Maggie Magga Mag...

Hand delivered by a local courier company, I received this hand-made (by Serena) Magnet yesterday.

Thank you Serena!!

Thank you Ross!!

I've stucked the simple yet beautiful Magnet on my freezer door.

A Creative mind,

A Steady hand.

A Beating heart,

A Warming smile.

A Thoughtful gesture,

A Sincere move.

Thank you my Dearest Chio Bu,

And that, is you.

Veggies Good...

I got this Cabbage Flower on an impromptu basis on Wednesday. Though it’s the most expensive single stalk that I’ve bought to-date, the money isn’t the issue. It’s the LOOK.

I’ve only seen Cabbage Flowers in green color. But this one is slightly different. It not only has green and yellow, but there’s a light purple in the middle.

Unique. Unusual. Captivating. Inviting. Sweet. Girly. Pretty. And it smells like Butter!!!

As usual, I’ve gotten wonderful comments about my selection of flowers from colleagues. They have said that my taste in flowers are good. But of COURSE!! (hahaha…) Some even joked that they would bring it home to cook for dinner… And I’ll answer, “So little… Which part of your tummy is it gonna fill???”

Well……………. What can I say, except for, “GOOD JOB!! WELL DONE!!”

I've had soooo much fun during these 2 days. I've got so many surprises from Glendan.. Hehee..

I have a Limited Edition Customised Crumpler Bag, Flowers (a 1st), Cushions at the Sofa Seat during dinner at the Au Petit Salut located at Jalan Merah Saga, Personlised 'Melted Chocolate Cake' (from the Chef) not found in their menu, Lunch at Swiss Cafe at Swissotel the Stamford (away from the maddening crowd), Coffee and another Personalised 'The Pleasure' (personally prepared by Mr Laurent Bernard himself) also not found in their menu, indulging in more sin at Godiva @ Vivo City (Milk Chocolate Latte)....

We've had soo much of food and CHOCOLATES for these 2 days that we've both put on at least 5 kgs each.. Hahaa..

My brother and his girlfriend also gave me 2 boxes of Chocolates for my Birthday..

I've gotten well wishes from my dearest and closest friends..

I've been giggling and laughing all day and night and night and day..

This is one of the Best Birthday Celebration that I've had in years!!

I feel soo loved and pampered..

Thank you, darling..

Thank you, brother..

Thank you, dad..

Thank you mum..

Thank you, friends............

I love each one and every one of you....

Thank you all for making this day alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

KISS!!

A little indulgence...

I like the characters from Tim Burton's 'Nightmare Before Christmas'.

I especially like Jack and the Corpse Bride.

My mum is the superstitious kind. So she'll deem it inauspicious to have something like Jack or the Corpse Bride's figurines in the house.

Hmmm.. But guess what?? I bought a set of the small figurines. And they are placed on top of the shelf, behind my Mickey Mouse book end, in my room. Hidden from the watchful eyes of my mum. I don't want her to be nagging at me - blah blah blah..

I'm my mummy's naughty girl, a lovely girl, a filial girl, a cute girl, a adorable girl, lalalalalala..

I Tore Something...

I've got a torn muscle. Its located at my back. Left side.

Every single movement that I make, I get excruciating pain from my back. Even when I do not move, I get some nerves switching inside and the pain would be there.

I got this yesterday (Thursday) morning, even I just got up from bed. I turned to my right side and I felt the pain on my left. I ignored it and went about getting ready for work. Though the pain was getting worse by the second, I thought that I just had a bad sleeping posture during the night and so it was a normal ache (just like the ache you would normally get at the back of your neck if you didn't sleep in a proper position). By 9.30am, I was already sms-ing my partner and calling her and complaining to her thereafter, every few minutes how painful my back was. I tried some stretching in the office and in the toilet cubicle. But still, every movement I made was painful. I was in Pain and in Agony. I felt like crying!!

I had to help my brother out in his baking session last night. But, since I couldn't do anything, all I did was to give instructions to him and to my partner - what to do, how much to do, to pour, mix, etc. The bulk of the work was of course, done by my brother himself, for it's to be done with his own pair of hands, for his girlfriend of 4 years.

This morning, while I was getting up and out of bed, I cried. I couldn't move. My partner had to carry me and lifted me to sit up. But the pain at my bakc was really really bad.

EXCRUIATING PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I then decided that I had to go to the A&E Department at the Changi General Hospital at Simei. As I was on MC last Friday, I didn't want my boss to be mad at me for taking too many days off work like that. I needed someone or some department of a higher influence to certify that I'm really not fit for work and am in serious pain.

