Lucky Me

I feel blessed. Actually blessed is arguable. But I shall not argue with the fact that I'm lucky. Here's counting my lucky stars:
  • I am married. Something I thought was just a dream cos of the lack of potential guys I'd meet in my industry. Who would've thought I'd be married to the most wonderful husband in the world, who loves me much more than I love myself. I have truly struck gold to have his heart ;)
  • We own our little flat for over a year now :) We're lucky to get it at a time where prices were just about to rise, so our housing loan is kinda low unlike prices now. I can even afford not to work! Haha!
  • I LOVE my parents. The most understanding, frank, and practical parents. There's nothing more I could ask from them.
  • I have a stable job. With bosses that care. Can't thank them enough for offering me the telecommuting arrangement!
  • I've never been really that stressed about school. Work, maybe. Generally I lead a stress-free life. Hence the excessive snacking. Haha!
  • Friends :) Very thankful for them. Friends For Life, YinCarFangMatt, the adhoc. Friends I can rely on, friendships I hope will last our lifetime.
  • We're not rich, but we're okay :) Sometimes riches aren't what we need.
  • I've managed to travel quite a bit. I'm the only one in the family who got the chance (chances, actually) to venture the world (Malaysia not counted).
  • Happiness. Love. To know what bliss is.
I always wonder what did I do to deserve these. Not that I'm not thankful! Whatever it is, I'm happy and thankful to be where and who I am now.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius. 

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
