The original shortbread cookie recipe does not has chocolate chips as one of their ingredients too. The cookie tastes weird with chocolate chips, really. Shouldn't have added them but can't help it cause of my itchy hands. :/


Shortbread cookies (: , with chocolate chips :/ weird huh?


A love-shaped one.


smiling cookie xD


Spot the love-shaped cookie?

I thought my cookies were going to turn out tasting awful but it was okay. Brother complained it wasn't nice but my mom and I think it's okay lah. Just that they are too crispy. Like, when you drop them into the cookie jar, they will be crushed into pieces. Haha.. if I'm selling these cookies, I better label them as "FRAGILE". Kidding. Should be "Handle with care"? Ahh..whatever lah. If not, after you reach home and wanna munch on these cookies, they've turned into pieces already. The cookies taste abit like butter cookies. Or is it suppose to be taste like that? I don't know! After baking, my house kitchen was reek with the cookies smell. Which is.. not a very good thing although it smells nice.

Craving for Wan Ton Mee Soup with dumplings now. Stomach's growling but it's 12:29am already. Gotta get some sleep now. Will update more soon. Night peeps! (:

#4; Voilaaa!

6th attempt...

I finally managed to make chocolate chip cookies!! I mean the proper one, not the muffin-like cookies. They're crispy and not soft at all! *Rejoice*


Reminds me of Hershey's chocolates xP


A closer look...


Tanning! xD


They actually spread bigger (:


Voilaaa!! :DD


Aren't they tempting?? =D


Ummm... not bad lah xDD


Without choco chips on the top. Good for people who are on diet :P


Now comes the big problem. Who is going to finish them all? I have a few pieces already which makes me felt so full. :/

#1; On a whim

You would probably be thinking why there's a sudden change of my blog and URL. Well, it's just simply because... ehh, I don't know either. Just feel like changing lah. xP

As my blog had been quite dead for a while, there's a lot for me to update. From musics to movies, baking and painting, & etc. Speaking of music...


I really want to recommend you this awesome album, Ocean Eyes! Ocean Eyes is the second album by Owl City. I'm addicted to a few of his songs like Vanilla Twilight and Fireflies. I love Hot Air Balloon too, which I'm not sure which album is it from. If you haven't listen to them, You gotta Youtube for them now! :D *Awesomeness! Thumbs up! :P



I rate 7/10

I went 1U to watch this movie a few weeks back. It's a good movie! Just that I expected it to be greater. I remember that I was sitting uncomfortably at the cinema as my family and I sat at the second row in front of the screen. What makes it worse was we sat at the end of the right seats, which we have to look up and face to the left. I have a neck-ache after the movie. In addition, someone has got a 'Hong Kong foot" there. I feel like puking since the starting of the movie. =x

Anyway, I shall blog a little about my baking experience now. Believe it or not, I've failed 5 times to bake a proper chocolate chip cookies! My cookies seems to be more like muffins! It's not even crispy, nor hard. Just soft, like muffins. Just that the surface is harder.



In the process of baking..


and out.. came the disappointment (First attempt).

I bet you're laughing at it now! =x



Ahhh...better! (Second attempt)


The-cookie-alike-muffin


Here goes another bite



(Third attempt) So many to be finished. I have issues of puking =X

My fifth attempt was the worst, I think. My cookies were all... toasted. I'm still figuring out what makes them soft. I wonder why. Any baking professionals here? I need help. Ahh.. Let's move on the the next subject.




This is what I have been doing for this holiday. Practicing to paint better :D


Inspired.



I'm sure this post is long enough already. Haha. I gotta stop here already. It's 12:50am already. Night! (:
