# home-made CNY cookies







may i present to you, my home-made Kueh Bangkit and Green Pea cookies. totally forgotten to take any picture of the process coz i was too engrossed in the baking. it was like fighting a war...... but anyway i m glad they turned out ok. (at least they tasted ok to me)



not sure if Dearie will likes it, he's kinda fussy when it comes to CNY goodies. he doesn't eat pineapple tarts, nor the almond cookies. so...... there's only Kueh Bangkit and Green Pea cookies left on the menu for me to choose from. (that's all i can bake)



let me share my recipes:



Green Pea cookies ( gotten it fr here )



Ingredients:
80 gm. Plain flour
40 gm. Cornflour
80 gm. Roasted Green Peas (buy the snack green peas and blend till fine)
50 gm. Icing Sugar
80 - 100 ml. Corn oil



Method:
(1) Mix all the ingredients together, add corn oil and mix well. Rest for 15 mins.
(2) Roll dough into small round ablls and put onto tray and bake at 150C for about 15 - 20 mins.(3) Leave onto rack to cool before storing into containers.



Kueh-Bangkit Recipe (from here)

Ingredients:

Tapioca Flour 1000 gms

Eggs Yolk 4

Fine Sugar 350 g

Grated Coconut 2

Vanilla Essence 2 tsp





Method:Dry-fry tapioca flour over moderate heat for 3 minutes. Then lower heat and continue frying for another 2 minutes.

Beat egg yolks and sugar till dissolved. Squeeze grated coconut with muslin cloth to obtain coconut milk. Boil coconut milk with 2 tablespoons sugar taken from the quantity stated in the above for 3 minutes.

Leave the boiled coconut milk to cool. Then add egg and sugar mixture to blend.

Divide the mixture into 2 portions.

Add half the tapioca flour into one of the portion. Then the remaining tapioca flour to the other.

Knead dough until pliable. If dough is sticky, add 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour to it. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour onto formica table or board.

Roll dough out to 0.5 cm thick and cut the shape with cookies cutter.

Sprinkle tapioca flour on baking tray before placing the cookies on the tray for baking.

Oven temperature 180C / Gas No. 5 for baking about 20 minutes or until light cream in colour.





time to head for my bed, super tired after all the baking.





this is for the Chan family =)

#世界唯一的你

是你第一眼我就认出来
这是命运最美的安排
是我让你过长的等待
我们只要现在深爱
幸福就来

恨我来不及参于你的过去
抱歉让你等待
我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

这个世界唯一的你
是我拥有的奇迹
对我说的一字一句
都是我们的秘密
紧紧拥抱唯一的你
无可救药的坚定
就是世界与我为敌
我也愿意
我什么都愿意

过去所有的悲哀
都只是寻觅我唯一勇敢
真爱照亮了漆黑的夜晚
寻找了一次一辈子
再不分开

恨我来不及参于你的过去
抱歉让你等待
我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

对我说的一字一句
都是我们的秘密
紧紧拥抱唯一的你
无可救药的坚定
就是世界与我为敌
我也愿意
我什么都愿意

我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

哦...就算让我伤尽天理
我什么都愿意为你
紧紧拥抱唯一的你
无可救药的坚定
就是世界与我为敌
我也愿意
我什么都愿意

# Beautiful Wednesday


how can anyone resist the beauty of sunflowers? look at them, ain't them beautiful? i love sunflowers, they are the prefect representation for happiness.


anyway, these sunflowers weren't mine. they were for my beloved girlies, Lyn, Yun and Wens. it's really great to meet them up for lunch, shopping n catching up after sooooo longggg of not getting together (as in juz the 4 of us).


i didnt go for tuition after bidding gdbyes to them, i met up with Dearie for dinner. its nt that i m not putting my priorities right, it's juz that i really had to noe if things were ok after having such a bad tuesday.
ok la, i m a irresponsible tutor. =p


sad to say i m not feeling guilty at all for missing the tuition session. i love the kids but i seriously cant stand the centre for delaying my pay time n time again. this is the 4th time and i m with them for only 6 mths!


i had a great time with Dearie, even though 1/3 of the time was given to 周公. (meaning we were slping) but still, it's a joy to be able to lie besides him and watch him sleep.



Dearie, thanks for everything.
*horrified look* we got to meet up on a wkday, does that mean that i wun be spending my wkend with you? =(

A Moment Like This

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feelin'
That we met before
So, tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people wait forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well, I may be dreamin'
but still lie awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

Could this be the reign of love above
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So, let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Some people spend two lifetimes
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this




sometimes i cant help it but to think that all these seem too good to be true and i m so scared that it will juz slipped through my fingers. if all these only belong to this beautiful dream of mine, i prayed tat i would never have to wake up.

# Love this song

When you're gone

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
and the clothes you left, that lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah yeah

And all I ever wanted was for you to know
everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe
I need to feel you here with me
Yeah...

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear, will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you...........

# A song for you


BORIS GARDINER
I WANT TO WAKE UP WITH YOU

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you

I wanna lay by your side, baby
I wanna feel every beat of your heart
And throughout the night
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you

All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waiting till the right one came along
You can share the love that I've been keeping, baby
You can put the music to my song
I wanna wake up with you

I wanna reach out and know that you're there
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you
And throughout the night I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you
# Pre-CNY shopping


mum saw this top from a magazine... and since she likes it.


i guess getting it, will definately make her day... and seeing her happy, it made mine as well. =)

# Come What May

# Coffee session with my bestie!




after finishin a bttle of red wine by myself last night, coffee is what i need to sober up.


let's meet up for dinner soon! i would love to see the guys meeting for the first time and what kinda topic they would talk abt. =p
# Can one ever make someone to love you?


你不开心的时候,我会陪着你难过。你开心的时候,我会陪你笑。无论你做什么事,我都会支持你。我开心的时候,我会希望你能够和我一起分享。我不开心的时候,我会因为知道有你陪在我的身边,再苦也会变得不再难受。

sometimes, it's so scary to care for someone this much. coz as much as u wanted it to happen, u are juz as afraid it will go away at the same time.

Thank God I Found You

I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found unvarnished truth

I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

Thank God I found you
I was lost lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Cause baby I'm so thankful i found you.

I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me
I can't survive
Don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right
Cause I need you in my life(

Thank God I found you
(I'm thanking you)
I was lost lost without you
(so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Cause baby
I'm so thankful I found you.

See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows
That we were destined to shine
After the rain to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

Thank God I found you
I was lost lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful I found you

Thank God I found you
I'm lost lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful I found you




To my Dearest,

# New Year's Eve

hello to 2008 and gdbye to 2007. it was a peaceful new year's eve night for me. no major drinking, no wild partying, no crazy crowds. i spent mine with Dearie and 3 of his buddies with their gfs/wife at Kbox Kallang Leisure Park. well, it was the company that made the night complete. i m never a room ktv fan, except for party world session with Lyn, heehees. so pardon me for all the yawning ( sorry guys =p ) . even though i was a lil' bored, but i did enjoy myself.




the plan to surprise Dearie failed badly after realising that he needs to be home early the next morning. so ....being the honest Serene (quoted fr Lyn), i decided to make the confession of me booking a room at Hotel Rendezvous.

i m offically broke after this splurge... -_-''''''' ......but as i say, as long as Dearie likes it, everything is worth it. =)
