i miss k..

k = 咔-啦 O-K = singing session! hee..

mingli sis and my meetup for k session has been planned long ago but not yet fixed a date.. apologies sis.. i miss k & u so much.. let's meet up for k soon k?

hopefully we can meet up in your birthday month and sing our hearts out.. oh yes, remind me to sing this song.. i so love the series.. do not know if you have time to watch 敗犬女王.. i cried at the last episode.. love it!!!

dear dear let's sing this song at the next k session with mingli sis..

i miss both of your singing.. the queen and the king.. their voices will melt you.. sometimes im wondering what they are doing now.. they should be already a professional singer earning from their passion in singing..

dear dear's western dinner..

it's been sometime i cooked dinners at home on weekends.. asked dear dear what he feels like having as we were shopping for groceries preparing for dinner tonight.. he said he feels like eating western..

of course i said no problem though i never really cooked chicken chop before.. well, i seen my grandma cooked.. so i think that helps.. hehe..

but well those who knows me, knows its so unlike me to cook such unhealthy foods.. but since its like a challenge for me.. and i wanted to show him i can cook western.. well, i did it at the expense of an oily kitchen and oily pots and plates to clean later on.. ha ha ha.. anyway, i told dear dear this is the 1st and perhaps the last time i cooked such unhealthy foods.. deep fried dinner for him..

well, the joke of the day was.. after laying the table, the chicken chop, the french fries and the fish fingers.. i told dear dear, ok let's eat.. he asked? what about the rice? i thought, rice?? western food is chips and chicken chop and french fries mah.. got rice one meh?? hahaha.. well i think the portion is too small for him too.. so i went to cook brown rice for him.. usually i mix it with white rice but i told him.. too unhealthy.. too oily.. 100% brown rice.. well, i guess he is too hungry to protest..

photos to share:

i love prawning!!

fri night went prawning with the guys.. though i was tired but i had such great fun!!

it was my 1st time touching the prawn rod on my own.. at first, i was scared to touch the rod.. okok.. those who know me well enough will know im very gu niang.. but i went with dear dear's friends.. don't think they know im such a gu niang.. i screamed and shouted at every catch... well, that's me.. sorry if i made you embarrassed.. but well i cant contain my excitement and scardy self.. hahaha..

but i made a great improvement, i managed to put the bait myself at the last few rounds.. thanks to yp and ant who taught me some techniques on prawning to get the catch.. hahaha..

so when's the next time? so looking forward.. we must go together because i still do not dare to touch the prawn when i get a catch.. do not know how to poke to bbq it..

some photos:

our supper at 4:30am!!

i looked so tired but man, its 3am.. i seldom stay up so late.. but i had so much fun!!!

it was her wedding yesterday.. was so touched by Alfred and her thank you speech at the church..

understand what she has undergone before her wedding.. glad that it was all over.. Jesus is real.. He takes cares of everything.. Amen!

her friends were great.. a special item at the church wedding and a special item during the dinner reception.. her emcees were great!! the church and at the dinner reception.. his brothers are great! they helped to clean the mess after the church reception.. they took care of the dinner.. everything..

sis, you really made an impression and had great friends.. even the open door angpow, they gave them back.. no, i am not sour for not having the angpow.. but i do understand his money is my money.. how much he gave at the door is not his alone.. how kind!

glad to see mummy doing well.. take care till we visit you again after my dear dear's exams...

i hope in future, my little one can bake with me enjoying parenthood bonding.. well, the thought came after i was in my baking frenzy mood.. hee..

i miss my blog.. in my bazing frenzy mood..

it has been awhile since i last blog.. been posting pictures onto facebook..

have been attending my baking lesson every saturday without missing any lesson.. been baking what i have learnt.. so far so good.. more recipes i have obtained.. initially when i enrolled, the cakes that was being taught did not interest me, however, because of my father who kept pestering me to enroll into a baking class so i went..

i have since baked sugee cakes, mixed fruit scones, cheese sponge cake, brioche, onion bread, old fashioned prune cake, carrot cupcakes.. and going to bake a light cheese cake later.. so far, the mixed fruit scones, sugee cake and cheese sponge cake is great!! thanks to my baking mates, last sat was vesak day and we thought there was lesson as the trainer didnt annouce there was no lesson so we went.. met each other at the door and realised it was not opened.. so they invited me to their place where i got wholemeal flour, topflour and milk powder to bake the carrot cupcakes and the cheese sponge cake.. hee.. it was very kind of them.. and it so happened that we live so nearby, just few blks from each other.. hehe.. more to share..

i have semolina and shortening to give them too.. i understand the thought on buying 1kg of flour but each time the recipes only calls for 100 - 200 gms.. i do not like to keep my baking drawer so filled with opened flour.. so untidy.. when you bake, you will understand this frustration.. i have self raising flour, plain flour, cake flour, bread flour all used halfway..

ok, here goes.. some of my bakes and my trainer's bakes..

her sponge cake topped with whipped cream and jam filling..
her old fashioned prune cake..

her scones with haw fillings..

my brioches.. aka sweet milk buns..
not that successful though as i do not have the kenwood mixer with the hook.. hint hint

her crown cake..
it was amazing seeing how she cut the shape into crown..
at the same time, she demonstrated butter cream
a tad too oily & sweet for my taste..


her bread pudding coated with cinnamon..
so going to make it for christmas this year end..

her japanese light cheese cake... overturn..

my mixed fruit scones.. i baked it while my in-laws were at my place..

i brewed hot english tea and served it with my scones fresh from the oven.. they loved it!

her bread..
demonstrating the different shapes and patterns and filings..

my japanese light cheese cake..

well, im quite satisfied with the results.. it requires steam bake..

i just love it when it doesnt crack..