So, my partner brought me to the A&E. I was seen by Dr. Jason Ong. He dignosed that I have a torn muscle. I needed a lot of rest. He said it would take days or maybe weeks or a month or 2 to be well.

I've been prescribed:

• Diclofenac Sob Tablets
• Orphenadrine Tablets
• Methyl Salicylate Limiment (to apply on my back)

How am I gonna enjoy my weekend and the surprises that my partner has lined up for me in this state??

What kind of a Birthday gift to have - Torn Muscle.........................

Sigh

Tap-pi Tap-pa Tupperware...

I was given an early Birthday present on Wednesday. It came in the form of 2 Blue colored rectangular boxes from the Tupperware brand.

Do I like it? I like it, yes I did. I could fill my whole house with containers and such from Tupperware. They are guaranteed for life and durable. They are colorful and comes in different shapes and sizes. They come in pots, pans and everything related to the kitchen. They have baby stuff such as milk bottles, milk bottle warmers. They also have cosmetics from their Beauti Control range - Cleaners, moistureizers, toners, make-up, body, hand and feet scrubs and perfume too.

As a seller of their products, you'll get free containers should you be ordering above a certain amount of products. If you orangise Tupperware parties and have datings of amounts above, say, S$300, you'll get containers free too.

One such person is selling these stuff in my office - Cheapolina.

I, of course, have bought some of these containers from her too. Most recently, I bought a rice dispenser through her. She gave me a small round container as a free gift.

Obviously, the freebies doesn't stop here. She actually got me the 2 Blue colored rectangular boxes. You see, I actually do not mind receiving such stuff as my Birthday present, though my partner has deemed it Ridiculous and Not appropriate.

But please, give me something from the heart. From sincerity. Do not give me or anything something from your own home, Used or Not Used, Freebie or Not Freebie - it could have been given to you by someone else as a present and though you didn't like it, you kept it, waited for the next most appropriate opportunity, brought it out and give it to someone else as a present!! Hey, I'm not against recycling the stuff you have no use for from home. What I'm saying is, if you do not have the use of something that someone has given you, give it to someone else you know has more use for it. Not in the form of a present, but in the form of, "Hey, I have a juice-maker at home, but I hardly use it now. If you don't mind, would you like to have it??"

She would readily search her storeroom for some Unused containers, and sell it to you at the price recommended in the lastest catalogue, should you be requesting her to order the items for you. That's not new new. That's not nice. She should have said, "Hey, I have the ones that you want to buy at home. They are new. They are extras that I have no use for. If you don't mind, I can sell it to you." Then, we would have a choice of wanting it or not.

She may be hard for $$. She has 4 kids and a maid at home and her husband is in the Police Force. But, she has ALWAYS displayed to others in the office that she's quite well-to-do. She doesn't stinge on herself and her kids - she buys clothes from Marks and Spencer and would order bras and panties from Victoria Secrets, she would buy Guess baby clothes for her kids or from somewhere like Takashimaya, she would buy her pots and pans from Robinson and she would buy cosmetics from The Body Shop. She would show off all her purchases after lunch.

I could go on and on and on about her.

I could list everything that she does and says.

I could even tell you about how lazy she is, when she is supposedly to help me at work, but didn't do so in the end, coming out with excuses and such.

I could write a book and dedicate it to her.

But, nah.... This is enough for today, for tonight.

Eh, is my Birthday present nice???

My Birthday Cake...

I received a sugar coated rasberry flavoured donut from Cheapolina at 8.50am this morning.

I received my 1st Birthday cake thereafter at 9.10am from my receiptionst, Janet. I was surprised and touched. Janet also gave me a red packet. She said she's giving me the cake today coz she may not be around tomorrow and she doesn't want to give me a belated cake on Monday.

I was then busy taking pictures of my roses, 4 of which were bought by me on Monday morning and the other 4, given to me by my tea lady, Irene. I also got cracking on taking picture of my Birthday cake. When I opened the box, I was like, jumping for joy!! It's Warner Bros' Tweety bird greeting me from within the box!! The cartoon character cake is from Polar. Janet also gave me a Birthday cake last year and it was a bigger one. This year, I guess, though it was smaller, she gave me a red packet. So, the total amount would be balanced. Janet is a generous lady (though she tends to gossip here and there to this person and the next. But overall, she's still alright. I've had some little disagreements with her before. But, what the heck!! It's a everyday life thingy..)
Oh, btw, did I mention that I gave Janet a Swavoski crystal pendant for her ROM last Saturday?? I believe in genuinity gifts. Gifts choosen and given from the heart.

