Pudding, Pancakes and Bread

If you don't see me update for a week, you guys pandai-pandai know i'm in deadline :D.

The deadline ALMOST over *because i has another article suppose to go to this issue, but my boss said this issue a little pack so want me to hold it.* But never trust what news editor told you, they just change their mind in a second. So i might get the call suddenly and want me to rush up the article.

The past week i got home late almost everyday, but by Thursday i got back earlier (i consider 8 something is early) and feel wanted to play with Cookie, just because i feel guilty to ignore 2 of them.

So after shower and dinner, i sat down beside Cookie and trying to play "throw and pick" with Cookie but he was way too lazy and not bothering me, i keep on kacau like some monster children and finally Cookie got so frastrated and BIT on my middle finger!

Bleed and swollen!

Then he walked away like nothing had happened, good one.

I told this to my friend and colleague, all of them give me one feedback: "hahahahaha you deserve it!"

I told Keith i got rabies so i'm dying. Keith said, he not sure if i got rabies from Cookie, but Cookie definately got the madness from me.

And i told Angga: The biscuit bit me!!!

He ignore the bitten thingy and started critic my sentence, he said that is illogic of "the biscuit bit me!". So i slowly walk away, Angga just doesn't love me :'(.

Good friends, good colleague.

Well ok, then Saturday, i got no assignment, no appointment, no article to rush. So i off my alarm and want to sleep all i want.

text message from Sun:
6.48am: Hey, want go to eat dim sum?

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! I should just silent my phone!!!

Sun said she on facebook and saw i respone on my status by 5 something, so she thought i was rushing my deadline.

Then i replied, that is yesterday 5 something in the EVENING!

But since i woke up, i just teman her for the dim sum breakfast she curved for like a year.

The table of foods

I don't have appetite, so my duty was order for her, chat with her, and encourge her to finished all the dim sum on the table.

Then i told her that Pudding's fur getting long and i ask the price of grooming, she said her manager was away and she can do it FREE for me! (p/s: Sun is the pet shop's team leader, and she is about the get the grooming exam).

Then i drag Steven together, just to take care Pudding when i was driving, and... TAKE PHOTO for his first groom!!!!

The don't-know-what-horrible-thingy-gonna-happen Pudding


So he started shaking when i put him on the grooming table

I just cant help to hug him tight although got scolded by Sun because he looked so pity!

Then Sun halau me away

The Pudding fur. *ok Angga i know you will shout: this is illogic! again*

Shower! Pudding you looked like ET :D

So pity >,<

And look like begger now

See the video ;D

So after that i rushed back home, i have date with Zoe and Jenn, and i planned to bake some sweet bread for them since Zoe responed in my last baking blog (refer to this October blog, title: Baking.) that she wanted to try my baking.

I decided to give my sisterhood a surprise and bake some to impress them :D.

I was in rushed because i have too little time for baking, but luckily it so success and cute! But i have no time to taking the photo down. Pack it in a lunch box and headed to Paddington house of Pancakes in The Curve.

Rach in very tired mood.

Genting Half Working Trip

Very quick update before i fall sick.

Went to a working trip in Genting Highland last Friday, The 6th Golden Bull Award held in Genting Convention Centre. My mother company is the organizer, i'm the staff under this event company so i have to shift my identity to other position when this kind of big event happened.

I'm not in the mood to blog in detail, but i did uploaded a lot of photo about this event, just take a look.

This is not the ball room, this is only our briefing and dinner hall

The dinner for us


People coming in

The show started

And finally i got the chance to sat down. Oh my LEG :'(

After work, the dress code for the award night. Black gaun for ladies

My boss gave us the offer of another night stayed in First World Hotel, a room with 2 double bed room is too big for me, so i asked Elaine and Eva for a weekend runaway from Kuala Lumpur, both of them happy on this offer because its FREE!

Elaine and Eva only came by Saturday noon, so after breakfast and a short meeting with colleague, i brought my Greeny to Starbucks for the free internet access, but i only managed to update my facebook status and i cant do anything much because of the connection was so slow!

Starbucks Genting

I decided went back my room and wait the arrival of Elaine and Eva, luckily i brough some book along. After few chapters reading and finally Eva and Elaine had reached here.

