and then change my blog skin to something more sophisticated.. cuz black is emo....!!

REALITY CHECK

However, one muffin was found to have end-terminal tumor.... Tumor was successfully removed and muffin survived to be a healthy one..!

Evangeline Stanley did the Quality Control Check... ^^

Conclusion :
Sweet, weee bit hard and weeee bit burnt and weeee bit dry but overall, it taste like muffin, sweet muffin ! ^^

Rebelious the birth to creativity...??????

Seriously, i am rebelious today...
I have nothing at home to eat for lunch, i told Jac to include me in if she's going out for lunch, then i walked pass my room, saw all the raw ingredients for baking (the box that keep these ingredients is located on walkway along my roomwall ma)... so i decided to bake my lunch..

i googled... for muffin.. click onto Chocolate Chip Muffin, scanned through that it's simple enough for me to bake, so off i embarked on the journey to prepare my lunch..

Chocolate Chip Muffins ingredients list:

¾ lb chocolate chips.
1/3 lb of soft butter.
4 medium eggs.
2 ½ cups of flour.
1 cup of sugar.
¼ cup of milk.
1 tablespoon of baking powder.
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
½ teaspoon of salt.

Instructions for Chocolate Chip Muffins:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter your muffin pan.
Beat the butter and the vanilla extract together to form a light, airy mixture.
One at a time, add the eggs, and beat gently.
Add ¼ cup of the sugar after each egg and mix thorougly.
Put the baking powder and salt in the milk, then add to the mixture.
Fold in the flour and the chocolate chips.
Pour the mix into your buttered muffin pan, filling each cup two-thirds full.
Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins turn golden brown.

.......

But somehow along the way, human nature (cheah yen's nature) prompted me to MODIFY some of the methods and ingredients....

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter your muffin pan. (yerp i did^^)

2. Beat the butter and the vanilla extract together to form a light, airy mixture. (hand got tired of holding the Hand Mixer + dont know what it means by "light airy mixture" so while the butter still looks like butter, i proceeded to next step)

3. One at a time, add the eggs, and beat gently. (yep i think i followed this one)

4. Add ¼ cup of the sugar after each egg and mix thorougly. (i followed as well, but the mixture is looking like "creaming" has occured, the butter partitioned from the egg, they didnt mixed well, like heterogeneous cream rather than homogeneous...nevertheless i proceed with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th egg, and beat more so that the butter goes into mixture, but nah >.<.

5. Put the baking powder and salt in the milk, then add to the mixture.(great, found baking powder and put 1 whole tablespoon into it, at least muffin is gonna kembang anyway even if something went wrong inside the muffin!..... but i couldnt find any milk in the fridge...... so i skipped this ingredient together with salt)

6. Fold in the flour and the chocolate chips. ( mmmmm, early before starting to bake, i took out wholemeal four, not plain flour... lazy to change it, i proceed using wholemeal flour......... choc chip couldnt be found, so i used raisins and nuts from the leftover from previous test-baking experience....)

(that's not it... after folding in the flour, the mixture looked to thick, cuz i remembered Jaclyn's muffin mixture wasnt that thick before... sigh...... scared that it wont kembang, i searched through the fridge again for signs of milk.... then i found Janica's chocolate milk and soya bean..... after doing some predictability calculation mentally, i decided to use Jan's choc milk... not 1cup as mentioned in method, but only 1/2 cup... cuz her choc milk is finishing so dare not use 1cup, woah! when Janica read this post, she's gonna come to my room and rotan me for using her choc milk, tsk tsk tsk tsk... kekekeke, joking!!! ............................................ so poured 1/2 cup of CHOC MILK into final mixture, mixed it all up nicely............. as if)

7. Pour the mix into your buttered muffin pan, filling each cup two-thirds full. (FINALLY!)

Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins turn golden brown.

with such an extend of modification to the original recipe, i wonder what comes out from Oven later.

probability of success
= non-modification to baking steps x non-modification to ingredients
= (2/7) x (5/9)
=10/63
= 0.158730158730158730158730
= teeeeheeeheeee....!!!! Lets all hope for the best....!!!!


Waiting for oven to "ding" so i can see my product.....

As predicted, Janica did come to my room at night...!! >.<'''
then she shouted "since when i ROTAN you", followed by hugeeee LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH... finally, she went into her room with my last piece of tumourous muffin, teeheehee....!!!!

