Procrastination... this is sinning to myself...to GOD the creator...the sin of laziness...
The questions that will and might pops out are..why..what..how? My other passion besides cooking..baking..munching..."sunsetting"...that's from my limited edition vocabulary list which is known only to me...to share with you.. are writing and photography. Day by day I kept telling myself that today i will find time to sit and write something and get on with my 1st assignment but i always have other issues that will deter me from doing so. So hopefully by posting it on my blog it will remind me of the urgency that i have to scribble away and get busy with words and alphabets. Hey...wait a minute..i have actually started...i am writing right? Fine...and bravo to me...will continue next in my next posting..ciao to all...

Donuts Attack...on a Sizzling Sunday Afternoon

Its crazy...its madness...its awesome...my first attempt of making my own donuts...though the looks of my donuts is not as "mouth watering" as Apple Donuts...but yet it was a real 1st attempt success....no...wait...a blessing from GOD...as per Fr John's sermon this morning...
I have been craving for donuts for ages...and yesterday i bought the donuts recipe book and so without wasting any more precious moments...I decided to venture...
So after my Ice City treat with the children i bought my ingredients and it was...bumblebee buzz and buzzed in the kitchen...
Its really indeed a blessing when someone finally invented that machine that we called the "bread machine". It certainly makes sense when it comes to preparing the dough for the donuts...
The task was so much lighter and burden lifted when it comes to the kneading and rubbing part...i hate that...but with a bread maker...its really a GOD sent kitchen helper.
From today onwards we will see more donuts coming from my kitchen...still not satisfied with the results, even though it was a "finger licking" donuts.. because i have yet to perfect the finishing touch of my donuts...close to Apple donuts standard...well..no harm in targetting that level...right?
The recipe? Anyone who is interested it is as per details:

A:
400g High Protein flour
100g Superfine flour
10g instant yeast

B:
80g sugar
10g salt
20g milk powder

C:
1 egg
250g cold water

D:
100g butter

2. Beat at medium speed for 5 minutes and add in D.
3. Mix for further 10-15 mins un til it is smooth and elastic.
4. Leave the dough on floured surface, covered with plastic sheet and let it rise for 30 minutes.

6. Cut it out and transfer to a floured tray and leave aside for a further 30 mins.

I hope this DIY donuts will stir some excitement in your kitchen....happy experimenting and fun..ciao..

English Vs BM

What an issue...and what's happening to our education system...in short..it has become a victim..the future generation...talking about being global...this is just pure nonsense...
For how long are we going to tolerate all this..can someone just try putting themself in the shoes of those children and those teachers...
Education is what will groom and shape the future generation who will in turn rule our country Malaysia...and at this point in time..the numerous times that I have come across candidates for interviews..the standard of their English command is a nightmare.
For every cabinet minister reshuffled...the education system is not spared..from one minister to another there is always changes...from English to BM..from BM to English...back and forth.
How many of their children are faithfully being "Malaysian educated"...lets just be fair and square with each other...there's no exception for anyone...if they think that to teach Maths and Science in BM will prove the better for us Malaysians...please make sure that their children are also studying right here in Malaysia...not overseas.
Being able to converse well in English language is an art itself...and being a Malaysian we can learn and grasp the BM language at any time....finally...please be kind to our education system...just maintain what we have now and let it grow and flourish to a greater heights....

Start Over...crosses my path today and it goes like this...

When you have trusted God and walked his way
When you have felt his hand lead you day by day
But your steps now take you another day...

Start over...
When you made your plans and they have gone awry
When you have tried your best and there's no more to try
When you have failed yourself and you don't know why...
Start over...
When you have told your friends what you plan to do
When you have trusted them and they did not come through
And you are all alone and it's up to you...
Start over...
When you have failed your kids and they are grown and gone
When you have done your best but it turned out wrong
And now your grandchildren comes along...
Start over...
When you have prayed to God so you know his will
When you have prayed and prayed and you don't know still
When you want to stop cause you've had your fill...
Start over...
When you think you are finished and want to quit
When you have bottomed out in life's deepest pit
When you have trried and tried to get out of it...
Start over...
When the year has been long and successes are few
When December comes and you are feeling blue
God gives a January just for you...
Start over...
means "Victories Won"
means "A race well run"
means "God's Will be Done"
And that means don't just sit there

Doggy Walks...

As I drove home from morning mass today I noticed a dog waiting to cross the road...and I wonder if that little doggy can managed to cross over to the other side...

What a mighty awesome God we have..that he created these adorable furry creatures that is able to watch and wait till it is safe to cross the road...that doggies are able to estimate the distance of an on coming car before it can make the decision to walk on safely...

Have you all ever wonder about this?
Amazing....that they are created in such manner...thank you LORD for letting my mind wonder and ponder about your mighty works...Amen
