Went to lelelelelegoland with family the day before i left jb. 
it really sucks, just as expected.
And i kisiao wore that killer shoes. My toes really stuck together like the movie Black Swan.
Ewww.
真的不是人穿的... 
But as the saying goes, "if it didn't hurt, it ain't beautiful."


My holidays officially ended. 
All my life at home is basically about baking and shopping, shopping and baking. hahahah.
i savor every precious moments with my family, my dog, my bff, my sisters and my boyfie of course! 
 i also managed to meet my primary best friend YEO XIN YI the day i left. Cho love. <3
But most of the time, i was lazing around and watching my favourite Kang Xi. 
Even on Da Nian Chor 1, both me and my sister were wearing new clothes and watching tv on the couch like sack of potatoes wtf.
But i just love all these. 

My pineapple cookies. First time making. 


Yesterday was valentine's day! 
Nothing special, had a lil fight with boyfie in the morning coz he decided to watch movie with his friends ON VALENTINE"S DAY!!!
How could i not be mad?!
But i've forgiven him coz later i was weeping so hard on his lap i wiped all my mucus on his pants lol.
Anyway, i really dislike festival like this, super mafan. 
ok not so mafan when i received the gift hahahahaha. 

My daisy eau so fresh. 
i hinted him that i want this but he didn't get it so i told him in his face LOL.
What to do when you found the most insensitive boyfriend in the world. T_T
Must be buey paiseh! hahahaha.


To XiaoLuan: you don't need to see his picture lah, you already know his face what lolol.
See my picture enough, i so pretty. hahahahah.

outfit for valentine's day.
Both dress and studded clutch from Bugis again.
Cho love the clutch, do u see the heart shape? It's only SGD 25!

We went to Anna Kitchen this time. Somewhere behind the Thistle Hotel. 
Wonderful place for couples to hang out!
The food is great too!

His chicken with honey and garlic.

My pan-seared fish. Abit spicy but acceptable. 

i love how they combine their unique brownie with mint ice-cream instead of the usual vanilla.
 Perfection. 


Anyway, thank you.
Thank you for never leaving me alone even when i was being unreasonable. 
The long-distance relationship taught me one thing:
being together is the biggest happiness. 
Not roses. Not bears. Not chocolates. 

Marc Jacobs fragrance? ok maybe. LOLLLL

Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes!


Dono where or why i got this sudden urge to bake. 
i even made a to-bake list during my study week lolol. 
So papa got me a new oven and i haven't stop baking ever since the day it was delivered to my house.
And there's a whole chicken currently roasting in the oven when i'm typing this hahah!


The first item in my list is...

TADA!

Strawbie cheese cupcakes!!!
Niceornotniceornotniceornot???

OK dont jealous. i will share the recipe here (Got it from other website also).
There are three parts in the recipe: Crust, batter, frosting.

For crust, the ingredients needed are:
Digestive cracker crumbs
125g of butter
3 tbs of granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 170 C.

Mix the crumbs and sugar and butter. 

Press into cupcake liners with fingers and bake for 3-5 minutes until slightly brown.
Done.

For the batter, you need:
4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
12 tbs unsalted butter
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar 
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup sour cream (i used Nestle plain yogurt)
2 cups fresh strawberries

Beat the egg whites with 2 tsp of sugar until stiff for 3-4 minutes. 
i youtubed to watch how to beat egg whites somemore wtf.

Then in another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
In another, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
i hate this description coz i never know when it is light and fluffy enough. =.=
So i just agak agak like that wtf.

Add the flour mixture and sour cream/yogurt. Mix together.

Gently fold 1/3 of egg whites into the batter. (if you do not understand 'gently fold' like me, again, youtube is your bestfriend)
Do not overmix or the cake will fall flat. 
Add the remaining egg.

Hull and dice the strawberries.

Fold into the batter. 
Love this picture so much. Damn pretty ok.

Fill into the cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes. 

TADA!!! Cho pretty!

The moment it's done, i understand why people love baking. T________T

Not yet done!
We need frosting!! The most exciting part! 

The ingredients for frosting are:
250g of cream cheese
125g of unsalted butter
300g of icing sugar
1 tsp of vanilla

Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together. 
Add the sugar slowly. 
Beat till light and fluffy (again wtf).

It was so fun to do frosting!!!! ^^
Then decorate your cupcakes with strawberries or crumbs if you want.

Nah i win my man's heart by these four cupcakes. 
LOL just kidding. 
He loves me so much i don't even have to bake a shit. lolol.

Now, keep calm and bake yours.