Visited my college year's CF @ Campus Alive blog...

i am so deeply awed by God as i witness right before me, generation after generation of young people who are serious and passionate about God, graced INTEC.. and how they grow from strength to strength, glory to glory!


http://campusalive.wordpress.com/


God , i love you so much. You always make me in awe of You. even though i have left INTEC for three long years, i love so much to see and know that the juniors, super juniors, ans super super juniors are experiencing God Your hand at work so mightily in their lives at this season, and at the same time sending them as missionaries into INTEC to bring lost souls into Your kingdom!

Father Lord continue to empower them as the generation that has heard You calling and embraced Your love, who is even more eager to rise up as Your people to go into the world and build a church without walls, to bless souls and bring expansion to Your kingdom! Amen.

edited: i miss everyone in INTEC so much, even more those in CA... i wish to visit Akasia and Cemara and the monday market, and of course CAMPUS ALIVE, even though super super super juniors now would not recognise me at all....!!!!

WAAAAHHHHH....

i wanna cry >.<''''

i was "studying" the 3day-down-south-trip plan sent over by weiyue..

hardly even understand a sentence, cuz i hav no idea of "what road what place what to do what to book" that is mentioned in the email.. ended up googling almost every single thing!!!! confused........... headache......

then again, super amazed at the informations i found from the internet!!!!!

i really think perth is quite cool.

first, there's this Dawenville Channel....

It was constructed to alleviate an environmental problem which had developed where the estuarine systems had become eutrophic. The estuaries' ability to support the natural flora and fauna had become seriously degraded and the smell of rotting algae, particularly during the summer months had caused increasing complaints from residents. Stocks of the normally abundant fish and crabs had become depleted and recreational use was impacted. The deteriorating environmental situation became a major political and environmental issue for th WA Government during the mid 1980s.

The channel allows seawater from the Indian Ocean to regularly flush in and out of the estuary using the daily tidal movements which in turn prevent the build up of algae.

you can also visit this link to know more bout it

P/s: can you see the Dawenville Channel from the map there..? its man-made channel that opens up to Indian Ocean, other than the natural opening to ocean on north of the Peel Inlet.

okie then...

Found out that Busselton Jetty is more than just a jetty...!!!

read below:
Described as Australia's greatest artificial reef, the Busselton Jetty is home to an awesome forest of brightly coloured corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Busselton Jetty is the longest wooden jetty (pier) in the southern hemisphere , stretching almost 2 km out to sea from the town of Busselton, WA . Because the shallow waters of Geographe Bay restricted ship movement, a long jetty was required so that the cut timber could be transported to the ships. In 1839 Governor Hutt appointed "the place in Geographe Bay opposite the Settlement at The Vasse to be the legal place for the loading and unloading of goods".

The underwater observatory was opened on 13 December 2003 at a cost of AUD $3.5 million.
Since that time, over 250,000 people have visited the attraction. The underwater observatory is located 1.8 km from shore - almost at the end of the Busselton Jetty - and can accommodate up to 40 people at a time in its 9.5 m diameter observation chamber. Descending 8 metres below sea level, visitors can view the corals and fish life through eleven viewing windows.

http://www.busseltonjetty.com.au/ (must click)

but but but, after that only i found out that the jetty is currently only open for visit up to 200m from shore(not 2km!!!!!!!), and the underwater observatory is closed for re-construction until FEBRUARY 2010....!!!!

CRY.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanna bring my mum to see....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2km long Busselton Jetty view from air.

Yesterday we're in Abacus lab studying. Two of my frens and me were there. One friend called and asked if we wanted anything from MacD and it was already about 11pm. I wanted coke, my another fren wanted fries. So this fren of mine made the smartest-cum-loveliest decision ever! He bought a Meal- there's coke, fries and a burger of choice!!! on top of that, he got to buy this Bored(BOARD) Game at only $1 when he purchased a meal from MacD. muahahahahah!!

i think he somehow figured out this bored(BOARD) game suits me alot... so he gave it to me... =.=''' but it was very nice one, and i am yet to explore how to play this Trivial Pursuit. thanks thanks!!!! i love it a lot....!!!! ^^

nontheless, there's lots of questions in the cards to which the answers i hav absolutely no idea about. He and her, however, know most of the answers to all the questions.... >.<''' no wonder this Bored(BOARD) Game suits me, it's like a general knowledge education session for me , wahahahahahahahah!!!
