I MADE PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

I was going to make muffins ytd for my mom's breakfast today.. but she says she's sick of western food for breakfast and wants something else... and then she suggested pancakes...

I know right? isn't pancakes western? hmm... hahaa... =) told you my mom is cute!!!

anyway.. so i made pancakes this morning... =) i've been making pancakes for my parents breakfast since i was 12! i remember when we were overseas they hardly went out for breakfast cuz there weren't any "kopi tiam" overseas so we'd have breakfast at home and i'll make pancakes, sunny side up and bacon! =)

sigh. but now that we're back in S'pore i hardly get the chance to cook breakfast anymore!! cuz there are so many coffee shops around!! and my dad plays golf on Saturday mornings and goes for breakfast with his mom on Sundays... pooo!

but anyway... i digress... what's so special about today's pancakes?? i didn't come from a Betty Crocker box!!! i made it from scratch!!!!!! =) and its really simple actually...

First put flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl

Then in a separate bowl mix melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla essence together

And then combine the dry and wet ingredients together and you have pancake batter! so simple!!

Then do a "sacrificial pancake" to test the heat of the pan... my sacrificial pancake ended up being the nicest looking pancake despite the recipe saying that it will fail...... haha..

See? making pancakes is so easy!!!

after 30 seconds...

TAHHH DAHHHHHHHH!

I must say this pancake recipe is really not bad! you can eat the pancake on its own and it still very tasty! yay!

this is the way i eat my pancakes, eat my pancakes, eat my pancakes...
this is the way i eat my pancakes all day long!!! =)

i have to cut it into cubes first then i can eat it... haha.. but at Mac's i have to cut it up, piece it back together into a circle then eat... hahaaa.. last Friday was funny, Jack kept poking fun at my pancakes...

OH! i put bananas INTO the pancake as well!!! look! can you see?

And of course i have to play with my breakfast right? i like the effect of the light!! my pancake is glowing!

OK! that's all.. are you hungry now?? wahahahahhaaaa!!

i think i'll be a great mother... don't you? every week i'll bake something for my kids and then make pancakes for their breakfast... wahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!! my lucky kids!

someone has to make me stop drinking coffee!!! obviously my imagination goes wild when i drink coffee.. wahahahaa...

anyway... off to yoga class!

will blog later about the gym area and my daddy's wonderful idea! wahahhaaaa!

so i spent the whole of last night doing up an exercise/diet plan for the next 7 weeks of holidays..

and the plan backfired on the first day.... so much for determination...

i need more determination and motivation!!!!! if not daddy's going to kill me!!! he's already been asking if i've been on the treadmill often/if at all.. hahahaa..

sigh.

GUESS WHO'S BACK?!?!?!

my mommy's back from the states!!!!!!!!!!!! aww.. i missed her soooooooooo much lah... and i'm glad she's back in one piece... hahaaa!!!! mmmuackerooos to mom! =)

OH. and she brought back the cutest things... she brought back astronaut food.................................. hahahahahahahaha! tastes like............ well..... its supposed to be cookies and creme ice cream... but it tastes like... cookies and creme chalk... oh well... =) if you can't have fish, then you have to make do with prawns... hahaaa...

Cookies and Creme Ice-cream and Frozen Strawberries (which we have yet to try...)

AND OF COURSE....... she brought back giftls for all of us... i had the biggest loot of course... wahaahaaa... ahh.. love my mom!

1) a baby doll top!
2) Sunnies!! YAY!!!
3) O magazine.. i actually squeeled when i saw this! like a sua gu like that... cuz i've always wanted to get a copy but its just too ridiculously priced in S'pore!
4) 2 tees from this shop called "Aero" its supposed to be sleep wear but it way too cute for that! so i'm going to wear it out! wahhahaha..

YUPS! that's all! and Thank God for blessing my mom and sister with a safe journey! =)

so, on monday i went out with Nana to Vivo and checked out my phone! which is 398 with a plan! so ex!!!! see whether my mom wanna sponsor anot.. but i just got sponsorship for my haircut cuz of nana's clever idea! hahaha.. she said since my dad likes my new hair so much i should ask him to sponsor my haircut! and he agreed without much hesitation.. so yay! more money for me! =)

went window shopping which is something we haven't done in a long time! tried alot of clothes.. and even though i haven't went up a dress size... i can tell i've put on a lot of weight in the last 3 months... so i'm going to start running and dieting again! before i become a lump of blubber!

speaking of exercising... i'm going to play golf with my family this weekend... not only i get to exercise i'll be able to look out of young rich guys! wahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!! but that's another story for another day... wish me luck!!!

anyway... i baked a cheesecake ytd... and its all gone now!!!!!!!! my brother and father really liked it...and of course i liked it tooo! wahahahaaa... so here are the pictures!!!

Step One - break all the digestive biscuits and add butter and sugar... this part was quite fun actually... i like smashing stuff!

Step Two - fill the baking tin with the digestive biscuit... the first mistake i made.......... layering the baking tin with baking paper... it ended up burning in the oven! and when i opened the oven the whole kitchen was all grey with smoke!!!!

Step Three - mix cheese, sugar and eggs... the second mistake i made... i didn't know that you're supposed to wait until the cheese is at room temperature then start mixing!!!! so i tried mixing the frozen cheese with the beater and it kept getting stuck!!!!! until i put in the sugar then it became better... haahaa.. when the mixture is smooth then pour into baking tin...

put it into the oven for 15 mins... and TAHHH DAHHHHH!!!!

but its not done yet... the recipe told me to put a layer of sour cream on top of the cheese cake... so i decided to put sour cream and lemon juice! which turned out to be DELICIOUS... cuz the lemon gives the creamy cheese a lighter taste and not so jer lat..

put it back into the oven for 10 more mins and TAHHH DAHHH DAHHH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! its done!!!!

TIP TO ALL- do not attempt to remove the cake from the baking tin until at least after it has cooled for about 5-6 hours...

but silly old me... i thought that since the recipe said cool that means when its at room temperature then i can take it out already right? WRONG!!!! look at what happened to my beloved cake!!!!!

and it cracked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(the brown stuff on top is not pork floss... its the crumbs from the crust! ahahaha.. )

but nevertheless..... it tastes DELICIOUS in my humble opinion.... =) it may look like crap but it tastes like heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright.. there you go! that's what i've been up to for the past few days... =)
