Encounter God Camp 2011

2011-02-08T21:45:00.001+08:00

this is my first time joining a church camp
actually no..i've joined one many years ago where i can only remember the part where i am team leader and need to assemble a puzzle that looks really simple but it is actually very very complicated. after i finish assembling the puzzle in like 3 minutes, 98% of my puzzle is removed by the senior and he gave me a big "X". that was my only memory left about the camp.
so, this is my first time joining a camp since i came into FGA CYC.

to tell you the truth, i seriously didn't look forward going to the camp. i think only 0.5% of my heart wanted to join, the other left over 99.5% refuse to. no matter how many good reviews were given, i still didn't have the heart to join. but at the end, i still joined and now i am super glad that i've joined.
*thank you my lord. halleluyah. i praise you for giving me te chance to encounter you. i hope for more and i love you forever and ever*

the first day was a really tiring day for me because me and joey have been working all day non-stop and time is not on our side. 5pm we immediately left the office and rush back home to grab our stuffs and rush back to church to catch the bus up to camp. by the way, i stay at puchong and i think you know how terrible the traffic is during peak hours. i was so stressed out i scolded all the cars that block my way *it's bad. don't learn* thanks God we still manage to catch the bus. PHEW!
in the bus i feel more relaxed but still not quite happy that i need to go to this camp. why do i dislike camp so much? it's because of Kuen Cheng Wind Orchestra.
never once i can have a beautiful memory in camp. sleeping in sleeping bags on hard and cold concrete floors, creepy sounds in the middle of the night, mosquitoes here and there, need to wake up in the middle of the night to do rounds, no decent meals, no free time, annoying section leaders, non-stop practising, bla bla blaaaaaaa. the worst part is the toilet. dirty and super disgusting. we need to take our baths in KC's super dirty, old, smelly toilet. just by thinking back, it gives me goosebumps.. i even remember once while we were taking our baths, a toad somehow manage to jump into the toilets and we were all screaming and screaming. how to take bath like that!!!!! the worst part of this worst memory is, we have only one time per day and 5 minutes to take our baths. INCLUDING the time to take off and wear our cloths again! then there is no hook or something to let us hang our cloths. we have to hang it on top the door of the toilet or above the toilet which i am very very crystal sure that no one ever cleans it and is full of lizard poops up there. goosebumps!!! we are also not suppose to wash our hairs in the toilet. we have to do it outside and a water supply comes from a rusty old tap.
BUT, this camp this totally different. time is more flexible and a much much much decent looking toilet. the dorms were small but very comfortable. althought we have to share our dorm with 16 other people, it is still quite spacious and comfy. awesomeness~ my mood got so much better when i reach the place. i feel so comfortable and peaceful at that place. the holy spirit is with us.

seriously it was a really memorable time. only one word to describe. AWESOMENESS! ♥
i believe everyone encountered GOD during that 3 day camp. it was seriously AWESOME!!
till today i really miss the time we spent at PeaceHaven. it was such an AWESOME memory!!
*i said AWESOME 3 times, it MUST BE super AWESOME!!!*

He healed our hearts, our once broken hearts.
He touched us. He spoke to us.
Thank you for giving me the chance to REALLY encounter YOU.
my heart beats with your LOVE.
♥I LOVE YOU♥

我们15T不是什么好东西~我们15T不是来这里吹bit bit~我们15T会让你笑嘻嘻~我们15T是不是很有创意!!! We are the 15Ts, We are the wannabes, WE are the champion of CYC!

2011-01-17T09:52:00.002+08:00

last week was the LOOOOOOOONGGGESTTTTTTTTT week of my life

except the part where i went to camp on friday and came back on sunday which is super super fun but too short. will blog about that soon

from a mere "RM50-for-4-hour-promoter" to a "RM50-for-4-hour-promoter-that-need-to-walk-around-getting-telephone-numbers" to a "under-the-blazing-hot-sun-RM50-for-4-hour-promoter-that-slips-flyers-on-people's-car". TERRIBLE ISN'T IT. lol

seriously if it isn't ♥joey working with me. i think i would be pitch black and having high fever by now

yes, RM50 for 4 hours sounds like a really good deal. BUT, *there is always a but..* under the blazing hot sun that makes you feel like the heat is penetrating your skin and like you will get a sunburn as soon as your skin touches the sunlight IS NOT WORTH IT.

no matter how much sunblock and aloe vera gel I splatter on my skin i can still feel the sharp pain all over my skin.

oh yeah, we even met our "colleague" while we are working super hard at Solaris. a indian guy who is also slipping flyers on cars.....me and joey just looked at each other and thought "OMG WHYYYY!!!!!!!!"

the funny thing is, there is also an uncle, who just randomly saw us slipping "a stack" of flyers under his car wiper called out to us. we thought he's interested in the fitness first thing and want to ask more, mana tau he pity us and ask us why did we choose this job. he even advise us to look for part time jobs in restaurants or cafe that he claim that we could earn more and have a much much much better working enviroment.

