Baking day




Chocolate Walnut Biscotti were somewhat biscotti-like, not as hard as it should be but it's got the good chewy crunch to it, crispy on the outside.



These oatmeal with walnut cookies were a fail! never again NEVER!!! Well maybe it would be better when I didn't burn it... hahahaaa!!!






Apparently, this coconut macaroon I made for the first time is the best macaroons that my parents have ever eaten. Even better than the grocery store ones =) and I thought Superstore coconut macaroons are awesome but mine is better =p

Coconut Macaroons
4 large (120 grams) egg whites
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup )65 grams) cake flour
2 1/2 cups (220 grams) sweetened coconut

Whisk together egg whites, sugar, and salt in a stainless steel bowl over simmering water until mixture is warm to the touch. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, flour, and coconut. Cover and refrigerate for an hour until dough is firm. Preheat over the 325 degrees F and grease 2 baking sheets. Place 1 tablespon of the dough on baking sheet with several inches apart for spacing. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 2 dozen Macaroons






My banana bread on the other hand turned out great, if it wasn't for the extra dark exterior. Otherwise, the inside is moist and sweetness is just right. My mom doesn't like too sweet of a dessert, so this is good =)





My chocolate chip cookies are all time favorite still, it never goes wrong (well my second batch kinda went wrong because it was undercooked and so I decided to leave it in the oven for a bit longer, except I kinda had to run some errands and didn't have a chance to take it out the oven when I was out of the house). First batch though is awesome. Second batch turned out to be very crispy, good thing my older sister likes crispy cookies.

"Making the studies"

Lately I have been living at the library, literally. I study, eat, sleep, and.. lets not forget - slack - here at U of C library.

Thankfully I'm not alone. haha~ I love my library funny laughter moments with 柬埔寨-弟安!

I'll just list a few moments worth making note about:
  1. The most retarded laugh - genuinely hilarious & very Confucius-like walk
  2. Panda that plays Gunbound... with moving eyeballs.
  3. The infamous 道明寺 that dances somewhat like Rain... not quite but he tried. (I'm sure he loves Rain and watches his dance videos every night)
  4. Very loud but pretty girl - kicked out by the librarian... cause someone told on her
  5. Thought of using some very potent ingredient, dex.
  6. Reviewing finals on the finals directly... nice pretty blue booklets =)
  7. Endless phone calls to wake up a pig... ME
  8. Purple shirt with pretty red gloves, very pretty style with pretty gay voice.
  9. ... [There is more but I can't remember, list will be updated]
Because of these moments, I am not so stressed out at school. In fact, I laughed so hard that I even cried with happy tears many many many times. Thanks 學長

Thanks for making my night =)

splurge of the moment




I made another batch of those "most-awesome-all-star chocolate chip cookies" last night right after I got home from school. It was good timing, first batch of cookies was done right from the oven when my bf stopped by my house =) yum yum. I made two trays of 12 cookies each and I was left with batter that was a little dry with excess flour... so they turned into 2 monster cookies hahaha!! To make sure I don't eat the cookies non-stop, I brought it to school today to give to friends =) of course, they loved it. <3
Maybe I'll make some more tonight with Halloween discounted candy (smarties chocolate), perhaps that will stop my binging on candies hmm.

Nick Vujicic


What do you when you fall down? Get Back up~ When you feel like you dont have the strength to get up, Do you think you have hope? Try 100 times to get up, if fail 100 times, and then I give up... do you think I will everget back up? NO!
When you fail, It's not the end, it matters how you finish. Are you going to finish strong? Find the strength to get back up. -- like Nick Vujicic

歌詞:

