i know my photos are all over. heh, my bad, i was experimenting :) i baked. yes, i bloody BAKED. baking just seemed far more captivating than studying. baking - my idea of running away :) okay, the day was monday 15.09.08. after the library, reached home, i didnt do anything; studying was so not an option. TING! *light-bulb pops up* baking seems rather productive. so, off i was rummaging through the pantry for ingredients. initially wanted to bake the cliche oreo cheesecake but couldnt find any oreo. i found pieces of white chocolate and thought it was cheesecake material so i went to browse the web for recipes. i crushed random biscuits i found from the pantry to act as the base of the cheesecake. my lack of ingredients explains the size of the cheesecakes; there was only 150g of cream cheese. i mixed everything up. filled the ramekins. time to decorate. it was either 100s 
and 1000s, chocolate hail, colourful hail, chocolate chips or those
silver bit bobs. to credit my work, i put my initial on one of them, HEHEH. my family HAS to know i made them. i gave up chocolate chipping the other one. refrigerate. just so you know, both cheesecakes were a disaster. it tasted like cream cheese with biscuit. hmm, we wonder why.. anyhow, despite its awful taste, brothers still ate them both. thank god, there was no way i was gonna eat it. they just saved waste :) rushed of to work not long after. okay, that was baking 
attempt #1. after work, dropped in the supermarket to buy oreos,
cream and cream cheese. i am going
to get this baking thing done right. If brandon can bake, i can too. baking attempt #2 begins. according tho the recipe, i have to cube the cream cheese and had bit by bit when mixing =.=?? i just cut it in 4 pieces; should have the same outcome. it got stuck not long after. that's where brandon came in. p/s he only helped A BIT, really. after the cream cheese, the sugar went in then the
small areas, the CAKE WILL NOT STICK. i went to fix it up and the 
cake went it. the recipe said to leave the cake in the oven for 2 hours and 35 minutes. i was gonna follow the recipe until i saw a burnt spot on the surface of the cake an hour and a half in. i took the cake 
out. it looked cooked. i THOUGHT I SAVED IT. i was wrong. i did the opposite actually. i took it out of the cake tin AND it cracked like crazy and it lost it's shape. i then realized it was still wet on the inside. shoved it 
but brandon suggested mock cream. he said it's sweetened cream. so he 
made the cream. it was luscious, i tell you :)
then i crushed oreos hoping to get the cookie in a perfect quarters. the biscuit part kept cracking into bits. i went through a whole bag only to get 10 perfect ones. i stuck them to the edge of the cake. i didnt know what to do with the centre. i thought stenciling it with cocoa 
power would be a good idea. *look at the photo* it obviously didnt turn out well. so, i had to cover it all up . sprinkled crushed oreos all over it. put bits of silver bob bobs on it so it wont be so 
gloomy. yah. YAY! i made a cheesecake. a PRETTY one :D so freakin HAPPY.! i didnt want to cut it but someone said the real test is how the cake tastes like not how it looks like :( i couldnt find a cake knife, someone broke it apparently. so, i took the chef's knife instead. i stared at it for ages not knowing which way i should cut it. eventually went with the triangle cutting style. it tasted like what it should taste like. well, to me it does :) it was past 12 when i ended my baking craze. brandon was dead on the couch by then. next morning, DADDY, MUMMY, JASON and BRANDON tried MY CHEESECAKE. and they said it was good :))) that's 4 people's opinion. it's not just me then, mah! S-U-C-E-S-S.! :D
