#29: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

School has just reopened, but I had an enjoyable weekend in Genting with my dear girlfriends and my love. Genting Highlands used to be a place that I frequent when I was much younger, but I have yet to go there for around 10 years I guess.

There's really alot of changes, but still it was a pleasant trip with lots of excitement and laughter! Can't wait for my next trip with them!

So after coming back from the trip and busy with all the add/drop modules for school, I'm down to baking again! In my menu today, its oatmeal raisin cookies!

I guess oatmeal raisins or oatmeal chocolate chip or oatmeal cranberries aren't really a favourite for many. People will rather go for the common chocolate chip or butter cookies. Despite that, I would say its a healthy choice and yet it tastes awesome, almost as good as chocolate chip really!

So here we go!

#28: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today's Cookie Monster Day! I made his favourite chocolate chip cookies! Its a common chocolate chip cookies recipe just that I overloaded them with chocolate chips! I love to have tons of chocolate chips in my mouth with every bite!

One of my friends wanted me to make them for Valentine's so I'm trying a couple of recipe to design a good menu for him! I will probably make the totally awesome double chocolate chip cookies soon! Its a recipe that I have adapted from Nigella and made some twist to it to suit to my preference! Its a never go wrong recipe and as the name suggests "TOTALLY AWESOME!"

Have a lovely Cookie Monster Day!

Chocolate Chip Cookies! A favourite of Cookie Monster! :D 

#27: Stepping in 2013

YES I AM BACK.

I know I have disappeared from the entire year, due to many many many reasons.

On a personal note, these are major happenings in 2012:

1. I have finally decided to pursue my dreams after completing my degree in NTU. I will be heading to Le Cordon Bleu London in this coming fall for a year! Hooray!

2. Three years into my relationships, and we have decided to take a photoshoot to commemorate the occasion.

3. My brother entered army (Finally!) and he's an officer to be now!

4. I finally have a dog! My new baby, named Grizzler, a pure-breed Border Collie! He's a cutie!

4. My only living grandfather passed away in May, it was a huge blow for all of us, but we have all moved on but he will forever be loved and remembered in my heart.

Then, in terms of baking, it was yet another fulfilling year! I baked so many new things, started Heartbakers with Fiona, Cheesiong and Sawarto and completed crazy orders of pineapple tarts, logcakes and macaroons. One important thing is that Fiona and I won a competition that is organized by Nebo! Its my first competition but a good win!

And, we have to bid farewell to 2012 and welcome a fresh start in 2013! Of course, I do have resolutions for this coming year.

1. Complete my business degree successfully

2. Good health and positive relationships with people all around

3. Excel in my further studies in Le Cordon Bleu London

I think its my last opportunity to upload some pictures of what happened in 2012, so here we go!

Pineapple Tarts (That we are making this year again!) I just cooked 200 pineapples three days ago!! 

Chelsea Football Club Singapore January babies' birthday cake! This is one of the hardest or most time-consuming cakes that I have ever made!

This is one of our competition's dish! There's a cup of coffee, oatmeal cookies and chocolate mousse!

Thats all for the year of 2012! I promise not to be disappear anymore!
