Hate Fact #1

If I had known how little it was [to you],
I would've never done it [in the first place].
Since it's "tiny" enough [that there's no need to argue about it],
Then it just means I've wasted my half Saturday.

So thanks a lot [for telling me this when it's too late].

[So useless].

Hey HO!

'Sup peeps?

Popping in just to let you know that I'm alive.
And kicking.

Still kicking. rofl. Update, I guess :?
Great, after nearly a month of absence, I have no idea where to start :(
I guess I'll start with this:


Dad's Birthday Cake! :D
Yesh, I made it myself :x
It was Supreme Cheesecake XD
(this cake actually has a name lol)

My uncle, a cake taster (actually he really is a food taster), said that the ratio of cheese to chocolate could improve...
and that was his ONLY comment :D
There was too much crust, too little cheese :x

Other than that,
the taste of the cheese and chocolate and everything was just right! :D
WHOOPEE !!! :D


This is my sushi.
That I make for my breakfast (one to 2 days :x)

Yeah, apparently I've become an expert sushi roller too rofl.

On another note, I've started a few things already:

1. Working.
Yes, I'm working, part-time.
As (don't laugh) and English (tuition) teacher :)

To some (very hyper Std 6, talkative F1, normal F4 and serious F5) students.

Learning English just as I'm teaching it haha XD
But it's a good experience :D

I remember stating in this blog that I wanted to teach the Myanmarese English.
I guess this is "training" for me to be more professional, huh? :)

2. Playing Plants vs Zombies
Unfortunately, it's just too addictive D:
Very hard to keep -any- available hands off it :/

Unfortunately so, since the zombies have the same opinion on brains :/
As the Peashooters have the same opinion on zombies...
and my mouse have the same opinion on the Peashooters...
Gah, the never ending cycle! D:



DON'T be fooled.
Just cause my level's 1-7 doesn't mean I'm a noob, kay?

This would be my 3rd round playing the whole Adventure set ==
(yes, I've seen the Zomboss twice now, sigh)
Now I'm just collecting the plants for my Zen Garden :)

I have these plants now, currently.


And a wee bit more of Marigolds :/
Not that they're worth showing anyways.

I know, there's still a lot to go D:
But, at least it's still better than an empty table haha XD

ohkay... *gamer mode off*

3. Alpha Course.
uhh... some really spiritual stuff here :D
All about the Lord.

No, seriously.
I'm kinda happy that I joined this course to deepen my faith and know the Lord more.
Since last year, I was kinda off track :x

Now I think I'm back on track again :D
Let's hope my spiritual defence lasts in the spiritual warfare!
*Armour mode on*

Only problem is:
I'll need to find a new group to attend, or I know I'll break DX

4. DrawSomething
Oh yeah, I totally have this one rofl. Here's a pic that I drew :x

==
Actually, I might just send this picture tomorrow.
I don't have the intention to sleep so late today
(since there's a lecture tomorrow -on a Saturday, so definitely no fun-):

I guess that's all.
Together with all the in-between work, of course :)
And college lol.

After that...
The End :D

Important Dates


GAHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Oh well...

At least it's only going to be on the 2nd week of February...

And btw, this timetable does not cover the English written exam,
which is going to be held tomorrow.

*random*
I am -NOT- taking any cake orders during the 1st and 2nd week of February.
Studies are VERY important (uh-huh.)

Okay, I shouldn't be here.
*poofs*

Wish me all the blessings for a 4.0GPA!!! :D

Food Update!

Hey guys!
I know, I don't even remember when was the last update that I did. lol

Or what it's about rofl.
-checks-

Oh, Christmas + New Year's wishings and some random update XD

Okay :D

So today, you'll get a food update! ;D
Happiness :D :D :D

So, on the 24th, here's what I had for dinner :D

Ze MAIN COURSE:

TURKEYYYYYY!!! :D
-ROASTED Turkey :9

Is your mouth watering yet? 8D
Juicy turkeyyyyy :c

-gulp!-

8D
basically, my face is shining, just by looking at it.

Did you know?
I had attempted to edit all these on Monday last week...
When I was SUPER hungry, awaiting for my college bus DX

I really know when to edit mouth-watering pictures -_____-;;

Anyway, on Christmas morning, this is what I had :)

Christmas pie :D
yeah, with the reindeer and Christmas Tree XD

btw, I got the moulds for this, so muahahahahhaahaaa :K
I'll be baking some Christmas cookies this year with them :K

My share of the pie <3

Of course, after Christmas, there was still some dinners and others to attend.
and after that, I chiong-ed my assignments =___=

Yeah, 2 weeks of breaks and I chiong-ed assignments.
I know. What a life ._.

