Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Broke the frame of my glasses yesterday. Damn. And like that's not enough, it fell in the toilet bowl. Tried hard to put scotchtape but it didn't stick well. Now surviving on UHU glue. I hope it can last me till I get my new pair on Wednesday (or Tuesday, if it's ready).  If not then it's either walk around blindly, or wear my sunglasses with degree. Either way I'm like a blind person. Haha!

Other Half says my face is chubby now :( Fine I know I've gained more kilos than I should have, and my growing appetite especially for yummy fatty food like chocolates and french fries isn't helping. Sigh. My muffin top isn't a muffin top anymore. It's an overflowing cake blob instead. How I dread the thought of losing all that extra weight. Would I have the determination? Haha. There's a nice little park near our home, and that would be perfect to jog, and go for walks. If I wanna fit back into my old clothes, then I'd have to shed the extra pounds. And cut down on my very much loved chocolate sobsob.

Tuesday This morning while I was praying, a cockroach came beside me. Bloody hell! Another one in our room! It's not like I have food lying around! Even in the kitchen I make sure I don't have food lying around for cockroaches and ants to feast on. Yet they are still around! Do they eat wood or something? So irritating to see cockroach shit here and there. Tsk. And I wanted my kitchen to be cockroach-free :( I suspect they either come flying into the house, or from the rubbish chute, or from the drain. Bleah. Makes me miss London cos there seems to be very little cockroaches there, though there was a small mouse in our studio instead. Haha. Wednesday Time flies! It's exactly three months to D-Day! Am so super duper excited to meet you! Wonder how you'll look like :) The journey thus far has been very good and easy on us both. And I am very thankful for that. I pray that the rest of our journey will be smooth-sailing insyaAllah! Thinking about what's to come is...

I tried the mango cheesecake on Wednesday night! Yup late night baking! Started at 9 plus, and crumbling the digestives really took some time! I also didn't read the recipe properly, that it requires 1 and a half hours to bake, and a further 1 hour to cool before refrigerating. I cut short the cooling time to 15 minutes under the fan, and popped it into the fridge cos it was time for bed. Here's the ingredients with some modifications. The original can be found at Diana's Desserts . Crust: 1 1/2 cups digestive crumbs 1/2 cup granulated sugar 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3 oz/85g) salted butter, melted Filling: 3 large very ripe mangoes peeled, pitted, coarsely chopped (makes 2 cups) 3 (250g) packages cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 3 teaspoons vanilla powder 4 eggs Instructions: For Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Lightly butter a 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Stir cracker crumbs and sugar in med...

I have stumbled upon a gem of a dessert recipe website! It's called Diana's Desserts . Came across it when I was looking for mango cheesecake recipe . Have leftover mangoes that could be used for something yummy and sinful! Like cheesecake! Muahahaha!!! So now all I have to find is cream cheese. I do hope I can get it at the grocery shops near my house cos I feel like doing it today. Or else I'd have to stock up whenever I go to a bigger supermarket. In times like these I miss London! It's a baker's heaven there.

I am very happy today I don't know why! I wanna start this marketing pay per use scheme with my mum. Suggested by my sister. Haha. Since we're only cooking for two, with some days I don't even know if I'm cooking or not cos Other Half knocks off late from work, raw food goes to waste. Like the other time I bought too much tahu, tempe, fish and some other stuff which don't have long or freezable shelf life. It's a pity to throw them away, but they can't be rotting (literally, hurhurhur) in the fridge for so long. For things that can only be bought at wet markets, I've asked my mum's help to get them for me and I'll collect them after work. Today I've requested for ikan bawal and/or ikan cermin. And my mum went to buy both. I know she will cook the rest, so might as well just tompang and take some. She buys onions and potatoes at 5kg packs too, maybe I can do that with those. Speaking of which! I've run out of onions! My mum's ...

Stupid me lost my balance and splashed into a puddle of mud and sorta sprained my ankle. I hate it hate it! And I was wearing CLOTH shoes. Bloody disgusting. Luckily the mud was not very thick, and I think my foot is okay. But still. That TOTALLY affected my mood. I hate pools of mud. My last encounter with mud was TERRIBLE. Splashes all the way till above the knee. I hate losing my balance. I hate wet shoes. Wet dirty shoes. And I'm having a bad tudung day. Freakin' slippery material, I should have worn extra pins. And I'm feeling some sort hungry. But I ate rice for lunch! I hate it when I eat but I don't feel full. Why! Why don't I feel full! I wish I had a huge slice of cake here muahahaha. I am soooo gonna to fry those frozen mini donuts and smother them with nutella for breakfast tomorrow morning!

Dear God, Please protect these wonderful, kind souls who so often give free food to me and little one :) There's always food to eat! May they never be short of rezeki, may they be blessed by You always, and have the very best of happiness, health and contentment in their lives. Amin!

Was clearing my Pictures folder, and I came across this, which has so much meaning for us now ♥ :) And I love you very much, my dear husband :)

Omg I can't sit still!! My butt aches when I sit too long, and by long I mean like fifteen minutes? I need a plush cushion for my Princess And The Pea royal behind.
