I had bought the Bread Book by Sara Lewis a few weeks ago during an MPH book sale. Flipping through the pages just makes my mouth water with all those delicious breads, ranging from basic whites, to rustic and flavoured breads, as well as festive ones. I'd wanted to try something a little different other than the usual loaves I've been making, so after checking out a few options, I settled for

Online chat is a truly wonderful thing. Brings people together no matter where they are. And when you need to tread on thin ice without really confronting the other person, sometimes chat could be a good mediator of sorts.I've been asked a couple of times why I don't initiate chats, and thus might have come across as unfriendly, or a little... how shall I put it... unfriendly. Ok, I guess

PDA WoesIt's been ages since I last backed up the data on my Palm Tungsten T5. Granted that I almost never look at or use it, I still had a lot of contact numbers and files transferred over from my previous PDA which I don't have anywhere else. Ok, so maybe I should do that overdue backup, yes?I finally installed the Palm Desktop onto this new baby Dell; now that I had a faster machine, it

We have a Double Pie challenge today!Having combed through the Internet for good pie recipes, LB and I just went crazy over two in particular. Shall we make a sweet dessert pie? Or a savoury pie? Oh heck... let's do both!Part I: Apple Crumble PieI found this lovely apple crumble pie recipe from my favourite site, All Recipes. Hmmm, not too hard to make, just needed the right pie dish and

Wingz and I visited SCB (Lisa) this bright and sunny day, close to 12 noon. It was quiet on the floor; her father was there earlier, but had stepped out for awhile.Lisa's eyes were slightly opened when we approached her. With constant, gentle encouragement, she opened her eyes almost halfway, with her pupils focusing on us. A small tear slid down as we spoke to her at the beginning. I would

How strange could this be?I have no reason to be glum or down in the dumps. Life's been treating me kind, I have work to keep me busy and pay for my (rather) expensive hobbies and indulgences, friends who pop by my Yahoo window to say hello, drop in a word or in my comments and shout box, a nice comfortable house and bed to go home to.I should be thankful with what I have.

This week's been a mixture of emotions and happenings. It felt kind of disconnected at first, but as the days went by, things are starting to fall into place again.Work has been keeping me busy this week, which is partly why I've not blog-hopped nor posted much this week except for news on SCB. I think my brain is running dry of topics. Bummer. Is there a remedy for this?Speaking of SCB, her

It's been 10 days since Siao Cha Bor's in a coma. Although she's now breathing on her own and her condition stable, there is still little improvement since Lin Peh, King's Wife, Zara's Mama and Seng Kor visited her this afternoon.It is said that whilst a person is in coma, he or she could still hear when spoken to. In SCB's case, she has shown response when someone called out or talked to her.

I received this piece of news today:"She is currently in ICU in Gleneagle, Ampang. She collapsed while in Rum Jungle, last Saturday night (8 April 2006). Her current condition is stable, but still in state of coma until today."An update from JoMel later in the evening:"When I saw SCB, she was not hooked onto the ventilator.

I've been wanting to make tiramisu for awhile now, but I lacked the one ingredient - these long-shaped biscuits called ladyfingers. Only a few weeks ago I discovered that they sold it in Chang Thung as well as Yen (the other bake shop on the same row). Whoppee! LB's other colleague, Susanna had graciously shared her recipe for authentic Italian tiramisu. I changed it just a tad here and there

The last time I did any indoor rock climbing, it was for a competition at Summit Climbing Gym to humour my friends (who were the organisers) a couple of years ago. I haven't been indoors since then, mostly sporadic weekend visits to Batu Caves. Climbing had really taken a backseat in the last year or so, ever since I took up biking and went for more rides instead.Today, Eric and I decided to

This one came from LB's colleague, Cinzia who apparently bakes the most delicious cakes. We decided to try it out - same time, same day, different continent.