Well, anyways...

I've decided that I'd make cakes and sell them if there's an order.
(self-promoting rofl)

So by the time I'm out of college,
I hope to be able to earn some cash... (Say... RM1000 in 4 years?)
out of this business.

Yes, people, you heard me right.
"BUSINESS".

Because before the year ended, I had an order for a cake :)
This was how it turned out :D


When the glaze hasn't hardened.
Chocolistically-deli-much? :D
I know ;)

Oh yeah.
It was ONE TALL cake.
(note: 'was'. I sold it, and it was finished on the same day itself :x)

It was just THAT good :D


Final outlook before it disappeared completely.

From me, that is.
My friend had ordered it for her grandmother's B-Day :D

She didn't want much deco as she said she'd do the writing herself.
Fair enough :)

So I asked her to send me a pic of the final outlook of the cake.


.... yeah, I shouldn't have credited this photo as my own...
but, oh well.

It was the only photo I have, she said the others were blur XD
lol

And after a while, mum claimed she can't eat eggs.
Chinese elderly said that people who underwent surgery mustn't eat eggs.
They cause swelling in the stomach :/

So she bugged me into making this:

Bread pudding rofl.
Portuguese-style!
with limited ingredients...

Close-up, out from the oven :D
It was... eggifying :/
but okay XD
even if it was eggifying XD
(note: it was eggifying because I had put in 4 eggs when they asked for 4 :x)

It didn't stop me from making more though :D

Unfortunately for you though,
I only have one photo of this bread pudding.

I didn't bother snapping anymore after that :x

Following that,
Mum had ordered a cake;
Cheesecake, for my sister's B-day.

And my sister asked for
Chocolate Crust
(like Secret Recipe) :D

So, I decided to make it extra special by making decorations!
(following YouTube's advise :)

Here was what I ended up with!

Homemade marzipan, with not-so-homemade colouring :c

Yes, it's a rose, and yes, the background of it is
loose marzipan.
There IS another uncoloured rose behind it.

In the end, I didn't place the rose on the cake.
(It looked too out of place rofl)

Now, say hello to ze CAKE!!

My second cheesecake!
(Ignoring other people's advice and following the recipe exactly) XD

See?
It's such a high cake :o
And delicious, too! :D


I know you want it! :D

Yessssss...
It was terribly delicious XD

Especially after 2 days of baking :o


As P Gip was here with us during my sister's bday,
she ordered one 2kg cake as well.

Chocolate though, this time.

:o

Okay, this one was nice, but it wasn't up to my expectations.
I think I should watch the baking time more closely x_x

This was the cake that I stayed up on until 3am in the morning XD
Well, P Gip tipped me as well so lol...


For the last closing picture of this baking expedition/food update,
I give you... PERSIMMON!!!

So cute, we couldn't really eat it lol.
XD

That's all folks!

*btw, HAPPY CHINESE NEW  YEAR!
(I'll be posting my trip to Malacca soon;
and properly wish you then.)

Til next time! :D

Finally!

Woo yeah!

Hey people! 'sup!

Yeah, I know.

I'm late (again!) with my Christmas greetings and New Year wishes.
So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! :D

There are many things that are worth blogging about between the times...
but I simply can't coz I'm currently undertaking some other businesses for now.

When I've finished with those, I will update you :D

For now, I'll just update about the 19th Dec 2011.

I brought this to my college :D
Can you read, can you read?! :D
"Merry Christmas" :D
*okay, ugly drawing, sorry, can't help it D:

It was supposed to be 2-tiers, but the cream was so good that I decided to keep one for myself :x
It was Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee!! :D

Another pic :D

Yeah, you read right.
"Welcome home Mum" in Squiggles :D
Why "Welcome Home"?
Cause on the 18th, my Mum was discharged from the hospital after her surgery.
Oh, don't worry; she went under the knife for fibrosis.

But now she's okay :)
Recovering well... just couldn't drive or work yet :x

I have another awesome chocolate-y picture to show you,
but now is not the time.

I've yet to transfer all finger-licking pictures from phone to computer for editing.
(Yes, THAT back-dated rofl)

For now, I have to leave.
See you, and have a blessed New Year :D

Random update


Hey blog!

Sorry, I'm too busy to actually do something with you.
But I promise during the hols, I WILL update you :)

Right now, I'm just too busy with my assignments and notes and lectures and
tutorials and baking and chatting and loading and thinking and sleeping.