Eva and Elaine on their way

Their baggages for one night stay!

Yes i admited some crazy idea came out when i invited them to come and join me in Genting, which is "hey girls, instead of junk food, lets have a cup noodles festival!"

I don't take it serious, but Eva did, so she went to shopped some special cup noodles without telling me!

3 of us with the noodles!

The horrible hell lots noodle

After the photo photo and photo, i begged them to go out have a walk, we planned to have some movie but nothing nice on, bowling or pool weren't our interest, theme park in outdoor and indoor were so pack, so we decided to go back to our room after one or two hours hanging around.

Elaine has some cartoon in her pendrive, i played the cartoon and Eva fall asleep after 5 minute, Elaine followed after half an hour, and i managed to finish the cartoon. Drag them to go out for night walk, they weren't pleased of course, but i told them maybe we can meet some of my leng zai colleague out there, then they woke up and put on make up. LOL

Goin to casino

Yea finally we went into casino and tried the luck, i lose at the first but later win back my model, then i leave! Phiw~! Agree with Babby Bear's theory "You don't gamble equal to you win."

Back to the room, and photo taking again! but i just way too lazy to upload all, choose only some to upload here :P

Eva and I

She was putting her make up, and i was kacau-ing

Our leg with our jean :P

Sunday morning, after breakfast and check-out from the hotel, on the way back to KL we pass by a very big Chinese temple, we decided to stopped and invite the temple for a while.

The temple

The Eva and I

Last but not least, the groupie photo.

Heart you 2 girlfriends, for giving me some fun time in the working weekend :P

Rach in not happy mood after the conversation mood.

Baking :D

Weekend again, and i was alone again.

So hmm, except kill my time by cleaning my room, i found the recipe of dessert in my book shelf..

I have 2 whole wall of books, this is one of the wall only :D
(My life ambition is to make my home like a library!)

Just to show its not easy to find a particular book in the wall of books, i accidently found the long lost recipe, so i decided to bake something for this lovely weekend.

I don't like cake much, i prefer cookie or pudding (that's the reason why i named my doggie as Cookie and Pudding!), but i feel like to bake something else, so i decided to go for some bread.

Sweet bread is the most basic bread baking, simple ingredients but this is not easy to bake it well. I baked this few times before, only success 2 or 3 times, its either too sticky or too hard, has to be very careful with the warm water pouring inside the dough. This is the key to make successful bread dough.

Get ready to BAKE!

The ingredients

Just mix all the ingredients well, fold and punch the dough few times to knead the dough. But this is not easy, because after warm water pouring in , the dough became very very sticky, you can hardly mix it well, just have to be very patient stir by hands.

after knead the dough looks smooth, cover with plastic wrap for 20-25 minute fo risen up to oubled in size

The done dough


The sticky dough on the hand

Ghosty me :D

Taken by Mummy Chew

To check if the dough is well risen, look at the dough inside, if it look slike net inside means it well done.

slike net inside

Slice the dough into few cubes, set aside for risen again for a while, place them on the tray and set 35-38 c in the oven and put a tray of hot water below it for 20 minutes to rise AGAIN!

Take it out ad brush egg mixture on them, and bake for another 15 minute with 180c.

Was so nervous to see if the bread baked success or not, Mummy Chew keeps on saying it must fail because the sliced cubes too large of our home oven, but....

tata~!

Yea its look ugly..

But at least success!

soft and tender!

The bread might look ugly but its definately yummy!!! soft and tender and it smell so nice, i love the smell of baking in home, make so warmy :P.

Although Mummy Chew isn't show her impressive face at all la, she just saying if good if add more sugar. Well, she managed to finish 2 of the breads, i assume she likes the bread.

Mummy Chew

Jeff and Yenny went out, Babby Chew is in the work, will let them try my baking and post their comment up here soon :P.

Oh yea! Cookie and Pudding love my bread too! they want more after i feed the some, haha lovely!

I just wonder, if my home has a bigger oven, i can bake more and something complicated. The one i have at home just for simple cookie or muffin or bread, so....

I swear i want a professional oven in my own house! LOL
