Maximillian & Us

Bought a few baking tools today in anticipation to try the Rachel Allen recipes!

Everyone know I’m not into cooking (what an understatement! LoL). However I recently discover I’m quite keen on baking. I’ve always made muffins and fairy cakes. Then AA introduced me to Rachel Allen. Apparently she’s quite famous in UK. She frequently appears on Saturday Kitchen on BBC One @ 1030. No wonder I never seen her, I’m still sleeping when her show is on… hehehehe. But I finally saw her show last Saturday and fell in love!

Dav commented that I like baking because I have a sweet tooth.. how true !! It makes perfect sense! I love cakes, ice-creams and I’m die hard fan of cupcakes!!

Anyway while browsing books at Waterstones yesterday, we found her baking book. I had to have it and thus I bought it. Am gonna try to make cheese cake this week before I fly off.

Cat, as promised, this is how the book look like. Only one night and already I have 8 tabs on recipes I want to try!

Will keep everyone updated on the success/ failure of my baking activities.

Today I went jalan-jalan with AA in town to buy a new toy. I’ve been eying on this toy for a while now (since 2007) but wasnt ready to depart with a big sum of money. It was not a necessity… but it’s a cool gadget! So finally today I bought it!

Let me introduce you to the Bose QuietComfort® 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones. This is the ultimate headphone to get if you want to experience noise reduction AND audio performance at the same time. Imagine sitting in the plane, listening to your music clearly without the plane engine noise in the background!!

Dav’s review of the headphones: “It’s freaking incredible!”

I got a free 1GB Ipod shuffle as well from Bose but it was the old generation shuffle. Most likely will sell it off as I’ve already got the same one. Also bought some working shirts and one recipe book (not in picture). To be more precise it’s a baking book – Rachel Allen Bake.

Getting excited testing the headphones.

A satisfied customer.

Today I met up with some friends in Richmond for lunch and a walk in the Richmond Park. The weather was unpredictable (an understatement really!). First it was windy, then the sun came out of hiding, then it rained, then the sun was out, then best of all, it hailed!! The walk lasted for 2 hours where we saw the London skyline AND the deers…. the day ended with a big lunch at GBK (just love the Garlic Mayo Burger!!).

View of the Thames River from Richmond Hill.

Love the clouds… I’ve always like taking pictures of clouds.

That’s the London skyline. Can you spot the London Eye?

Always excited to see the deers in the park.

Resting before we can continue our way back to town.

One of KJ’s group member was in town on holiday. We meet up for dinner and had coffee after. It was good to catch up. But he’s already living tmrw, so we didn’t get to do much. Hope to see more KJ members in LONDON!!

Actually come to think about it, another KJ member will be visiting us next month! hehehehehe

Me & MK in Starbucks after dinner.

Note: KJ stands for Kelana Jaya. It’s the name of the place Dav n his close friends grew up and when to school.
