Happy Moo Year!

I wanted to make something for Lunar New Year. Yes, something quick, simple and more or less fail-safe. No, not ID10T-proof, as nothing is ID10T-proof. Oh c'mon, photos could still turn-up blurry using those ID10T-proof, dummy point-and-shoot cameras. :p Pineapple tarts (tedious, too much work), mini-prawn rolls (time consuming), cookies (never tried before, and no cute-cute cookie cutter)... are out of question.

Fear not! I've something up my sleeve. SisC shared with me how to make those delicious and more importantly, easy-to-prepare chocolate-almond-cornflakes-bites years ago. I've made it a couple of times with slight variations, such as replacing the hundreds-and-thousands (aka coloured-rice) with roasted almond bits, cronflicks pre-bundled with almonds, unsweetened baking chocolate, etc. They are mostly not decisions made intentionally, but by mistakes or 'fate', because I bought the wrong stuff, or what I needed wasn't available when I needed them (new murphy's law - i can't find 'em when I need 'em). And I'm not ashamed to share I've burnt the chocolate at least once and have to abort my 'operations' as I ran out of chocolate once. :)

Given the current gloomy economic climate, let's still welcome the "Year of Ox" with open arms and celebrate. I watched 'the secret' DVD about a year ago and it over Oprah's show yesterday morning. So, I said to myself, must consistently remind myself to think and be positive so as to attract what I wanted ( but not without ACTing); must create a 'vision board' to etch into my mind what I want to achieve (again, must ACT to see results as nothing will fall from the sky) - that is, believe and apply the "Law of Attractions". Could I? Only time will tell......

Happy Niu Year!

Happy Moo Year!
Moo moo moooooooooo.....
