I started keeping a diary/journal from around...late last year. I thought it would help me appreciate what God has done in my life...! As well as being able to pen down thoughts which would have stayed a bit too long in my head.

Blogging is...difficult.

This year 09 - one of my top priorities should be to organise my time better. That way, it should be easier to get things that need to be done NOW. Done NOW. lol

Too easily is my reputation as being the 'late one' cemented into the thoughts + opinions of people around me! Not a good look. Especially on resume. And I don't think it would be wise to point that out as a weakness in work interviews..!

This year, everyone in the double degree cohort is working hard. Hard working, dedicated and time-efficient. I don't often compare myself with others, which I did alot of in the past. One way I've matured over the years in uni is to only think of improving myself and looking at my own standards. That's the way I sort of look at fashion and style too. I don't approve of the idea of people who dress for others. I guess that can go for other things too. Like what people say and do.

In some ways, setting my standard to my own...is sort of like Sin. Sin is looking at oneself as the top leader, king of their own life. Living life their own way. God doesn't even exist - not even as the minute atom of their world.

As a Christian, its a big struggle trying to live with God as the epicentre of all you do, think and say - reason + logic. Lately, because of study...its been alot of me in the centre and God pushed somewhere on the brink of the universe that is my life.

Hm. That's why I like to bake...to take my mind off things. I can just focus on what's at hand. I'm still very very grateful of the blessings that God has given me. I really want to draw close to God, so that he will draw close to me.

Apple Crumble is the dessert I made tonight. I LOVE apple crumble. One of the best fruits God has created married with lovely crumbly pastry top...very healthy (the apple part) - its high in fibre and Vit C. Good for these winter months...I KNOW even if there isn't any evidence for the link between Vit C intake and the decreased incident of colds...still! You need it to prevent scurvy ARRGH! ;)

I'll upload piccies later on. I do have much to blog on about. Food Food Food. Love Food. I do aspire to transform this blog to a **foodblog**!! :P

Found an awesome and express chocolate mousse, since the one I made before didn't turn out 100%. Its by sultry + smoldering Nigella Lawson! I can't wait to try it. Less risk of Listeria poisoning with using raw eggs...hehe.

Uses the gelatine found in the marshmellows to help hold the shape and texture, is what I believe...! Yum!