Forever Love(王力宏)
愛你不是因為你的美而已
我越來越愛你
每個眼神觸動我的心

兩個人的煙花(黎明)
最愛你的是我
否則你怎麼樣我
否則我怎麼可能赴湯蹈火
你說甚麼都做

如果.愛(張學友)
如果這就是愛
在轉身就該勇敢留下來
就算受傷就算流淚
都是生命裡溫柔灌溉

童話(光良)
我要變成童話裡
你愛的那個天使
張開雙手
變成翅膀守護你
你要相信
相信我們會像童話故事裡

很愛很愛你(劉若英)
往更多幸福的地方飛去
很愛很愛你
只有讓你擁有愛情
我才安心

我願意(王菲)
我願意為你我願意為你
我願意為你忘記我姓名
只要你真心拿愛與我回應
我甚麼都願意為你

好想好想(古巨基)
好想好想
好想好想
好想好想
和你在一起

明天我要嫁給你(周華健)
明天我要嫁給你啦
明天我要嫁給你啦
要不是你問我
要不是你勸我
要不是適當的時候你讓我心動

不得不愛(潘瑋柏/弦子)
天天都需要你愛
我的心思由你猜
I LOVE YOU
我就是要你讓我每天都精彩

陰天(莫文蔚)
開始總是分分鐘
都妙不可言
誰都以為
熱情它永不會減
總之那幾年
感性贏了理性那一面

飛機埸的10:30(陶喆)
baby baby baby baby
baby baby
是不是擁有以後就會開始
要失去
我給你的越多
你卻越想要躲
愛已無法回答所有的問題

那麼愛你為甚麼(黃品源/莫文蔚)
離開你是傻是對是錯
是看破是軟弱
這結果是愛是狠
或者是甚麼

你怎麼捨得我難過(黃品源)
最愛你的人是我
你怎麼捨得我難過
對你付出了這麼多
你卻沒有感動過

愛我別走(張震嶽)
愛我別走
如果你說你不愛我
不要聽見
你真的說出口
再給我一點溫柔

讓我歡喜讓我憂(周華健)
就請妳給我多一點點時間
再多一點點問候
不要一切都帶走
就請妳給我多一點點空間
再多一點點溫柔
不要讓我如此難受

原來你甚麼都不想要(張惠妹)
原來你甚麼都不想要
我不要你的承諾
不要你的永遠
只要你真真切切愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好 貪心也好
最怕你把沉默 當做對我的回答
原來你甚麼都不想要

用心良苦(張宇)
你說你想要逃
偏偏注定要落腳
情滅了愛熄了
剩下空心要不要

祝福(張學友)
傷離別離別雖然在眼前
說再見再見不會太遙遠
若有緣有緣就能期待明天
你和我重逢在燦爛的季節

吻別(張學友)
我和你吻別
在無人的街
讓風痴笑我不能拒絕
我和你吻別
在狂亂的夜
我的心等著迎接傷悲

把悲傷留給自己(陳昇)
能不能讓我陪著妳走
即然妳說留不住妳
回去的路有些黑暗
擔心讓妳一個人走

征服(那英)
就這樣被你征服切斷了所有退路
我的心情是堅固我的決定是糊塗

聽海(張惠妹)
聽海哭的聲音
嘆惜著誰又被傷了心

味道(辛曉琪)
和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻
和手指淡淡煙草味道
記憶中曾被愛的味道

我懷念的(孫燕姿)
我懷念的是無話不說
我懷念的是一起作夢
我懷念的是爭吵以後
還是想要愛你的衝動
我記得那年生日
也記得那一首歌
記得那片星空
最緊的右手
最暖的胸口

領悟(辛曉琪)
啊!多麼痛的領悟
你曾是我的全部
只願你掙脫情的枷鎖
愛的束縛任意追逐
別再為愛受苦

月亮惹的禍(張宇)
都是你的錯 在你的眼中
總是藏著讓人又愛又憐的朦朧  
都是你的錯 你痴情夢
像一個魔咒
被你愛過還能為誰蠢動

我們的愛(F.I.R.)
我們的愛
過了就不再回來
直到現在
我還默默的等待
我們的愛
我明白
已變成你的負擔
只是永遠
我都放不開
最後的溫暖

你把我灌醉(黃大煒)
你把我灌醉
你讓我流淚
扛下了所有罪
我拚命挽回
你把我灌醉
你讓我心碎
愛得收不回

眼淚(范曉萱)
哦 眼淚
眼淚都是我的體會
成長的滋味
哦 眼淚
忍住眼淚不讓你看見
我在改變
孤單的感覺
你從不曾發現
我笑中還有淚

情非得已(庾澄慶)
只怕我自己會愛上你
不敢讓自己靠的太近
怕我沒甚麼能夠給你
愛你也需要很大的勇氣

你是如此難以忘記(梁朝偉)
你是如此的難以忘記
浮浮沉沉的在我心裡
改變自己需要多少勇氣
翻騰的心情該如何平靜

心太軟(任賢齊)
你總是心太軟心太軟
把所有問題都自己扛
相愛總是簡單相處太難
不是你的就別再勉強

Forever Love(王力宏)
Forever Love Forever Love
我只想用我這一輩子去愛你
從今以後
你會是所有
幸福的理由
Forever Love
Forever Love
Forever Love

