Complaints about busy times

Been spending some time tidying up my accounts and luckily it was passed during the AGM! At least it wasn't a waste of my time. Handovers are in the process now, but as usual I'm so laid back about doing so.

Just so tired from rushing so much work, accounts and still working. Been getting quite little sleep, to the extent Alfred asked if I caught any sleep when me and Nat went for consultation. Yes, consultations. My god. Been going for so many consultations for the e-learning project (first time in my life that I'm visiting a teacher so much). What to do, just so confused over everything in the module..at least now we have a clearer idea of the project. Which is due tomorrow.

Sorry girl, haven't been replying you! But nice to hear from you. :)

And now I have to settle the invoice for the tailor. Damn it. She doesn't know what is an invoice.

And got to continue with work.. with project.. with newsflash.. with little sleep.

I wanna cook my own dinner, but no time, no energy. :(

Pass!!

Haha!!!!

I passed my econs mid-term!!!!!

No doubt it's still quite a bad grade, considering a person got 102/100 after moderation of 5 marks :S Well, at least I'm only one mark below average! I thought it would be really really bad.....

And tutorial ended so early! Was done in 20 minutes! Double happiness!!! muahahahhaha....

Waiting to go K-box tonight. And I wanna bake more muffins - they are quite addictive!

Baking expedition at my house!

Carrot Cake/ Cupcakes:

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup apple sauce
2 3/4 cups shredded carrots
8 oz canned crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut

1. Preheat oven to 165 degrees celsius. Grease and flour baking pan.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mix sugar, oil, eggs. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, chopped nuts and flaked coconut.
4. Pour into pan. Bake about 35-40 minutes.

Comments: We forgot to buy apple sauce! Ended up making it ourselves by stewing 200g apple in 2 tablespoon of water + 50g sugar. Took a long time and in the end, we threw the apple mixture into the blender to do the job! Crushed pineapple was not available as well - so we bought canned sliced pineapple and blended it! :D Blended is so useful. Although the batter mixture was rather watery after mixing in everything, the resulting cake/ cupcakes tasted not too bad! (Considering all the substitutes and stuff.) Decided to make second round to give to friends, and this time all of us were 'anyhow doing'. Just use the leftovers (so some ingredients weren't enough). Turn out well too. :)

Betty Crocker's chocolate chip cookies:

Cookie mix with chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg

1. Preheat oven at 175 degree celsius.
2. Mix the soften butter and the egg together.
3. Pour the flour mixture into the butter and egg, mixing it to become a dough.
4. Scoop teaspoons of cookie mixture and drop it on cookie tray, leaving 2 inches gaps. Bake.

Comments: Fool proof recipe - everyone can do this! Really simple and the cookies taste great! (wow- I sound like an advertisement.)

Scottish Shortbread:

1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectionary sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees celsius.
2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Slowly add flour and salt, mixing well.
4. Roll out dough with a rolling pin until it is about 1/4 inches thick.
5. Cut with cookie cutters, place on cookie sheet and prick with a fork.
6. Bake for about 5-8 minutes, or until light brown at edges.

Comments: Instruction no. 4 - roll out dough. Roll my foot man! The dough was so soft, it couldn't be rolled at all lah! Ended up plopping them on the baking tray and just sent it to the oven. The result cookies did have the 'melt-in-your-mouth' effect though..quite interesting.

My own cookies:

500g plain flour
250g butter
250g sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Cornflakes (any amount)

1. Preheat oven at 175 degrees celsius.
2. Rub fat into flour.
3. Add sugar and cornflakes. Mix.
4. Add eggs and vanilla essence. Knead into dough.
5. Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters. Lay on cookie tray and bake.

Comments: The cookies were so damn hard last night! But after one night, they taste better..more like the normal rock buns that I'm very used to making.

Oh gosh, I hardly bake so much in one trip! Had a lot of fun with Nat and her cousins, as well as Princess who kept appearing in the kitchen. : Luckily we didn't bake it by mistake. Trying new recipes is fun! Next up, Nat and I have decided to have a go at strawberry shortcake..when we have time.

happy with blogger

Back to blogger from freewebs. Main reason being freewebs does not let me upload pictures together with my blog post. :( I did like my webby on freewebs..

Well, I'm actually quite impressed by how easy it is to change the templates on blogger now. (Am I suaku?) Compared to the last time I used it when I was still struggling with 'where to paste this html now', this time I simply used 'add page element' to change everything! Hurray! That is why this is up so fast. :) Sadly though, ikarin.blogspot.com is not available.

Hopefully by having a blog, I can have more impressions of my life. As a person gets older, it is good to have a memory lane to walk down to refresh my failing memory. :/