Hmm.. I didn't waste time in whipping out my Sony Ericsson and snapping pictures of my Birthday cake and of course, the donut lah..

I asked Cheapolina where did she get the donut from and she replied that she got it from Tanjong Pagar, where she got the muffins from... (its the Tanjong Pagar Plaza, i think...)
I of course thanked her for giving me such a lovely and sweet donut... ;p

OoohHH!! I forgot to mention that when Janet came over to me with the Birthday cake and red packet this morning, she said vey aloud, "Don't cut in the office, okay.. It's for you to eat at home and share with your mum!!" I asked her why and she said that my mum sooo poor thing, got no cake to eat if I cut in the office, coz sure finish one!! Hahaha.. Indirectly hinting to Cheapolina that she's NOT allowed to ta pao any of the cake home!!!!!!!!

Well, Thank You Janet..
And, ehh.. Thank You, Cheapolina..

Say It Out...

There are times whereby we just want to hug a particular someone. There are times whereby we just want to say something to someone. Regardless if it's a hug or a word, do it with haste and not make waste. Hug and speak out with sincerity for no one would laugh at your face, if they feel the warmth and the seriousness coming out from you. So, here are a few words that I would like to say:-



Say your "I love you's" today
For tomorrow it may be too late
Here and now, it is forever
Regrets my friend, are too hard to shake

Tomorrow may become never
Who knows when they could be gone
I've done this one time too many
Although I knew it was wrong

So "I love you" mummy and daddy
"I love you" my brother and sister alike
"I love you" my partner and my friend
And all who have influenced my life

I will always speak from the heart
I will speak every word as our last
I shall have no further regrets
When someone I love has passed

What Say You??

I came across this when I was browsing through my friend's blog.. Interesting read if you ask me... Go on, try it out.. Just for fun's sake..

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

What A Blastful Of Goodies...

My partner and I attended our friends, Zee and Lorraine's house-warming celebration today. Zee is a teacher, and she invited her present colleagues as well as some of her ex-colleagues to her house. Lorraine was the chef of the day, as usual. For she's a cook by profession, feeding the little children and of course the adults (teachers) in a primary school.

Came and went, there are probably about 40 people all in all. Zee's place was divided into 2. 1st half included people like my partner and myself, and of course other friends of theirs whom we both also know. The 2nd half of the house included teachers, their partners/spouse and of course, their kids. We were all introduced to one another. But of course, we won't be able to recognise nor remember their names. Zee and Lorraine's friends from Holland - an elderly couple visited them and are staying in their place. Ohhh.. And you know what? This couple loves Asian dishes and they can both take spicy food too!!

Every single food item was cooked by Lorraine herself. She cooked her speciality - Devil's Curry. The other food items included, very Spicy Squid (i don't eat squid so i do not know how spicy it was..), Stewed Beef, Mixed Vegetables, Beef Rendang and of course, Mutton Rendang.

I love the Devil's Curry...........!!

I love the Mutton Rendang......

I love the Beef Rendang...

I'm not so much of a Stew person but yes, the Stewed Beef is wonderful too....

Oh... Not forgetting the Mixed Vegetables - it tastes yummy too...

I had 3 rounds of serving all in all. And my partner had 2 servings. We had wanted to pack some of the Devil's Curry home for my mum and brother to try. But after all the hours of waiting, and all the people having their 2nd, 3rd or 6th rounds, we decided that it wasn't our luck this time and we'll never be able to bring some of it home.

We didn't know more than half of the people there. But everyone who walked through Zee's iron gate, was greeted with a very cheery, "HELLO!!" or a "BYE BYE!!" when they left. And guess what?? As Zee was talking to some of her teacher colleagues, the name, Tayyiba kept popping up. So, curious as I was, I asked from across the room to Zee, "Zee!! Who is this Tayyiba that you're all talking about? Which school was she formerlly from?" Zee said that she doesn't know but one of her teacher colleague said, "KC, I think." I knew there and then that the Tayyiba that they're all talking about was once my ex-classmate from KC. And when Tayyiba finally arrived with her husband (she married an ang moh guy) and had her son (7 months old) in her arms, I knew I was 100% right!!

