Hmm… Maybe I’m consoling myself for feeling bad after doing badly for Chemistry Common Test - bad I don’t mean like B or C ok? Bad.. Next to my grade she wrote: " :( Way beneath what you’re capable of! " Hmm.. see, I feel really silly now! :/ I’m not as smart as I think eh? Haha!

So anyway, what a great Saturday to self-console and rebuild my self-esteem! Ha! OK, just kidding… (: So, I made these!

 Chocolate Chunk Walnut Cookies

Usually, I tend to stick to the same proportions and ingredients once I think I’ve found the best one. (Haha.. I guess I’m the kind who dislikes unnecessary change. Unadventurous? Maybe!) Anyhow, now I try not to use Hershey’s Choco Chips; especially when I’m feeling generous, my mum finds it tastes better to roughly chop up some dark chocolate that you’d like. It was accidental actually - previously, I ran out of chips so I just crumbled in some leftover Lindt chocolate bar I got from MG friends and she liked it! For this, I used Lindt’s 70% Cocoa (thin).

Coffee Muffins with Raisins

 

Mm.. I had no suitable muffin cups, so I cut some baking paper. It looks quite pro though! Haha! (: Maybe I’ll just continue doing this!

Oh, and this morning, my mum and I ate orange muffins from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Both of us are totally not fans of ‘cake-like’ muffins. So, they failed our tastebuds, sadly… :/ Taste wise, I felt the orange was lacking, otherwise, it’ll make a pretty decent raisin cupcake! (:

That aside, almost everybody (ok, exaggerating, a bit hah!) is at Hillsong conference!! While I agonise over my CTs.. Haha! But been hearing good things, though they seem to be really tired! Can’t wait to the day I get there! (: He’ll will make me a way!

Cheers everyone! emoticon Haha…

Chunked Banana Muffins!
 
Ahh.. yes, finally, I got what I wanted!  
This was my first attempt at using the mini muffin tin.. And boy, the tin is really a good investment.. For some reason, the muffins turned out perfectest ever! Finally, I think I’ve found the perfect ingredients and proportions (to my liking) for any muffin, after many many many many.. and many.. trial and errors since I embarked on my ‘muffin project’! Haha! These are ultra light, moist, fluffy, yet bread-like! Unlike the usual tender kinds which are more like a cake rather than a quick bread which is what a muffin is essentially! (: Yay.. Oh you see those chunks in there? I just wanted to add something to the plain batter, and use up my bananas of course! This shall put an end to my muffin project which was inspired after eating the blueberry and carrot muffins with my Mom at Cedele by Bakery Depot, which was what, in my opinion, defines The Muffin. Alas!
 
Back to the Books!

Now is the time where I’m preparing for the next worship service which Band Devoted is leading! (10 June) It has been a qhile since the last time! (: The June Hols have begun, but I haven’t yet started preparing for common tests, much less the A levels (partly because I have been sick). I’ve this constant worry that I’d start to late, yet it doesn’t bother me to start now.. :/ This is not good; any kind friends out there, it’d be nice if you could just kinda knock me in the head to get going. Soon. Now.

Actually, that couldn’t happen, I’ll be away at Wesley Family Camp from tomorrow to Tuesday at KL how fun! haha! But not with my family.. Oh well, this will be my good break before I really start mugging..  Anyway, carrot muffins made quite some time back!