From Van, straight to school T_T

Thank you guys for making it back to Calgary on time and I made it to school on time because of you guys =D even though I so did not want to attend this class, but I'm glad I did 'cause I got two assignments due already HAHAHA. I still cannot believe my road trip ended like this, straight to school. Give me back my aquarium souvenirs Mr. W! Hopefully that woman this morning doesn't report anything, but I don't think they can do anything about the incident (plus, we weren't the only one that did it). I think this vancity trip was pretty good in the end, because I got to go see the aquarium and finally ate some sushi =) then there was the fail moments we all at least tripled per day. Also, never forget about the rules we made while playing some drinking game similar to Kings LMAO,
  • No pointing - EPIC fail for little J.
  • No profanity - almost EPIC fail for Mr. W, he tricked us with his cancel card. duma! HAHA
  • Animal sounds after each drink - too funny, quadruple fails
Also there was one more thing worth mentioning, I think it was Lady J that said "why so serious"... then I, "let me put a smile on that face!" XD unexpected humor is the best!

Take Two!




I used the above M&M chocolate chips to bake these new batch of cookies =D but this time it didn't turn out as well as the last time (first time of baking the CHEWY chocolate chip cookies). They say, beginners luck, well I agree. It's always like that with everything I bake, the first time is always the best tasting. I can never replicate my recipes aw man!! Well, at least... I gave it a try and it was a great time killer. I enjoy baking a lot actually. I think I am eating too much of my baked goods, I should stop baking hahah! I am gaining weight XD I baked these cookies with M&Ms because my mom doesn't like chocolate chips that much, well too bad the tiny gold container only had two cups of M&Ms but I needed 4 cups of chocolate chips LOL, so I HAD to add extra chocolate chips that she didn't like =.= I guess that was pointless. One day, I want to open up my own shop of bakery hehe.

Square Pearls

最安全衛生的珍珠奶茶
Now we can make square tapioca pearls for our own bubbletea!! looks like it is worth trying at home =D

An Inspiration?

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.”

Joan Rivers quotes (American humorist, b.1935)

This quote appeared in the movie, the Kungfu Panda. I was once reminded by a friend of this quote, it's quite interesting and very wise. I will think about it whenever I think life is useless, hopefully this qouls be my inspiration to keep going. As the Taiwanese say, add oil~

Summer Baking 101

This is what happens when I get really bored... after looking at online food blogs =.= Then the worst part is, I eat them all because it's so GOOD! The recipes I use are all from online sources, I can't take credit for any of them =)

I baked these super chewy and soft in the center chocolate chip cookies for a friend's birthday, yum yum yum. It still stays soft and chewy after 4 days of baking, it is definitely worth a try yourself =D

Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • 1 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cup flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  1. Beat butter, vanilla, sugars and eggs together
  2. Stir in flour, salt and baking soda to form a stiff dough
  3. Stir in chocolate chips.
  4. Drop dough by 1/4 cup measurements onto ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart
  5. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes at 375 degrees
yum
These blueberry muffins are REALLY yummy also, I love how jumbo sized they become and how moist they retain even after a whole week of it stored in the fridge =) I love to eat the cap also, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes, I changed the plain yogurt to blueberry yogurt to give it that extra berry kick.

When you're lonely, who would you think of?






Beautiful song with two different versions above...
Singer: Nicholas Zhang
張棟樑 - 當你孤單你會想起誰


English Translation:

Your mood will always change
You run after every little thing
Wanting to hold on to some comfort
You like to walk in the middle of crowds
Your greatest fear is the coming nigthfall
But the sky will grow
The people will eventually leave
There's no one who can acompany someone forever
And that lonely feeling must be eventually faced by all
Not only you, but I will feel that tiredness

When you're lonely who will you think of
Do you want someone by your side
Your happiness and pain
can only be felt by me
Let us walk together for a while

* * *

I feel the song and the sorrow
only, no one to sing it to me T_T
it's okay, I'll imagine Nicholas Zhang
he's cute =)

I should start feeling better
because, I eat when I'm sad,
my body is like a balloon,
only the opposite of a balloon
easy to expand,
hard to deflate ...
F**K, I tell you,
gym would be my second home..
lock that snack pantry away from me,
only gimme tea and more tea.
TONIGHT, is my last night of binging.
oh MC is here, great. just what I need...
more pain.

