It's been a pretty slow past few days so to start off the new month, here are some photos I said that I would take of the banana loaf I baked last weekend snapped by my oh-so-trusty camera-phone.
My first and successful attempt at baking anything bread loaf! I felt really happy and chuffed with myself because it came out really well and not filled with holes and didn't explode in the oven. The last things I baked were some weird looking and shaped cookie things which didn't turn out too well because it was too sweet.
My mom even suggested baking another loaf this weekend to be shared with my grandmother and my little cousin's family. The only peeve she noted was that there not enough mashed bananas in them and it was not sweet enough. Well, I did substitute white castor sugar with brown sugar but I thought the sweet level was alright. I was thinking of making banana cake and banana chocolate chip muffins. 
A close-up of the chocolate chip portion of the banana cake. Since my mom and dad don't like it too sweet, and my brothers have officially abstained from anything made by my own two hands, I had to quickly embellish some chocolate chips into the batter as I spooned them into the loaf tin to be put into the oven. And it tasted so good! Yum! My next culinary experiments will be freshly kneaded and baked bread followed by cheesecakes and pies.
Law assignment is going well and not going so well at the same time. I'm more than half way finished with the first write-up. Just got to start editting it soon and tie up a few loose ends. The writing the stuff down and rewording some phrases here and there is going fine but the finding of cases for examples is tough. And don't get me started on management because I have yet to start on it even.
Went on a random shopping trip to Mid Valley with mom today. Lots of people mingling around vacantly on their day off. Me included. I think I was being greedy again because I managed to squirm my way around to getting two pairs of shoes from Vincci. Hah! One was a simple sandles because my old ones are really, well, old and dirty. I couldn't find that pair of wedges I was eyeing at 1U because my shoe size was unavailable but I consoled myself with a pair of black mary janes or 'ballet' shoes with short heels, however you want to call them. I have to admit and say that I do like them but my problem with them is that I don't know how and what to wear them with. I don't want to end up looking like a fashion disaster wearing some aunty-looking shoes. Not to say that they're aunty-looking but I don't want to appear frumpy and all slipping into them when I go out. It's all suede and so comfortable. I'm becoming such a shoe-whore. Oh, and sort of accidentally bought a TopShop halter top which I was not looking for nor intending to buy at all. It was their fault because it was half off and fitted so well. Stop making me feel guilty! The temptation not to buy was wasted on me. I didn't even bother to stop myself and say, "No, that's enough!".
It's my que to log off now. House is coming up soon. Yay for unrepresented cranky doctors around the world! It's a reason for them to not feel so bad when they get a little agitated in the morning without their coffee. They'll always know that they're not alone. The next time I see a cranky and addict doctor, I'll try to be more patient and not irritate them too much any more than they already are.