Her son is such a lovely boy. His eyes are so blue. He has such a charming face. And best of all, he doesn't cry wanting for mummy when "strangers" like us carried and played with him. Don't you all reckon that he's a lovely boy?? Well, Tayyiba and I exchanged mobile numbers and we promised to meet up soon at another one of our friends' gathering.

And before we left for home, I requested that Zee unwrap the present that we bought. Lorraine loves the 16 litre Pot. And the rest of the presents included, a Hairdryer, a Airpot and a Dining Set.

It definately was a good and heart-warming house-warming that I enjoyed.

Thank you, Zee!

Thank you, Lorraine!

Relaxation Time..

After months of staying home during the weekends (of course, except for nightfall, where my Glendan and I would be at AB..), we managed to enjoy a cuppa Latte each and shared a slice of Chocolate Cake at Gloria Jeans at the basement of Raffles City after having done our shopping at CK Tang and Sun Lik @ Seah Street where we bought some supplies for baking (muffins and cookies).

I felt as if we were just starting on dating all over again. :)

We just sat there, talking and gossiping and people looking. My partner was also engrossed on the Sony Flatscreen TV perched against a make-shift divider, which was showing trailers from the National Geographic Channel that StarHub Cable is currently promoting.

Though we've only spent 6 months together, I felt as if it was already 6 years. Hahaa..

I wonder how it would be like 6 years down the road?? Would we both be like those "lao hiong" couple who still take pride in shopping and sipping coffee?? The only way to find out would be to check back here in 6 years time. Hahaa..

Over and out....

Eye to Eye...

My partner and I went down to town to do some shopping. We met at CK Tang and shopped at the Basement for about 20 minutes before deciding and confirming on the item that we both liked and wanna get for our friend for her hourse-warming gift. Choosing the item was easy for we both knew what we wanted to buy. Hence, a 20 minute job, done!!

We also got some wrapping paper stuff and ribbon to go along with it. It has got to be perfect in presentation. That's one of the common straits that we share. Whatever we give, it has to be from the heart and the presentation, Perrrfect....!!

Don't you think it looks lovely???

Body Parts Murder!!

My dad gave me loads of frozen meat and poultry. There are 3 layer pork, minced pork, lean pork, pork ribs, various kinds of fish, chicken bones, chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken breasts, ,mini eggs (yes, really mini mini eggs!! they seem to be sooo tiny... I don't know which part of my tummy is it gonna fill if I'm gonna have half boiled eggs for breakfast.. kekek), etc... Now, my whole freezer is well stocked with all kinds of meat, except for beef (mummy don't take beef). Not bad huh?!? I can save some $$ on marketing now. Hehee..

And really, don't you all think it looks like a Body Parts Murder case?? :P

Kidding, lah..

Now, anyone interested in ramaging my freezer??

Medi Medical Medicine..

I know I said I won't be visiting the doctor in my last entry. But I was really feeling terrible and not up to get out of bed.

I awoke a couple of times in the wee hours on Friday, all due to the uncomfortable thick yellowish mucus I have stuck in my nose (haha.. I know it sounds a little gross here.. But, hey! Someone sometime you would have experienced the same thing, right??).

Alright, back to the doctor thingy. Well, my Glendan woke me up this morning, but I couldn't get up and since I was not feeling good at all, I told her that I would be heading to the clinic later. She was alright with it. Coz she knows that I'm really not feeling well at all. I got a medical cetificate for today and the doctor gave me a course of antibiotics.

My brother was such a sweetheart!! He cooked porridge for me - sliced fish, eggs and minced pork porridge. This is the 1st time he cooked for me and I was happy and very touched by his gesture. Well, my brother can be naughty and rude at times, talk like no big no small, lazy (lazier than me lah... wahhhaaahaa), but when I asked him to do certain things, he would do and he was also concerned about me and showed it by cooking porridge for me. He kept asking m if the porridge tasted good.. Hahaa.. Silly boy that he is. Its not too bad, really. The picture may not seem so, but, yah, it's not bad lah.

Glendan came back after work and cooked dinner for us. My brother heated up the porridge for me, added water into it (coz i said that its too thick..). I told him that I not eating all of it. But he said, "Cannot! You must eat all." Hahaa.. So cute loh. He wants me to finish all that he cooked for me. Anyways, I told him that I be sharing it with Glendan, half a bowl each. He scopped them into equal portions and laid them on the table for us.

