This time I tried adding some cocoa powder to replace some of the flour in the recipe. And in order not to let my cookies become too hard like the previous times, I did a little adjustments to the ingredients. Instead of 1 egg, I added 2 eggs. And I decrease the amount of flour used by a little. When baking the cookies, I also shifted the baking trays to a lower case in the oven and also slightly reduced the time used for baking. From the 15mins stated in the recipe to only 12mins. And I'm happy to say that my cookies this time turned out to be softer than the previous times. But then, because I used 2 eggs, the batter tend to be slightly softer than before. Thus making it abit difficult to shape the cookies on to the baking try for baking as the soft batter will kind of stick to the spoon. Maybe next time I'll use a squeezer (I'm not sure if that's what you called it?) then maybe my cookies will have a nicer and more even appearance. =) I also decreased the amount of white and brown sugar so that it will not be too sweet =) So tada! There you have it, my very own chocolate cookies!!!
this is how the batter looks like...
the cookies...!

Oh my Tuesday.... how lovely art thou...
I'm currently listening to 蔡旻佑 Evan Yo's new album. I realise that I'm really very slow, just realised that he had a new album today! I liked his 1st album, still remember that it was about the time when i was watching 小猪's 转角遇到爱. Then he had a few of his songs as the OST of the drama as well. Once watched one of the episodes of 娱乐百分百, where Evan was the guest. And guess what, after that episode I decided that I can only admire his talent in music. Haha. That is because the old-fashioned me is kind of put off by the fact that he is not a 处男. Wahaha.. oi oi.. don't think pervertedly ok.. Its just a casual remark ok...
I just went for my first lesson of tuition with my newest student just now in the evening. And I was told that he only scored 9/100 for his maths in the just over prelim exams. Do i feel up to the challenge to help him pass? I don't know.. I think i can only try my best to revise and do lots of sums with him in the next 5 lessons we are going to have together before the PSLE. Indeed I do feel worried for him, but I can't really do much when its time for him to go sit for the PSLE. If its possible, I'll want to help him sit for his paper!
Tomorrow's tuesday again. My free day. I'm still pondering about how I'm going to spend my day tomorrow. Whether to stay at home and bake cookies or to go watch a movie alone, but the later seems too emo, so maybe not. Or maybe I'll go Temple bai bai then after that go walk walk around in bugis area? But then, I don't really like shopping alone. Although i keep telling myself that lots of people does that, but still to me, it seems so weird. Anyway I think the first option will have the highest tendency of happening. Hahaha.

Bad Weather ~~ =(
Giant Bunny : "Weehee~~~!"
Its Sunday evening and it marks an end to my hectic tuition week! Why do I say that? Because this week was examination week for my students, so besides all the stress on their performance, I also try to squeeze out extra free time to give them last minute lessons before their papers. I even have to give up my long time determination to have my Tuesdays free, just for that. So from now onwards I'll still be keeping my Tuesdays free. I always believe that it is important to have one day of free day, where you have all the time to yourself. Haha... Since I have tuition on every single day of the week, even weekends are all packed. So a rest day on Tuesday is a must for me!!! Wahaha...
Got home from tuition just now at about 6plus. The rain was horrible and i don't know why but i got into a bad mood because of that. But after a hot bath when i got home, I'm feeling happy again!
I took in another new P6 student, first lesson starting this coming Monday. Since its like about only a month left for PSLE, and so we have like about 6 lessons, I think all i can do is try my best to revise with the student what he have learnt for the past 6 years. Of course i can't possibly perform miracles and let the kid pass with flying colours in just 6 lessons when he has been like doing very badly all along. But I'll try my best to help I guess.
I saw it and knew i have to bring it home... wahaha=)
I went round shopping abit before tuition this afternoon.. and as i was walking around.. i saw Mini Bunny!!! I knew i have to get it!! Wahaha... another new member to my bunny family!!!!! Then just now.. my bro murphy.. cracked a joke about.. Giant Bunny being 1GB and the rest being 256MB and 512MB... i think it was really funny!!! So there above is the photo to introduce to you all the members in my Bunny family now!!!!!! =)

I baked cookies again... haha
Today's tuesday again.. so its my free day!! haha.. i believed those of you who have been reading my blog will be getting sick of me saying that I love Tuesdays.. haha.. but still.. i must emphasize again... I LOVE TUESDAYS....
Alright... didn't plan to go out today... coz no one to ask out also.. haha.. so afternoon i went to the supermarket to topup some things that i need for my baking session later.. haha.. like the brown sugar and self raising flour.. then i went to buy lunch home as well... After lunch.. i started baking my cookies... this time i didn't try anything fancy.. just wanted to bake the original cookies.. i tried to make the appearance more presentable.. and also reduced the amount of sugar as i got feedback saying that my previous batch of cookies were too sweet... =) But then.. my mum said that the cookies were a little too hard... hmm... maybe i'll not put so much flour the next time... hee...
The cookies that are still baking....
The outcome... =)
I was thinking of selling the cookies that i baked... anyone interested? I haven thought of the price and stuff yet.. but then the cookies are available for testing first!! Haha.. anyone or if you know anyone that will be interested.. do inform me...=)
Mummy encountered some unhappy incidents at work.. so she decided to resign... her eyes were a little swollen just now when she was home... i was thinking what i can do to make her feel better... =(

070808 Kbox session!!! Till 2am plus...
Met up with Ghislaine, Jolleen, Sin Wee, Ying Hui and Wei Har for dinner on Thursday night after tuition at Bugis...=) We ate at a Japanese Cafe.. the food was not bad.. and i love the dessert... haha... after that we shopped round till abt 10pm.. and we decided to go for a kbox session.. haha... but the one near bugis was full house.. and after a round about trip.. we settled for the kbox outlet at suntec...by the time we reached there.. it was already 11pm plus... I think its the first time i stayed out so late.. haha... and was surprised that no one called to ask me why i'm still not home so late.. haha but then again.. i did inform home that i'll be home late... haha.. Wei Har wasn't feeling well so she left first... then Ghislaine and Sin Wee left at around 1am coz Sin Wee still has work the next day... the ones remaining were Me, Jolleen and Ying Hui... we kept saying that we will leave soon.. but then.. Jolleen wanted to see her 仔仔 before leaving.. and the we realised that we din sing any 林宥嘉's song.. and then after all that we finally left the place at about 2am... haha... shared a cab home and at about 3am.. i was home...=)
I really enjoyed myself that day.. and hoped that we will be able to meet up like that again!!! Its really not easy for everyone to be able to find time to meet up.. so it makes the session even more enjoyable!!!
A group photo we took outside Bugis before deciding to go for kbox... taken with the help of a kind passerby... haha
