Wondering how come I am so not productive

Besides coaching my girl on her forthcoming mid year exam, fulfilling some cake orders this weekend and watching the You Tube on the rallies, I seriously wonder how the rest of the time was spent. I felt so unproductive today.



I popped a Zytec pill last night as I can no longer take the itch. This is supposedly to be non drowsy but I ended up not able to ferry my son to school this morning for I was still so drowsy after a night of sleep.



Thanks to my hubby, I was able to stay in bed till 9ish. Actually I was woken up by the phone. Still unable to get out of bed, I lazed for another good half hour before I tell myself that I needed to really get things moving today.



I did an experiment on my weekend project and was disappointed with it at first. After an hour working on it, it broke into many pieces. Helper told me to give it some time to dry which I did. I was happy that it will turn out well after all.



I was feeling so lethargic that it is no point for me to continue my project as I wasn't focusing.



With the kids home, another attention diverted. In the end, I told myself I will bake instead or rather steam. I saw Cuisine Paradise's Japanese Steamed Cake and the last time I had this was in a stall at the basement of Ion. That stall has since closed down.



Nevertheless, I got my friend G to translate the recipe for me and this is what came out of it.



I divide the batch into two and added in chocolate chip for my son is a chocolate lover and since my daughter didn't have as sweet tooth as my son.





It is not fluffy kind of soft and it is not dense. I would say it is spongy in a good way. The kids like it but I think I could be a little more generous on the sugar.







The rest of the batter, I added in some thawed corn for my daughter as she doesn't have as sweet tooth as my son.







I borrowed my daughter?s toy as props for it sure been a long time she had a chance to play with these. Her schedule is so jam packed that gone are the days that she has time to play. I seriously pity her for at young tender of age of 8+, her childhood is robbed.
