Apple Pie

Another eventful week has passed! thank God i survived the week as Ms Yeo's secretary. there's so much to give thanks for and i think i'll start with today. today started off quite badly.. i guess it's always hard coming to terms with things i need improving in. but as the day went by, it got so much better. :) and dinner was absolutely awesome! great food, great company. nothing else compares to that! :))



just so that this blog post remains "in theme", here's an ugly picture of the awesome (self declared) apple pie i made. :DD

Muffin

Finally finished another book this summer.

The Seventeen Second Miracle by Jason F. Wright. it's a beautiful book! it's one of those books that make you smile from your heart. i think everyone should read a feel-good book every once in a while. so if u feel like the world's crashing down on you, your future is bleak, and all you feel is sadness, quickly go grab a copy!



The past week has been very eventful. I remember how hurt and sad it made me feel, but i also remember the lessons that God is teaching me. I may be able to think of a hundred reasons to dislike him, but i need only one reason to love him. because Jesus does. Sometimes i wish i could be tougher, i wish i could be less sensitive, more resistant to others' words. but that's why God is bringing me through this process. so that i can come out stronger.

today i woke up in a foul mood but even then, my family continues to show me love. i'm one lucky girl. hoho. so my awesomely cute dad went to buy 4 boxes of blueberries (supposedly better quality ones) coz he wanted to have blueberry pie for dessert! haha i wanted to try making apple pie instead but my dad's a fan of blueberries. hoho. it's now baking in the oven and i think it might be slightly prettier.


so i'm posting a picture of muffins i made last week, i think i'll be using this recipe for muffins in future coz my dad loves it! :)

this one's with raisins coz my mum loves raisins.




the recipe's adapted from the same awesome site, joyofbaking


so now, i'm gonna start on my third jodi picoult book of this summer. :)

My First Blueberry Pie

I made my first pie today!!!

I wanted to bake a blueberry pie on Sunday so i bought 4 boxes of blueberries (at 3 bucks each, :( ) and i was too busy on sunday to bake.

so i came home after a long day at work, went for a quick jog, came home and baked a blueberry pie.




i'm quite ashamed of how my pie looks but i'm absolutely proud of how awesome it tastes! whoever came up with this recipe rocks coz my dad loves the pie so much he can't stop eating it! like, literally. he's so cute! and within the first 30 minutes, half the pie is gone! hee hee.


 an ugly picture after i cut the first slice:




yay. i feel happy that my first attempt turned out... tasty but ugly. haha. (:

Berry Buttermilk Muffins

I went on a little shopping trip today, after an insane buffet lunch. What an enjoyable day! (: so glad i met nice people here and there. it's always nice to meet polite shopkeepers. makes me feel happy purchasing their products even if it's slightly more expensive than the others. :)

Buffet today was fun because i really enjoyed the company. it was nice to chillax, enjoy the food, and chat over a nice long lunch. :) i love the idea of buffets and allowing myself to indulge. hoho. but 34bucks for kuishinbo was quite overpriced. i wouldn't go back anytime soon.

So i came home today and realised my buttermilk was about to expire! it's 5 bucks per carton so i decided, i had to use it! so i baked some berry buttermilk muffins which smell DELICIOUS in the oven! haha even my mum commented that the kitchen smells like a bakery. which made me really happy. :)





i lovee buttermilk! it makes everything awesome. :)

i had a great day today. :) thank God.

Have some thoughts in my mind, but I keep reminding myself of God's promises.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
