Tartsie = )
Finally!!! It's weekend again!
I've been looking forward for this weekend long long long time ago.
That's the only time I can do what I like most.
And what makes me happier than BAKING!!
I had search lots of recipes online.
Having tarts in my mind whole week.
Ooooooo...........
Can't wait for tomorrow.
Will be baking blueberry cheese tarts, kiwi cheese tarts,
And my very own new creations.....
Read bean/green bean/black glutinous rice tarts with coconut pastry cream as filling.
I've tried to seach whether anyone had thess same wild ideas in the internet.
Too bad no one make them before.
So I guess I'm the first silly person to do these desserts.
Hopefully it works.
I might even add green tea powder in the red bean tarts.
Green tea and red bean goes well together, Right??
I thought of these new recipes because I have tight budget.
Yes I do love baking but if the ingredients are so expensive.
Why waste so much of my time and effort when I can buy them with the same price outside?
So.... It pops out in my mind.
I'll use something that I can get anywhere and super cheap!
I can get red beans, green beans and black glutinous rice at any supermarket.
And it's super affordable compared to fresh fruits like kiwi, strawberry or blueberry.
And in country like Malaysia, these fruits are under the luxurious list as these fruits cost RM10 or more per 250grams.
I know.... It's so pricy~!
As for the filling, I'll use fresh coconut milk.
Mark my word, FRESH!
This is the advantage living in a small town area.
I can buy fresh coconut milk or coconut shred easily from a sundry shop.
And at a very very cheap price.
RM1 each for a very large amount. ( I'll take some pictures tomorrow)
If compared to cream cheese......... cheese are way more costly!
As for the result, I have to wait for tomorrow till I bake those babies.
I've baked blueberry cheese tarts before.
And it's so freaking yummy!
I hope my new creations are as good as the cheese tarts. *crossing my fingers*
I'll upload some pictures tomorrow.
Hope that it'll be a successful day tomorrow.
Pray hard~~ = )

Love Changes Everything
True... Love does change everything.
As in everything...
Just had a talk with one of my old friend.
We talk much.
Mostly on my past relationship and his present relationship.
This conversation brought back bits and bits of memories.
Of course I'm a little sad now.
Knowing what I've sacrificed ain't appreciated.
And how dumb I am to do this and that for him.
Sigh....
Do regret a lot.
But, what can I do now?
A word REGRET will not turn back time.
It's a lesson meant to be learnt.
Though it may seem so hard to evercome,
at least I know I've managed to hold myself better now.
I admit I've sobbed my way through many nights.
But it makes me a stronger person now.
Physically and mentally.
Remember,
Though a tear may be ever so near,
Must always think of the good thing ahead.
Though the sky may turn dark,
There'll be a brighter day moments later.

Overweight!
Hmm....
I think I should start cutting down on snacks and desserts.
My sweet tooth is causing my weight to increase!
Bulging tummy, big bum bum, flappy arms....
Sigh....
My waistline had disappeared.
My face looked like it's swollen.
Looking back on my older pictures makes me go OMG!!!!
Besides that, I can't get my proper meal on time.
Breakfast at 10.45am (usually I'll eat secretly before that time cause I'm terribly hungry!)
Then I have to wait till 2.30pm for my lunch. (thanks to my school!!)
When it's dinner time, I'll be either still to full or I have to wait till very late before I eat.
(I prefer to skip my dinner cause it's pretty unhealthy to eat after 8pm)
But I always end up with growling tummy and snacks is the best way to solve my problem.
That's why it's hard for me to choose between to eat or not to supper.
I always choose to eat as I couldn't stand starving throughout the night.
And that's what contributes to my recent figure.
I know my problems but I couldn't solve them.
Have tried numerous times to diet but to no avail.
Many suggested different type of ways to cut down body weight.
You can even search it online and they're many outcomes with uncountable solutions.
Well, there's always other options like liposuction, slimming tea or slimming programs.
But it's a little dangerous and of course will cost you a bundle.
If you're loaded and you're willing to take a risk,
By all mean, go on...
If you're the scaredycat type (like me!), try doing more exercise regularly and drink plenty of water!
I hope it works!!
p/s: It's almost midnight now. Waiting for my mask to dry.
I'm a green monster XD