i was like, "lol, we didn't know the job requires us to do this job when we first sign up. we thought we just need to give out flyers."

that was the third day.

the forth day, we were sooooooooooooo tired of the job we just sloppily did our job. actually...we didn't. we didn't even came out from joey's car! we were like "yeeee~~~so hot, we stay in the car until not so hot first lahhhh" and then we both just slept soundly in the car. finally, when the clouds moved to cover up the sun, we finally decided to start working. mana tau, it started to rain. lol~ so we chilled at the mamak until we need to move on to another destination.

our next destination is plaza mont kiara's flea market. like omg, we were more attracted by all the lovely assessories and cloths than people's phone number. urgh...the stuffs there are sooooo prettyyyyyy~♥♥♥

nevertheless, you guess it!!! we just sat, talked, gossiped and looking at fishes for 4 hours there. we didn't even bother to promote to anybody there.

erm, for your information, to those people who criticise us for not working, the company have been sending promoters to promote their newly open fitness center for the pass 2 weeks! and worst, all at the same location! HELLOOOO~ additional information, the locations they've sent us to are all office blocks or schools, do you think many different people will appear there? we are like promoting to the same batch of people over and over and over and over again. lol, one person even said this to me when i approach him, "sorry but i have been seeing you guys alot here, and i've written down my contact for about 4 times already. i think i even have a stack of your flyers. lol. sorry ahh" he was nice enough to tell me all this and didn't just shoo me away rudely. i salute you anonymous man!!

yeah, so does it sound like we enjoyed the job? lol if you do, please read the whole blog again.

i now have goosebumps just by listening to the word "FITNESS". ewwwwww...

but still, of course i have fun times, i have fun working with my dear friend ♥joey, i enjoyed chit chatting with her all day, i enjoyed not working and hanging out in mamaks with her, i enjoyed telling her everything in my life, i enjoyed every moment with her. ♥♥♥

11-1-11

2011-01-11T23:57:00.005+08:00

LOL~ random post to say happy 11/1/11 everyone!!!
those babies who are born today super lucky >< their IC number would be 110111-XX-xxxx
cool right!!!

has been working these 2 days. kindda boring actually. very very VERY boring seriously. good thing i have my darling joey with me or i'll be dead by the first hour.
getting phone numbers are SUPER DIFFICULT!! i seriously prefer serving or promoting. at least i know how to do it and what i should do. this job is like, asking a total stranger for his/her phone number. oh yeah, i've learnt a lesson though.
"NEVER BE RUDE TO PROMOTERS, THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB. TRY TO HELP THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE."
never again i'm going to walk pass a promoter without letting him/her mumble beside me (just to be kind and listen to what you are talking about although i'm totally not interested)

a promoter's life. urgh...tough and tiring. we have to meet so many kinds of people. high-class ones, low-class ones, working ones, busy ones, NICE AND SUPER KIND ones and just plain annoying ones.

the worst memory i had is a guy from this "so-call-very-busy-and-big-building-that-during-lunch-time-there-would-be-alot-of-people-in-the-cafeteria" building [give you a tip, it's a big building with a large hole in the middle. an arch actually]
i approached him in a really friendly and HARMLESS attitude, and straight away he start booming those "not-so-pleasent-in-the-ear" type of words. he's like:
"your company haven't finalized the price yet, so what are you doing here talking to me?"
"what zero joining fee? it's all a fraud!! don't go lying to other people anyomore!"
"do you have a permit to promote here in this government building. i'm going to call the security to reconfirm and ask why they permit you to promote here"
"go tell your supervisor that they have to train their staff properly. like this cannot lahh"
SERIOUSLY I ALMOST CRIED INFRONT OF HIM
i was like "so sorry, i will repeat your suggestions to my supervisor" and then i left. still i can hear in saying something bad back there
urgh....worst memory so far.

but still, there are super nice memories ^^
me and joey just stood at one place, for 1 hour, talking non stop.
we're just TOO LAZY to promote anymore *super promoters out there, spare us both little lazy bumss*
and and and when some people just approach us automatically and leave us their contact numbers
i was like AWWWWWW♥♥♥
some people were so kind to tell us which part of the area with most activity. which is so nice of them. i was thinking if they have worked as a promoter before and know how difficult it is? so they helped us?
again i was like AWWWWWW♥♥♥

so far, i'm kindda sick about the job..
3 more days.
3 more days and i'm so not going to work as a promoter like this anymore!!!!!

