The Muffins In The Making
i bet everyone has already heard the best new of 2009! (:
BABY JORDAN HAS BEEN BIRTHED INTO THIS WORLD!
by a wonderful mother into the arms of a wonderful family.
congratulations kenneth and serena! (:
anyway, i've made a "promise" to keep sending in greetings from Australia (: and today, in light of the previous suggestion of Tips and Stuffs, i'm posting a video on how to make muffins (:
i believe alot of you already know how to make muffins and maybe even make better muffins than i do. but hey, it's the first time i'm making muffins ever in my life, so if you tink you can make better muffins, please share your recipes and methods! (: i would definitely want to learn tips from you (:
so yeah,
The Muffins In The Making.
please note a few things though, i missed them out while doing the video.
1. Before putting the muffins in for baking, do let the choco chips settle into the muffin or maybe even seem to "sink" in a little (: if not the chips will be all stuck on top. x)
2. If raisins are a substitue, make sure that the raisins are DRY. paper dry if you need. and flour the raisins as well, but instead of sprinkling it on top of the muffin like the choco chips, put it in the mix when you pour it into the mould.
3. and yeah, you dun really need the recipe cuz you cant see it!!! :D
yupp, on a whole, sorry the video iz so not professional. haha x)
hope to hear from you guys more often! ailin says every sunday there's gonna be a sporting event! (: updates bout it alright! (:

The Concert
When the house lights dimmed and the concert
was about to begin, the mother returned to
her seat and discovered that the child was missing
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights
focused on the impressive Steinway on stage.
In horror, the mother saw her littleboy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out
"Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star."
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and
whispered in the boy's ear,
"Don't quit.""Keep playing."
Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached
down with his left hand and began filling
in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached
around to the other side of the child,
and he added a running obbligato.
Together, the old master and the young novice
transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.
The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played.
Only the classic,
" Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
Perhaps that's the way it is with God.
What we can accomplish onour own is hardly noteworthy.
We try our best, but the results aren't always
graceful flowing music. However, with the
hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful.The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the
Master, whispering in your ear,
"Don't quit."
"Keep playing."

Good'ay mate!
GREETINGS FROM AUSTRALIA! (:
Wondering how's everyone doing back in Singapore! seems like many things have actually been happening in the short but long 3weeks that i've not been around!
well, just to list a few..
1. peijing and chenguo got attached to each other (duh:p)
2. eunice got attached as well
3. rebekah, alicia, brandon and raymond got water baptised!
4. william, thomas, sebas and weisheng will be going for SOT this year!
waha, what else can i say,
one word to sum it all..
CONGRATULATIONS! (:
finding a partner in life, being born again (again), going for SOT.. reminds me of the 3major decisions that we have to make in life! x) marriage, salvation and your choice of church. but more importantly, all these mark the beginning of another phase in your life (: a brand new chapter that you can look forward to, expecting changes and challenges to come your way. like a transition, tough it may seem, but exciting on the other hand. well, all the best to all you back at home! (: have fun and keep seeking excellence whatever you do! (:
so yep, it's been 3weeks in australia. I'll try to paint a pretty picture of it for you (esp if you haven been here before!)
balloons do make people happy :p
if you ask me what do i miss from home? well i wouldnt say food. x) to my surprise, asian food an be found at almost EVERY corner. there's dim sum, dumplings, chicken rice, hot pot, curry, laksa. food-wise? it's pretty much diversified over here. yum.sorry, dun have a picture of the diversity, but my roomie cooks good food (:
and to the people around, half expecting alot of "ang moh"s walking around the streets, you actually see alot of asians as well! anyone out there who knows how to speak Cantonese?? x) well, if you dunno any other language except Cantonese, you'll very much still survive here. well at least for the buying of groceries and all x)i've been talking around with some people in my university, and it was shocking to know that to the extend that you dun really hear much about Deakin Uni, turns out that we're second behind Monash and in front of RMIT? well i didnt check my facts with regards to what was being told to me, but anyway, the school of exercise (: i particularly like the spiral stairs :p
so yeah, i dun have much to inform you guys about aussie as yet! havent exactly been around touring much! but one last one, this iz in the city (: my friend brought me to the park near her house, and this was it. it's definitely a good place to play with fallen leaves during autumn :p
i guess this iz it?hope to hear from you guys more through this blog! x) updates, building fund testimonies, anything! :D which i want to thank God as well cuz i managed to fulfil my faith pledge for 6months in 4months! (: so yeah! if you havent fulfilled yours yet, dun give up! (: you've still got a month or two more. yupp, that's all for now! (:
