C-H-E-E-S-E cake

A goluptious  cheese cake with chopped apricot and strawberries.That's really toothsome!

I was the co-baker. But the air pockets in the cake doesn't seem to stay, maybe it's just the heavy layer of tangy cream cheese. There's still half of it in my fridge though.

Mom, it's only 4 oclock in the morning!

It was only 4 in the morning when my dad knocked my door. "Wake up! it's 4. 10 now." The silence of that morning was suddenly disturbed my that morning call, and my alarm call. It's the end of another year, when my house maid requests to return home for Christmas. I jolted out of bed, and straight to the bathroom. I soon grabbed my camera and started on the journey to the "Low Cost Carriage Terminal" My father dislikes going there for a few reasons, one: it looks quite like "pudu raya- Malaysia's busiest bus terminal" two, its really along way from home, a journey nigh onto one hour.

When we got home, we hit the sack right yo about 10 or 11, A really nice energy boosting nap.

My Grandmother Part 1

The warm stagnated air filled the house on that Saturday, the mobile phone beeped, and as far as I know, my grandmother who is suffering from dementia has to stay over our place for a night. Understanding her current condition, she feels disoriented whenever she goes from someplace to another. She would definitely cause many nerve-racking troubles, and the verdict is: YOUR DAMN DAY IS RUINED. She isn't the cool grandmother which you an hang out with anymore. Having her with you feels like a burden. She has became terribly dependent, that's not a very huge matter. The thing is that she literally does not know what she is doing, and sometimes might think back to the early 70s, when my grandpa was still alive. From sane to insane, she might bathe 6 or 7 times a day, or even hoard whatever she thinks is hers but isn't, and even hide your car key somewhere and deny being guilty. And expecting her to have good memory at this stage, that's likely impossible. At this moment she asks you something, seconds later, she pesters you again. This affair goes on and on until you disappear from her sight, it goes on like a record which repeats the last bit of the last song over and over again until you stop the machine.

If only time could rotate anticlockwise to the past. My grandma was a very brave person, not afraid of any threats nor rats. She was active in the stock markets, good in cooking, and nourishing nine children with great sense of responsibility. She never uttered a single complaint taking care of that many kids. She had six daughters and three sons. All of them were different in every way. Some were hot-tempered, some were irresponsible, some were nice, and some washed their bloody hands too clean that they gave all sort of reasons for not looking after my demented grandmother.

BIG Bad Wolf Book Sale

The hunched wolf of books. Hee hee hee... (howls)....

One Saturday after an Indian lunch at Section 19, my mother and I went to Amcorp Mall to check on this book sale. My dad was busy with other matters, as well as his weekly errands. Indeed, the books were cheap, and most of the books were not old yellow paged books like in some book sale. Even though we had to queue up upon entering, and the queue was really long, it was still worth while going there. There were many good interesting books sold there, and most of them cost about 8 bucks a book. And if compared to the original price, that's 80% discount!  After selecting a box full of books,  the bill came to only a hundred over dollars.  

The box of books now in an slanted Indian file

At least I could indulge myself in them during the holidays.

TIGER Woods is reportedly throwing money at the women in his life in a desperate bid to keep his public image intact.

The billionaire golfer has reportedly paid $US5 million ($A5.4 million) to his wife Elin Nordegren to keep her from walking out and another six figure-sum to one of his alleged mistresses to keep her from spilling details of their six-month affair.

Woods is in damage control after a car accident outside his Florida mansion last Saturday exposed his string of extra-marital affairs dating back to at least April, 2007.

Rachel Uchitel, the New York nightclub hostess who stayed at Woods' hotel during the Australian Masters, spoke to Woods just hours before she was expected to lift the lid on their relationship.

Celebrity website TMZ reported that they had been in direct contact by phone before she decided to cancel a press conference during which her lawyer planned to discuss her "relationship" with the champion golfer.

The pair have been romantically linked, although Uchitel denies having an affair. Her lawyer, Gloria Allred, would not confirm reports Woods had bought her silence for $US1 million.

Woods has been linked to three women, all nightclub workers or guests, and has admitted to "transgressions".

His liaisons reportedly sparked a fight at 2.30am on the morning after Thanksgiving, which led to him crashing his car outside the Woods family mansion in Florida.

It has emerged Woods' and Nordegren's parents were at the home that night. Neighbour Kimberly Harris told police Woods' mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg and mother Kultida and were at the crash scene.

"The cops came . . . the Windermere cops came first (and) then the security guards came," Ms Harris said.

"And then it appears Mr Woods' mum and Tiger's wife's mum came out after the fact.

"I don't know if they heard the commotion, I don't (know) if she, his wife, left and came back.

"But they walked across the grass and were outside as well."

Reports in the US suggest the Woods' prenup is being renegotiated to deliver his wife of five years Elin a bigger cut if they divorce.

Website The Daily Beast quoted a lawyer close to the negotiations as saying Elin had been offered $US5 million to stay. She would get $US55 million if they split - more than double the $US20 million of the original prenup.

Yesterday, one of Woods' secret lovers tried to distance herself from the scandal.

Baking Powder? Buttermilk? What?

Slluurrrpppp.

Every time i look at this cream puff picture, I feel like drooling.

But when I ate a few from Breadstory, I started feeling unwell.

So I told my mom: Mom, we should make our own next week.

And today, I did some baking too.

My mother and I made some low fat banana carrot cupcakes and it turned out to be lip-smacking. And here's a picture of it, straight from the oven.

That's tea for today.

Look, I've got a new hairdo!! Muffins nowadays even have mohawk hairstyles.

Earth is in this Situation.

Well, well, I do think that Earth is really going to be that hot in a few decades. Come on people, turn off that damn oven, stop all that pollution and try reducing the amount of non-recyclable plastics, and off course, not switching on your computer for just a day reduces your carbon footprint too.

Remember, the Earth's situation is dependent on you.

Best of Luck in reducing your carbon footprint,