So... no blogging :'(
Even your header has GOT to wait D: D: D:
with the animation and all D: gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

Well, on an update, I am already driving :D
myself to college. Alone :D

So... maybe I'll let you know more in the future? :)
I'll even let you know that I'll be probably starting off my business...
in college! :D

A cake baking business, lol.
I'll see you soon ;)

Ramblings

As I thought about it, I decided (again!)
that I'll not see you more than you should be.

Being narcissistic doesn't help anyone (unless you talk to douche bags =_=)
And anyway, I'll never work out with you, so!

This is goodbye....

Also Lord,
I hope that You will help me on this.
I feel like this is a difficult test for me,
and I'm really not happy that he is a test.

But on the other hand, I also kinda feel happy that you gave me this test
cause it would mean that I would be able to pass it (with flying colours, I hope! :)

And anyways, you wouldn't give us humans great tests that we can't handle.
So let this feelings of mine dissappear like Neopets and Ichumon.

Either You or him... as it can never be both.
Teach me to draw the line and stop where friendship ends.
This is what I pray,
Amen.

And from now on, I'll fill my dreams with outings with chele and SR,
and baking and assignments and a 4.0 GPA.

PS. chele, I know the power of peer pressure,
So I hope you'll be able to help me remember this if I ever go back against what I said here.
Please bear with me, kay? It's really difficult since I've stupidly proclaimed it
(for the first time) to the world...

With much love, :D
whiteice.

rofl!! I almost signed off with my real name XD

What I Did Last Sunday...

In the morning before going for 11.30am Mass,
my sister had complained to Mum...

After Mum asked her whether she has had her breakfast.
And Mon replied:
"I don't know what to eat. There's NOTHING to eat."
Yes, she TOTALLY said that =.=;;
As though I'm directly responsible for not baking any breakfast for my family on Friday.

Oh btw, did I mention that Friday's chieong-notes-mode totally failed??
Now you know.

So after Mass, I decided...

It's going to be a
BAKE SUNDAY
!!!

And guess what I was baking???

CARAMEL
CORNFLAKESSS!!

TA-DAHHHH!!!

Oh yeah, they looked slightly burnt,
but they taste awesome!! :D

Oh yeah, I made just enough to pack two and a half jars.
Unfortunately, whilst I was still cooling down the cornflakes,
My family swooped in like a flock of hungry hawks on them.

So I had to distract them with the half jar so I can salvage the two full jars :'(
Sorry, half jar. You will be honoured for your courageous effort.

But looking at it,
no wonder my family turned greedy on them XD
Who could resist the strong caramel taste in these cornflakes??

The best part:
They were NOT sweet!! :D :D

Dig it in!
I know you want ittt!!

Yup, they all came in single bunches like that.
All of them were bite-sized.
Aw... am I making you hungry now??
PS. My hand is NOT food, understand?!

In daylight.

The truth: everyone in my family loves them
(fresh from the oven).

Mon commented:

It's crunchy and the taste of caramel is rich.
Not super sweet, (it's) really nice.

Awwww :')
Thin as a stick, but seriously is a good food critic.

Even my DOG loves them! o_O
I know she loves it, she has her eyes fixed on it~~

Yeah, just goes to show what a successful baking expedition it was!!

And added surplus:
I didn't follow the recipe closely this time.
I put everything in the pan and stirred until the caramel formed o.o

Then I took the whole thing out and stirred to cool before putting all the eggs in.
And finally the cornflakes.

Then bake as usual :D

Next time, (when I get my personal induction cooker repaired)
I'll use this method again! :D

Also for the cream puffs XD

Time to look for a new skin! :D

Something Short

I think I ought to update a little about my current life o_o

College has already started, and yesh, I'm pretty busy.
Also, it's not like I'm trying to ignore my blog
(pity you la, blog; but I'm not doing this on purpose!)

You see, my internet has got some problem
(I'm pretty sure it's the internet;
EVERYONE's computer/iPhones at home are affected)

The internet gets connected for maybe 30 seconds,
then the line drops for 5 mins or more...
So in a way, my wonderful Internet Service Provider
should go harvest coconuts or something! rawr.

So, now I'm trying to spend most of my days at my college:
my beloved college lol

I've already cleared out my cupboard shelf soon I have to put things in :/
And in the midst of clearing out my wardrobe and putting in some
more office wear :D

Ah! Also, I'm going to go take my driving test somewhere this month,
so hopefully this time I can pass :D

Oh, and PS:
I'm going to do my best in studying and baking :D
*Especially now since I'm really trying to make chocolate stuff.

If they turn out successful, you know who to call for your Valentine's order! :D
*doing a little business here, self-promote XD
