    My Leisure Baking starts at 3pm on 26th Mar. This takes me around half an hour to do the creaming method and 20 minutes for the baking to take place. This plain Victoria Cake can add on flavouring such as Jam or Kaya spread, etc.

Tiredness seems to be a modern plague. Should we all be getting more sleep? Or are the causes more complex than that? Pooped, shattered, knackered, buggered. Being fatigued is an everyday experience that for most of us is the trigger to put on your PJs and get a good night's sleep. But what about when you just can't seem to get going in the morning? When you run out of puff half way through the day? When you're zonked all the time? Worse still, tiredness seems to be on the rise. If you're feeling fatigued, it's important to establish the most basic of issues: Are you getting enough sleep? While everyone is able to function on less sleep than they prefer, if you are consistently under-sleeping, ongoing tiredness will be the result. Some people, however, want to sleep, but simply can't. A bit of vigorous exercise earlier in the evening and a warm shower before bed also help send you to the land of nod. The slight fall in body temperature that follows these "warming" activities can trick the body into feeling sleepier. And don't discard the old wives' tale of a glass of hot milk before bed. Milk contains the amino acid, tryptophan which has been shown to help induce sleepiness. ||2:45 PM||

  Alan's Comments: The cookies are absolutely fantastic! Never tasted so good home-cooked food and it was really a mouth-watering experience. I decided to bring it to office to makan and dun let my colleagues eat. Brenda's Comments: These are baked for my hubby. I tasted it myself too. Dun be deceived by the appearance of the biscuits. It tastes better than it looks. I believe my hubby will say "delicious" biscuits. ||11:07 PM||

       My parent in law sit together for a photoshot. We have our dinner on 25th March 2007 in Xin Le Restaurant at Yuan Ching Road. It's a fabulous dinner, you can see from the photos of food. I am too busy eating and forget to catch some of the shots. Mayb too many greedy ppls around, grab the food faster than I can capture shots. Haha! The two angbaos are given by my mum in law to me and alan. Alan holds on to the angbaos as I quickly get a camera shot of them. ||10:55 PM||

My journal begins... One more day to my performance bonus. I am feeling extremely happy. Finally, here comes some money for me to go shopping at least to make myself less stress. My friend, Kath, finally contacts me. It's not because she does not want to listen to my phone call or what. I am being too sensitive when I am too moody. Haha! She told me that her hp is sent for repair. Now she is thinking of buying a new hp. She is very funny too. Hear that I am so angry. She kept saying apologies to me and kept offering to treat me to meal someday. But I din accept her free meal and tell her that I am not angry at all. Sometimes, I feel that once I have friend to chat with, I do not find a single reason to blame her. Instead I will forgive and forg et. That's me! Today is the most super-duper tiring day. This is because yesterday I have to attend course after teaching till 6pm. Then today have to conduct Red house practice for my pupils in leading cheers. Today I have thought them 12 cheers in total. That is super-duper of me, with all the yelling and shouting! Now I realise how difficult it is to lead ard 80 ppls in saying the cheers. Of cos, I have gotten them to make 2 pom-poms for each individual. And make sure everyone gets one whistle. (as a way to blow 9x to support their housemates who are competitors.) Last but not least, I am calling myself super-duper. The reason is that I can sleep 4 hours a day, keep complaining I am tired but I still sleep at 12 to 1am plus. Then I drink chicken essence to keep me awake, suffering from slight headache, still sitting in front of PC and starting typing my blog now. Haha! Now waiting for my 10pm to 11.40pm show to start. That's y I am not going to sleep. Watching TV is so addictive. Don't you feel so? Let's me close my journal now... ||9:24 PM||

I have gained 18 achievements for my Viva Pinata after I have played during my March Holiday. School is starting soon. Looking at the new duty roster, then I realised I am on duty on the Monday when I report back to school. Very sianz feeling. Cos so fast on duty le. Now I am so bored. My hubby goes to his army friend's wedding dinner. And I am here on msn online hoping to find someone to chat with. But there is none. I find this March holiday a tiring one too. Cos other than playing games, I have to work, work and work at home lor. What to do? Have to set exam paper which includes doing the marking key and TOS, do lesson plan and previous week reflection, do reflection for VP, and then my EPMS and also to mark some of my pupils' work. Last but not least, have to read up the news that my P wants us to discuss as a focus group when back in school. A lot of admin and redundant stuffs to be done, but no choice. Even now I want to find my friend, Kath for shopping and chit chatting. Also, find her whole week, call her thru hp or home number, no one answers. Very saddening! How I hope now there will be a fairy that appears and grant my wishes! My wishes are very simple (Either one of them) : 1) Want someone to talk to over MSN 2) Want someone to go out with me for window shopping. (I will nt request much) 3) Want someone to talk to over the phone

    Long time never update all of u abt my recent appearance. I din put on any makeup nor I am dressed to be going out shopping. I am prefer to rot at home. So I shall pose a few shots before I meet up with my friends yesterday. Ready to go out in my casual attire, I just take my favourite soft toy "doggy" to accompany me for the shots. Of course, I take some comical shots of my hubby too. If you want to know about my negative thoughts..Scroll down to have a look... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Brenda says: I think I have put on weight but then my weight drop slightly after that "tragic thingy" that happens to me. So don't say I put on weight wor. I din really want it de. I am trying to lose my weight now. Haha! Yesterday my friends finally came to my hse to talk to me. They played X-box with me as we chit chat. I talked to them and told them I am a failure in whatever thingy I do. I have not regained my confidence at all. They gave me advice and consoled me. I am really happy and feel so much better. However, I cannot bluff myself. This "tragic thingy" will haunt me for the rest of half a year. I told them that I hated ppls who kip asking me about it. I want silence so I dun wish to mit up with any of my friends at all. I blame myself for the cause of everything. If I din tell them, they wud not be asking me. So naive of me!

Finally, my March one week holiday is here. I must make full use of this week to clear my work pile. Haha! My NIE friend will be coming over to my hse on Tuesday to chit-chat and play games with me. That's marvellous to have such a nice company of friends no matter you are sad or happy! This week, I planned to start thinking about the question to set for SA1 P2 Math paper. Hopefully, I have some clues to start off. Then I must edit my EPMS and make sure it can be submitted to my RO once school starts. And then I need to do the Epistle and Reflection to email to my VP. Not forgetting my weekly lesson plan. Phew! I must relax myself too. So I will give myself a break from work by playing VIVA PINATA. That is an addictive game to me. I think my childish behaviour still canot be changed. Still think and act like a child. I do not know when I will grow up. No matter what thinking I have, I will still be a 27 years old adult. Hmpph! At this time, I have not completed any stuffs yet. I am just browsing through my hubby's friends wedding photos, checking my emails, doing fund transfer for my friend's acct (for my friend bdae) and oso transfer to my dad and mum acct. You must have known I have my salary le.

"Something" hits me recently. And I have a complete new perspective in my life. I know what I want now. I learnt to be more mature and will not escape from reality anymore. I will not sob nor be depressed. As my msn nick mentioned 'Always look ahead towards your future, never regret or ever look back'. I also learnt a lot from some of my friends too. I believe in the near future, I can be a better self mentally and have a much healthier lifestyle. Similarly, this also applies to my new year resolution which is to keep myself fit and healthy for a longer run ahead. I never doubt myself anymore. I can brave through this "heavy impact" psychologically and mentally. There will be more to come. Brenda, don't ever give up. You have better dreams and goals ahead.
