Day 4. An ambitious day !!!

Today being saturday, i had a long day ahead of me.  Made myself a hanger for my earrings.  Nothing extra-ordinary, just practical.

This is where i keep all my earrings, tangled up and ... well, i can imagine your expression.. XD


So, i decided to put some order into my life. I organized them.  Voila!!!

 Now, i don't 'scramble the earrings around...looking/hunting for the other matching piece, all well displayed and within reach.


9.30am
Went to the wet market to hunt for pineapples and bought 2 as the recipe required.  Yupe yupe yupe.. gonna make pineapple tarts today.  Managed to get the pineapples and happily went home to prepare the pineapple jam for filling.

Boy, I did not know it was rather a test of patience , cooking the pineapple over a slow fire until it is jam-like.
Left the whole thing to cool down before i prepare the pastry.
Doing this for the first time, i guess i can say good job! but i don't quite like the taste.  Not really like the ones my mum made.   Will defintely get her recipe and try again.

Before baking...
This is after baking...  The texture is good but is rather bland..  Definitely gonna get mom's recipe.... and will try again... afterall, I still have a lot of left-over jam.

That's all for today/tonight.  Eyes are blurry now... gotta go have a hot hot shower and then jump into my cozy cozy bed.  Till we meet again tomorrow.

Nights and thanks for dropping by.

Day 2 Pound Fruit Cake

I have decided to try baking today and hunt for a very simple and easy recipe.  It only uses 6 ingredients. Eggs, flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and dried fruit.


But I am puzzled with the hole in the cake..... any advice.  Just for the fun, i sprinkled 2 tablespoon of whiskey on top of the cake .  Sampling will be done by Aaron.

That's all for today.  Still comtemplating whether to try the Pineapple Tarts or not.. see first la..



Good night, everyone.

2011 a new year.. a new project!

No, not a new beginning..I don't think so.. I had enjoyed 40plus years of good health, good family, good friends, good everything and I believe that there are more to come.  Haha.. looking back at all those years really brought back good good feelings, tears and  *stamping down of foot* gestures a few times.

This year is an entirely different year altogether for me cos I am not lecturing anymore and will be doing stuffs home-based.  With ample time on hand, and being "at home", I am looking forward to NEW things, SO..

this year, i am looking at a challenge..yes!!! created by Me for Me...

I was rather inspired by Julie and Julia


 and i am going to do sth abt that to meself... A craft a week, or a recipe a week.. or a craft and a recipe a week.. What do you think?


(2 hours later)  I'll go for a craft OR a recipe a week.  I'll post update here to keep an accountability of myself.  So here goes.......



many hours later
Ta-da...This card was done after 9pm.  I'll have to improve on it though..  I want to carry the message and reminder that the P6SS Kids opened the door of their heart to Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour. 


(One day later ) The finished craft..not really a card ...

Better? completed Jan 20@9.30pm