Glendan cooked chicken feet and peanut soup, fried some fish and pork ribs with tomato sauce. She finished the porridge, had some rice. My brother had rice. Me?? I only had 3/4 bowl of the porridge. Everything tastes so bland now... :(

Send me some Get Well wishes!!

Peee Peee Pooo Peee Pooo....

The flu bug is back, yet again.

I've actually gotten myself a flu vaccination some time back in October last year. It was supposed to up the level of my immune system and expel all the wanted and dreadful germs and virus. It was good for the next couple of months. Every time I had colleagues and/or friends sneezing, blowing and coughing their lungs out in front or around me, I would be alright. At the very most, I would feel a little queezy for a day and the next I would be fine and well again.

But, in recent months (ie. 3 months ago..) I started getting my flu on a regular basis. I remember clearly, during my younger years, my mummy would always bring me to a childrens' specialist doctor in the Katong area (I was already getting the flu quite often back then...). The clinic was ALWAYS crowded. Each visit would set my parents back at an estimate S$80 - S$100. Oh mannnn!!! Was I a rich kid (in terms of monetary lah).. Hahaaa..

Ehhh.. Okay, back to the flu vaccination thingy. So, I've been to my neighourhood doctor twice already. And there would probably be a third time. I'm trying to self-medicate coz after the years of experience of recognising the names of the medicine, I have no problem at all. I don't want to waste my darling's hard earned money on consultation and 4 days worth of medicine. I still have some left overs and though I'm already running out of them, I can always crawl over to Guardian Pharmacy and visit some pretty Pharmacist on duty. Heheheee....

Anyways, I can't really remember what else I wanna write here. I'm having a runny nose and fever at this moment. My brain is clogged up.... Eh, would that mean I can get away with "murder" now??

I hate being sick... Urgghhhhh..........

Or do I??

Dinner was simple and Tasty....

I prepared dinner last night.

It's fried instant noodles with eggs, sliced chicken meat, parsley and chilli padi. By the side, we had a cheese sausage each. Drinks were Blueberry Iced Tea and Coke.

Oh gosh!! My blog is turning into a food blog............ Oh well.......

Soooooo, what's for dinner today, darling???

Sticky Chewy Walnut Brownies.....

I baked another round of brownies last night. I used a different recipe and added in walnuts.

As you can see from the shots, I Really Really Baked them and I did them from scratch. I did not buy them from the bakery downstairs, in town, around Singapore island nor around the region.

I brought some to the office for my colleagues (selective ones only - so be nice to me....!! Hahaa..) and my partner brought the rest to the office too - for her mum and one of her aunt's to try.

I've gotten a mix of comments as well as compliments from my testers....

• Looks dry, yet its chewy and sticky
• Tastes a bit burnt
• It's sweet, yet not too sweet - just nice
• 1st round of brownies nicer - softer

Hmmmm, I'm trying out the different styles and recipes of brownies. I'm sure all of you have different likes and preferences to your brownies. Well, I cannot cater to each and everyone's individual taste buds, but, I'm willing to try each and every different one out in order to perfect the every category. Give me a little time, okie??

Ehhh, who knows??!!?? I may rent a stall somewhere and sell my 100% home-made brownies to others (need to cast my nest out of my comfort zone, mah...).

Oh yes!! I have just gotten a request from our friend Grace, to have a batch of muffins made for her and her partner and also some for her to bring home for the kids... Woo Hoo!! She wants mixed fruit muffins. Hence, I suggested Apple Cranberry Muffins. What do you think??

Still Good - It's True...

This is my home-packed lunch for today. They're left overs from last night's dinner. I prepared the rice and the steamed egg with minced pork. My partner prepared the stir-fried prawns with finely chopped pasley, thinly sliced ginger and chopped garlic and piggy's liver with thinly sliced ginger and chopped garlic.

The rice still soft, the steamed egg with minced pork still tasty, the liver still tender, the prawns still crunchy..

I know from the picture, the rice looks more like fried rice. But nope, it's not. I actually squashed and mixed up the steamed egg with minced pork together with the rice. I've been having this dish (ooohhhh.......... one of my favourite dishes from my younger years. I used to have only this with plain rice. i'll sit in front of the television set with these on my little coffee table, sitting on the floor and staring at the television screen, waiting patiently for my cartoon programmes to start...)

And you know what?? My dad and bro eats it the exact same way as I do!! Hahaa.. It runs in the family lah...

My Success Story... The Chocolate Muffins!!

