Cookiesss !! i made them.. not bad for a first timer who has never made cookies b4.
butter ones.. they dont look that good cos i dont have those cookie molds.
i just picked the simplest cookie recipe from the web adn then i tried it.
smells good i guess. i used unrefined sugar ( healthier :P )
feels weird.. cos when i baked them after 20 mins.. i took a fork and poked them they were still soft .. so i panicked.. i've never done cookies which were soft b4.. anyways, since that's the case i took them out. put them to cool . then i tasted them b4 i put the rest in. hmmm seems good also.. cos it hardens after cooling.. woot woot.. :P
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us1 slab of butter 250g + some sugar.. no weighing scale and some essence of vanilla plus self raising flour.. ( leftovers , i needed to clear them out. :P and some pastry flour have to finish it mah)
mix mix mix.. then it seemed a little weird or wet i mean so i put more flour lor.. but then it came out alright.
total cost : i think butter was 53p, sugar 1/4 of £1, flour was 1/5 of 28p, essence was dunno la..
then grand total i think about £1.
very little la then time taken was about 1 1/2 hours to bake about 73 pieces of misshapen cookies. :P that means i don't have to buy cookies anymore.. i can make all the cookies i want !!! wooo hoooo
now i wanna try those delicious jam tarts my uncle + aunt makes during chinese new year.. though i think he makes them all year round.

oh yeah, dinner was curry + long ( short ) beans + carrots + eggs and rice. of course and some cookies !! muahahhahaa

[Edit]
woot.. i finally found a place which gives FREE AIR !! :P BP station after camden town on the way down to warren street.
and secondly i have a new tool for recipes. currently it has about 4k recipes.. but stills need some work. searches by ingredients or recipename.
try it here. i've named it COOKLE :P

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
