campINC: MockCamp

Today was definitely a fun day! :)

Went for mock camp! Super tiring lah, I really can't run you know. The last time I went jogging was... Err... Can't remember. Haha! And hor, not like my jogging is power lah. I is super slow. As long as it's not walking, I'll call it jogging. HAHA. Gone are the days of getting NAPFA test timings...

Anyway! I am glad I went for this, even though I don't really know the people there. Haven't been meeting new people a lot. I'm quite an anti-social. Need to mix more.

It's fun to relive the uni days of camps and games. Camps like this brings back memories of the fun fun times. A deviation from the usual working life. It's enriching, refreshing. Makes me feel young. Wahahaha! Not that I'm old, but being with undergrads brings back to uni days! Oh how I love those years :) Best schooling years of my life! And... It's been ages since I went for a school camp! Ooh! Someone said I look young too! Whee~ AHHAHA. Oh wells.

The only bad thing about today is that I have become the Queen of Biratness. All that running and being exposed to the hot sun made my face super red and birat, and the hotness on the face hasn't gone away till now! Sian. I hope I don't get too dark because of today and the camp later. Once Queen of Biratness becomes tanned, it's difficult to un-tan.

But but! Definitely looking forward to the actual camp! I hope my students will be in my group ;)

Oh yah! I wanna go Botanic Gardens again! Please please please!!! :))) This time, no running of course.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