As I awaited for the "results" of having the fruit of my labour be tasted and strutinised last night, I smiled and laughed and made small talk with my friends and partner. Haha... Sounds like I was awaiting for judgement day like that huh??... Kekek

Well, guess what??

I got nothing but compliments............

• The muffins are nice!!
• The muffins are chocolatey!!
• The muffins taste just right!
• The muffins do not taste too sweet!!

Thank you all who tasted my Chocolate Muffins.

Food and Deserts...

Last night's dinner prepared by my Partner - Pan Fried Honey Pork Chops and Hash Browns with Shredded Morzzarella Cheese sprinkled on top of it......

Deserts

The 3 bowls of deserts were from Lau Pat Sat. Red Ruby; Chendol and Mango Sunrise.. Lovely mix of bright colours, I must say.... They're lovely to look at, aren't they??

Cooking, Grilling & Baking Days...

I've been using my oven every weekend since I've shifted in to my new place.

I've used it to grill herbal chicken, rosemary chicken and pork chops. Eh, but of course not the oven for the pork cutlet lah... Hahaa... Just another picture for you to salivate.

These are just some of the pictures of food that my Partner or myself have been preparing. Enjoy!!

And I've started on baking. I baked plain Brownies on Tuesday night and today, Chocolate Muffins..

I've always enjoyed baking. But without a oven at my old home, I wasn't able to do so as freely as I wanted. Now that I've bought an oven, I'll be able to do all kinds of grilling and baking. And if it wasn't for my younger brother, I wouldn't have started on baking at such short notice. Well, he and his girlfriend are celebrating their 4th year anniversary on the 24th November 2006. And his girlfriend wanted something different from him. He cracked his brains and asked for my opnions. Finally, he decided on making fruit agar agar and on my suggestion, Brownies / Muffins. He then decided on having Muffins after deliberating on Muffins and Cupcakes. I told him I don't know how to bake Cupcakes just yet. But Muffins, I can. So, yeah... Today, I decided on baking Muffins - Chocolate Chip Muffins and Chocolate Chip and Rasin Muffins. He came over earlier with my dad and younger step-sis. They tried my Chocolate Chip and Rasin Muffin and yes, it's nice!! Hehee..

Really!!! They taste nice leh... Not too sweet. The texture is just nice - not too wet or dry.

I've got more ideas in baking now. Our friend, Grace suggested that I bake a Fruit Cake for Christmas and Egg Tarts for Chinese New Year... Hmm.. It is a good suggestion. I would also want to try baking cakes.

As of now, any orders for Muffins??
As I'm using biggie cups, my Muffins are bigger in size.. Hence, I'm selling it at S$3.75 a piece.............

Bakin' Browns....

This is my 1st attempt at baking brownies. I know that they don't look fantastic at all. But, well, what do you expect on the 1st try?? Definately not like those you would taste at the bakeries or at cafes. But, ehhh, it's still edible lah...

Hmmm... They have been over-baked. You see, I've not done any baking using my new 1 month old oven before. Hence, I'm not too sure of how high the temperature would be.

The end result??

• It's more like a brownie-cake.. Haha..
• It can also be called a virtual-brownie...
• It's bit dry..
• It's nice..

I'll be experimenting with more receipes and I'll be kind to distribute them to friends for tasting ("my guinea pigs") and comments ..

No tummy ache one.. I swear!!!

Heheeeeee.... Yummy Yummy...

Hmmm.. Is it Really Beta??

I just switched to this Beta version and it's already starting to get me grouchy.

I don't seem to be able to login using my previous Username.

I don't seem to see much of a difference other then the logging in and the templates and of course, the adding in more pictures or whatever moving thingys they have in there.

Maybe I'm feeling sleepy now.

Maybe I'm feeling impatient.

Maybe I'm feeling all this coz I'm having my mensus now.

Okay, I know most of my readers are females and of course there are some males reading my posts too. Excuse me, gentlemen, but forgive me for mentioning the "M" word - Mensus.......

It's such an inconvenience and it makes me grouchy. I experience discomfort in certain areas. I have back aches. I get a quick fuse. I get migraine. I suffer from cravings. I get water retention. I have mood swings. I suffer from cramps. LalalaleeleeeLalaleelalalaaaaaa................. And a wole lot more of other stuff day in & day out.. Oh!! Did I forget to mention Gastric?? Yes!! I suffered from terrible gastric pains this late afternoon in the office - the pain was excuriating!!

HELP MEEEEeeeeeee...............................................
