OMG OMG OMG! I can't help it but I'm so proud of myself! You know why?

'Cos it's my first time! And I did it successfully!

Tell me tell me, does all these look particularly familiar? (Click on pictures to enlarge)

Mascarpone cheese. Coffee syrup. Sponge fingers. Sifted cocoa powder.

Of course they don't duh!

But yes, I bake again. After so so long. Since STPM and since working and since entering uni, I've not baked cakes for such a long long time. Which resulted in most of the unused ingredients expiring. So today, I did some shopping.

It all summed up to a fucking RM 99.10 and burnt a hole in my pocket. All thanks to the mascarpone cheese (RM 16.80/250 gm, and I bought 500gm) and the kahlua liquer (RM 5.80/bottle, and I bought 4 bottles)

And guess what I baked guess what I baked!!!

TA DAHH!

IT'S TIRAMISU!!!

The black thing is actually sponge fingers soaked in coffee syrup. You seldom see it in tiramisu's selling in the public but really, a real tiramisu should look like the picture above; ahem *cough* made by the ever talented, Me *cough*.

I seriously can't put into words how I felt when I took the cake out after 3 hours from the fridge and loosening the mousse mold and very carefully sliced it out.

Ahh the greatest joy and fullest satisfaction. It felt even better than eating it! And listening to the rest of the family members saying good things about it upon seeing it and putting it into their mouths... euphoric.

My first time making it okay! Shouldn't I be a little bit more shameless today?

Oh oh, and I also made Chicken Floss Spring Rolls successfully.

I'm a very happy woman today

 
That's my apron I'm wearing. I got it from Kemahiran Hidup class when I was in Form 2. And I  it to pieces.

Food of the day:

Guess what's this. Then click on the picture to see whether you guessed it right or wrong. Remember to guess first, then only click. NO CHEATING OR I'LL RIP OFF YOUR TESTICALES AND NIPPLES. (H A H A H A  like lah I can do that) See whether you have a great sense of er, foodaholic like me? Or not. (Keyword: What is a mascarpone?)

Next,

 Pandan Muffin.
Haven't tried this yet. Will reheat it tomorrow morning as my breakfast. Bought it at an impulse. It just looked so... buy-able.

There's another one, Ice Blended Caramel. But I finished it while I was moving like a snail in the traffic jam today.

Speaking of this, I can do multiple things while I drive in a car. Eating, drinking, talking on the phone, typing SMSs, ransacking my bag looking for money to pay for the toll just because I never wanna be like one of those stupid annoying slowpokes paying for tolls (no offense, but please lah, dunno how to prepare money first meh?), putting on my seatbelt when I go 80-100 km/hr on the highway after realising I forgot to, sleeping (yeah), dreaming, and studying (OH YES). So, er, anyone dare to ask for a ride from me? Or carpool? Or best, DRIVE ME. I'm damn sick of driving sometimes.

Lots of thanks for the pictures to dad's camera and of course, their products:

It's so much better than Starbucks IMHO.

By the way, got one stupid experience to share. (Anyone realise I kept using the word 'stupid' these days? Hm.)

I went to Bangsar Shopping Centre to teach again today. So after class I took the nearest lift to get to the carpark. And I thought,

"Shit. Which floor did I parked at..."

I remembered seeing B2 when I took the first lift. I pressed B2. The door opened, and I saw a partially empty carpark. I walked out aimlessly, and I thought...

"NO no no no nononono... this is NOT the floor!"

An angmoh who came out from the other elevator on the same floor even asked me, "Lost? Lost your car?" before snickering at me.  

I went up to Basement 1, but it's not even there. Feeling rather stupid (see, again), I finally went up to the third floor, went out to the shopping centre, took the escalator to the ground floor and went back to the same elevator where I first came out from. This will definitely not be the wrong one.

Then passed by CoffeeBean. I stopped and hesitated for a while, then later stepped into it. On first thought, I only wanted to get myself a drink. Then I saw the cheesecake, and decided to get it for Jie. While waiting for the barista to take my order, I absent-mindedly spotted the Pandan Muffin. It looked so edible. Or buy-able wtf. So I asked for that too.

The total was RM26.88. I took out the cash I have in my pocket. The ONLY cash I was left with. And counted.

2 red notes, one green note and 2 blue notes. (You do the math)

Sweat. Just enough to spare myself from the unnecessary embarassment.

Paid, took my stuffs and rushed to the 'correct' elevator. Then I thought again,

"Shit. Which fucking floor did I parked at lah?"

Randomly, I pressed B2 again. Wrong. Press B1. Wrong. Finally, I pressed LG. The door opened and a very familiar environment caught my eyes. YESSS. It was the floor I parked at. YESS! I felt so rejoiced for that moment.

I walked to my car, drove out and followed the 'Exit' sign. Then suddenly something struck me when I saw cars inserting the parking card into the machine.

I HAVE NOT PAID MINE YET.

How fucking stupid(third time) was that? All I remember was eat eat eat & EAT only.

The more stupid(fourth) thing was, I was left without cash. Remember, the only cash I was left with, I used it to buy food. I took out my purse and took out all coins. I thought the parking would roughly be around RM 2-3. So I took out RM3. THE ONLY COINS LEFT. I double parked my car somewhere near and walked to the machine. I inserted my card and mahai you know what it read?

"PLEASE PAY RM 3.20"

I stomped back to my car and took out the RM 2 note I initially spared for my tolls. Went back to the machine and did the necessary. Luckily I still had sufficient coins to pay for the tolls later.

Haih. I don't know why I was feeling so stupid(again!) all the while also. Got ATM card in my purse mah.

P/s: I am so self obsessed. There's a total of 52 'I's in this whole entry out of 788 words. That's about 6.5%. Oh and 5 times 'stupid'. I really need to jazz up on my vocabulary. Otherwise next time all I can ever type in my blog is

"Today is a stupid day cos a stupid cat stupidly scratched my car. It was so stupid blah blah blah stupid."

Since I installed the glorious Adobe Photoshop once again after so long, I've been photoshopping pictures so religiously. Dunno why.

Heck. McD's Chocolate Top also have to kiss. Or toast?

I really do.

Ahem.

Your shameless blogger.

This time I post something with my face shown.

Sorry for the lousy quality. All because I compressed the video kau kau (from 221MB to 98MB).
