The M word. Macaroons and Meringues.

I badly want to try baking these two lovely delicacies. Macaroons and meringues. But sadly, the weather was cloudy and had rained earlier therefore, I have to put off making the meringues as such humid and rainy weather will cause the air in the egg whites to not form properly or something. =(


Macaroons on the other hand, called for almond powder which I think Econsave would not provide. Another thing that stopped me from baking is my oven. I still do not own a proper oven since my old one has a leak in on of the tubes. Haiya. Besides, my sisters did not seem too enthusiastic by the idea as one had a eaten a not-so-tasty macaroon before while the other was actually put off by the price of a macaroon which is around RM3.90 a piece. Very pricey but I had the privilege of eating one when they were first introduced and were not as pricey as they are right now.


Finally, I wanted to bake chocolate cookie but as I went to the fridge to take out a whole slab of butter, ta-da, empty, my house is empty of ingredients. Sheesh. Am lazy to drive to Econsave for the ingredients. So baking will be postponed to some other day. I really hope the oven will get fixed soon. *jab jab*



That's all for now. =( No baking, me mood no good. Haiz.

MasterChef craze.



=(


I am so so so envious of people who are able to own a huge ass(pardon my language) kitchen of their own. But I get pretty mad at them when they have such a vast kitchen but never once do they step in it or use it to its' full potential.With all the cutlery and pots and pans and oh-la-la. One of my favorite past time is cooking and baking. It used to be reading but since I can't afford to buy books, I have resorted to placing my free time on something else, something more fulfilling if I can say.


I may rant and go on forever about wanting to open my own restaurant/cafe someday but for now, please just settle for my nonchalant attitude about things in my life. =p


Food interests me. Even more interesting, is the people eating my food. People eating the food that I cook gives me the satisfaction that one can say arrives from the hard work of one's labour.


Food makes me happy. But seeing people eat my food in enjoyment brings about more pleasure and satisfaction. With that,I end my post for today.


Stay tuned!

Food.

Well, hello folks, it's been a long time.

First off, was talking with KF about my future job. Was hoping that it would be something that I would enjoy doing with the benefits of a good pay.

One of the things I would love to delve into would be either advertising, broadcasting or even public relations. Not to mention maybe even in the field of event management. Basically, I am still undecided. I have no idea what I am interested in therefore, all fields are appealing to me.

That's all for now. Sorry for the lack of pictures. =p Am not a photography person especially if it comes to the things not worth taking a picture of. You know what I mean.

I've just started my classes, and so far the timetable seems tolerable. =)

No Friday classes again. WAKAKAKAKA.

As usual, the hint of passion,... I have no words to express my feelings. It has been such a long time since I have written anything, and I blame it on my lack of discipline and laziness. I need to buck up to get good grades to get a good job and get a good life. Period.

=)

Will try to get my writing skills back. Not to mention the need of inspirations and motivations.

Before I end this post, the parking system in Taylor's has well, in a way gotten a lil better but not much can be praised. I feel the need to mention that you may think that Taylor students are well off which may be true or not, I do not know(hey, who am I to judge) but one thing I do know, we Taylor students rather park far away and walk under the blistering hot sun than pay the parking fee of RM3 for a parking spot in campus itself.

Woooohoo, am not afraid to say that I am one of those people! =)

I'd rather walk than pay RM3 which I could use for my food expenses. Not to mention the good exercise that I'd get from walking to classes.

PS:Am very hungry the past few days even though I had a good lunch or breakfast. Hmmm, must be the anacondas in my stomach. Sheeesh.

3 girls and 1 car.

2 is a company, three's a crowd. My eldest sis is staying with us now as she has graduated and is going to start working soon.

Just realized the amount of noise we made in my small car. We three singing to the songs on the radio on the top of our voices. =)

I kind of miss working.

Ok, just a short update.

Gym=awesome.

I am enjoying the exercise and will be very sad once I have to cancel my membership due to financial issues. =(

Tried going in to the sauna/steam room for the first time. It was fun. =) and pretty hot actually. It's like the sweat just forms on your skin.

Update ends.

Time management problems.

As usual, the apology for not keeping my promise in trying to update this forsaken blog as often as I would've loved to.

I have been quite busy, juggling my time as a driver, working in a tea shop and going to the gym with my "other half" (read Jasmine Joesph). =)

But so far, this gym thing has been working, as in we have been diligently going and motivating each other though the results are yet to be seen.

Got my results back. I did ok, could have done better if I had been MORE hardworking but there is a slight improvement.

Life has its' ups and downs.

Had small chat with some one about something. Had me worrying about the future. Easy to say that we should leave our worries about tomorrow for tomorrow but it is easier said than done.
One of the things I was afraid of was how society would look upon me, how I would be judge from the view point of many, from friends, family and loved ones. Have to decide whether I am ready for the future.

On a much brighter note, am trying to learn a popping/locking dance which I am struggling with the lack of formal training. Counting on youtube to be my teacher for the next few weeks!

Ok, that's all the creative juice I could squeeze outta me. Mind is blank at the moment but will try to update more, and soon.

Night people. Remember, the early bird gets the worm, or as I would love to say, the early human gets the best bacon. Mmmmmmmm. =)

Of pulled muscles and teddy bears.


Been working for almost 3 weeks now. Work has been pleasant, in a sense. Everyday I'm shuffling~ Haha, have to walk to Pyramid everyday from Sunway College. Tiring but the exercise is good.

Speaking of exercise, Jasmine and I had signed up for Fitness First gym a few months ago for a period of 1 month in which we are able to use all the facilities there. We had our first gym experience today and it was exhilarating. The personal trainers there are very nice and had motivated us to finish up the exercises though I had felt like a little kid in a sports race. The enthusiasm was a little overdone and in a way. With all the praises after we finished the training reminded me of how adoring parents and teachers would congratulate a 7 year-old kid for finishing up an egg-and-spoon race.

I have to say, my first experience in a gym has exceeded my expectations. I was expecting some place cold, smelly and moldy but I was met with clean fresh air, a wide range of equipments and the facilities there was breath-taking. From the swimming pool to the drinks counter was excellent. I was, I mean I am so tempted to pay up the RM500++ for a whole year of membership in Fitness First. Might consider it, and if my new timetable allows me, I would continue working part time to be able to earn some money for my gym membership. But maybe for now, I would most probably have to get a loan from my dad. =p



Meet Rusty. Or as Chrissie calls him, Russky. He was given to me by KF as a form of apology for making me mad. Even though he is mine Chrissie has adopted him as her own. Need proof?

There...


Just like a 5 year-old. Tsk tsk tsk...

That's all for now! Stay tuned!

Elude.

And thus, ideas and stories continue to elude me.

I had wanted to blog about something and yet, I procrastinated and now I have no idea what I wanted to blog at the first place. So yeah... Sorry.