Chilling Out at CHILLEX

2010-07-13T21:36:00.000+08:00

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

me and joanne used to drive past this really cool place but always end up going to 东风馆 =-=

but today, i insisted on going to Chillex after reading several blogs about the grand opening

i called joanne and said "Let's Go CHILLEX"

this place is located in the new building at Bandar Puteri, in a really eye catching location

whenever people drive through that road, they will go "ooo~~ let's go~~ that place look really really nice!"

and those people, includes me and joanne ^^

when we walk into the restaurant/cafe (i don't really know what to call it...let's just temporarily call it PLACE) we saw two adorable "talking bubbles" which are seats. so cute! ♥

then i start to imagine.........*floating floating* ♥♥ a rose, a candle, dim lighting, two person ♥♥ hehehe XD

we had a great time there~ snapping pictures non-stop XD

of course we ordered food XD

belle's strawberry something something

my virgin mojito

joanne's something something XD

(paisehh lahh~~~ i accidenly deleted the picture)

How nice would it be if there are more guys like him

2010-04-15T19:41:00.000+08:00

for his girlfriend's birthday
he is willing to do things he never did before in his life

he actually made plans for his girlfriend's special day
not like other people, "a cake from secret recipe is good enough"
he is willing to spend to make his girlfriend's birthday a really memorable one
he didn't bother how tiring or how troublesome it would be to prepare everything he planned in such short time
the only thing he thinks about is the smile on his girlfriend's face when she saw what he prepared for her
how nice would it be if there are more guys like him

obviously the guy i'm talking about is not my boyfriend
but how i hope one day i will find someone that could do the same thing to me

Superior Patisserie Lesson 23 [Pastillage/Compressed Sugar]

2010-04-15T11:03:00.000+08:00

After don't know how many donkey months
val is finally back on track!!

just want to briefly tell what val has been doing lately:
she left Le Cordon Bleu Dusit last december and went back to her country
now, she's doing her Bachelor in Culinary Arts and Foodservice Management at Taylors University College
she has been really busy lately (don't know what the hell she's doing XP)
and she has been thinking about starting a small buisness online selling cookies and cupcakes!
THE CUPCAKE FREAK IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Pastillage - a substance similiar to Gum Paste, made up of icing sugar, cornstarch, gelatine, water, lime juice and lard

chef's

val's

christine's

i had a lot of fun playing with pastillage~ the only difficult part about it is it goes dry really really fast. you have to keep the dough under a plastic at all times! or it will go dry and hard and you can't use it anymore.
A small tiny tip on handling pastillage: DO NOT FIDDLE AROUND WITH IT TOO MUCH. make up your mind and just do it.

In demo, chef made showpieces out of pastillage

royal icing butterfly

the small brown piece beside the flower is Rock Sugar

rock sugar & compressed sugar

Superior Patisserie Lesson 22 [Marzipan Modeling]

2010-01-20T21:07:00.000+08:00

After a terrible week of chocolate, chef decided to give us a little “break”. A simple class of marzipan modeling~

Each person is given loads of marzipan, food coloring and modeling sticks. And what you need is your imagination!!!!!

What I had in mind is an angel and a christmas present as it was going to be the oh-so-merry-christmas-season. But after that I changed my mind and made ducks and ducklings wearing christmas hats..== because christmas present seems like it’s to easy to make and can’t show off my oh-so-superior modeling skills XD

To handel marzipan, you need icing sugar. Whereas with fondant, you need cornflour.

somehow, i like this pig alot!!!! hahahahaha

this looks really nice too~ finished nicely with snow on top too!!!

now for ♥val's masterpiece ^^

╚angel╝

mommy duck and 3 baby duckies

me and my friend's masterpiece~ don't they look cute together~

Superior Patisserie Lesson 17-21 [Chocolate Week]

2010-01-11T12:07:00.001+08:00

Lesson 17: Dark Chocolate Bonbons with Filling

DO NOT PUT IT INTO THE FRIDGE (a little while in the fridge is still fine but not too long). let it cool outside the fridge and it will shine perfectly. pop the mold into the fridge for too long and you will have a oh-so-sad-it's-not-shiny surface.

Lesson 18: Milk Chocolate with Filling

Earl-Grey Ganache~♥♥ Lovess~♥~♥~♥~♥

we have to temper milk chocolate for this practical which is totally different from tempering dark chocolate. the technique used is still the same (tablage) but the tempering temperature is totally different. same goes with tempering white chocolate. why? because there are different amount of cocoa butter in different types of chocolate. confusing? hehe

for dark chocolate, we need to melt it to 50-55˚C and then cool 2/3 of the amount to 27˚C on a marble table, and mix 1/2 of the 2/3 back into the 1/3. after that, we have to cool the leftover 1/2 from the 2/3 to 25˚C and then mix it all back into the bowl. mix well to avoid fat bloom. you can only use the chocolate at 31-32˚C. if temperature is too low, reheat on bain-marie.

whereas for milk chocolate, we need to melt it to 45˚C and then cool 2/3 of the amount to 26˚C on a marble table, and mix 1/2 of the 2/3 back into the 1/3. after that, we have to cool the leftover 1/2 from the 2/3 to 24˚C and then mix it all back into the bowl. mix well to avoid fat bloom. you can only use the chocolate at 29-31˚C. if temperature is too low, reheat on bain-marie.

