3 heaped tbsps peanut butter (use creamy peanut butter)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
Brown sugar pearls (available at specialist baking store)

PEANUT BUTTER ICING

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups fine sugar
3 tbsps milk, or as needed
1 cup heavy cream, whisked until stiff

1. Preheat oven at 150C. Grease an 18-hole cupcake tin; line with paper cups.

2. Scoop 1/2 tsp rounds of peanut butter onto a clean plate. Freeze the peanut butter until firm.

3. Sift together all the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cocoa. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add oil, vanilla essence, eggs and milk.

4. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 30 secs. Turn mixer up to high and continue beating for 3 mins, scraping mixture off the sides of the bowl occassionally.

5. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and push the hardened peanut butter dollops into individual cupcake batter. Bake for 10 to 15 mins.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the icing by placing the butter and peanut butter into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, and when it starts to thicken, add milk one tablespoon at a time, until all of the sugar is incorporated and the frosting is thick and spreadable. This takes about 3 mins.

7. Fold in the whisked cream into the peanut butter; mix slowly until well incorporated. Top the peanut butter cupcakes with the frosting. Sprinkle sugar pearls over and allow to set.

Dreaming
Friday, November 7, 2008
Meow everyone. Sorry for no entries for the past few days. I was down with fever, flu, sore throat and cough, again, after eating some serunding [Kelantanese malay food]. I had fever for 3 nights and tonight the fever is finally free from my body. And this time I didn't visit doctor because I'm pretty tired of always visiting one and what's more I have lots of paracetamol and some panadols.

I'm somewhat fine now but I just need more rest. Will be back tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I just need to find more bishie to get better...

Be with me.

To be frank, have you ever fallen for someone and all you could do during that time is just to think of the person that you like or love? Have you ever have this feeling if only you could hug your crush all day and all night long? What if this can come true??

Oh well you can always get bolster case with the ones that you like. For example this case:

Ikki Tousen Great Guardians Rohu Hosen Body Pillow Case / Character Goods


Ooh didn't this picture just prove that bolster cases don't need to be your favourite characters. It could just be any sexy character like this:

AIKa R-16 Aika Sumeragi Body Pillow Case / Character Goods


Did you drool? No? Aiya because I did in a way wondering why no male anime characters printed on bolster, pillow cases and bedsheets. Why only female characters?!! ARGHH. I'm pretty sure there are many women out there would surely buy these kind of collectible. I would if there is Sesshoumaru pillow case. Hey, I'm just being honest here. The nearest thing is this for female fans, I presume:

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! / Hibari Ver. 2 Microfiber Sports Towel / Character / Goods


But what anime/ manga is this?! This guy can't even stand shoulder to shoulder with Itachi or even Kakashi? Not appealing to female fans at all. If the companies think printing male characters is not appealing maybe they should just stop at the male's attires; they don't need to be stripped like they did to the female. Yea. It would be a disaster if you ask guys to pose the same pose as the female did in those beer ads.

Speaking of bishies, maybe I should just get some bishie plushie. Yes... a collection of bishie plushie. Anyone with me?

BUSTED
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
I had a quite shocking morning/ afternoon just now. I was shocked to see my blog being opened on the extra computer in my office. And somehow I knew who opened because she has been using that computer for the past few days. As I said I was very shocked but calmly enough to walk over to that computer to close my blog and delete all history.

I'm not afraid of being gossiped or backstabbed by my colleagues who have read my blog with that computer. Sufficeto say, I hope 1) the people I critized will do some reflection on themselves regardless my claims false or true and 2) they have extra of entertainment to entertain themselves.

Say whatever there is to say about me and I won't budge from my stand: I will blog whatever I want whether you like it or not.

If You don't like what is written about you, then take into account of the poison writer criticism of you. If you are clean, then you have nothing to be afraid of. But if you criticize me before correcting yourself, you are just one heck of an arrogant person who refuse to accept your own weakness.

Lesson to RENAYE: remember to clean the history after the using that spare computer to check on my blog.
