Yin Yang Cake

Last night I baked another butter cake! But this time, mom was home with me and she indeed is a great helper. Of course where did I learn my baking from except from my one and only beloved mother right? =) 

Mom asked me to bake the cake a different way. Adding some pattern and not just plain dull butter cake. After I'm done with everything, before pouring the whole mixture into the baking tray, she add some Milo into half of the mixture. She was searching high and low for cocoa powder and vanilla essence but sadly we didn't restock them cos we haven't bake for so long. So she had to use Milo instead.

This was how the mixture looks like before bake. I called it the Yin Yang cake. Haha!

After one hour of baking. Yum yum! It looks yummy of course! But one thing I dislike about this cake is the smell. That very heavy smell of milk! I felt so yuck when I was doing the mixture. The butter that I was using has the super heavy smell of milk. And yes, if you do know me well enough you will know better that I do not drink milk.

Normally I use Planta to bake. But this time bf got me another type of butter. The one with the golden barrel picture. I'm so not touching the butter side of this cake. The Milo part, I just took a few bites and it's ok. Man I swear I'll NEVER buy that butter again! Nearly got me puking! =.=

Anyway, this cake is gonna be kept til Friday for that special getaway we're having =) I just hope bf's friends can help to finish it.

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...