Chocolate Showpiece

Lesson 19: Chocolate Showpiece (1)

the first chocolate showpiece we have to make. obviously the showpieces in the pictures are not made by me. i didn't get to finish mine on time...boohoo...only 2 person from my class get to finish their showpiece on time.

what i learnt from this lesson is not to waste time. before going into class, make a drawing of the showpiece you wish to make. try not to make it too fancy and make sure the showpiece is stable enough to move around. when you temper your chocolate, be precise with the temperature or you won't have enough time to finish your showpiece.

difficult...very difficult...
oh yea, remember to get a plastic apron. you will understand why *wink*

Lesson 20 & 21: Chocolate Showpiece (2)

this showpiece requires 2 practicals to finish.

for the first practical, we have to make a chocolate box, the "centre piece" of the showpiece and other decorations for the showpiece.

and the second practical is to make one or two chocolate flowers to decorate the showpiece.

end results:

christine's

♥val's

showpieces made by my classmates

a very very very very triring week for us. tempering chocolate is definately not as easy as you think.
so if you wonder why chocolate bonbons are so expensive, think about the time and effort needed to make one small piece of bonbon.

no more chocolate for me~ ^^

Superior Patisserie Lesson 10-16

2010-01-01T22:24:00.002+08:00

Lesson 10: Macaroons

Lesson 11: Macaroons

my style of macaroon, i say it looks like eyes but according to TOP, it looks like boobs..(ehem..hem..). looking back now, it really looks like something different from eyes XD

Lesson 11: Souffles (calvados souffle)

Lesson 11: Souffles (crepe souffle)

for the souffle lesson, we get to choose to present the calvados souffle or the crepe souffle. as other groups chose to present the crepe souffle. my group chose to present the calvados souffle. challenging!!!!

it's easy to make souffles, just ensure your meringue is stable enough (which means not to fiddle around with it too much, not to fold too much) and you'll come up with a beautiful puffed up souffle!!!! yumsssss~

the challenging part of the calvados souffle is the apple. overbake the souffle a little, and you'll end up with a mashed up apple cup. good thing we stood infront of the oven while we were baking the calvados souffle, pheww~ our apple cups are still nice and stable, and the souffle inside are nice and puffy!!!

but our crepe souffle weren't that lucky though...we were all busy decorating our calvados souffle and totally forgotten about our poor crepe souffles that are baking next door!!! a little burnt but still yummy!!!

Lesson 12: Transparence of creamy chocolte, brownie, raspberry with cocoa bean "nibs" crisps

Lesson 12: Transparence of creamy chocolate, brownie, raspberry with cocoa bean "nibs" crisps

this dessert is not difficult to make, for the layers: creamy chocolate - creamy raspberry - fruits in cubes - tempered dark chocolate disc - creamy chocolate - cocoa glaze

the chocolate disc that have to be measured and cut accurately is placed on top of the fruits and have to fit perfectly so when we add the layer of creamy chocolate on it, it will have a really nice transparent layer in between the fruits.

we though we just need to present the larger glasses and not the small ones, so we focus more on the larger glasses, slowly decorating, cleaning the plates repeatingly so theres no fingerpints on it. but at the end, where there is only 15 minutes left, we were told that we have to present both big and small glasses. i was like "WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT WE HAVE NO MORE COCOA GLAZE!!!!". everyone in class panicked. but for the sake of our results, we managed to ishh up some chocolate glaze in 5 minutes.

Lesson 13: Frozen nougat served with apricot financier, raspberry coulis

Lesson 13: Frozen nougat serve with apicot financier, raspberry coulis

we worked in groups again. a type of cold dessert. the most important thing when you serve cold dessert is not to fiddle around too much. the dessert have to be served immediately after it is taken out from the fridge or it will melt really really fast.

Lesson 14: Spiced tropical fruit kebabs with orange soup ad sweet couscous

COUSCOUS!!!!! something like rice i think....i don't like it.

the whole class works as a team for this practical. at first, it was relaxing and everyone was wandering around trying to find something to do (actually..it was only me. everyone was busy XD)

we have to scoop up ice-cream quenelles (oval shape) using a spoon. the spoon used is "deeper" than normal dinner spoons. soak the spoons in lukewarm water before using. to scoop, "imerge" the spoon into the ice-cream and scoop, scoop twice to get the shape. urgh...hard to explain in words. youtube!!! hehe

Lesson 15: Strawberry jam with raspberries and balsamic vinegar

Lesson 15: Rose Loukoum

for this class, stand and stir constantly.thats my only advice.

Lesson 16: Honey Candy

Lesson 16: Praline and coffee berlingots

first time pulling sugar. i was so high i oversatinised (pulled too much, incoporated too much air in it, causing it to lose it's shine). we then have to wrap the filling in a thin piece of sugar and wrap again with a sugar ribbon. after that the sugar is cut in small pieces.

obviously, the products in the pictures are not done by me, but mine looks similiar!!! for real!!

