This week is a test week for the pupils, so I made the assessment paper 1 which is going to be tomorrow after recess at 10.30 a.m. It was a good experienced to make the paper by myself as a preparation when I'm really out for real working ;) ....
I haven't got the chance to update this blog since I spent my time in the kitchen baking all by myself. I made the new one for sale; the Ice-cream cones cuppies and Chocolate Brownies. I made those yesterday for my nephews and niece. As for the Brownies, I made them as a belated birthday gift to one of the teacher in school and some for my Cooperating Teacher ;D..For this week, I have something to try, something new he-he...I'll update about it....If it works ;)...Got the inspirations from school this morning when I was busy typing my overdue lesson plans oppssy! I forgot 2 of my plans just when I checked through my files this morning...
Last Friday was a bit tense for me since I made 4 dozens of different types of cuppies. I was suppose to start at 1 p.m. but then I fell asleep!!!! till 4 p.m. which made me really in a rushes to bake all the cuppies. The due for all the 4 dozens was that night!! Shoot!! So I made it till about 9 p.m. lol! All of them were just simple since they just asked for simple 1 and but just for the last cuppies :s I wasn't really satisfied for that. I had a headache towards the last bit of cuppies decorating session so the the last dozen didn't look that good as I was expecting them to be. But I was really glad they still love the taste fuh! That day I baked Chocolate Cuppies with Peanut Butter Frosting, Vanilla Cuppies with Nutella Fillings and Cream Cheese Frosting, Vanilla Cuppies with White Butter Icing and Chocolate Cuppies with Cream Cheese Frosting...All of them with different request..
I'm gonna make some more this Thursday or Friday most probably since there is another order from one of the teachers in school ;D....Somehow I'm getting motivated in doing what I'm doing now...I'm just the type of person who loves doing what I love to do, I won't care what it takes as long as I have the chance to do what I love...I connect my work with my hobbies since I love doing both Teaching and Baking, I think I get inspirations from both he-he...I'm learning from wherever I am ;)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah last Thursday I finally got the chance to watch new movies showing in cinemas. Naka and I watched Confession of a shopaholic starred by Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood. She's a funny lady when I watched the movie, it matched her :)....I love to see her bright colours clothes anything she wears...
I have some marking to do that has to be done by tonight...
So I guess I'm done with my updates...

There was an error yesterday when I was writing the post, when I checked just now the post appeared twice!...Planning my maths lesson now...Next week I'll be teaching Time topics for Primary 5 so now I'm still thinking how to make it an active lesson for my pupils. I love my class to be chaos coz sometimes I feel sleepy when I'm the only one explaining he-he..
Here are some of my cupcakes pictures. You can check it out more on my cuppy blogsite ;D
Yesterday I made Pink Sandwich which is suitable for kids party....Its quick & simple
Ingredients:
Bread
Cream Cheese
Food Colouring
Nutella
How to make:
- Cut the sides of the breads to make it the same size...Then you can use different shapes of cutter to shape your bread. I only cut it in circle and triangles as I was just making it for myself hehe...
- Then spread nutella on one side of each bread that has already been cut then top it onto of the same size of bread..
- When you're done spreading the nutella, then you can spread the cream cheese with any colour you like.
- Then maybe you want to design anything on top of the sandwich and you're done! :)
Hu-hu there's an error again!!! @#$% Well I'll try to upload the pictures soon...

The kids were doing fine, they did behave ;p and guessed what!

So all my papers, magnets and some other things fell here and there!!

