The phase of my life...

The phase of my life now is uncertainty - Doris

After watching "Pursuit of happyness" and the "Crocodile in the Yangtze", I have a different angle of looking at my life now.

Over this weekend, I really get inspired by these two movies. Despite both of them are from the different movie plot, they have the same teaching lessons: Never give up, Have a dream, Have Values.

In Pursuit of happyness, I can see that Will Smith and Jayden Smith really are good actors. They brought out the tears in me. What a truly inspiring movie, where you can learn not to give up so easily on your dreams, your passion.

Chris Gardner faces different phase of life. Being placed in position on facing financial difficulties, break ups, distress moment, he still will be able to continue to find ways to get to become what he is today, an entrepreneur/ stockbroker.

Here are some of my favourite quotes from the movie:

24th Birthday 2016

This 24th Birthday gave a lot of insight to me.

Reflecting time, I have been facing a lot of Ups and Downs since my 23rd Birthday until now.
I have undergo depression, anxiety, excitation, happy, anger and a lot more.

I have graduated on November 2016. I knew it is going to be the time for me to decide where I am going to. Seeing friends having constant jobs, having master to pursue, having StartUps to do or whatsoever. Yet, I am still here looking down on my feet, thinking which path should I step into.
I know, and I really understand I have been wasting so much time figuring and playing the guessing game. Time waits for no one and it is gold. I always chose to stop thinking and in the end stop giving myself a chance to make myself a decision.


But, what makes me feel happy the most is I always have friends constantly giving me support and consultation. Well, I am serious and no kidding on this matter. No matter where I go, I surely have support and help from majority of friends and also my family of course ( my dai kor, my er go, my xiao kor, and my babi). The people that surrounds always give me so much of energy and motivation, which keeps me going on my path. I couldn't finish counting and naming them all. And I am really blessed of having all these people surround me. Some of them also gave me the deepest insight and outsmart me on every situation. That's the greatest gift I have ever received in my life and I have no regrets.

I hope, within the timeframe of my 24th Birthday to 25th, I am going to live to the fullest and greatest one regardless of which path I am taking. I know I am going to make it and I know I will. :)

Breadmakers and products

I have successfully purchase SKG brand breadmakers which costs around RM300++ on 9th September 2015.

I am not a big fan of breads, pastry, buns etc. But, I would still love to make these products sometimes. General speaking, I love baking. :P

Here are the recipes that worth to share and save for:


No butter- Eggless white bread recipe
Ingredients:
Fresh Milk (Cold) 285g
High protein flour 375g
Salt 1.5 tsp
Brown sugar 30g
Yeast 1.5 tsp

1. Mix all ingredients according to bread machine preference.( For mine, I go with fresh milk, high protein flour, yeast, brown sugar and salt).
2. After 3 hours, remove it and slice it after cooled down.

*Make sure to dig a hole in the centre of protein flour and place the yeast in, after that cover it with the remaining flours. (avoid the yeast to be in contact with the liquid, salt and sugar)

Pumpkin Kaya
Ingredients:
Mashed pumpkins 450g
Thick coconut milk 200g
water 100g
Brown sugar 150g (Can reduced based on your preference)

1. Mix all the ingredients above into the bread machine and press JAM function
2. After 1 hour, blend the mixture until smooth ( I skipped this as I like the course texture of kaya)

**Make sure to cover the opening of container with aluminum foil to avoid spills

Future? Where? Where should I heading to?

Generally speaking, I do feel indecisive at times. I do not know what to do for my next steps. Even I have already make my decision at one point, but I pull myself back after that.

Every day I am figuring what do I like the most? Can I incorporate those what I like into my working jobscope in the future?

There's always one conflict in my mind. Get paid VS able to do own stuff & have more free time. That's rather impossible. But I hope this is it.

I love cooking. I love baking. I love fitness. I love gym. I love science. I love theories. That's what I am certain of. But, love and passion is two different kind of thing, so I am not sure if I can include them together- to work on the stuff that I love to do.

I guess I will be a dreamer then. :P hehe.

Baking Journey Started

I've always wanted to bake cake/cookies/bread since long time ago. My first time touching  the "baking" things was at the age of 16. 

But what surprise me was that I failed 8 times in total until this year 2013. Believe it or not, I have been failing for the simple cakes- Butter cake. 

How shameful and ridiculous to be a girl. Finally I successfully baking the first cake at Angel's house. Thanks to her powerful egg beater and convection oven. 

 This is the success picture i took :P

 (WAHAHHA feel like a chef)


 

Well it's a good turnout after such long time, happy for myself, happy for the friendly people surround me that giving me advises. 

 Recently, I've joined Facebook Group named Baking Wonderland introduced by one of Seremban friends. I think I've addicted and keep on looking all the recipes posted by all the aunties, mama's, and even some yan dao guys.

I love baking, but not eating the cakes, how weirdo am I.

After for a short while, under encouragement by daddy, he bought an oven and electric mixer for me which cause ard 400 bucks total. Feel grateful and thank u very much daddy.

  


Instead of making tonnes of  choco cake in the toilet for the past few years, I'll be baking choco cake in kitchen starting now... ha ha...