"American Style" Crepe Cake (???)

2009-12-08T14:03:00.000+08:00

Aim for the day : Make a crepe cake in 2 hours
Participants : Joey, Valerie, Alan Siew
Location : The Kitchen
Time : 5 p.m

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

first,

look for a decent recipe from the net

this is the recipe i used for the crepe batter:

- 6 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 7 tbsp. sugar
- Pinch salt

START WORKING

prepare the ingrediants and equipments

get help from friends

7 tablespoon of butter finally end up to be the whole chunk of butter...==

cook the butter till a nutty aroma is produced and leave to cool

prepare the eggs

and the sugar
(i find this is the best "position" to measure the sugar in a cup)

beat the eggs and sugar together
but not too much
just to melt the sugar in the eggs

measure the milk

(joey wouldn't believe my measurement..so she stared at me while i was measuring the milk)

boil the milk and leave to cool

combine EVERYTHING together
best to combine with the spatula so less air will be incoporated in the mixture

done with the crepe batter

cover with plastic and put inside the fridge overnight

but i'm going to use it straight away because i was lazy yesterday XD

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

serve the crepe cake with some creme anglaise

it will taste so much better!!!!!!

you can vary the flavour of the anglaise

i made earl grey flavour anglaise because i couldn't find vanilla bean in the market and i don't like to use vanilla essence as it has this fake vanilla flavour that i hate alot.

recipe for the earl grey creme anglaise:

- 250 ml milk

- earl grey

- 80 g egg yolks

- 50 g sugar

separate egg yolk from egg white

red coloring in the egg whites
ewwww!!!!!!

heat up milk (not to boil) and infuse earl grey into the milk
beat the sugar and egg yolks together till light
boil the milk
pour the boiled milk into the egg yolk mixture half by half (careful not to cook the eggs)

put the mixture on water bath

cook to 85 degrees

while cooking, remember to stir constantly

and the anglaise is done!!! ^^
leave to cool down in fridge

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

let me introduce you to the newest member of my equipments

KENWOOD

she's going to be one of my greatest helper ever!!!

for the crepe cake filling (cream that goes in between the layers)

i made creme chantilly which is really really really simple to make and taste quite nice too~

recipe for creme chantilly:

- 1000 g whipping cream

- 100 g icing sugar

[the amount of icing sugar is 10% amount of the whipping cream]

just whip up the whipping cream till very soft peak and add in the icing sugar

whip till soft peak or desireable consistency

careful not to overwhip the cream!!!! or you'll get butter!!!
leave in the fridge

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

start cooking the crepes!!!!

prepare a non-stick pan, wipe the pan with tissue and a little oil
val's little advice: prepare also a pair of chopsticks and a plastic "铲"
you will find them really really useful!!

to cook the crepes,
just pour suitable amount of batter into the pan and cook
flip cover when the base starts to turn brown
DO NOT BURN THE CREPES
when both sides and ready,
remove from pan and leave to cool

our 4th crepe..
the only one without a hole in it so far...==

after that, we were "pros" at crepe cooking!!!
look how many crepes we made!!!
actually there's only 8 pieces on the plate...>.<

disgusting looking alan trying out the crepe

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

when the crepes are cool

it's time to assemble it into a cake!

spread a layer of creme chantilly on the crepe

and place another piece of crepe on top

repeat the action
till you get a "cake"

almost done!!!!

last piece of crepe...

last layer of cream on top...

walahhh~~~~ it's done~~~~

eheheheheheh....>0<

final touch on the cake

american style XP

close up

"masterpiece"

disgusting look...

best to leave the cake in the fridge for about 3 hours before eating

serve with earl grey creme anglaise

bon apettit~

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

while waiting for the crepes to cool down

we went out

to the market...=0=

alan siew's disgraceful pictures

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

wonder why i call this the "AMERICAN STYLE" crepe cake?

ehehehehe~

it's because i'm lazy to make the cake nice and tidy

american style cakes are more modern looking cakes with not very very tidy layers

french style cakes focus more on the looks and tidy-ness

so there you have it~

val's "american style" crepe cake ^^

Winter in Bangkok!!!!! [lovesss~♥] and Loy Krathong

2009-11-03T17:49:00.005+08:00

i am now blogging at my balcony as it's windy and cooling here compared to my room
lovess~♥♥♥♥

