That annoying cat...
Beberapa hari terakhir ini hari-hariku diliputi oleh deadline, kurang tidur, kelelahan fisik dan mental, dan sangat sangat butuh konsentrasi tinggi (thanks to architecture competition and freelance projects).
Dan beberapa hari ini pula rumah kami dikunjungi oleh kucing yang saaaangat menyebalkaaann
kerjanya ngeong2 ga jelas, dan suaranya itu lhooo..cempreng banget kaya anak kecil teriak2 (tapi kan ini bukan anak kecil? you know what I mean)dengan frekuensi yang cukup sering.
Verrryy annoying!
Biasanya sih ku cukup menyuruhnya diam dengan ber ssssttt sttt sendiri dari dalam kamar (ga tau deh sbenernya pegaruh ato ga, tapi lumayan melepas stress).
Sampai suatu pagi..ngeeonggg ga terkontrol, berisiiikk...I can't think!Dengan stress yang tinggi dan emosi yang meluap langsung deh aku keluar sambil bawa sapu lidi siap membasmi sang kucing (saking emosinya sampe lupa pake jilbab).
Langsung suami nyusul dan dengan jiwa heroik (ato ga mau istrinya keluyuran tanpa jilbab) menggantikanku mengusir sang kucing.
Laporan dari suami: itu kucing lagi kawin.
Ohhh pleasseee....

It's about balance
Huff..what a week.
I've just submit the panels for a competition this morning and slept at 3 am last night.
Sleep late for weeks, skip cooking and let alone baking, got cranky because of fatigue, and never blog.
This is not what I want.
On January I have all the time I need, I chat with my mom, massage her when she got tired, learn to bake everyday if possible, watch good movies on cable, and woke up earlier than my husband (well, maybe only for a few weeks). But I got restless because I don't have any project, or not productive as I may say it. I got bored, and scared that I don't maximize my potential.
And on February I just grabbed any project opportunity, I ended up with 3 project which have almost the same deadlines and here I am.
Exhausted.Disappointed. and I have a feeling I disappointed people around me as well.
It's all about balance.
I have to know how many project I can take without having to sacrifice my family and my leisure time.
I still have a lot to learn.

Bread Pudding
This is the basic bread pudding.
The first time I made one is with banana and using coconut milk, but this one is using milk :9
The basic ingredients are:
Milk
bread
sugar
1 egg
extra ingredients, chocolate chips, cheese (I used cheese for this one), almonds, etc.
There's no measure for the ingredients so I just estimate the amount :P
It's very easy and yummy :9
Just tear up the bread, mix milk+beaten egg+sugar and pour to the bread. Make sure it's fully covered and add the extra ingredients. You can bake or steam the pudding.
Try it! :D

American Pancake
I woke up craving for McD's pancake I used to had for breakfast back in Sg (too bad we don't have that here :( with the maple syrup..melted butter... drool..
I've tried to make pancake before but somehow it's too flat and not as soft.
So I browse 'American Pancake' instead, hoping it'll make a difference.
The batter is thicker than I usually have, and the end result looked similar with the one in McD :D
This is how it looked like.
I don't have maple syrup so I use honey instead.
It tasted great! But still not as soft as McD :(
Need to practice more I guess :D

What I've been doing lately...
Is doing architecture stuff.
I know I suppose to do more things in life since I'm not working anymore but somehow I end up chose architecture, I guess I don't want to totally neglect all the skills and experience I have when working abroad.
I and I have to admit I enjoy doing it
:-)
PS. Oh yeah, and the fact that the pay is great didn't hurt either :p

It's been a while since my last post..
I know! I know!
It's been weeks actually, I even haven't post my baking activity..(err...only 2 I guess)
I'm such a warm warm chicken shit (umm..I really can't find any other term for this).
I always get exited with certain things and exited with the idea in the beginning only, and then, get kinda bored, or distracted.
Like once I had this idea to create online shopping,get very exited, browse to some stuff, study abut he possibility and all. and look where that idea go?
And blogging is something I always wanted to do, to record my life, my dreams and goals, I posted very often in the beginning (even 2 post in 5 minutes -_-;;)
but then I get distracted, with projects, competitions, and glee (watching Glee that is, not joining one ;p)
Okay, I'll try to post AT LEAST once a week, and then we'll see from there :)