%$@^%$%$#@$!!! I swear, no more junk food
NO MORE! f"
my daddy made me cry today =.=
my mom still unreasonable.
my cat is my best friend <3 sam

&& props to the song writer

New

Away with sadness,
welcome happiness.

Oh and hopefully,
my social life would come back too. ha-ha-ha....

Commitment

Sometimes I wonder what is true love?
I've seen lots of examples of love, where it doesn't really sound like love to me. I see how each couple interact, I see how they hurt each other, how they make each others' lives happy... I see how they may break up. For what? at the cost of what? Well, this entry isn't about my commitment, it's some pondering after hearing some news from my family and whatever is going on with that family member.
***
A girl is being asked to marry her 4 year+ long-distance boyfriend but not because he asked, because his parents and her parents asked. Do we expect them to get married simply because Chinese culture says so? Would this marriage be happy and faithful? I absolutely love the girl and want her to have the best in everything, but in this case, even I can't help her. She's stuck in this transition of career and love. If career only comes because of love... is it even a true self-earned success? I don't honestly know what is going on but I can only hear so much information. She's too upset to talk to me right now, she told me "everything is fine, don't worry," but she said that with a sadness in her voice. I know she's been crying, I can tell but what can I do? Let her have her quiet time, let her think it through. Even if I was beside her, would she let me help her? I can only communicate with these people through a modern technology that isn't so modern anymore, a telephone, or better yet, digital phone - skype. I wish and hope everything works out for the best, the best of everyone. Also, I really hope that she would come to me first before I have to hear it from a third person. To think, I am her younger sister after all.

Our 20th




The cafe we cut our cake at =D

I have to say, I think my 20th birthday was the BEST one. It was the best one because I got to spend it with my very good old friends that I have not seen for almost 9 years ! That's almost half of our life~ It didn't have to be fancy, with lots of flowers or money spent, just a couple of good friends and with the right atmosphere, that made my night =D and I am sure it made their nights too. These good friends, two of which are girls, birthday girls too~ Since our birthdays were very close together, we decided to celebrate it on one same day. Just like the old days, in elementary school, we would always hang out together hehe. When I left Taiwan, that was half way through grade six, these two girls were my partners in crime~ we roll together. I miss those days =( well I got to say this day June 03, 2008 made my wishes come true, I didn't need to make a birthday wish because it already came true right then and there.

People worth mentioning: These two boys that were also old classmates that used to make fun of me all the time, hehe boys, and I used to hate them XD but now we all grew up to be better people. They called me and asked if they could celebrate the birthday with us, well OF COURSE! I wasn't gonna reject them, the more the merrier~ They came and sang birthday song for us, and drove us home =) Thank you. Also, there were these strangers that walked past the cafe we were cutting the cake at, but we didn't have a lighter to light the candles T_T and obviously we don't smoke (we like to be strong and healthy) and the cafe owner didn't have a lighter (non-smoking environment) so I looked outside and made eye contact with one of the guys... HAHA! He seemed to understand me, he mouthed me some words but I didn't understand him at first, so instead of mouthing words, I made hand sign of a lighter and pointed to my candle. It looked like there was a light bulb right above his head or something, he understood and searched his body for a lighter, then asked his group of friends for one, and walked into the restaurant right after. Was I ever glad they walked by! They sang happy birthday for us in Chinese and then again in English. I have to say, Taiwanese are nice people, I didn't know until that day. Last but not the least, the cafe owner; there was no other customers when we walked in with our cake, normally cafes do not allow outside food right? well, he let us enjoy our cake and made lots of noises and even became out photographer =D he was so nice!

I am so glad I made a decision to go back to Taiwan just like that. At first, I didn't want to go back to Taiwan because I would have to use my own money to pay for the airplane ticket (like always) but then I WANTED to go back because I miss everyone (friends, family, relatives, everything good about Taiwan) ... so I would always keep myself updated with the flight prices, until one day... the flight only cost $999 CAD! I jumped at the chance and bought the ticket =D