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

yesterday night was Loy Krathong Festival
but obviously,
i have no idea about it until this morning... =.=
i felt weird when i saw markets selling these really pretty banana leaf boat with flowers and incense in it

photo credits to: google ^^

everybody was holding one
even my apartment made a giant one and place it at outside the reception
fully equipped with gorgeous lights and music...=.=
i was like: "what the hell is happening here?!? since when they become so hardworking!?"
so i ASSUME that they are just praying for prosperity (or fortune) SO i didn't care much and continue doing my things
but when i open the curtains that night,
i saw the moon
it was GORGEOUS!!
so i ASSUME (again...) that today must be a festival or something

i tried to google
"beautiful moon 2/11"
"thailand 2/11"
"thailand 2nd november"
"etc.."
but still no results
i gave up
today morning asked my friend only know
it was LOY KRATHONG yesterday!!!!
i missed it
damn!
my fren was like: "why you didnt go see loy krathong yesterday!!"
me: "how i know yesterday is what festival oh"
fren: "you should see lorr, why didn't you go?!?"
me: "i didn't know!!!!!!!! you got go meh?"
fren: "no..."
me: "=.=lll"

ok,
what they do during the Loy Krathong Festival.
in the evening,
when the moon began to rise on November,
people would carry one or two Krathongs (banana leaf boat) to the edge of brimful running water
then they would light up candle or incense in the krathongs and pray (i should have gone to pray for my marraige..damn! missed it)
this festival reminds me of 七夕 actually..
where girls throw oranges into the river and guys would pick them up! haha

during Loy Krathong,
they also releases Kom Fai (same as 孔明灯 lor...)

Kom Fai (credits to google)

P.S i didn't witness any of that.. i was busy STUDYING in my room ^^. information credits to google~

ok,
now some credits to Valerie for taking some nice pictures of the moon that night
(claps claps claps)
val: "awww~ duo jie duo jie duo jie (多谢X3)"

but it feels so much cooler and windy

almost like genting

i didn't edit the pictures and as you can see,

the whole place looks gloomy and cool

and it's 2pm in the afternoon!!!

the hottest time of the day!!!

booyahhhh~

while me and christine were having lunch outside

it was freaking windy

plastics bags were flying crazily

after that,

when christine hand out 20baht to the waiter

La Fermiere Yogurt

2009-10-31T03:13:00.005+08:00

came across this fab yogurt in silom complex
highly recommended by vicky and ♥val
it's like the best yogurt EVER!!!!
you will never ever want to touch those artificially flavoured plastic watery cup yogurts again

it comes in 2 different flavours (for what i saw in the supermarket)
natural (blue jar) and honey-orange (red jar)

i never liked natural flavour yogurts
because it's frankly TASTELESS
it feels so damn weird when you put something in your mouth that is tasteless and has this undesirable sour taste (yucksss!!!!)

but for la fermiere yogurt
ME LOVESSSS~
when you dig into the yogurt,
it's feel like you're digging into pudding..(well...maybe softer than pudding)
when you put it in your mouth,
FU-YOHHHHH!!!!!
YUMMAYYYYY!!!!!!!!
LOVESSSSS [♥♥♥♥♥♥]

but after eating this
i have this oh-i-feel-so-guilty feeling
because the yogurt has this creamy and cheesy texture
it tends to make you feel guilty for eating such rich food
but IT'S NOT!!
it doesn't contain a really high amount of fat or carbs in it
FU-YOHHH~~
i'm so going to fit this yogurt into my oh-i've-never-used-it diet plan ^^

for the taste,
i can only say it's remarkably AMAZING
you have to try it for yourself to know
GO NOW!!!

p.s the yogurt is fucking expensive. but it's worth a try.

long time no see!!!!!!

2009-10-24T20:59:00.006+08:00

say hi to nikki!!!
my i-bought-it-2-years-ago-but-never-used-it Nikon D60!!!!

i brought nikki back from my old cupboard at malaysia to show off some of oh-so-brilliant skills ^^
but i will never forget you my dearie sonnia (my old blinged up sony)..you will always still be in my heart ♥

here are some of nikki's briliant skills~
(i can't help setting the picture size to large as the pictures are so damn high quality!!! XD)
let's start with my room,

my kitchen ^^

(cough cough) a little...erm..untidy i may say

the oh-so-refreshing (NOT!!) view from my room

the place where i spend most of my time at ^^ [♥♥]

inside of my fridge

wall

done with my oh-so-humiliating room...==

start with random pictures!!!

yippeeee~

Muffin!!!!!!! [♥♥♥♥]

muahihihihihihihi ^0^

the book that i brings to school to SHOW everyone that

"hey! looky here~ valerie does study!!!"

a cute little japanese style toilet bowl i bought from taiwan~

madness lovess!!!! [♥♥♥♥♥♥]

another muahihihihihihihihihi ^o^

my dinner

guess how much it cost me

50 baht!!!!! = RM5/RM6

and look at the size of it!!!!! it's huge!!!! enough for two starving people.

but still...

i finished the whole plate by myself...

so..

muahihihihihihihihihi~

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

see the difference between photos taken by sonnia and nikki?

sonnia is great no doubt

but nikki is so much better (DLSR mahhhh)

the bad thing about nikki is...

it's just too dammit bulky!!!

i rather bring sonnia along when i'm climbing a mountain or something (which i would never)

but sonnia could never compare to nikki's high resolution and take those oh-so-artistic photos..

haiz...

