Apple crumble.

The unproductive life is really getting onto me and so I made a list of things to do. Hopefully I will bring myself to do them and not brood about being lifeless for the rest of the holidays. You can always find something to do right?

After spending the whole of this morning feeling useless and also watching cooking shows on Food Network Asia, I decided I had enough. No more lounging on the sofa staring at the TV. It's time to do something more productive. So I opened my laptop, Googled for some recipes and ended up with this:

Jamie Oliver's apple crumble.

I have never tasted apple crumble before but I saw that I had all the ingredients needed for the recipe and thought: Why not?

I didn't wanted to use all the apples, just in case the recipe fails and I ended up wasting ingredients, which will make me feel even more depressed and guilty. So I tweaked the recipe a bit and into the oven it goes!

(The one on the left looks flat... Because there is no apple underneath all the crumbles. I made too much crumbles...)





Turned out pretty good even though I didn't brown the crumble as needed by the recipe but it's still warm and crispy and a little bit of chewy to compliment the mushy apples. It was a tad too sweet and the next time I make it I'll reduce the sugar.

Yum yum.

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location

Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =) Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high. But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case. You know, altered. Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Ki
