Feeling Alone?

Hey guys,

Wow! Double posts in one day... Haha, so I was talking to my sister just now and we were just talking about how we feel so alone and an outcast at times. Have you ever felt that? That feeling when you feel that your friends don't really want you to be with them or when you feel you have no-one in the world to talk to.

I do feel those feelings at times but I'm grateful that I have my sister and some of my best friends to talk to when-ever I go down that sudden depression road. But sometimes, we just have to set some positive energy to ourselves. We have to let ourself know that we're not perfect and we're not alone in life. We're just only human.

Friends come and go, but when you do meet that special friend in your life, you'll know that even if you guys don't talk for quite some time, you both can easily meet and can talk for hours and hours, even days without realising it! That special friend knows who you are, what's crazy about you and sure there'll be some bad traits there, but that special friend will accept and love you for who you are.

I found my special friends, and I know some people are still in the journey in finding that special someone. I believe God has created a destiny for us and wants us to do some trial and errors in our life, before showing us the true blessings he had prepared for us. However, even if you haven't found that special friend yet, whenever you feel sad or when life feels unfair, think about the blessings you already have. Your family, the shelter and food you can afford, the education you have a chance to have, to be able to live... There are people out there, who are less fortunate but still holds a smile in their face, who still live life like there's no tomorrow. They can be happy, why can't you?

My thoughts from this post is that Life is beautiful, we just have to open our eyes and our hearts to realise it. We are never alone, we always have someone who will love and care about us, be it family or friends, and even God. So, if you ever feel alone and sad, be strong and think about the happy things that have occurred in  your life.

I'm not saying I'm right but those are my thoughts... Feel free to share your thoughts... :)

That's all for today!

Tiramisu Recipe

Hey guys!




Yayyy to being Tiramisu lovers! I started to love baking at the start of this year, baking really does relieve my stress and makes me happy and this was the first dessert I made (which does not require any baking at all!). 

It's simple, easy and yummy! The first comment I got from this Tiramisu was "OMG! It tastes like heaven!", you just have to love that comment. Now, the recipe is not my own. I got it from my aunt who is an AWESOME cook, I swear her food is AMAZING but I think this recipe was obtained from another source? 

Anyways, I believe sharing is caring and so; Here is the recipe I used to make my tiramisu:

TIRAMISU

Ingredients:
500g Mascarpone
125g Icing sugar
3 egg yolks, beaten
3 egg whites
125 ml strong black coffee and Tia Maria/ Baileys
2 plain sponge cakes (or you could use ladyfingers/ sponge fingers)
Cocoa powder

Method:
1) Combine the mascarpone and sugar; then stir in the egg yolks.
2) In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until a soft peak stage (WARNING: This is tiring if you are doing this step manually).
3) Fold in the mascarpone mixture into the egg white mixture.
4) Now, put one layer of the sponge cake into a glass bowl, and sprinkle the Tia maria and coffee over the sponge cake layer.
5) Then, spread the mascarpone mixture over the sponge layer.
6) Repeat Step (4) and (5) with the second sponge layer on top of the first one.
7) Refrigerate overnight.
8) You can sprinkle some cocoa powder over the top of your tiramisu to give it that extra pop!

This is my first time putting up a recipe online. So if you have any questions or you're not sure of any steps, do comment below and I'll get back to you soon!

That's all for now!

I'm Back... =)

Hi all!

I decided to come back to blogging and hopefully I'll be blogging more frequently than how I use to...

I want to take this opportunity to show you the food I cook, the photos I take and the adventures I go through with life. So I re-live this blog by creating a new look and HOPEFULLY I'll be more up-to-date than how I was before....

So that's all for now!

See you soon!
