Butter Cake

It's a baking Sunday!!! Yep I went back to baking. Hehe =) I used to love baking so much cos I helped out my mom with baking when I was lil. Brings back old memories back at the shophouse we stayed. Mom will be the one weighing all the ingredients needed and doing the mixture while I'll help with beating the egg whites. Hehehe =D

I enjoy baking but I just dislike cleaning up. Haha! Who likes to clean up anyway =P

So, last week I asked mom for the butter cake recipe. Then I got all the ingredients except for the baking sheet and flour. So I asked for mom's help to get those ingredients. Mom is awesome when I'm lost. 

Today bf came over to help me with baking. It's my first time baking a cake without mom around to tell me what to do and how to do it. Cos I'm so used to baking that I already know how to mix the ingredients and how it should look like after the mixture so it's my turn to ask bf help with beating the egg whites. Hahaha!

After about one and a half hour of preparation, the cake is ready to bake!

Mixture of sugar, butter, egg yolks, flour and lastly egg whites! This was put into the oven and baked for an hour. Had to constantly check it after 45mins of baking just to make sure it's not over-baked.

One hour later. The yummy aroma filled my whole house. Bet my neighbours are slurping away. Hahaha!

A lil overbaked at the side but the center of the cake is just right.

Time for nom nom nom!!! Want a bite? Hehehe~

Til my next baking session~ Not giving out recipe cos it's my mom's recipe =P All you have to do is just google it up~ Hehehehe

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
