Watermelon Vanila Cookies

Saw this recipe in a cookbook n decided to give it a try.



Chinese is called 西瓜瓦尼拉小饼. Look interesting, right?

I prepared everything within 1 hour n this is how it looks like before I put it in oven.



Will update again after baking...

My 1st batch is out after 20mins...



My new hobby - baking!

I have been busy baking n cooking these days. Thinking if I should upload all the recipes n pics on blog to share.
Realized that happiness can be found when I bake or cook.
很多人觉得烹饪或是烘饼干,蛋糕是件麻烦的事。对啊, 没有错!又要prepare有要wash up. 真麻烦!
不过当家人吃到你prepare的食物,而且吃的开心。那不是一件很开心也很满足的事吗?

人生瓶颈吗?

写blog是为了发泄吗? 我不知道, 不过对我而言 ,我可以把我的心思写出来。

我觉得做人越老越烦,越烦就越累。

工作不顺 ,孩子不听话, 老公不体谅。我就是觉得做什么都不顺,做什么都是错的。

到现在我们还是处在financial crisis当中,也不知道我们的经济会何时会go towards the positive direction. It seems that no one dares to say that this year will be the turning point. Not even the economists dare to make this commitment.

每个公司都采取retrenchment, pay cut, shut down days, and even extending shutting down their offices in other locations other than the main. No job security, no prospect, nothing to look forward to at work now.

能做的就是安分守己,做好份内的事, 每个月就等月底, 拿了薪水,交every billings that never seems to disappear from the stupid letter box. And then we are back to the cycle again, work and get paid... work and get paid. Damn it!

When is this stupid crisis going to end? 2010 or 2011? I think if this continues, we are not going to be able to buy bling bling, but we are going to have a bleak future. Sucks right?

I am just fed up with life in general! Need to vent my anger somewhere before I really blow up.

Life is Short!!!

I got an email from my friend. I think we have to learn to appreciate what we have now.

珍惜現在擁有的!每个人都不会知道明天会发生什么事情。 所以要好好得享受现在,爱护身边得每个人。

Beautiful Lesson!!!!



The girl in the picture is
Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21. Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.

The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US.


Katie has termi nal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.

In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of quimo to end.




In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.



An unusual accessory at the party
was the oxygen tube that ketie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.

The other couple in the pictur e are Nick's parents. Excited to see her son marrying his high school sweetheart.




Katie,
in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube, listening a song from her husband and friends



At the reception, katie had to take a few rests.The pain do not let her to be standing up for long periods



Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a women so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.

"Life is short.
Break the rules
,
forgive quickly

kiss passionately, love truly

laugh constantly

And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is

Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful."
