sweet green cookies. literally.

it has been raining/drizzling since i woke up
and that was some time around 12+ in the afternoon
my alarm was set to 9am & 9.30am
i realise these days i just keep snoozing my alarm
which means i only get out of bed 1 to 2 hrs after my alarm goes off
argh!
what a waste of time
occassionally that's fine
but to do it so often is not good
sometimes i feel i've wasted half the day already
and it feels so cold now
dun feel like stepping out of the flat

still got emails to send
gotta check out any work attachment postings (although i wonder if i'm even gonna apply...or if i could....since so many of them requires 'own transport to sites')
would it be better for me to complete my work attachment back in singapore?
but too rush leh.....argh...i dunno.....
if only i diddn't need to worry so much about transport/getting to places so much over here!
also gotta do a transfer for my accommodation fees in guelph
what else....
gotta pack too (gd thing my baggage allowance is a max of 46kg! woohoo!)
and i haven't got much time left!
i'll be gone in less than 3 weeks
and i also need to colour/trim my hair before setting off

baked some really sweet cookies yesterday
by the time i finished the baking it was quite dark already
so i only took pictures of it today

anyway i baked 2 different types of cookies
the first was a batch of chocolate chip and oat cookies
err....somehow the mixture diddn't turn out quite right
cos it was really really sticky.....that i had to add in more flour while mixing
maybe cos i doubled the amount of oat? or issit cos i added more egg?
this time i used raw sugar instead of splenda
well, i guess they are still edible
but i still prefer the oat+raisins+assorted nuts cookie
that's still my all time favourite


chocolate chip and oat cookies

the 2nd batch of cookies were green almond and pandan cookies
they have a different texture as compared to the normal cookies
because they have a much finer texture (due to the icing sugar)
and they are a bit like those that 'melt' in the mouth cookies
the original recepie called for salted peas
but since i dun have any of those, i used crushed almonds instead
the mixture was fun to play with though
haha very nice to touch cos it's so 'soft'
but these cookies are really really sweet
i think they are originally supposed to be this sweet


almond pandan cookies

omg u have no idea how long it took me to upload just that picture!
something is not right with the internent connection today
maybe it's the weather....anyways....
so so sweet
but somehow i keep eating one after another hmm....

hahaha! i hope my next batch of cookies turn out better!

i've been trying to clear up my food in the food cabinet
trying to finish up those cereal, oats, soy milk, tea, instant noodles....etc etc
i'm gonna have to drink lots of tea!
now i'm left with earl grey and peppermint tea

think i should go make myself another cup of tea.....
