Don't worry about the could haves because if it should have then it would have. ♥

Hey sunshines!
I'm back for some updates. (:
In any case you guys were wondering how I've been doing..
Well, here goes!

It was tough to find a whole recipe for this.
So to create the Aloha Chicken Pizza,
I had to scatter around for recipes and have 'em pieced up together.
The outcome proved to be a delicious one. (:

Teriyaki chicken with pineapple chunks.

My first time doing pizza solo wasn't so bad.
Just have to keep a mental note to have myself
do a thinner, crispier base the next time round.

That aside, the Aloha Chicken Pizza tasted great. (:
Can't wait to make another homemade pizza of my own!

( Let's do the hula! )

60 rounds in 45 minutes.
Oh yeah! ;D

While jogging, I spot a lovely view of the sky and quickly whipped out
my phone to take pictures of it before I missed it.

Head to Singapore to do my poly stuffs again.
Upon reaching the student affairs office, we received our first shock.

It had something to do with my enrollment.
The lady was so nice to help me extend the deadline
so that my enrollment gets through.
Got it done on the spot and after which, I let out a BIG sigh of relief.

We then head on down to Lavender to apply for my student pass.
Everything was running smooth until the lady at the counter told us that
we could only pay through cash card. :/
That meaning.. we would have to find the nearest 7 eleven to get one,
insert a certain amount of cash and go back to the ICA.
Trying to spare ourselves from all the walking,
my Mom asked this sweet looking lady sitting right in front of the counter
if we could borrow her cash card and pay her back in cash.
She kindly obliged to our request and everything was done in a quickie. (:

Took a trip to Bugis Junction and did a fair bit of walking..
I remembered the Starbucks Java Chip there is the best so I wanted to get myself one.
But my Mom said I've been having too much coffee so yeah.. none for me. D;
She made up with this tho!

Green tea with red bean. (no sight of red bean :/)

Durian!

Settled for lunch before taking the MRT back to Lavender
for the collection of my student pass.
Another incident that occurred got me so frightened!
Won't elaborate on it but all I can say is..
my Mom was Wonder Woman for the day. :D

The back and forth trips exhausted us flat out
so we directly headed back home after that.

And the pizza frenzy trails on..
I wanted to stick with doing something more simple and safe.
Margherita Pizza was the perfect choice. (:

Ready to go into the oven..

Parbaked crust!

Made pizze bianche with the leftover dough!
My brother requested one with cheese filling in it.
It's the one at the top. (:
For the rest, just a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Italian herbs.
I think this pizza dough makes a nifty bread.
Chewy and soft when your teeth sinks into it!

As for the Margherita pizza, it didn't even make it till night.
My pizza lovin` brother made absolute sure of that! :D
My family liked how the crust is thinner and crispier this time. (yay!)
Rolling and stretching out the base may deem time consuming
but it was so worth it to see the pizza pull together well. *grins*

( Pizza-rific! )

There was a blackout at night so I went to Ed's room, alongside with Eugene
and we started playing uno under the candlelight.
It was hard to differentiate blue and green under the dark. D: lol
The game's so fun.. we've been playing it up till now! :D

Went to Kong Kong Cemetery with my family and uncle to pay respect to my daddy..
My uncle spotted a dead monkey and asked us not to look.
I mean, it's a natural reflex for you to be curious of where it is the least right?
So I took a quick glance of my surrounding and there it is.. lying flat on the grass.
Didn't freak out much 'cause it was faced down but still.. :X

We stood there for a few minutes of silence.
The sun rays threatened my eyes to squint at the stone table before us..
It's still hard to believe that it has already been 9 years.
Fixating my gaze at Daddy's photograph,
everything seemed to have flashed by before me..
Those times when I had to struggle to find love and acceptance.
Where I had to count on myself for courage and support.
My Mom has always been my rock, showering me with all that she can give.
But I can't help wondering if things would be the same if Daddy's still around..
Waves of emotions swept over me and hit against me, real hard.
I retracted back to reality when my Mom cued, let's go..

As we got back up the car and drove off..
It's as if we all moved on.. but me.
I'm at a standstill..
I don't want this feeling to ever change.
I miss you, daddy.. so very much. ♥

Coming home to this bed of tiny flowers puts a wide smile on my face. (:

27 dresses was so sweet!
It was pretty predictable that Katherine would end up
with Fried MarsBars (inside joke!) but still, yay! *grins*
A movie worth watching 2nd time round. (:

Had an early shower and took an afternoon nap till 8pm.
Woke up to have dinner while watching Tru Confessions.
It was so touching.. I cried buckets. D;
A very heartfelt movie.. two thumbs up from me!

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times,
if one only remembers to turn on the light.

No rain, no rainbows. ♥

I'm feeling a teensy bit better
so it's time for a little update.

Tuesday, 18th March 2008

My Mom bought a bag of lovely, juicy Gala apples.
As a fruit snack for all of us.
And I've yet to finish that packet of bread flour I've previously opened to use
so I've decided to incorporate the both of 'em into a recipe.
Then I've got it.. Apple Cinnamon Walnut Bread. (:

Thinking I wouldn't be able to find any apple sauce here,
I decided to make some of my own!
(it was only recently that I found apple sauce while I was grocery shopping.
it didn't look too appetizing tho. :/)

Peeled.

Cored.

Diced into chunks!

Into the saucepan it goes.

I started baking this January so I'm still quite new to a couple of things..
I've peeled, cored and sliced apples before but, hardly ever these days.
So in a way, it was some good practice for me!

The apple sauce turned out really well.
Very easy to make and only takes up a minimal amount of time.
This recipe is a definite keeper! (:

Turning greenish around the area where I had my blood test. :/

Batter in the baking pan.

The bread stayed in the oven for about 50 minutes tops.
But it came out sticky and gooey. D;
I was quite disheartened when the bread didn't come out right..
Didn't really know where the problem lies in.

Then my Mom came to save the day! ♥
She steamed it for 10-15 minutes or so and a bread emerges. (:
Although it tasted more like a cake,
the bread made a yummy mid day snack for my family to enjoy. :D

Click here for my apple sauce and apple cinnamon walnut bread recipes! (:

I was in the midst of baking when Mommy came back with..
NEW BAKE WARES AND DANDY KNICK KNACKS! ♥
Made me grin so wide. :D

Jogged 40 rounds in 45 minutes after munching down
two slices of the bread I just baked.
BURN BABY, BURN!

TGIF! (:

Spent Good Friday with my family over lunch @ Nando's.
We had so much to eat! :P

The bruise hurts.. alot. D;

Saturday, 22nd March 2008

Went to Tebrau City Jusco to do some shopping..
There weren't much but I didn't leave empty handed. (:

HAPPY EASTER DAY!
SUGAR MUST'VE BEEN HOPPING HAPPY, THAT WIDDLE RWABBIT. <3
I MISS HER BUNCHES. D;

It was late noon when I woke up.
So I didn't manage to paint any eggs. ):
Well, I guess there's always next year..

Wires blocked the view.
This was taken outside my house. (:

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see
The world ain't as half as bad as they paint it to be
If all the sons if all the daughters stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now, well maybe I'm just dreaming out loud
