Time flies and there is only 3 months to my son's first important milestone - PSLE. I really hope that he will mature in time to realised that this milestone will play a big part for his future.
After speaking to, many of my friends, I have actually revised my plan B for him. A hard decision but I guess it will be a safer and better environment for him. Knowing my son's personality, I seriously doubt he will be able to handle complicated situation.
Anyway enough said, for this quarter, I will be really have to walk hand in hand with him for this part of the journey. Hopefully it will help him to focus better and excel. Whatever it is, at the end of the day, he too needs to put in the effort to make it work.
My oven has been lying cold for nearly a week and I just needed to warm it up a little. Since hubby is going away, I too wanted to bake MA something. She has been really a kind lady to us. So let's hope MA likes these cuppies that I prepared. Hubby didn't want to hand carry the cupcakes so I got no choice but to leave it "naked". This Honey Almond cake is really delicious, the nice honey aroma as well as the almond bits blend in so well.
Thanks C for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. I will definitely going to bake this again.

I also baked a brownie as I was craving for one. The last one I done was for a gathering and I didn't even really get a chance to have a decent bit to it. So I went and bake one for ourselves. Besides the previous brownie, I usually overbaked my brownie. I have to remember hard to lower down the temperature the next round. Which I believe is pretty soon because my dearest son is crazy over this. Perhaps it is the chocolate that he so deprived from.
