    Too much stuff been happening and I can barely stand it.. Since ages ago, people says that Year of Rabbit is a good year for doggies... why I dont feel it???

    Early this year, mum admitted into hospital for near to 45 days due to the wound on her ankle and 2 weeks back, bob admitted into hospital as well due to tendency of a mild stroke... On the day itself, he went to the usual GP @ Marsiling for his skin medicine.. He told the doctor tat he was experiencing numbness on the right side of his body.. the doctor immediately wrote a referrral letter and send him to KTPH for some scans.. Did CT and MRI Scans and the results was ok but there was a prick pressing on his nerves and that is one of the reasons why he is experiencing numbness and tiredness on his body..

    Stayed in the hospital for 3 days and had wounds all over his hands due to injections hai... what to do.. after coming back from hospital, he was still feeling weak and nothing could be done coz the surgery is not a minor one.. and if it fails, he could lose the ability to talk or even recognizing us... and if he go thru the surgery, he will lose like 40% to 50% of his neck mobility.. *Confused*

    Nothing we can do.. but to tell him drink more chicken essence so that he will be more energetic.. drink more milk to see if it helps to build up abit of resistance in his bones... all these methods seem late.. but hope it helps a bit...

    All these enough to bother me liao and so now dont bother myself with other stuffs... work, earn money.... give parents better life and most imptly ... I hope that their health gets better... =)

    NOthing else matters... my Ah Lims matters...

    Ever since I chanced upon the Nigella's muffin recipe - I have been baking muffins way too often.. added variation like mixed fruits, chocolate muffins with chocolate chips and chocolate chips muffins.. all turn out to be well received by my friends .. *beams*

    Last week, I couldnt get the chocolate chips at the supermarket and so decided to buy the mixed fruit to make mixed fruit muffins... Same way and same ingredients with the chocolate muffins that I baked but it turn out to be hard like stone.. wondering why~~ Sms my shifu and ask why izzit so and she told me tat have to soak the mixed fruits or raisins for ard 10 mins before adding to the mixture.. haha!! I did not do this step at all!!

    And so one week later.. I decided to try again but with the additional step of soaking the mixed fruits... glad it came out well and fluffy!! =)

    This recipe is definite keeper!! I like!!

    I have always heard from people that when u grow older - your friends become lesser.. To me, I do not have such worries coz there are always family and relatives (cousins) who you can fall back to.. They are not the spare tyres - they are the forever won't worned out tyres.. I have got my ST Loves.. Evils and a couple of close friends who I really feel blessed having them.. but as times goes by, there are just a handful friends whom u want to share ur secrets with .. and to be frank.. I feel most comfortable when I am with ST Loves... shorter span of friendship but they are a really nice group of friends to be with.. they are not just simple colleagues - I would say they are a group of friends who I really treasure..

    I do not know what is the rationale of this post but I guess I just wanna post something here! Hahaa!! U need not wear mask when u are with ur true frens... when I am with them - we are naked.. we talked about everything under the sun.. haha!! I guess this is the type of friendship that are really real and sincere.... =)

    Ok .... End of my post... after these few lines.. I still dunnno why I post this...

    Till then~

    Wanted to bake a cake but didnt want to try a normal butter cake.. then this cake came to my mind.. Condensed Milk Pound Cake~.. Normal butter cake receipe with variation (Condensed milk) added... the house was full of condensed milk fragrance when I was baking this cake.. came out with good reviews from friends and family.. But I already forgotten where I got this recipe from already.. I printed out from the list of recipes that was saved in my hard disk.. If anyone is interested.. the following are the ingredients and steps..

    Ingredients:
    240 gm butter (SCS is preferred)
    90g sugar
    1 cup condensed milk
    3 tsp vanilla essence
    240 self raising flour
    4 eggs

    Method:
    1. Sift the dry ingredients
    2. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy
    3. Add vanilla essence
    4. Pour in condensed milk and mix well
    5. Add in flour in 3 additions and mix till smooth
    6. Add eggs 1 @ a time
    7. Bake at 170 degrees for hour (or till skewer comes out clean)



    Verdict: Frens have reviewed that this cake is nice... with a mild buttery taste and milky taste.. simple method!! Try it out if interested =)

    Tried baking the Dulce De Leche Pound Cake with the remaining Dulce De Leche that I have..

    If anyone is interested how to make the Dulce De Leche... the following method is the one that I use:

    1. Put the can of condensed milk in a pot, on an over turned steaming metal rack.
    2. Bring it to a boil and lowered it to a simmer and check frequently to ensure the pot didn't dry up and water level is at least 1.5 inches above the can.
    3. Simmered the can for at least 3 hours.
    4. Cool the can completely before open it.

    Recipe adapted from Bakericious~

    Ingredients (7" cake tin)
    180g butter
    40g sugar
    1.5 tsp vanilla essence
    3/4 cup dulce de leche
    180g self raising flour (sifted)
    3 eggs

    Method:
    1. Grease the cake pan and preheat oven to 170 deg.C.
    2. Cream sugar and butter till light and fluffy. Add vanilla essence and dulce de leche and whisk till incorporated
    3. Add sifted flour and whisk using low speed
    4. Add in eggs, 1 at a time
    5. Pour the mixture and send in for baking..



    Verdict:
    A very tasty cake but abit dry.. wondering if I have overbaked the cake... perhaps add a little milk will help? =)

    Tried out a new cake recipe that I have chanced upon while surfing.. The "Zebra Sponge Cake".. The ingredients required are very simple and the lucky me had all the ingredients at home and so decided to try out this cake.. Actually I dont quite like to use 2 types of cake mixture - for example having 2 types of cake batter - original and chocolate.. I always make a mess out of the kitchen.. coz I gotta take out a portion of the original batter to mix with cocoa powder... I guess I need to buy a big mixing bowl to prevent the flour and batter flying everywhere they want..

    The ingredients involved are quite simple..

    Extracted from: 袅袅烘焙香

    Ingredients:
    4 Egg Yolks
    15g Castor Sugar
    1/4 tsp vanilla essence
    4 Egg White
    1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
    85g Castor Sugar
    110g Fine Flour
    70g Melted Butter
    Chocolate Paste

    Method:
    1. Beat egg yolks and sugar till pale
    2. Beat egg white and cream of tartar till foamy, add in sugar progressively till stiff
    3. Mix the egg white (2) to (1) - mix quickly and gently
    4. Add in flour - mix gently
    5. Add melted butter - separate 1/3 of the batter and add chocolate paste
    6. Add 4 tbsp of original better in the middle of ur baking tin and add 3 tbsp of chocolate batter on top.. Repeat till all batter used up
    7. Bake at 170 degrees for 36 minutes

    When I saw the cake baking in the oven .. I saw the top of the cake browning and I thought that I have made a marble cake instead of a zebra cake.. zzz!! So I left it for cooling before proceeding to cut the cake.. It really surprised me when I saw the lines of my zebra cake... not as nice and pro like other bloggers but personally feeling a great sense of satisfaction.. Will definitely bake this cake again.. hmmm mabbe tml?
