不管遇到多少挫折要记得世界还是美丽的
终有一天你的努力一定会受到肯定的

i did quite badly for my exams this sem and i can only blame myself for not working hard enough! though when i first saw my results i was blaming/cursing the lecturers/ci who gave me that grade..but to think of it..is it their fault or my fault? should be mines! i slacked too much this sem and almost all modules i studied last min! 零时抱佛脚! so now have to accept the consequences of my actions!

i was quite upset with my grades and gpa dropped! and suddenly i rmb saying b4 when i entered poly, aim is to just pass all subjects that's all! mindset was then just get C or B can already~ and i realised after u get As before and ur mindset somehow changed! though i tell my frens can pass im happy already but i realised now i dun wan just a pass..i want aim for B+ or A...and this builds up the pressure within me! and of coz this causes me to be sad when i see a no of Cs in my current results..

my sis was encouraging me and im thankful for that~ yr 2 really not easy and for the next sem my aim is not to see any Cs and below! i will work hard for the sake of my bright future and my family =) i believe in 雨过天晴~ i can do better =) be confident be motivated and be strong =)

as for the CI who gave me C for my clinical posting(this module is 14credits) which is why my gpa dropped, i blamed her at first but to think abt it, this might be a stepping stone for me to aim for B next sem! its not easy but i can try =)

finally tml is last day of my current sem attachment!! i can't wait for weekends and my 2wks of holidays! shall enjoy myself with meetups with frens & of coz the most anticipated trip on 13 oct!! going cruise with family =D can't wait!! haha!

Did you konw that:when people appear in your dreams,
It's because that person wants see you.
知道吗？那个人出现在你梦中，是因为那个人想见你。- 时代杂志

Strawberry cheesecake recipe (by my sis fren meishan)
With photos (taken by me =D)

No baking required. Can use plastic containers, line the base and sides with aluminium foil or plastic so that can take out the cake after it hardens. The cake consists of biscuit base, cheese and jelly. You can vary the amount of each section as it only changes the height for each of those sections. Also adjust the amount of ingredient with the base area of the container you are using.

For container with base area of about 108 square inch (eg two 9" by 6" containers). Height about 2". Line the container with aluminium foil or plastic so cake does not stick to sides.

(ingredients needed for cheesecake)

Biscuit base
320g digestive biscuits, 160g salted butter

(bought from marks & spencer! haha)

Melt the butter till liquid (no need to boil) and leave till cool. Crush the biscuits till fine. Stir in the cool melted butter till well mixed. If butter is hot, biscuit will turn soggy, no good.

(butter melted) (crushing bicuits)

(mixed the melted butter & biscuits)

Press the biscuit into base of container. Put into fridge to cool while we prepare the cheese. Must press, so that when butter hardens, it forms a solid base.

Cheese
750g of cream cheese (buy from baking shop cheaper, otherwise Philadelphia cheese from NTUC will cost $15. You may choose to use 500g if don't like so much cheese and adjust the rest of ingredients accordingly.)

3 teaspoon gelatin powder (NTUC or baking shop) (more better)

70g sugar

A little vanilla essence
150ml boiling water (less better)
15 mid-small strawberries, cut in halves (not too red)

(washed)

Add gelatin in batches into boiling water and mix until dissolved. Dissolve sugar in the water too.

Cream the cheese (by hand or slow speed on electric mixer) until soft. You may need to soften the cheese before creaming. Add vanilla essence. Add gelatin syrup slowly and cream until smooth. The syrup must still be hot, else gelatin becomes sticky.

Pour into the container on top of biscuit base. Shake gently so that the height is even. Place strawberries on top of cheese, submerged partially. Refrigerate until cheese is firm.

Jelly
2 packs strawberry flavoured Tortally jelly
300ml boiling water
300ml cold water (put in fridge)

Can wait 1hr before preparing jelly. Dissolve jelly in boiling water or over small fire. Let cool. Add cold water, stir well, allow to cool completely.

Gently pour over hardened cheese (strawberries should not float). Preferably should have enough jelly to cover the strawberry. Put into fridge to harden.

Enjoy !!

PS: I didn't have chance to take a nice end-product coz was busy distributing the cake in a hurry as the ladies are heading home! haha nvm..shall take it the next time i do again =)
