Juat Joking - Daddy, how was I born?



A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?" 


 The father answers, "Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!
Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.
Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe.
We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive.
As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall,
and since it was too late to hit the delete button,
nine months later...
a little Pop-Up appeared that said:  
 
 

'You got Male!'

Baking is a Therapy

 

When I am feeling sad... I start to cook and bake. I feel happy when I am baking...

When I was young, I had always been wanting to bake cakes, cookies, tarts, etc. However, last time how could I afford to have an oven, thus just baking cake in the air...

Last year, bought a conventional oven, however had not had any chance of using it till recently when I was back in Singapore.

This was my first attempt in baking...Chocolate Chip Brownie!!!


As I did not understand the baking instruction, e.g preheat oven?, did not know how to use the oven, no proper baking utensils, most of all I am stupid hahaha~, thus top layer became volcano eruption and got burnt, and in the center, like lava, thus kept taking it out and checked then put it in again, in the end supposed to be baking brownie, became cake-like brownie. hahaha~ still edible.

My second attempt was baking wild berry muffin. Final product turned out to be quite good and encouraging.



Then I tried to bake chocolate chip cookies.



Supposed to have 36 2inch cookies, not giant cookies...errhhh...never knew that they expanded !!! I should have separated and baked in 2 rounds.



Supposed to be chocolate chip cookies and not chocolate cookies...errhhh...as when time was up, I touched the cookies, still very soft, thought that they were not cooked, thus extended the time again, and again, never knew that when the cookies were cool, they harden..hahhaha~

Bought a mixer few days ago. Last night, I tried to bake a lemon cake, ended up another volcano eruption again. hahaha~ turned it over and spread the icing sugar on top. Though the end product did not look alike with the picture on the box but still can eat lah~ hahaha~

Poor Little Puppy's Love



I can't wait to show you this cute 18sec video.  I laugh and laugh (and seriously laughing aloud) each time I watch it.
The kitty must be not in a good mood that day, so fierce, and poor little puppy, he just wanted to show some love and care to the cat, but ended up being slapped, slapped and slapped.

In reality, we people are facing the same problem...
I have no other intention, just purely wanted to show some care and love to you, but always being face with rejection and avoidance...


 



 

Church Service... I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever


I had always been troubled by many things on and off, very easily feeling moody and upset. I told myself that I need to have a change in my life, question is just when and how? After some encouragement from M (Thanks M), going through many attempts and overcoming numerous hesitations, last week, I managed to overcome the "obstacle" and made a step forward, I attended a church service, which I have been hesitating to go, not because of the church but more of I am afraid of facing the people.  Thus it was a brand new experience and a mixture of feelings, peaceful, lonely, motivating, like a kid who wants to know more but feeling scared, ...

This morning was my second time to the church, reached there by 11:20am, just feeling a bit lonely and odd, like out of the place, as nobody I know...(however probably it was my fault, as myself wouldn't believe, God really did give me a chance this morning when I had been led me to an "ideal" seat, but I was a coward and changed to another seat.)

I started to wonder:~ Am I really ready to face the people or should I still stay at home confine to myself? Am I doing the right thing? Well, next week I will be going again, hopefully will be feeling better.

After the service, I checked out some information regarding New Believer Class however the registration already closed for this round.  1.15pm I took the free shuttle bus service to the Subway station.

I got to know about this song "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" from the church service last week, feeling touched when singing along.


I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever
Written by Martin Smith 1994 Curious? Music UK
Sung by Delirious?

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.

I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down.

[Yeah!]
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever.

[Repeat]
Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;but,
when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.

Go shopping when feeling moody !


It is true that when you are in bad mood or somehow feeling bored, avoid going out, especially going to the shopping mall...
 
Work...when then can I stop this frustrating and boring task? Recently there were too many things need to be done at the same time but just did not feel like doing any one of them.
 
Last week I bought laptop till now had not started using it.
 
Last Saturday, I bought a handheld mixer for cake baking。

Yesterday, before going to Plaza Singapura to fetch HQ at 9pm, went to Bugis Junction to pass time, ended up mostly at Kinokuniya Bookstore browsing books and in the end bought 2 books, one recipe book (Desserts for Beginners) 
 
 
and one Chinese book - 天使遗留的笔记 translated version of "Notes left Behind: 135 Days with Elena".



Can't wait to start reading the book as I would think it should be very touching as what the synopsis described : it is a true story of a 6-year-old girl named Elena and her battle against cancer. In her last days, she showed a community how to love and how to live. Written through the eyes of her parents as a remembrance for her younger sister, her daily story tells one of humility and inspiration as she lives each day, one at a time. In her short time she painted a masterpiece that would hang in an art museum, she accomplished a truly spectacular series of wishes that she alone created, and she inspired a cause that remains today to help children everywhere in their fight against brain cancer.
 
Then went to Gramophone CD store to but Chet Lam's latest CD "Back to Stars".
