i successfully baked pineapple butter cake last night, for dad..and he likes it =)


to be honest, i have never bake a good butter cake..they'll be either too hard, too dry or too much baking soda, etc etc (but, dad will finish up any butter cake i bake, good or bad, hehe..) and last night, i modified the recipe that i found. i would like to name it Pineapple Cheese Butter Cake..and this is the recipe..


250 g butter
125 g cream cheese
3 large eggs
150 g sugar (the cake will be just nice, not too sweet)
200 g flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 can drained pineapple
1 cup of pineapple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla essence


1. cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy.
2. add eggs and vanilla one at a time (i put in the vanilla together with the eggs).
3. beat for about 5 mins.
4. put in syrup and mix well.
5. fold in the flour, slowly and mix well until smooth. (add some flour to the pineapple so that they will not sink down..i forgot to add flour in to mine, and all the pineapple sank at the bottom of the cake)
6. transfer batter into appropriate size of baking tin.
7. bake for 55- 60 mins in 175 C or until skewer inserted into the cake, comes out clean (mine took an hour and 15 mins).

the cake smells nice and taste good too. =)

many things had happened these few days, but i havent got the time to update.
a friend of mine is here from Johor, and we tried lots of new things (food and places) but i didnt snap enough pictures. *sigh*
we went to pulau manukan, and we got burnt..it was painful but we enjoyed ourselves. we went to Sulaman, where i think, is the best place to watch sunrise and sunset, but we didnt get to see any of the two because the sun was up high glaring and smiling at us when we were there. fuh~ i love the nature =)
we tried lots of new food..bigfish (whoa~ really big! but i didnt have any picture of it), etc etc..
and now i regretted for not making full use of my camera...

p/s: i want to wish Sarah, a very happy sweet 17 birthday =)

without i realizing it, six weeks had passed by, and we're already almost at the end of Lenten season.
for the past 6 weeks, i've been refraining myself from meat.. and i believe it is not only for the sake of not having meat in my meals, but also on how i managed not to let myself fall into temptations of food.. how i managed to control my anger, though there are times when i am not able to do so, but i always remind myself of my weaknesses and i believe that God will give me peace and strength to overcome them..
but, did i sin in the past 6 weeks? yes.. in fact, every day and every minute..have i prepared myself for the Holy Week that i am already in? to be honest, i am not really ready for it..and i have the feeling that i am Judas.
patience is what i ask for and holiness is what i need..i want to be sincere in my relationship with Him..for every grace and blessings that i received, i thank Him with grateful heart.
