As 2016 comes to a close, let me review what I have done this year:

• Gone through a heartbreak (thanks but no thanks? LOL.) Didn't know I could cry that much. Honestly amazed. Didn't know I can recover (from crying) that fast too. LOL.
• Fun open-house with all the gambling over at CNY
• Survived the last year of UOL. I graduated!!
• First time going to Japan - ie butler cafe omg
• First time going to Penang
• Explored cafes in JB
• I think I went overseas quite a few times this year, lolol #passportmostchoppedyear
• Went to Hebe's concert
• Only cooked once this year? The milo tiramisu, lol
• Maintained Starbucks gold card
• Christmas Wonderland
• Botanic Gardens's christmas deco
• Contour for the first time in my life
• Buying other brand's makeup items
• BB share-a-gift
• Hit my goal for work I set myself this year #thankful
• Won LINE stuff - notepads LOL
• Bought Hebe's new album

Chef zy is back!! LOL.

Made some diy tiramisu for 8 people for the Christmas party on Tuesday.
Have already decided which 6 to give.
May eat the other 2, or give to 2 more people. LOL.

So the last time I made them, it was pretty successful?
I had good reviews. So, LOL. But didn't take a photo then bc it wasn't photogenic.

Here's my recipe, after cross-referencing via 3 blogs.

These are the 3 blogs I have referenced:

Milo Tiramisu (with crushed Kit Kat)

Ingredients:

• 200ml whipping cream
• 250g mascarpone cheese
• Savoiardi (ladyfingers)
• 3 in 1 instant milo

Instructions:

1. Prepare 3 in 1 instant milo as per normal - leave aside for later use.
2. Beat whipping cream and add milo powder until creamy. (I added one tablespoon of milo, and I spilled some whipped cream on the floor as I was whipping, LOL.)
3. Add mascarpone cheese and mix. Added a few teaspoons of milo as I was mixing.
4. Place ladyfingers on the jar. I tend not to like it when it's dipped, so I would pour 1/2 teaspoons of milo over the ladyfinger biscuit.
5. Layer with cheese. Number of layers up to you. Some of my jar had 3 layers, some had 2 layers.
6. Sprinkle with crushed kitkat or just dust with milo. (I did both this time round)

And omg, it's done!!!

Anyway, basically why I use 250g of mascarpone cheese is because I bought the 500g one (referring to the mascarpone cheese).
So using half of it is easier, given our supermarket's whipping cream's standard size is 200g.
I guess the proportion of whipped cream and mascarpone is different this time round since I spilled some of the whipped cream, lolol.

Didn't like the texture of whipped cream when it's too hard? Lol. So I'd do it till creamy.
And one thing to note is to remember to pour the 1 or 2 teaspoons of milo over the ladyfinger biscuit.
I forgot to do for one, and I attempted to redo it by scraping a little of the cheese off, and pour the milo through there. HAHAHA.

I was trying to find Kit Kat tiramisu recipes online but couldn't find. :(
Wonder if it's because the texture is fundamentally different.
Like the tiramisu base is soft/creamy and ice-cream like, whereas kit kat is harder?
So clash of taste in the tastebuds.

I still have the other half ingredients to do another batch of this?
Haha. Might experiment with another flavour, or just stick to this, lolol.

Think my level of selfie is getting higher all thanks to snapchat. LOL.

Like omg, just look at this selfie.

Tbqh, I've noticed that as I change effects, my face shape doesn't change.
So does it mean it's the angle in which I smile, which makes my photos different? Lol.
Like because I like to smile (showing my teeth), thus it showed my rounder cheeks? Lol.

Anyway, wrote letters to our 10 year later selves and to each other for our secondary school clique.

Also went to Pricilla's house to make bread!
End product so nice. First time eating freshly made bread too.
Jieying cooked scrambled eggs and mushrooms.

Scrambled eggs seem pretty simple to cook. Shall try it next time.

Been trying out a new way of drawing my eyebrows last Monday.
I think I've gotten used to it?
No wonder my friends get frustrated when their eyebrows are not nice. Lol.

I think my makeup skill has increased too.
All thanks to my Secret Santa - Jovey for the contouring stick!!

I feel like makeup is so amazing. LOL.
Much sense of accomplishment.

Been reading up on news and I think 2016 is a relatively unstable year?
Political wise.

Like, Brexit happened. I remember an investment house coming to update us about funds, telling us Brexit will not happen, lol. And the very next day, it happened.

Next, US elections. Pretty sure everyone knows Trump has won by now. Hillary is going for a recount of votes right now. Not sure how the final verdict will be.

Read that New Zealand's Prime Minister is gonna resign too. The resignation came as a surprise.

Italy's Prime Minister is gonna resign too. Omg. Because of the people voting no to a referendum.

What is happening in 2016.

It feels like to me, people are rebelling against past built walls.

Like the EU? It was meant to have free trade etc between the countries to boost business.
Countries leaving the EU totally defeats the purpose of EU, lol.

Anyway, here's a selfie of myself. HAHAHAHA. This filter even helps me to highlight my nose? LOL.