guess this is where is phrase Pros and Cons comes in

did some thinking during the oh-so-boring ceremony (well..not THAT boring..)
thinking about my oh-so-convincing future
am i sure of this?
am i sure of being a pastry chef throughout my life?
the sudden gush i had when i saw those gorgeous cupcakes really changed my life
"mummy, I WANT TO BE A CHEF!"

how many people were shocked by the news?
hmm...let me see...
5? 6? 10?
i'm sure my parents were

imagine if i hadn't told them i wanted to be a chef..
maybe a veterinarian
"mummy, I WANT TO BE A VET"
(imagining) they would look so relieved and proudly tell everyone about it
"my daughther wants to be a vet!! how promising her future would be~"
"oh wow~ (claps claps)"

i want to prove that i can have a promising, wonderful and convincing future too

Intermediate Pastry Practical Exam

2009-10-07T23:44:00.004+08:00

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg
exam!!!!!!!

when i know i need to make opera cake
i cried
infront of chef fabrice
damn humiliating...==

i was so so so so so so SO afraid i will get opera
guess today is not my day...
i got opera
fuck!!!!!!

i cried,
a few times
afriad of failing
and wasting my parent's money

during exam
i got a little crazy
haha
normal
because i'm always crazy when i'm facing pressure

i panicked when my joconde biscuit got all squishy and start to split
so i quietly put back my joconde together like playing a puzzle when the chef is not looking
because i don't think they would like to see that XD

haha~
look at my uniform
after finishing the cake
i smell like coffee all over
and my whole apron is stained with coffee syrup XD
guess the laundry auntie is so going to curse me when she see's my uniform

cutting the sides of the cake
somehow feels like THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
because i can finally check whether my layers are even or not
if the layer arn't even,
i can easily FAIL
that's the "beauty" of opera cake~

jill stood beside me when i'm cutting the sides
i amost cried
i saw that my cake's layers arn't even
the buttercream is too thick..
and the ganache is too thin
T^T
but the good thing is,
the coffee syrup is completely soaked into the bisuits
thanks to the "thai massage" i've delicately given to the biscuits ^^

i wrote "OPERA" during my last 5 minutes
wow
fortunately i still manage to write some oh-so-readable writings ^^

i was shaking when chef fabrice is giving us his comments
especially when he looks at my cake
finally he said "all the cakes are perfect!"
omg!
relieved
but i'm still shaking
i'm terrified he'll say the word "EXCEPT"
"all the cake are perfect! EXCEPT.."
if that happens..
i will definately burst into tears immediately
but phewww~~
i don't need to waste my tears because

I PASSED!!!!!

apologies to the bad quality photos...

could never bring my oh-so-professional camera into the classroom

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

sentimental part:

still trying to figure out what's happening with me

non of my cakes turned out nice this term

WHY!!

i'm trying to do my best so i can make my parents proud

and don't want my relatives to look down on me and my parents

i want them to know that being a chef is also a profession that can be compared to nutritionist or a buisnessmen

DO NOT EVER EVER LOOK DOWN ON CHEFS!!

mommy wants me to make something out for you guys to try

no, i don't want

i'm scared

why?

because you guys have golden tongues

but still,

my mother still wants me to make some

ok, fine

so i spent several nights doing research, trying to find recipes that i can make at home [i have limited resources]

i feel so damn stressed that few days

like i was going to have an exam that might cause my parents to lose face

i made tartlets

small, simple looking tartlets

it took me the whole day to make those

looks easy

but it's not..

you ate it

i was staring at you

my heart was beating

your expression changed

and you said

"why is the tart case so hard? why is it so thick?"

i couldn't help it

my tears were rolling in my eye

i gave you a smile

and said

"oh really? okay, i will make it thinner next time"

my father wanted you to have more

but i can see that you hated it

you don't even want to touch it when i first place the tupperware on the table
my heart shattered..

but i'm never going to give up!!

i'll show you guys

i can do it

ME!!

VALERIE PANG SHERLEEN

WILL BE A GREAT PASTRY CHEF!!!

WATCH OUT!!!

p.s the "you"s is talking about one of my relative

get lost you...you...INSECT!!!

2009-08-12T22:49:00.003+08:00

ants!!!!
gawd i hate them!!!

those little bastards are now using my stove as their "fitness centre"
they would walk around my stove and back to their home again...

"kill the ants" has became one of my daily chores every morning
i've got so pissed off i stuffed their little home with [tissue+glue]

why use glue?
because water will eventually dry up and the tissue won't stick anymore
so i used glue instead of water
and it's not ordinary glue..
it's SUPER GLUE
cruel ain't i?

but just now,
while i was washing the dishes and watching ben 10
i saw some slight movements at the corner of my eye
two little bastards came out for late jogging
grrr...

how did they come out!!!!!!!
my plan was perfect!!!
the hole is still stuffed
so how did they come out!!?!?
i'm so going to squeeze the whole tube of super glue into the hole later..