I'm guilty of compartmentalising people.You know, the art of putting the people you meet into neat little segmented classification of family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and strangers. Almost like putting different kinds of food into a lunchbox so you'd have a mix of goodies, but neatly separated in their wrappers, containers and such.But oh no, it doesn't stop there.I mean, it's easy

Hmmm.Can you believe it?I have a case of writer's block!I was thinking about what to write over the weekend, but it's been such a lovely, lazy one, I didn't quite get around to figuring out what to post. How now?Since I took Friday off, weekend was sort of unusually long for me. I wouldn't mind another dose of it, just ambling time away without hurrying. A bit of gym, some baking, yoga on

It's been awhile since I've had some time out during a work day, and it feels kinda cool, with no worries in mind! Aren't you jealous? *Grin*!Went to the gym in the morning for a quick workout.

Isn't it just typical of me to fall ill after a "holiday" away from Blogland?Since last Friday night's yummy-licious dinner of black pepper lala with beehoon and steamed fish with garlic among other dishes, my throat had decided to retaliate the burning torture of spicy peppers and chillies by giving me a dish of its own.Icky green globs.You know, the kind that looks like Calvin's (of Calvin &

In fact, I don't get this at all, except maybe once in a blue moon and they're mostly easily solved with lots of water.

After 4 months of infrequent gym visits and pigging out (in addition to wallowing in self-pity every few days), I've been slowly getting back into the routine of early morning workouts at the gym. I still can't do my 5km under 40 minutes, it takes me an hour these days. In time, I guess. Or maybe I'll just stick to a 10-minute jog each time and move on to another discipline like rowing or

The HighsThey say that by exercising, the body produces endorphins, which are like painkillers, thus "numbing" the brain, and gives the exerciser a natural high. This in turn has the effects of a general boost in mood and happiness.The right kind of music could elevate one's mood.

I'm sure most of you would've read about Sheryl Crow's break up with cyclist Lance Armstrong just last week. I'm a fan of both. Good things do come to an end.Back in November 2005 I went to Crow's concert with iJun.

After many days of eating Chinese food at every home and restaurant, I decided to add a little balance of good old English scones back to my diet. Since I had an unsuccessful attempt the last time making traditional sussex scones, I decided to leave out the raisins this round and just make plain ones.The recipe offered by My House and Garden on Buttermilk Scones looked easy enough.

The first day of Chinese New Year had just ended slightly more than half an hour ago.

I got tagged (again) by velverse (again). Initially I thought I'd skip this tag if it were another one of those "lists" that I've done twice now. But wait... what's this? A word challenge? Now, this is a different kind of tag. Heck, I don't mind doing it. Kinda keeps the mind ticking, eh?The rules:The unfortunately tagged have to write an entry of between 100-200 words, with these words included

I stumbled upon something called 'National De-Lurker Week' on 5xmom's blog, who stumbled upon it from some other foreign blogs. Hmmm, I didn't know there was such a thing. Did it start this week? Or was it carried on from last week? Oh well, doesn't matter.I'll declare this week 'National De-Lurker Week' for the stalker gang. Oh, and for anyone who reads this blog too. It'd be nice if you came

Dreams, in Sigmund Freud's view (The Interpretation of Dreams, 1899), were all forms of "wish-fulfilment" - attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past.I had an uneasy dream yesterday morning, just half an hour before my alarm rang. There were 2 men who were trying to get through the opened gates of my house,

It's my brother's birthday tomorrow, but we decided to celebrate a day early since it's Sunday and everyone is around for dinner. Today's venue: La-La Chong Seafood Restaurant at Terminal 3, Subang. To get there, drive along the old Subang Airport road till you hit Terminal 3 on your left. At the traffic rights just after the terminal, turn right. La-La Chong is on the left with a brightly lit

I've never been to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf cafe at 10AM before. My girl friends and I wanted one last meet before Cheryl had to fly off to London in a couple of days, and Jaclyn was back from Taiwan but will be gone again in April. Jo and I met up with the girls at the Sri Hartamas outlet.When I arrived, Cheryl was already tucking into their tuna pasta. I had the Big-O Breakie (I think that's

My mind's a little lost today. I'm relieved the weekend has arrived; I don't have to think so much.I installed Yahoo Widgets on my laptop a couple of days ago, but my Yahoo and MSN Messenger services went kaput, and everything slowed down. I had to uninstall and continue my technical life's existence without the Widgets for now. Yes LB, I need a Mac.Yet another bad driver on the road today

Not a very long one... *phew*!So...What are the 5 weird little secrets about myself?Weirdo #1:I talk to myself. Quite often. Eeks!

