Not the end yet

So we are still here!

I have a few students asking me if I was scared of the so-called "End of the World"

and then I questioned them back asking what is it to be afraid of?

Seeing little kids believed so much on what they read on the net and how they react to it.. 

@@

Well, lets say that most things of the net are not really true and parents should really filter or at least explain to their kids. 

Talking about kids

Meet my baby cousin!

Ethan W.

Cute, chubby and white little baby

Surprisingly for a 9-months old baby, he is not scared of people he is not familiar with.

First time seeing this baby and he willingly let me carry him

Aunt: Let ah yi carry (refering to my other aunt)

BB: *refuse*

Me: Come let jiejie carry

BB: *extend his arms*

Awwwww

He keep looking at me too!

I wonder why.

hee.

Enterint week 6 of intern..!

So fast...~

Xmas on Tuesday yet no plan. :(

NY also no plan. :(

Boohoo

but mum said that we might be going Thailand again this year!

Weeeeeee~

and I was planning to go to another place..

Please please let me earn more $$

I feel that I spend alot alot alot

and I need alot to satisfy my cravings too.

Speaking of cravings, was craving for sushi again this week

Mr R still owe me!

and then I saw my cousin posted a plate of salmon sashimi! T.T

So I commented that I want too!

And guess what..!

She say she will treat me to Xenri Japanese buffet!

weeeeee~ *loved* :) *it's costly too*

My brother-in-law works there so cousin's family visit quite often.

*Imagine unlimited flow to yum yum sashimi!*

Okay, back to reality.

Hi Monday blues!

Hi stupid flu bug that is still not leaving.

Hi another week!

Work update

Immersed in my busy life lately that I lost touch with my world

Work is getting better :)

Though I still have nothing much to do

or that I complete task given too fast that I run out of task

Going into a routine of helping Kak Aein to prepare buffers every morning

and today I created a record by preparing a total of 5.5L of buffers!

(Yea and Kak Zaleha was asking me when am I going to finish cause it seems to her that I've been doing it for long time - 1.5 hours)

Then, I will go sort the mayonnaise samples to incubate or for microb test.

and then I will stone or waste time or listen to music until lunch time.

I loveee lunch time and the peaks of working here is having 2 hours lunch time EVERYDAY..!

So I gotta go home, eat, watch tv, online/nap. Go back company continue playing phone until 2pm.

After lunch, I usually have some paper work to do. If not.. I will just help around or watch Kak Aein do microb.
I only realised how outdated petri dishes and agars are!

Petrifilms are so cool! They are like petri dishes with agar, just that it is in a dried film form. Just need to pipette samples on to it and incubate it. But it is difficult to count plate after that especially when the sample itself is redish in colour. 

Simplates are even better! You just mix the sample with some powder media and water and pour them into the plate. This yields faster results and easy to read!

Petrifilms at the bottom, simplates at the top right 

I also learn to sneak back samples (FOOD PRODUCTS not microbs -.-)

Sneaked a bottle of Thai chilli sauce, tomato sauce and also the spicy sauce!

also manage to try the mashed potato flakes and the sauce. I still prefer my own mashed potato without gravy. Hmm I should try out all the products there. hehe

Daddy's Girl Part 2

Me: The salmon sashimi at XXX not nice one.

Dad: Not that it is bad but you are spoilt. You had better ones that are EXPENSIVE thats why. 

Me: HAHAHAHA! So we go eat better ones don't want eat this XXX.

Whoops. No wonder my taste buds are so picky now.

but pity the wallet/purse.

-----------------------------------------------------

While waiting for our yong tau fu

Me: *Squeeze the sweet sauce and chilli sauce in my pattern* (Imagine sweet sauce in center with chilli sauce on the outer layer surrounding it)

Dad: *Looks at my sauce plate*

Dad: *Imitates my pattern but doing a reverse instead* (Imagine chilli sauce in the center with sweet sauce surrounding it)

Mum: *Simply squeeze into a mess*

Dad: Why you squeeze till so ugly wan (Referring to my mum's)

HAHAHAHA

so awwww

*feels so loved again*

Aww tomorrow is Monday again. Hi Monday Blues~!

:)

Can't wait to be back at work.

Daddy's girl

Being the one and only daughter at home who gets to feel all the love from parents

:)

Dad would peel chestnut for me

Dad: Come try this chestnut I steam today! Very very soft want *Peels for me*

Weeee~

Or fruits like rambutan and pulasan

Dad: Why you no eat the rambutan I brought home

Me: *mumbling that I'm too lazy*

Dad: Nah come here try this pulasan *peels for me*

Very sweet one.

Heee

:)

I also remember one of my cousin telling me during one of the dinners some years back

Family dinner in a chinese restaurant

Cousin: Bi, why I don't I see you stand up to get for food. You only sit still

Me: Nehh got daddy take for me ma.

Cousin: Yea la, even prawn shells and crabs also your dad peel for you.

Me: Hehehe 

Feels so loved by my daddy

Life is good with family at my side

Love every moment of it

:)

Hmm. I sort of MIA lately it seems

that even Ting is complaining that we seldom chat and she hardly get to see me online. 

I guess I've enjoy being in my own sweet world

Or that I'm being lazy.

I will come back out from my shell soon. But not now

:)

Okay I'm too bored.

Baking from scratch

I used to love premixes (those sold in bakery stores or supermarket)

where you just add in eggs or milk or butter, mixed it up and put into oven.

Simple baking job well done!

And it doesn't fail most time.

But as time passes, and my interest in baking grew,

I realised that those premixes are usually too sweet

or that I don't like not knowing what is inside (typical Food Scientist..? Heh)

Else, I also realised the sense of achievement from baking from scratch is much more too! Though not all recipe succeeds, the feeling is great.

Measuring the flour, mixing it one by one.

My fav: Whipping egg whites! Pretty fluffy mess. (Which might fail of under- or over- whip)

:) 

Made pancakes today!

Not those boxes of premix of course! ;)

Plain one for start

and yum

If only I am willing to wake up abit earlier everyday to make this for breakfast

hehe

I can have this everyday!

Or scrambled eggs (Slurpss)

I miss having the time to bake. Now I'm too tired to even make myself things to eat.

First attempt at cotton cheese cake months ago! 

Oreo cheesecakes!

Cheese sponge cake (If I'm not mistaken)

Recently, I've found a nice sponge cake recipe that is yum!

just great to top with the sweet fresh cream!

Chocolate sponge

and my all time favourite butter cake!

Love this recipe alot!

It's super yum

and fattening too!

hehe

Butter cake

More more moree to try

;D

是我始終拒絕成長嗎?

Falling back to the routine of work-eat-sleep

and now I feel tired

time passes much faster going by this routine

yet I feel I've turned into a zombie, subjected to this repetitive lifestyle for the rest of my summer holidays.

Chatted lesser lesser with the ones I cared (and ones that I used to talk to everyday :( )

I suck at keeping up or keeping in contact

(Most of the time I'm easily distracted by something else that popped out of my mind)

Yea when that fails, people also stop finding for me I guess.

even though I very much want to keep in touch but..I fail..

Most of the time now I feel so not me as well

taken over by the tiredness

But I'm greedy (Greedy is good acc to my darl)

I want time to entertain my own thoughts

I want people to keep me company

I want to chat with my friends

I want to drama

I want to movie

I want to sleep

I want to bake

yet all this fail

Now I know what Ting feels like.

:(
