Brownies

5th August 2012

Dear Chibi,

In this week’s episode, I tried to make Chocolate Brownies following this recipe! The method and ingredients is similar to Rocky Road except it’s baked in the oven like my Muffins! Again, I decided to bake two batches, one on Saturday (for guinea pig testing) and hopefully a better one on Sunday.

Here’s my end result:

Mmm…juicy and gooey ~ Served with Cookies & Cream ice-cream :D

Muffins Galore

29th July 2012

Dear Chibi,

This weekend I decided to try baking muffins! It proved to be more challenging than I thought. I made a batch of 12 on Saturday which turned out pretty disappointing. The muffins were burnt on the bottom and all around the edges. The shape was also pretty weird. About half of it end up going to waste. After evaluating what could have possibly gone wrong (there were several factors) I was determined to make a better batch the next day.

This morning I headed back to Woolies to find some muffin paper cups. On Thursday night I had bought the wrongs ones (they were for cupcakes), so I thought I could just do without the paper. Oh how wrong I was~ XD

This is the end result of my Macadamia, white chocolate and raspberry muffins!

mmmmm! I’m really happy with how these came out today :D After the second batch, I had a few more left over for a third batch. The third batch was the best :D

I heart Titanic

27th May 2012

*Plays ‘My Heart Will Go On’*

Dear Chibi,

Last night I watched Titanic for the first time in my life at the IMAX Theatre in 3D. I never watched the film when it came out in 1997, but I knew about the hype and have always been meaning to see it. Lucky for me, it recently came out in cinemas again after 15 years (and remastered), so this was just the perfect opportunity! You would think after 15 years, the story would already be spoiled for me, but it wasn’t. I didn’t really know what to expect. All I knew was that it’s about a two lovers who meet on the gigantic ship which eventually sinks. That pretty much sums up the plot, but all the juicy parts come from how it happened. Everything about this film was mind-blowing amazing to me. While the CG and special effects were impressive, it was the romantic plot between the two protagonist which left the most impression on me. Such a epically romantic, tragic and thrilling tale….just love it :D

Definitely a film not to miss (If there’s still anyone else out there who hasn’t seen it XDD)