Cookies Extravaganza!!!

2009-08-10T21:36:00.000+08:00

Cookies Extravaganza!!!!
looks at those beautiful beautiful cookies!!!!!!

feel like making some?
me too!!!!!!

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

-Sugar Cookie Recipe (makes about 36 10cm cookies)
460 g all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
227 g unsalted butter, room temperature
300 g granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

*i recommend to reduce the amout of sugar to 200g in the cookies if you want to decorate them with royal icing.

Procedure:
1. [flour + baking powder] --> in a bowl
2. [butter + sugar] --> mix till light and fluffy
3. add [eggs + vanilla] into 2, mix well
4. combine 1 and 2, mix till you have a smooth dough
5. flatten the dough, wrap with plastic, let rest in fridge for 1 hour
6. preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius
7. roll out dough to a thickness of 1cm
8. cut out desirable shape, place on tray, let it rest in fridge for 30 minutes before baking
9. bake the cookies in a 170degree celcius oven for 10 minutes or sides of cookies turned brown
10. let cookies cool down completely before decorating with royal icing

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

-Royal Icing Recipe
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoon lemon juice
330 g icing sugar
food coloring (gel paste)

Procedure:
1. beat [egg whites + lemon juice]
2. when there is no more liquid egg white in the bowl, add in [sifted icing sugar]
3. beat on low speed till smooth
4. add in food coloring

*to vary the consistency of royal icing, add water or icing sugar
*royal icing must be used immediately because it will harden when exposed to air

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

To Decorate:
1. use a thicker consistency royal icing to draw the outline of the decoration on the cookie
2. to hide the ends of the outline, use a small wet brush and touch the ends, it will dissapear
3. use a thinner consistency royal icing to fill the inside of the outline

*if you want to draw something on the surface of the icing, you must wait till the icing is fully dried

~♥Happy Baking Guys~~~!!!! ^^♥~

2009-07-08T17:22:00.000+08:00

for today's post
i'm going to talk about
-morons
-morons
-morons
-morons
-and more morons
enjoy.

the main character of my MORON POST today is
tadaaaa~
Aaron (i don't even know whether this is his true name)

i met him online
and yes
we talked and chatted
VERY VERY SOON
he asked me to be his girlfriend
i became so nervous i went to ask for opinion from joanne (which is so wrong)
joanne's opinion is:
"these chances don't come often, say yes."
so
i said yes

but his existence in my life didn't make me feel more loved
instead
he makes me feel nervous and scared ALL THE TIME
because he kept asking for sex
wtf
is that the only thing guy's think nowadays?

3 days
after 3 days i could no longer stand it
i've decided to break up (it feels like we never even started?)
that time
he's like
"why..why...why do you want to break up with me..i really love you..."
ehem...
reality check~
we barely even know each other ok.
wtf he's talking about love
and he told me 3 GIGANTIC HILARIOUS LIES
1. "you see that necklace in my display picture? i've already ordered it for you"
2. "i've been working so hard to earn money so that you can go study at australia, and now you want to break up with me?!?!"
3. "i have only 1/2 a month to live...couldn't you give me a chance?"
wahahahaha!!!!
hilarious!!
super hilarious!!!!
it's just the stupidest and most hilarious lies one can tell!!!

after that,
SILENCE
he suddenly dissapear from the surface of the earth
ok
you might think,
"he really have only 1/2 a month to live? and he's dying in the hospital now? poor thing.."

suddenly,
he REAPPEARED!!
wow!!!
magic!!
he's alive!!!!
he came back to look for me
he's like
"i still love you...can your forgive me? i've really changed..."
wtf!!!
he asked me out
so ok.
wth, shopping only maa~

so today,
i called him to confirm the time and date
then i told him that i'm bring joey along (she said it's not safe for me to go alone)
in addition,
i told him joey is a very very pretty girl
and he start to act like a GENTLEMEN
he said, "pretty girl so what? pretty girl so what?"
wow!!
such a gentlemen~~

and soon after i closed the phone,
a sms came in

wtf!!!!!! what he hell is he thinking!!!!! so i replied

his reply:

my reply:

after that,

SILENCE.

p.s to guys that want to defend him or yourself, leave me a comment ok.
and for those who think i'm a DESPERATE GIRL or something, i admit, i'm desperate.

it's our BP3 family photo~
isn't it sweet ^^

brings back memories though
memories when i'm still in kuen cheng
the line-ups,
the hairstyle check-ups,
the grrr-ings,
borrowing mirrors from each other,
the hair-combing,
us cursing the disiplinary teacher,
ahh~
what sweet memories~ ❤

but this year,
it's different
i can let down my fringe~
i can put make-up~ [which i obviously did]
and it didn't take more than 5 minutes...=0=

[in kuen cheng, we used to take more than 20minutes for a photo shoot....and we will wander around the school so we can skip classes XD]

❤ i'm loving it!! ❤
