Choco Chip Oatmeal Cookies and Choco Chip Bars

Last weekend was a DIY weekend.
I painted my living room upstairs (but I won't discussed about it until it is completely done) and I baked some cookies.
Actually, this is my third experience in baking cookies.
On the first experience, the cookies were delicious, but I slightly burnt those cookies.
On the second experience, it's not getting better. Instead, I completely burnt the Choco Chip Oatmeal Cookies, and I put too much of baking powder, so the taste is bitter.
Yesterday, finally I made those perfect cookies.
Both the Choco Chip Oatmeal and Choco Chip Cookies were delicious without getting burnt.
The recipe, Chocolate Chip Bars (by Shirley Glaab) is originally taken from allrecipes.com .
I modified the recipe, add some cocoa, oatmeal and cinnamon to gives some scent and different texture.

fresh from the oven...

CAN you THINK before you ACT?

I rarely use capital letters to emphasize my words. But I've just read an annoying news (again).
The headline was simple 'A student is on critical condition after hit by TransJ when crossing the busway'.
A lot of people gave their comments on this article.
Some people ahow the sympathy to the driver, some to the student.
As a fellow human, I sympathize the student, hope that she/he will get well soon.
But as a citizen, I'm pro with the driver.
Busway is supposed to be a sterile area. Only transJ can pass on the busway lane.
It really tick me when I read a comment 'the bridge to cross is too far away'
Come on, as long as I know, sometimes people are just too lazy to go up the stairs, or to turn their way a little bit.
I saw the reality everyday.
People are crossing the street just below the bridge.
It makes me frustated to saw that view everyday.
People are to accustomed to the shortcut.
I like shortcut. I admit that.
But I will only use a safe shortcut.
I have a brain, I can think, I know the risk. If it's not safe, I won't use the shortcut.
There is no point of cutting a few minutes if you endangered yourself and other people.
Don't be such an egoistic man.
Think bigger. Whatever you do, think about the impact globally.
Maybe you think I'm an over thinking person. But better to think hard before act. Because if something is getting out of the rail, I just don't want to be blamed, especially by YOU.

A moment of weakness, A lifetime of regret

This blog title is quoted from Testimony, Anita Shreve's book title.
I think everyone of us has our own moment of weakness that's always regretted.

Mine?
I regret the moment when I can't speak up my mind.
Maybe it's more a 'don't'.
Every people can speak, but sometimes they choose just to stay ignorant by being quiet.
I don't like seeing people litter the trash. But i didn't say anything.
I don't like people who cut the line. But i didn't say anything.
Maybe staying ignorant is just an easy way at that moment. But i regret those 'being quiet's.
It's the time to speak your mind.. or there will be another moment of weakness and more regrets in your life..
