Since christmas, I have taken a new hobby.. and its baking. Probably not the best hobby considering one of my new year resolutions is to get fit, but oh well.. a brownie a week can't hurt :)
I have since ventured into new territories.. from pastries, to biscuits and cakes. The feeling of whipping something exotic up and having your loved one taste them is so wonderful..
Hence, I have collected a couple of really good recipes that are not only easy to do, but also very reproducible. There are heaps of recipies our there where by either the ingredients are too hard to get, or the recipe cannot be followd accurately. To date, I have found 1 excellent biscuit recipe, a crunchy lemon cupcake one ( courtesy of my dear collegue) and today I am going to try Chocolate, Almond, Orange Brownie... let's see how that turns out.

Cheers to the a new decade !
“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
The dawn of a new year has come upon us. Christmas and New year symbolises a chance for renewal and starting over. I dedicated this chirstmas and new year to be thankful for everything that has occured over the past 10 years of my life.
My trip back to KL this christmas can be regarded as one of the most meaningful trips back home. The big family reunion was simply splendid. Though some vital family members were missing, they were constantly in our thoughts and prayers.
This new year signified a great celebration of success for many members of my family. Each member has in their own way acheived something significant over the past decade. The strata of the family and standing in society has also changed remarkably. In addition to that, we have become an incredibly globalised family... from members in London, Africa, Copenhagen and Melbourne.. oo and not forgetting neighbouring Spore. How more globalised can one family get ?? The culture and opinions brought by these varied influences makes us very unique.
Celebrating the dawn of a new decade with an incredible level of hope and optimism was the highlight of my trip back. The high from new year's day will have a lasting effect on me this year.
Not to mention all the crazy fun I had with my cousins.. can't believe how grown up and cool you all have become. Will never forget the 3 am swimming saga ( with Heineken's floating on the sidelines..and tequila shots.. wohoo!! ). It indeed was the best Christmas and new year and all thanks to my amazing BIG family !!
Love you guys !!
