Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day.

Yesterday..whole day..
all of us busy baking cookies and pie..
We made Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie And Sugar Cookies..
I made Gingerbread Man but its too bready
so threw them away..:(

My sisters baked the Sugar cookies together
and used the christmas tree mould.
then we decorated them with choco chips, sprinkles and M&M's.
I mashed the steamed pumpkin and made the
custard filling..DELICIOUS!

Baked them while decorating the apple pie
with flowers and leaves using leftover
pastry.
the Pies and the Cookies looked Gorgeous!!

Then We get ready for the candlenight service.
This year's service wasn't as lively as last year's.
I wore a colourful dress with a mini sweater/scarf.
After the service, my dad bought Ramly Burger
For Miss Sugar and Benjol for himself.
He even bought some satay.

Next Day..aka Today..
woke up 8am sharp..
went to toilet and came dwn..NO PRESENTS!!!!!!!
T.T..disappointed.. then teri mama came dwn
and said ' REALLY NO PRESENTS??'
i said 'Mayb they hide them somewhere'
(my parents said this year we will get money..i hope
they r nt serious)
Till this second i haven't receive any gifts..:(

then mum prepared the Turkey while i helped
chop the vege for the gravy..
This year she cooked Turkey ala Jamie and MUM style~
the gravy was YUM YUM YUM!!!
can't wait to eat turkey pot pie!!
while the turkey is baking.
my parents went to exercise..

I stay at home smelling the baking turkey in the oven~
MMMMMMmm.... then around 10.30am
i started to make the sweet rolls/dinner rolls
for our Christmas Feast.
Knead..knead...rise..
shape..shaped..rise..

the turkey smelt DIVINE!!
then i preheat the oven for my rolls..
i watched my dad carve the turkey..
while my dog wag his tail waiting for the
turkey to drop! Popped the rolls and baked for 15mins.

hand and said 'Congratulations! Straight A's!'
I was in shock and was relieved at the same time.
u guys would be expecting me to scream or something
but guess what.. the first word came out frm my mouth was
'U R JOKING..' I realised that it ain't a joke and stood up.

Miss Sugar hugged me and my mum hugged me for 4 times
and started crying. my dad was busy making a video. ( i thought
he was taking pictures.)
My dad was a lil teary  and hugged and congratulated me..
(WOW! GOD IS GREAT)

I felt so proud..Dod really helped me.
U have no idea how many times i prayed at night.

Yam Bun!!

On Monday..while mum doing some facial..
Miss sugar and i hange out at leisure mall and
oh ya.. my new shoes were killing me!!
that's right!! BLISTERS!!ergh!!
then as usual went to bookstore to look at
books.

look through a few bread books..
then i dunno whether to choose a book
with a slightly pricey or cheaper want..
but i knew the more expensive one
has a good method..so.. WHAT THE HELL..
i just grab that book at pay it..ain't cheap almost rm30

i know u'll be thinking ( wth??!! cheap what)
but i said that cuz i owned a bread bible which is
the same price but way..WAY thicker..
I bought Alex Goh's Magic Bread.
there r many books priced at rm10 to 20
but this guy rite here is almost rm30~(local somemore!! haiz)

BUT it's worth. the bread r delicious and soft..
I think part of it is becuz i knead the dough kao kao
( ok..mayb not till could be stretched to a thin membrane
but it was my best knead ever!!) i even made my
own homemade yam filling!!there's half yam in the fridge
and boil them and add some milk and sugar.. VOILA!!

My parents said that i could add a lil more sugar
and more filling ( i try nt to over fill the bun cuz in my previous
post .. my dad said i put way too much filling)-.-
The bun were GOOD..but sadly i had to say goodbye yesterday
cuz the yam gt sticky ang spoil!!
I should have place my babies in the fridge!!

Learned my lesson..NEXT TIME IF I MADE
NON-PRESERVATIVE aka HOMEMADE
PASTE OR FILLING, REFRIDGERATE IT!!

move to go to different malls cuz we can't decide where
to go. We went to Bangsar on Nov 28
and it was drizzling on that day..

We walked around to search some
place to eat. then my parents went
in a noodle restaurant called
Canoodling. there's different type of cuisine
thai, chinese and so on..

I ate a heavy breakfast so i decided to eat a
soft crab salad.
