Merry Christmas

Christmas Time is finally here,
It only comes but once a year.
And it's a time to spread good cheer,
To those we love and hold so dear.

Not so successful Cheese Cake

Ann's version cheese cake.

Hmmm....my first attempt in making cheese cake ala Secret Recipe.  Can't figure out what went wrong.  The cheese filling seems too soggy and the crust base a bit too hard.  Alamak....

Though a lil out of shape and some minor errors somewhere, but the taste...yummy. 

The ingredients are as below.
Biscuit Base
100 g Marie Biscuit (choc flavor)
75 g butter (melted)

Cheesy Filling
4 yolks & 45 g castor sugar (mixed)
250 g cream cheese
12.5 g gelatine double boiled with 50 ml water
150 whipping cream

1 pck Oreo Biscuit (large)

Method
For the crust
1. Crumbled Marie biscuit, mixed evenly with butter.
2. Press biscuit onto plate.
3. Chill in the fridge until firm.

For the filling
1. Whisk yolks and sugar till pale and creamy.
2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese till smooth.  Add in yolk mixture, mix well.  Pour in gelatine, whipping cream.  Mix well.
3. Pour in half portion of cream cheese onto crust. 
4. Place oreo biscuit on top.  Cover with remaining cream cheese mixture.
5. Chill in the freezer for at least 4 hours till firm.

Ah Pa's 81st Bday

Ah Pa...wherever you're...
Today's your 81st Birthday....

Every year, your birthday reminds me
how grateful I am that you are my Ah Pa.
What a privilege it is to observe your strength,
your competence, your kindness.
If all fathers were like you,
the world would be a very different
and much better place.
Happy Birthday...my Ah Pa.

Finally...I'm done

Exam's over....my final exams.  What a relieve....

Exam Tension

Every students regardless of age would normally feels nervous before an exam. Worrying thoughts & butterflies in the stomach.
Questions like these probably sounds familiar.. 
"Will I be able to answer the questions correctly?"
"Can I remember all the facts that I've read?"

These are indications of examination stress.  Nerve tension produced by sudden gush of adrenaline.

Too much anxiety may BLOCK thoughts, creating a negative frame of mind that lead to panic and potentially poor exam performances.

That's what I'm feeling right now...
Hmmmmmm...SOS

Today, I broiled some herbal chicky soup for my brain.  Replenish it with some nutrient sort off......

Hopefully, it could work tripled hard for me on my final hurdle.   

Exam season again

I'm supposed to prepare for my finals in which will be happening 3 days in a row.  I guess I'll be adding this topic to each of my next few posts as I’m to over engrossed with my exams. At this moment, my brain and it’s entire system has malfunctioned due to excessive load.  
"You're in a big trouble, a really big trouble!",  I heard a whisper from inside me.  
How do I go about stuffing all those facts in my lil tiny organ up there ? Spending grueling hours memorizing linguistics terms which are killing lots of my brain cells……
I think some of my friends had formed study-group or must had completed their modules (cover2cover).  Hmmmm, as expected…I did nothing.  I just slept, did the usual stuffs…..Facebook, Astro …..Am letting the whole world know about how lazy and useless I am.  Hahaaaaa
This morning…3 December morning…I sensed …disaster is coming.  Therefore, I decided to skim my modules.  Alamak…so many to remember..so many to know..so many to understand.  Time’s running out ! Oh Gosh…
