Secret Recipe Trans Fat-Free Peach Cream Cake

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Secret Recipe Trans Fat-Free Peach Cream Cake

Trans Fat-Free Peach Cream Cake is a refreshing light dessert style cake with peach pieces and apricot filling through layers of sugar-free sponges.

Hehehe… Bought this cake few nights ago. Cost us RM84, the cake weighed 2kg+, it’s actually quite worth it if you compare buying from the usual bakery, summore Secret Recipe’s cake isn’t that sweet and it’s quite moist. This cake is under the health cakes category that’s why it’s a bit more expensive but still worth it compare to those cakes you get at the bakery.

It’s quite surprising that my dad actually suggested to buy cake from Secret Recipe. I bought Mango Delight home on my first visit and he didn’t give any positive nor negative comments. Then my cousin bought Chocolate Indulgence for us during CNY this year, suprisingly my dad said that it’s nice! He didn’t like chocolate cakes but for this he said that it’s delicious and it’s not sweet. WOW! That’s why this time he decided to buy one whole cake from Secret Recipe as a belated birthday cake for my sis. *LOL*

The outer coat cream is very sweet I dont’ like it but the inside is sour, pair with the sugar-less sponges, it’s quite nice. The outer coat cream is sandy because of the apricot sugar that made up of the cream I guess. My mom likes it, my dad says that it’s ok, not very sweet but prefer Chocolate Indulgance hahaha… Something from someone that doesn’t like chocolate cake hahaha… SURPRISE! I didn’t expect Secret Recipe can actually be a place that my dad consider to buy cakes from. It’s rare OK?!?! Since he usually prefers something old fashion for food.

Since the cake is BIG! Cutting with knife would mess the whole cake up. So I had this stupid idea of cutting the cake with thread(the rough type) or using the fishing line(LOL… What do you call it? The string people use to fish :P). Hahaha… My family actually game for the idea and my sis and I tried it out:

Since the inside is soft, it’s possible and it’s not messy, cream intact. No messy knife too.


Cut it into 4 parts, tried to take one quarter out but found out the bottom didn’t get cut so we used the knife provided to finish the cut hence the messiness inside the layers, it would be better using fishing line as it’s tougher and more solid(I think…). Good thing is that it’s not that messy like previously when we cut the CNY cake hahaha… That time we had to cut it using the biggest knife in our kitchen!! Hahaha…

You can try this way to cut cake next time using thread/fishing line hehehe…

Been eating this cake for 2 days already 😛 Was my breakfast and was last night’s dessert *LOL* Just one thing I don’t understand, since it’s health cake, why the cream is so sweet!??! Hahaha…

Metal Stealing Spree & Bush Fire

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on Metal Stealing Spree & Bush Fire

I’m going to report some news here hahaha… Pretty anti-climax one though… Anyway, it all happened within this 24 hours.

At 12am+, I heard some kling klang sound, I sensed something amiss, I immediately went to look out of the window and *CUSS* People stealling the drain covers!! DAMN IT! Saw them laughed and joked and even sang while carrying the covers to the nearby shop and took their sweet time chit chatting with their friends sitting nearby before carried the metals back to their nest, the house opposite the shop.

Wanted to call police to catch them red handedly but didn’t think it will be in time, the thieves would be gone by the time the police arrived. Sigh… Could only witness and couldn’t do anything.

Last Thursday, the drain cover next door was stolen, not in the middle of the night! It’s still very early like around 9 something. We didn’t know it until my dad got back from dinner. I HATE THESE PEOPLE! THEY SUCKS!


Left: Here… 4 missing covers at the roundabout at Pending Road that I took in the morning.

Right: After the first round of stealing, they did it again and stole another drain cover somewhere near my place too! They stole it and even laughed while carrying it. They really enjoy this “job”! This time my dad got so angry, he called up the police. As usual, the thieves would put it down and chit chat first before brought it back to their nest before the police came.

The four sitting there chit chatting, then there were 2 more but not there when I took this pic while waiting for the police to come. There were 6 but only four did the job, the two in black just watched.

GUESS WHAT!?!?! The police came and drove passed them -.-” My father called the police immediately to inform them they drove passed already. While still talking to them, the police finally reached the place after one big round.


They questioned them, one police officer called my dad saying that they didn’t see any stolen metal there -.-” OF COURSE LA! They already brought back to their nest. We roughly know where their nest were but the police had no right to raid the place as they need a warrant for it and it must be the exact place else it will cause a boo boo. My dad was told that they couldn’t do anything about it since there’s no evident there. If they got the evident, they would surely catch them but the police would take down the details of the thieves for record. Then another team of police came to see whether their colleague needed assistance or not. They took down the details of the four and asked them to go back. Sigh…

I don’t mean to blame the police for this, it’s all about luck and timing. They did come immediately but there is no evident to take action as the metal were took back to the thieves’ nest while my dad made the call to the police to report about it. There is no way also to raid their house.

My dad knows the house owner, it’s rented to those thieves. My dad had told the house owner about it and asked the owner to pretend to go there for some official matters but I’m not sure the owner did go to investigate or not. This is because if it’s confirmed the metals are there, the owner and us can go make a report and get the police to raid the place because my brother said that he saw many metals there everytime he got back from school. However, what we are afraid of is that, they might have sold everything already first thing this morning after the police “interviewed” them during that wee hour which was about almost 1am.

