Rebecca Bloomwood - a sweet and charming New York City girl who has a tiny, little problem that is rapidly turning into a big problem: hopelessly addicted to shopping and drowning in a sea of debt.
She has dreams of working for a top fashion magazine, but can't quite get her foot in the door -- that is, until she snags a job as an advice columnist for a new financial magazine published by the same company.
Overnight, her column becomes hugely popular, turning her into an overnight celebrity, but when her compulsive shopping and growing debt issues threaten to destroy her love life and derail her career, she struggles to keep it all from spiraling out of control--and is ultimately forced to reevaluate what's really important in life.Nice interesting story I would say. Though Rebecca could be quite dumb and act stupidly but it's pretty hilarious overall.
Thinking if I should get the book from Cordelia? Will I read... ...

I love that sponge cake, it was delicious, till I forgot how many pieces I ate. *LOL. It was at Sentosa Costa Sands Resort, which was pretty crowded and in quite a mess initially as the place is small and congested.
Food wasn't that fantastic =P
Lucky and thanks to Ken - Hubby's best buddy, we got 'shun feng che'!

Chewy Cookies [make 3 dozen]
These are brownie-like and chewy. Be careful not to overbake them, they may seem like they aren't done after 10 minutes but they are!
- 2 1/4 cups [533.25ml] All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1 cup [227g] unsalted butter : softened but still firm
- 1/2 cup [100g] granulated sugar
- 1 cup [200g] brown sugar : firmly packed
- 2 tsp pure vanilla essence
- 2 eggs : cold, straight from refrigerator
- 1 pack (12oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips : frozen, straight from the freezer
These are brownie-like and chewy. Be careful not to overbake them, they may seem like they aren't done after 10 minutes but they are! - Preheat oven with oven rack in center position.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Beat butter until creamy.
- Add in granulated and brown sugar, beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until well incorporated.
- Add in vanilla essence and beat until incorporated.
- Add in the dry ingredients and beat until just incorporated, don't overmix.
- Add in the chocolate chips.
[If you find that the dough is very soft, cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30minutes] - Using one tsp of batter per cookie, drop cookies 2-inches apart.
- Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, still have pale tops and are soft in the center, about 10-11 minutes.
[Do not overbake! They will firm up more during cooling]
**Note: Keep the chocoltae chips in the freezer so that they are extremely cold when it is time to bake the cookies. This helps to keep the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
