I've always love baking, no matter what festive season it is. Be it Valentines, Hari Raya, Christmas, anytime of the year, if I feel like baking, I will. Blog updates is always one of the slowest amongst all my social updates going around this internet world. First place that I would update will always be my Twitter, so follow me! After Twitter, my next common space which I always update is my Instagram, lastly is my Facebook. Usually Facebook posts are sort of linked from my Instagram, but feel free to add/follow! :D
So here's what I baked for this year's Hari Raya. I only baked one type of cookie because my parents bought a few other types for this festive season. I do love baking, but baking too many different types of cookies can be a chore. Besides, I baked them on my own. I spent a total of 12 hours because halfway I ran out of ingredients, so I waited for mummy and brother to come home with them. After spending 12 hours start in the kitchen, my back is aching like hell, lol. I'm weak that way :P Aside from that, I kinda burnt my index finger due to accidentally brushing my finger against the oven lid because I opened it, wanting to remove the cookie tray from the oven and talking to my brother, giving him some instructions and BAM! For the first time I actually used the term "sia" in "Pain siaaaaa" and I kept sucking that finger after removing the cookie tray from the oven, just so the cookies don't burnt inside.
My finger is still in the state of recovering. It's painful, still painful.. and I think I kinda accidentally hit it while sleeping last night coz its still in pain. :(
My special cookies. Its definitely something which you can't get anywhere else. No one's would taste as good as mine (LOL) but seriously, this is my very own improved recipe. ^^
They will just melt in your mouth :D and what's special? Its for those chocolate lovers!
Another great news which I received this week was..... my minion is here!
Yes, I'm a big fan of minions and Despicable Me.. and I'm pretty much ecstatic when I got the news that the minions have arrived her house, because she's the one who bought it for me! Hehe
That's my bestfriend with my minion hehehehe can't wait to get my minion :D :D
Speaking of minions, I was designing my timetable for upcoming semester yesterday but I kinda have a designer's block where I can't seem to come up with a single idea on how to design it. However, I managed to pull this up after suggestions from a few people whom I'm close to, because they know that I love minions, apart from the Googly Gooeys character, which I have used in my previous semester.
As much as I love minions, I find this pretty much boring and I can't seem to point exactly what's the problem. However, my only guess is the minions itself. Yes, I've tried a blue and yellow theme. That made the entire timetable even more boring that it is right now. I love colors, I love pink and I love bright things, hence, the large amount of usage of colors in my timetable. Feel free to give suggestions on my designs, I'm open to suggestions! :)
Yes, this sem, I have a 3 day school week! Yay but I must always remember that this is my final sem for my FYP. Bleah. So despite the 3 day week, I bet my week is still gonna be as busy as hell. :(
I'm left with one more module then I can graduate! However, taking just one module for the semester is just too little, so I decided to add another extra, not necessary module which is Chinese Language because I've always wanted to learn Chinese, either in school or enroll to a class out of school. I've learned Chinese on my own and I think Chinese is a very difficult language to learn, its not like I don't know that from last time. The reason why I haven't been leaning it is because I know its difficult to learn, the strokes, pronunciation, everything. I've self learned Korean before and its much simpler than Chinese. So much easier to write and speak as well. I've learned Korean and Japanese before and they are not as difficult as Chinese, so I'm quite worried. Like whether I should just carry on with my initial intentions of taking it in school, or just study them from classes out of school. I study Malay in secondary school and yes I have to say that my Malay is far from the status of "Good". However, in today's situation, we don't use Malay as often, hence that explains why my command of the language is decreasing. I don't usually use Malay when conversing, what more when writing. In Singapore, some work requirements actually included whether the applicants can converse in Chinese and English. That's why I want to learn that language. I know that being able to just speak is good enough. That's what I'm aiming for, however, school doesn't offer Conversational Chinese, they only offer Basic Chinese Language Level 1. Since I'm still schooling, I thought, why not use this opportunity and learn the language, right?
I've been on BSB fangirlism for the past few days. I still am actually. I've been watching their tour concerts on YouTube and then re-adding all their albums, including their newest album into my iTunes and then my iPod.
With that, I'd like to share my favorite track. :) And have a great night ahead. To those who are fasting, a few more days to Hari Raya!