Guess what!??!?! I also got a news that the cars of the car workshop next door got its cars bonnets stolen also! All happend at the same time. Those suckers actually went on a stealing spree at this wee hour!! SUCKS! How to catch them like that?!?!? No evident really can’t do anything 🙁

One more thing, the dogs were barking these few days and during the stealing spree but we didn’t see anything all these while until last night. However we didn’t expect the cars parked behind our shop got their bonnets stolen even though we heard dogs barking at the back also because we were too focus at the front. Those dogs are smart, they know who is bad and who is good but they didn’t attack them. How I wish those dogs can speak as they are the prime witnesses.

Next up, bush fire near Puspakom at Pending Height. Saw the fire at around almost 9pm. I called the bomba immediately. The phone rang, one very tired officer picked it up and I gave him all the details. After that, I tried to take photos from the kitchen but didn’t manage to get good shoots, couldn’t see much. Thought would be something big, that would be something exclusvie!! I immediately asked my dad to drive me over so that I could take pictures *LOL*


This is what I managed to get -.-” It’s not that big after all. It was pretty big at first but when we reached there, the flame wasn’t that big anymore and saw a guy trying to put out fire using buckets and buckets of water. I wonder where he got the water hahaha… He’s the owner of the car workshop nearby, he had to put out the fire else it might burn his workshop. He’s the only one putting out the fire.

The bomba didn’t come -.-” It’s only less than 10 minutes drive and we didn’t hear the bomba coming. I’m sure I’m not the only one called them. Goodness gracious! That poor guy had to put off the fire himself, no one helped, everyone just watched. I didn’t help too as I couldn’t do anything also but I called the bomba as soon as I got to know the fire.

CLARIFICATION 16th July 2008: Red blue light is from the Bomba. It’s not from the police. I’m sorry about that. I just had a meet with the bomba people just now and they had explained to me about it. They’re using the small fire engine, an Isuzu. Just that there’s no siren on. YES! The bomba came but the fire was already small or almost gone. It’s just timing problem, no one to blame. I really thank them for coming to make the clarification.

We went home and still no sign of bomba. Then my sis and mom saw a vehicle with red blue light arrived there, it’s the police! Not the bomba! That time the fire was quite small already. The guy managed to control it. At the end, still no bomba in sight. WOW! Amazing! Don’t think this is good. If not for that guy, I’m sure it would be worst!

The video of the fire…

Goosh… 26 years of my life, this is the 3rd time I called bomba -.-” Everytime by the time they arrived, fire got so small already except this time they didn’t come at all.

Childbirth

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on Childbirth

A very late update… LOL… Shock seeing the title? HAHAHA… Well… It’s inspired by today’s chit chat during our break time. 😛 We were talking about some other stuff and it somehow reached this topic, oh well… What to do? We were all girls, there’s not even a single male student in our class.

Before we go further, just something to update about my camera, out of sudden the camera was fixed accidentally by my bro by zooming in and out few times yesterday. Sometimes the photos still ran out of focus but at least the lens could retract. Thought that it’s fine already but today I tried to play around with it, the same problem again. I tried the trick my bro used but this time, no effect. ARG!!! Should I buy a new one or bring it to be fixed first? NO! No DSLR for the time being, I’m not that desperate, I will get a DSLR eventually but NO MATTER WHAT a compact camera is still a must for me. Don’t worry about my fund spend on the compact digi cam, hahaha… I have extra to spare just that I still don’t want to spend that money yet hahaha…

Ok… Back to our topic. Since we are all girls and we hung out at the student lounge, we had some junk food and talked just about anything under the sun and I have totally no idea how they talked until childbirth *LOL* Besides that, there were 3 mothers in our group and the rest of us were childless. These are the quotes, in random order, I think it’s quite funny 😛 If you guys are wondering what would girls talk about childbirth, these are usually what you will hear:

“AIYEEE… Next time I opt for cesarean.”

“My friend told me her experience, they inserted their hand to check her when she’s in labour, when I heard about it, I almost fainted. Whole hand inserted down there… She said very painful!”

“NO! Natural is the best!”

“Natural heals faster.”

“No biggies one, natural is easy, just push!”

“You push push half heartedly sure cannot come out, sure more painful, you must push with all your might. No problem with me, all my 4 deliveries very smooth.”

“EEE… Imagine that big thing coming out from down there, the pain!! Later loose summore”

“Won’t loose one. It will close up and back to normal. Don’t tell me your husband ask you to open up your legs and check the measurement hahaha…” *Everyone laughed so hard*

“You know my time, my baby overdued, they had to induce me, and they checked my dilation for three times and still 1cm only. I couldn’t stand the pain when they inserted their hand in and I told them to cut me up. I saw the whole ceaserean process from the reflection from the lighting up there.”

“Listen to my advise, if you can, go natural.”

“After the cesarean, once the painkiller wore off, goodness… painful! Doctor said if I could walk around sooner, I would be able to be discharged sooner, I quickly walked around the hospital the next day because I wanted to go home a.s.a.p hahaha… Even pain I also didn’t care, I just want to go home!”

“If the baby too big, they will cut down there… EEE… Scary.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just small cut, you won’t feel it. It will heal faster than cesarean, just very small snip, not cut up the whole thing! Hahaha…”

So there you go 😛 It’s quite funny hahaha… Might have more to share but we stopped when somebody said that the time was up because it’s time to go to back class.
