School work has been hectic and I'm really lacking of sleep ( I sleep for 5 hours daily) :(

Despite the heavy workloads, I managed to take some time off for baking.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

I have never tried carrot cake before the day of my grandma's 76th birthday celebration. I will sneer at it when I heard of 'carrot cake' cos I'm a die-hard fan for chocolate cake.

After I tried it out on my granny's birthday, I fell in love with the delectable taste of moist cake & cream cheese frositng!

My 1st attempt is a success! The texture and the sweetness are adequate :) *self-satisfactory*

Chocolate cheese cake

Apologise for the mediocre photo quality. Anyway, it wouldn't bother anymore when the it tasted so superb! The combination of chocolate and cream cheese is a perfect match. Oh... I'm so conceited. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Digressing... Please let me shout out, "I NEED A MACBOOK PRO!". My "aging" laptop is getting cheesy with its functioning. A random cut-off of network connection, a breakdown in time update, and some  programs are not working.

The most piss-off problem is not enough disk space. I really want to kick the ass of the f***ing idiot who stole my memory card in NP helpdesk. To hell to that idiot! Argh!!!!
I'm not being vindictive, please put yourself in my shoes :(


I'm really tired....

76th, going on and on...

Back from Ipoh to celebrate my granny's 76th birthday, a mixed feeling of bliss and gloom stirred inside me.
Happy in the sense that granny make it to her birthday after she was bed-ridden with severe stroke 1 year ago,  and we were told by the doctor that granny would leave us anytime.

Granny has overturned the doctor's guestimation, she makes it to her big day.
Seeing that granny lying on her bed, I pondered about how active she was 1 year ago. Yet, she landed on this stage which she cannot respond to anything.


Almost every relatives came for her celebration, giving blessings that she will recover soon.


Preparation

Peng yi making her best dish- "dan choi goh"

More posings during work

3 hardworking mums going far to fetch the vegetarian dishes

Dishes back!

Mum's thai style tofu salad

All vegetarian dishes, no killing to contribute more blessing to granny.

My strong and "steady" Yeen yi helping granny to sit up.

There's only 1 photographer, and that's me. That tells why I'm missing in the pictures :(

Tired granny lying back down.

All candid shots of beloved cousins! They are so fun loving!

The adults "gan bei-ing"

I have to 'bestow' and confer Peng yi with the most hardworking helper for the day. She was the one who work from the start to the end.

My resolution for 2011- Granny can recover soon and attend all my cousins' oncoming weddings!

Rice for thought!

Have you ever been so hungry that you rummage your kitchen, turning it upside down without thinking of the consequence of getting dressing-down and smacking from your mum?


Well, it sort of happened to me, but not to the extent of turning my kitchen upside down. Instead, I will stuff myself whatever I can find in the kitchen, not bothering about the calories that build up in my body that give spare tyres, and perhaps sometimes I may do something which you may never think of when I'm so frustratingly hungry...

One is never enough! Best to have all 4 flavours!

I really do wish such occult superpower can happen to me when I'm super hungry! Yes, perhaps in my dream. Lol.!
