31.12.2012 - NYE

Time flies and fashionably yours find that year 2012 zoomed past so fast.  In fact, too fast.  It is now the last day of year 2012 and it is NYE.  Have been super duper busy with work and hardly have time to update my blog.  Well still try to make time to update my blog regularly, best effort.  Thanks to all my readers and for your support on my blog.

Looking back on year 2012, fashionably yours still shop but shop less nowadays compared to last time.  Too busy with work and don't have time to spend money which is a good thing.  I can save money and invest it.  Thus in 2013, frugality shall apply and continue the good work of saving and investing money.  Above all I want good health too.  

I don't believe in New Year Resolutions anymore.  I believe in live and let live, enjoy every moment.  Be happy and be healthy.  Of course eat healthy food and don't feed yourself with garbarges such as junk food or any food that has no vitamins and minerals.  Must eat food that are nutritious and nourish one's body system.  It is important to drink enough h20. 

Last Friday, fashionably yours took a break from work since have been working non stop.  It was really a good break from work to recharge, rest and relax.  Was at Holland Village so dropped by Plain Vanilla Bakery to buy cupcakes.  I had the red velvet and white chocolate strawberry cupcakes.  Yummy.  

Also met Nana and she chose a nice classy swaroski crystals and fresh water pearls necklace for me.  It suits my personality.  I love it so much.

Hope everyone had a fantastic 2012 and more good things in 2013. Whenever you are have a blessed 2013.  *hugs* 

God bless everyone of you.  The final countdown to 2013........

Teambuilding

Last Friday, fashionably yours went for my company's teambuilding at Orchidville.  It was fun.  We started off with eating breakfast.  The food is yummy and all of us ate so much.  I had the fried bee hoon, cream puff and orange juice.  There are sandwiches as well.  I did not take pictures of the food because was too busy eating and catching up with my colleagues.  

After all of us had satisfied our stomach.  We started off with some warm up and entertained by the organisers.  We had so much fun and laughters.    In the morning, we had baking session.  We baked pizza and muffins.  We divided our team of 10 pax into 2, one group did the pizza and the other group did the muffins.  I baked the muffins.  

The recipe which I roughly remembered :

Mix the egg and olive oil together in the bowl. 

Beat it using the baking utensils.  

Pour in the corn flour, sugar and baking flour.

Continue to beat it using the baking utensil till it form a hard paste  

Transfer the paste into small baking cups.

Add in the chocolate chips.

Put them inside the oven to bake.

The muffins tasted very sweet and yummy.  Love it.  I enjoyed baking the muffins.  Some of my colleagues said the muffins look like cup cakes.  The organisers said ours is such a big group (about 270 pax), seems like at a wedding dinner.  Then we did the yum seng thingy with our muffins/cupcakes.  So funny.

After our baking session, we proceed for lunch.  Had fried rice, mee goreng, fish, black pepper chicken, brocoli, curry, cakes, fruits and orange juice for lunch.  Yummy.  We eat and eat and eat alot. 

In the afternoon, we had our amazing race at Orchidville.  We raced in the sun and in the rain.  We were to perform some activities at each station. Done a lot of walking and the road was very slippery since it was raining.  My team did not win but we had lots of fun and laughters together in the outdoor. 

I kinda of enjoyed baking the muffins/cupcakes.  If anyone of you have the recipes for muffins/cupcakes, feel free to share with me.  Thanks.
