burnt crap





if you think the image above looks like sh*t, it does. but if you think it IS sh*t, sorry to say that it isn't, but it is an example of a 'chocochip' cookie that my group baked today. we actually had many of these 'weird' shapes to be baked, but the final batch was ruined by 'excess' baking paper that unfortunately caught fire while in the oven for less than 5 minutes. shame, but at least the lesson has been learnt(hopefully!)

baking class didn't go smoothly for my group today, but we make mistakes and learn from them. my thanks goes out to my leader, Jacinth, Esther, Elwin, and Jeffrey.

OLE OLE OLE OLE......

Spain 1-0 Holland


see that scoreline above?^
all hail the La Furia Roja, or simply translated, RED FURY! Spain ARE the winners of the 2010 edition of the World Cup after defeating The Netherlands by a single goal thanks to Andres Iniesta, who struck home a sweet 116th minute winner past Holland goalie Maarten Stekelenburg. in the beginning the game was dreary, with both teams playing quite defensively (in my honest opinion), giving away needless fouls, and true to its cause, the game ended in the 0-0 scoreline at the end of the regulation time 90 minutes. the first half of extra time saw a few shots at goal by both teams, but thanks to their respective goalies the scoreline remained the same. then enter the Iniesta moment. a cross by Fernando Torres was cleared away sloppily by a Dutch defender, and when the ball landed at the feet of Iniesta, the whole world knew that the trophy would go to Spain. Holland played well, but did not last the full game. Holland's disciplinary woes continue, as they picked up nine yellow cards and a red card, shown by Howard Webb to John Heitinga for a foul on Iniesta.


OVERALL - congratulations to the Spanish for perservering despite the long match. truly deserved winners, they. Holland, on the other hand, can take heart in this defeat as they showed that they are back to business playing in finals again.

VIVA SPAIN!

Spain are in the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. i am still digesting this piece of great news. i cannot believe that, when i woke up to switch on the TV for the results, that Spain could have upset Germany, possibly the better of the two teams. but that's what Spain did, with none of their strikers scoring but Carles Puyol, the defender. it was a great header, i must say. Spain will now need to work extra hard to prepare for the final. they cannot rest on their laurels yet. as for the Germans, it will be another four years till their next chance will come.
