me, myself and i

Today I got the mood to come to the newly open shopping mall which is about 10 minutes drive from my place,and have some alone time here. In fact, i came here for Mc D brekkie last Friday too with some quick shopping. Recently i am very lazy to get out from the house, don't have particular reason, just feel too lazy....

So here i am, in Starbucks,  it is rather small but cozy place. There are 4 tables taken including mine. Two tables discussing about business (i don't mean to eavesdrop their conversation but the table arrangement is very near with one to another), another one lady also having her alone time just like me.

I am just wondering or imagining is there a possibility that a guy walk over and want to sit down and have a drink with me. hahaha... i am day dreaming i know... hahahaaha

Time to go, ciao

回忆母亲节

今年母亲节，我和姐姐带妈妈去吃韩国餐。当天早上，趁张大女学芭蕾舞，我就去做指甲。然后就等姐姐接完孩子放学，载妈妈一起来吃韩国大餐啦！爸爸没来因为他不喜欢韩国或日本餐。
大家都超爱吃的。

                                              我们去一间叫朋友的韩国餐馆吃。很好吃哦。。。

过后，本来打算带妈妈去洗头，她说她前一天才洗。所以我就带妈妈去做脚底按摩，就是在龙华的“大桶水”的足浴。忘了提妈妈之前从厕所出来不小心滑倒。还好没什么大碍，不过伤到了几根脚趾头和脚板。这里的按摩师傅妈妈非常满意，因为脚痛改善了很多。之前我星期六只要有空就会带她一起来这里按摩的。不过之后张大女的补习排得满满的，所以我们其实很久都没光顾了。那天其实张大女有补习的，不过我们吃韩国餐到很迟，误了补习时间，所以索性没让她去补。
 
我们按摩到傍晚，就叫老爸来载我们，因为我没驾车。过后陪了两老吃晚餐。后，他们送我回后，我就自己去洗头了。 然后又再陪张郎和孩子们吃，回家梳洗后就去看 The Amazing Spiderman 2 了。这次的戏很长，我坐到腰有点酸（不懂是不是按摩按过头）。还蛮好看的。

母亲节我过的很充实，第二天我包了个红包给妈妈。希望她天天都健康开心。

成就感

今天，补习学生告诉我成绩进步了。其实之前另一个学生的成绩也是进步了（这学生的妈妈"威胁"我，如果孩子的成绩没有进步那就不要再继续了）。我很安慰。

其实之前要开始在家收补习学生时还蛮抗拒的。因为一直以来我都不喜欢教小孩子的，我喜欢跟大人沟通。可是在家真的闷得发慌，而且还有一个更加见不得人的事实就是补习比教学院好赚。经过种种的考虑，我才开始收学生的。虽然现阶段不学生不多，不过只要他们的成绩有进步，而且听明白我说的，那就够了。

题外话 - 孩子们都很喜欢上次做的巧克力蛋糕，而且帮佣也喜欢。其实我自己不是很喜欢这类很rich的蛋糕，不过我很享受制作过程，真的帮我舒缓我的情绪。如果下次你也控制不了情绪，可以试试煮煮啊，烘培啊之类的东东哦。。。

Long time no bake

It is been a long time since i last cooked and baked something for the family as the water rationing been going on for almost two months. So i am back again with baking. I am making chocolate cupcake but different ingredient from last time.

Ingredient:

• 120g butter
• 100g brown sugar (this is a reduced amount, its original sugar content is 180g)
• 140g HL milk (original ingredient is evaporated milk)
• 1egg, beaten with fork
• 60g plain flour or cake flour, either is fine
• 30g cocoa powder
• 1tsp baking powder

Combine sugar, milk and butter in a bowl over another pan of boiling water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Remove from heat.

                      Add beaten eggs into the butter-milk mixture and stir to mix evenly.

 Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder into another mixing bowl, then pour in the egg batter and combine until evenly mixed (cake batter is runny).

                                      Prep up the steamer and heat up the water till boiling.

                  Steam over medium heat for 45min (or 15min in cupcake (oven, 180 Celcius).

 Note:

• I have also added some chopped toasted almond and walnuts topping right before steaming.
• If you have extra that can't be finished, you can keep them in the fridge and steam them for another 2-5min before serving, they are as good as fresh.

 Let's pray it turns out to be a tasty one!! finger cross!!!