Feel like typing some tips for everyone:
Cheap and easy way to get happy! ;)
Find Your Perfect Hue
Painting a wall at home can have a mood-boosting effect, says psychologist Nancy J. Stone, PhD, who studies the impact of color. It’s thought that blue is calming (ideal for bedrooms) and green creates a relaxed feeling (good for living rooms). Yellow is said to be cheery — a great kitchen hue.
Flake
Let that mountain of laundry slide for a weekend, and instead, simply read a great book or take a walk in nature. If you can’t hang out at home without guilt, apartment-sit for a pal. “Most of us are wired to do things to make ourselves happy, but just being in the moment creates joy,” says Kessel.
Set an Absurdly Easy Goal
Even if it’s just Get to work on time, Clean out wallet, or Make homemade vinaigrette, “accomplishments, no matter how insignificant, strengthen your sense of control over your life, and happiness is a by-product of feeling in control,” says psychologist John Reich, PhD.
Just Say No
The happiest people feel they have power over their time, says David G. Myers, author of The Pursuit of Happiness. Say “Sorry, I’m already booked” to a distant cousin’s shower or a nonessential work lunch.
Light a Scented Candle for No Reason
Stop saving your pretty pillar for entertaining and hookups. (What, you alone aren’t worth it?) Burn that thing to wick’s end, especially in a scent like lavender or green apple, which have been proven to lift your mood.
Love Notes 101
Firing one off to your man or even a great friend can bring you a feeling of contentment, says financial adviser Brent Kessel, author of It’s Not About the Money. So we brought in singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, whose romantic songs are iTunes best sellers, to help craft the perfect one.
1. Know your subject. If the object of your affection loves a certain food, color, quote, or animal, write about that. Be specific.
2. Avoid the words heart, soul, rose, forever, and die. All are grossly overused and make you seem unoriginal.
3. Don’t rhyme. Ever.
4. Illustrations are always cool.
5. Make him/her smile. Laughter is the best aphrodisiac.
Gleeful Eating
Who doesn’t love to chow? Follow these tips to get an even bigger mood boost from your meals.
1. Choose a white plate. Its clean palette accentuates the positive emotions you get from looking at a variety of hues and focuses your senses, making food taste better.
2. Color code your meals. A rainbow of colors makes you happy, but red may trigger you to eat more, so add yellow corn, some peppers, purple eggplant, and a sprig of mint or parsley.
3. Order first at a restaurant. After the first person goes, others tend to choose differently and wind up less satisfied with their pick, says Dan Ariely, PhD, author of Predictably Irrational.
Take the Long Way Home
Routines comfort humans, but ironically, switching them up and making them more novel also creates positive emotions. Once a week, throw a curve into your commute by swinging by a park on the way home or taking a river road to enjoy the scenery.
Flower Power
A cheap sunflower stem for your desk gives a bunch of benefits in one. It has associations with the sun and an almost human-looking face, and the color of its petals has been shown to evoke positive emotions. Plus, people with plants in their offices actually feel happier about their jobs, according to a new study in HortScience.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think...Making people around you smile is a good thing to do as it gives you a good vibe... ;D
Fuh! A big sighed for today as teaching practice has started today. So, went to primary school chosen nearby this morning. A BIG SMILED ON THE FACE to every single person right there to get the good vibes for my first day. I met the teachers and really thankful all of them are friendly :D which helps to develop my confidence more before I really starts teaching. I'm given Mathematics for Year 5 and English for Year 2. Well, given maths is a challenge for me! since I'm not really good in the area, maybe its a time to develop that mathematical skills he-he...
So, yeah gonna prepare for the lesson plans for next week classes. One thing I'm still thinking was whether I'm still having the same supervisor as being appointed or not because according to my cooperative teacher, the name of my supervisor was different! Hmph...got to send an e-mail to my previous supervisor if it is changing.
Gonna have 2 days Dental Workshops for all the final year students in uni on Wednesday and Thursday sigh~...
I'm glad the teachers are welcoming but yeah I have to slowly try to adapt myself with the school. The kids were fine so far that I know ;p...Hoping the class that I'm going to teach will be much fine and easy pizzy to manage! Waaa....!
Oh, I really miss baking cupcakes, birthday cakes and cooking my favourite dishes! hu-hu...
Gonna have a nap for half an hour...;D
xoxox,
Niz
How was your weekend?...Well,mine was fine just fine not fantastic or marvelous, just got back from Lumut for a family function with my mom. Oh yeah, yesterday was a dull day for me. I became moody because I was planning to pay bills in the morning but then my dad didn't turn up till 11am, so I didn't have a transport, I just stayed home the whole day and really damn bored! So I decided to cook pasta with chicken white sauce which I was really craving for it he-he...
and then in the evening, I wasn't in the mood to go out at all anymore so I made a small birthday cake for my lovely niece Yasmin ;) it is her 4th birthday today and I made her a simple Victoria Cream Cheese cake..well it sounded girlish but that's the name of the cake he-he..
I made cupcakes last tuesday for my cousin Nana but I FORGOT to take the pictures of it! hu-hu..I made her vanilla cupcakes with nutella fillings and buttercream icing...
...and not to forget I made some for her brother as a gift for passing his final exam :) and glad he loved it ;)
Those were the Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cheese fillings :) if you wana ask you can just email me>niza_1612@hotmail.com
................................................................................................................................
Still waiting for our results, hopefully they will release it by next week..hu-hu...Hoping for B he-he...
2009? What's next on my track: graduation, love life, careers, family, money, health and all. My mission is to do the best that I can in whatever I do this year, take as much as opportunities as I can.
Can't wait for a date tomorrow with Naka..:) going out on a lunch and maybe watching movie or cruising around...I wanna bring him watch sunset :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh...Just watched Make it happen and Definitely, Maybe like I said I'm not really update with movies ;p.. Both were fine but not 'wow' for me he-he..
That's it for now, I'm off to watch another movie alone~ in my bedroom he-he..