Today is Hari Raya Qurban (Selamat Eid ul-Adha, dear friends!), and thus a public holiday for Malaysia. I spent some time catching up with a couple of close girlfriends whom I've known for at least 8 years... Wow, has it been that long? We started out as colleagues in an accounting firm, then one by one we moved on to do different things. Despite the different paths we've taken, we still enjoy an

Pos Malaysia. Does that name make you shudder? It does for me. Let me relate.I went to the USJ post office branch at Giant slightly after 12 noon, just before the lunch crowd came in hordes to do their postal business. I had a parcel to send overseas, and not trusting snail mail to get it to its destination safely, I thought I'd try out their PosLaju service instead.For a first-time parcel

Ever wondered what's in a Kampar Chicken Biscuit? I'm too lazy to do a search on it, but if I remember correctly it definitely contained some animal fat, thus the chewy texture. And it's non-halal too, kan?Well, a few years ago I visited an aunt for Chinese New Year (well, not really my aunt, more like my mum's cousin). She offered me some Kampar Chicken Biscuit, homemade. They tasted really good

Oh dear... haven't been tagged before, really. LB is the first - so you should be honoured, yea! These are done a little hurriedly, but if I'd sit down and really think about it, I might've put different answers to them. Maybe a few days later you'll see a couple of them scratched out and replaced, heheh!The RULES : Remove the Blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone else up

We interrupt this regular program to bring you this special request from Zara's Mama on the recipe for Peanut Dainties.The recipe is taken from this old-ish cookbook my mum has, called "Favourite Cakes & Kuih". Ummmm... I don't know who the author is, but the publisher is Vista Productions Ltd. From the looks of it, I think this cookbook came up North from Singapore a way long time ago.On pages

I started out this post wanting to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of drinking alcohol. But then I thought it easier to just post what's on my mind rather than doing research on the Internet to substantiate my little "lecture"; that's just too much effort for the lazy me.So.What am I on to, anyway?Some friends and acquaintances of mine are going out for a boozy night this Friday.

Yea, I was rather skeptical of the name as well, but 122 reviewers can't be wrong about a 5-star rated recipe, right?Ok, then.Zucchini Brownies.We're gonna turn these green stuff into brown, chewy, moist brownies.

I can't seem to remember if I've set out any goals, too busy trying to stay... well, busy. What did I do this year that stood out? What happened? Why can't I recall the details?

It's only 3 days to 2006. I've decided not to make any new-year resolutions, because if there were any to be made at all, I would've done it a long time ago. Besides, why wait till the new year to start one; now's a good time as any.Managed to do 6.5 things out of my to-do list before the year is out. #6 depends on the Client; chances are it'll be 2006 before we're done.

I wanted to keep to my promise and bake something nice for my colleagues to munch, and judging from past failures, I decided to make the sticky date pudding for them as a safe bet (since that's already tried and proven to be good).Since I've done it before, this time it was a breeze... ta-dahhh!I'll leave it up to my eaters to comment on the taste of it tomorrow when I feed it to them.

My dearest reader,Thank you for coming, be you a first-time visitor or a returning regular. It'll be Christmas in a couple of days, and the New Year is just around the corner. Made a list of resolutions yet?I've been reflecting on the past year, what has happened, and what has not. Every year I think, "This has got to be the best and funkiest year ever!" This year... no. It's been a hard, long

Dearest Mum,I'm so sorry I didn't make it home on time for dinner.I woke up this morning feeling a little unwell and had a tinge of heaviness in my heart. Needless to say these sprouted the seeds of moodiness for the rest of the day. I tried cheering up, tried putting in my efforts in working efficiently but the nags of despair seem to have clouded my mind. I couldn't quite concentrate on work

5 more days to Christmas. 6, if you include today.People rushing around shopping for last-minute gifts, hunting down bargains. Carols sung in shopping malls, neighbourhoods, radios, portable music players. Dinner parties arranged, food menus planned, guest lists prepared.If it's like how it was a year ago, I would've started playing Christmas songs on my laptop early December. Old favourites