The Cycle Of Love
When it comes to a situation where 'a boy likes a girl' or 'the girl had a crush on that boy' thingy,
Everything seems so simple.
You just accept that person into your life.
You see all of your partner's angelic side.
The charm, the look, the sweet smile, those dashing eyes, perfectly sculpted figure.
Everything that makes you go WOW WOW WOW!
You wish to be by their side no matter when or where.
The one you'll share your deepest secrets and whisper to them silently.
The one you'll wish to cuddle in their arms and listen to sound of waves crushing on the shore.
Well... This will not take long until you have your first fight/quarrel/disagreements etc etc.
And it'll take not long too to forgive your partner.
First time, yes...
But when things starts to run not as smoothly as you thought it will,
Everything turned upside down.
Then you'll begin to think.
Having flashbacks on what happened between the two of you.
You will find the flaws of your partner and your partner will think that you're the one should be blamed.
In the end, you guys will start pointing fingers at each other.
Picking up all the mistakes and making judgements.
Somehow, love turned into something ugly.
Hatred breaks those special bonds which once hold the two of you together strongly.
Anger starts to fill the minds of both of you.
When everything are unbearable, the perfect 'solution' was to break up.
The person you once cherished so so much in your life,
The one you'll sacrifice for,
The one you'll protect from all danger and harm,
Now seems so unpleasant, so intolerable....
From friends to lovers and now enemies.

Cute Little Things
I finally baked!
After resisting for 2 weeks cause of my trials, I finally did it!
And I'm so proud of myself till I feel like crying. *sobs*
It's my first time baking these little babies.
It's a success and the cake. *Voila~*
The only problem was with the frosting.
Gosh... It was so freaking sweet!!
I wonder how those westerners eat their cupcakes.
The recipe even call for GENEROUS AMOUNT!
Anyways, I have to improvise my recipe now.
Was a little worried cause I used a recipe that I randomly picked online.
Luckily it turned out to be good.
Better than what I had in mind.!!
Woohoo~~~~~
I'll be baking them again next week for neighbours house warming.
I wanted to use chocolate shaves. But I ran out of time. Ended up with chocolate chips and chocolate rice
These are without any frosting on! They taste perfect just the way they are. In fact, the frosting covered it's chocolaty taste!
I just love to bake!

A Little Little!
Awesome! My trials ended yesterday!
Hip Hip!!!! Hoorayyy~~~!!!
I shouldn't be happy YET cause it's not my finals.
But at least I'm able to breathe a while, for pete's sake!
And I already knew some of my papers' results.
Well.... That's the price I get for not putting in any effort.
At least I passed.
Questions weren't very difficult.
Just that I can't seem to recall anything I learnt cause I never do any preparations and revisions.
Owh well... That's that.
I'll just have to concentrate on my studies MORE!
(I wish I could do that. *sigh*)
Ohhhh...!!!!!! I spotted another cute looking guy in my school.
Too bad he's younger than me.
It's not like I favour younger guys but guys who're same age with me seems.........
Better not write anything or else I might offend them.
Anywayssss............ He's cute!
AND.... I'll 'admire' him from a distance.
It'll be my last 2 months to be in this school.
Better make full use of it, right???
Geeeezz............. How time pass.
Feel so old now.
I'm gonna be 20 SOON!
I'm aging!!!!
Wait! I haven't even sit for my finals.
Why an I thinking so far ahead??? (Cause I'm a dreamer!)
Hmmm.... Thinking of baking.
My fingers are kinda itchy now.
It's hard to resist! (In my case!)
Feel like baking cupcakes.
Should I???
Maybe not......
Arghhh..... Bear with it Jo!!!
You can bake all you want by December!
6 more weeks to go before STPM starts.
Jo, you can do it!
