Nichole's way to Distress

As a normal ordinary uni student as I am, it is very normal that I got stressed when the results week is near. In order to distress, I took the trouble to occupied myself so that I won't get so jumpy and worried.

So, the first day of the result week, I pick up the choco cookie mixture and baked some choco cookie. It is perfectly baked and so yummy that I can actually sell it!!! Kidding....



Second day of the result week, I thought of my friend who are now in School of Culinary Art, so I texted him and forced him to give me a recipe.

He sent me this, '250g cake flour, 250g butter, 500 water and 8 eggs. Go bake yourself some cream puff.'

And my imminent reaction is, creeeeeeeeeeeeeem puuuuuuuuuuuffff....... and started drooling. My family member love cream puff. We could spend a bomb in it. So, if I could excel in baking cream puff, I can save up the bomb we're gonna spend in buying cream puff. And the bomb, perhaps, I could use it to bomb someone. Anyway, I was trilled with the fact that I'm going to excel in baking cream puff till I realized, there's no instruction included in the recipe.

Of course, being me, I again forced my friend to spill out the beans. And I happily went to bought the ingredients. In the mall, I faces a gazillion types of flour and I started to go 'eh? what's the different between pau flour and self-raising flour?'. And, being the smart ass, I thought pau flour is the flour that I am supposed to used for the baking till my mom ask me to clarify with my friend. Obviously, not the pau flour.

So, got my ingredient and off to the kitchen!!!!

And here's my cream puff!!!!


Well, actually I mean, dead puff.

So, being the smart ass again, I, obviously have to store my dead puff right? Takan just buang wert. So, I kept it with my cookie together-gether. Happily betul!!!
   


So, the third day of result week, in the morning, I woke up and though of having a home-made choco cookie with a cup of milk.

And guess what, my choco cookie became choco cake instead. The cookie absorbed the moisture of the dead puff and became soften. So I thought, although it is crunchy no more, but it definitely going to taste the same. Mana tau, it totally sux!!!! There goes another box of dead choco cookie. Sigh. 

Well, fourth day of result week, I woke up at 3 mid night and started to check the web page for my result. It's like duh!!! Stupid me, who the hell will work in the middle of the night. But I just couldn't sleep. It's been few nights I could not sleep well. Keep waking up middle of the night.

Ehem.... Finally, results out. Guess what, I'VE PASSED MY EXAMS!!!! MWAHAHHAHAHAHA......

Okay, nothing to be happy about. Because of my stress, I've murdered about 20 cream puff and 15 choco cookie.

But, I stared to bake again. After my results. And this is how my cream puff look like.


KIDDING!!!!!

My second attempt on cream puff failed miserably AGAIN.
But this time I got 'them' a separated container. No more smart ass act.

So, in total, around 40 dead puff I've baked!!!

Who can help me with cream puff????!!!!

Love,
Nichole
