Arh, as usual, I've accumulated alot of backlog! Shall start by clearing a little first, heh.
#1. Super impromptu baking session
I've been contemplating to bake for quite a while. As soon as I learnt that Bee has a whooping oven at home, I
Excited as I am, I do not have much of an idea of what should I really bake. There are sooo many recipes available at Videojug.com that I'm spoilt for choices! I was out earlier, so I asked Rainbow to scribble some ingredient lists down for a guide later at the supermarket (Don't ask why I didn't prepare earlier, I told you I was spoilt for choices, so I didn't choose!).
And we head down to the nearest supermarket and I randomly picked items that are usually used for baking, i.e. block butter, sugar and eggs (and this is after checking with Bee over the phone on the baking stuff she already have at home - Yes, I know I'm hopelessly unprepared!).
Which means, on the way to Bee's house, I still don't really have an idea of what to bake. Contenders as follows: 1. Chocolate chip cookies, 2. Chocolate fondant, 3. Apple crumble, 4. Brownie.
By the time we reached Bee's house, all of us are feeling nua already. Bee was addicted playing with Sims; Rainbow and I watched her play the really dysfunctional family (i.e. Girl is pregnant but don't wanna marry the guy. Girl keeps slipping into unconsciousness - Bee says she was too tired. Girl can't cook for nuts and burnt the kitchen, killing the maid or smth.)
It was finally time to make a decision as to bake what, so I decided to bake chocolate cookies - since I've done it before under Jiemin's supervision and cookies should be idiot-proof. ALAS, I FORGOT TO BUY BROWN SUGAR! -_-
The minimarts located in the vicinity don't sell brown sugar la! =_= So I decided to bake chocolate fondant, in the absence of cocoa powder (substituted by milo powder).
This is the recipe for chocolate fondant, tried and tested by Yiting!

Bee and Rainbow helped me through the baking process. Not feeling really certain how it'll all turn out, the first batch of fondants goes into the oven!
The first batch goes out of the oven.. looking somewhat there but not there.
It was too sweet and too liquid, but I was quite happy that I've got smth close! Haha. Rainbow and Bee thought it was good and took one to try respectively..
Just look at that hard-to-swallow expression
I learnt my lesson and sent the fondants into the oven for a longer duration. But still too SWEET! Then I realised, I used Hershey's SEMI-SWEET chocolate chips instead of DARK chocolate chips. With the same recommended amount of sugar! -_-
Batch 2, abit chao tar but more edible.
Comments about my chocolate fondants:
"Wah lao, I take sweet stuff one la, but yours.. Really too sweet! Can only take one a day at the max." - My sis
"Not bad!" - My supportive mummy!
"Too sweet" - My dad
"You should bake it again when it's cold. Tastes better!" - Bee
"Aiyo, Uncle's teeth are all dropping la! You think sugar free meh?" - Rainbow's dad
Ok... I'll try my best next time! So Bee, let me KIDNAP your oven AGAIN! Woots! :D
#2. Wii-ing at Rainbow's house!
As usual, Rainbow and her dad prepared a feast for Huiting and me! We watched a few episodes of HK dramas and played Wii!
Weeeeeee!
Huiting and I played this super kuso Rabbit game! It's brainless but super fun! LOL. We played bowling too!
This is Huiting scoring her SPARE!
Huiting is concentrating.. Haha.
Wii is soooo interesting! Shall I kidnap Rainbow's Wii too? Hehe.
Ok more up soon!
