Oh what a weekend...


I had intended to post an entry late last night but was simply impossible.. my little Sonia is feverish and to see her all quiet is a little disheartening.. me and my big mouth.. always telling others that my little one is a chatterbox.. :o(


Sooo my sis in law landed safely early yesterday.. Sonia was super excited and as soon as she saw her bibik she quickly ran and gave her a big big hug.. she must hv missed her bibik alot! tmrw if Sonia is a little better.. we plan to take her to the zoo.. will see...



Anyway after we got home and while everyone was taking a nap.. i decided to prepare a simple cheesecake.. the plan was to have it today but 3hrs after i placed it in my fridge.. Timo (hb's work colleague) came over.. so i quickly took it out.. sliced em and served it to him.. am so so glad that at least the cheese mixture had set and we are able to indulged in this super delicious.. ice cream like.. super soft in texture and super rich strawberry cheesecake... ahhhh need i describe more how this heavenly cake tastes like?? hehehhe.. recipe fm here

When I posted the previous entry, I also alerted Facebook on a "copyright" issue. (If you click on a picture it says underneath something like "Is this your copyright"). I gave them the offending images and gave them the link to my pictures. Within 6(!) hours this was the reply from FB:

I was really surprised that when it comes to these type of things, even big organizations can be very effective.

The same morning I received the reply from FB, "Amirah" also replied, apologized and mentioned that it was not her intention to "steal" as she is not good in taking pictures and picked pictures randomly from the net. In a second email she again apologizes and asks to have the FB image removed from my blog.

So, Amirah, here is my response:
1) Apology accepted, but not your reasoning.
2) You seem to be smart enough to crop out my watermark on the picture so I do not see why you should plagiarize other people's images. If you take something which belongs to someone else without their permission it is called stealing - as simple as that. Also, your pictures are not really "random" - almost all were from my blog (including your profile picture).
3) I will not take it any further.. just want this to be a lesson for everyone..and Amirah, because of that I will not remove the FB image.

This episode should go out to anybody out there who think it is correct to copy and paste without acknowledging the source. Even I copy recipes from other places, but it is always accompanied with a reference.
