fabulous brownie cookies!

we're going to poker night tomorrow so i was surfing around for new cookie recipes yesterday. this one is aptly called "fabulous brownie cookies". ooh... just the sound of the name gets me all excited...

melting the chocolate and butter together...
couldn't resist tasting it, and i assure you, it was H-E-A-V-E-N!


me and my trusty USD20 mixer, beating up eggs and sugar...


the finished batter with extra choc chips added... look at that... ah...
had a hard time stopping my wandering fingers
from dipping into it and tasting it...


preparing the parchment sheets and spooning batter onto it...


into the hot oven...


voila! presenting the finished product!
the tops cracked like brownies and they were chewy inside.
IRRESISTIBLE!

i baked like 120 cookies in all, took me the entire morning from 10am - 1pm to finish baking all 10 batches. can't be helped cos i only have one baking sheet for cookies, so it's 12 at a time or i risk them coagulating into one other. you know it ain't pretty "when 2 become 1". (ok ok, so i listened to the spice girls, live with it.)

today, tropical storm noel has upgraded to hurricane category 1 status (i.e. least strength) and will be passing approx 340miles on the west of bermuda (i.e. on the east of florida and east coast of US) early tomorrow morning. the little palms outside my house are in for a tough time trying to stay upright. no worries, it will lose its hurricane status by tomorrow so it's unlikely we'd suffer anything more than just strong winds and rain. and when i say strong, i mean really quite strong, cos i did feel my car shake this morning when i stopped at the traffic junction waiting for the light to turn green. i mean THAT strong.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
