We are strangers that are connected

Point of View

This is how I felt about what you've said. Everyone has flaws, nobody's perfect. You may have your point of view, I have mine too. You can't have everyone to fit in to what you want them to be, life is about going with the flow. Maybe it was my fault at the start but I stated very clearly that though I hate to do this, I'll just work for once since you've been asking me to. I'm sure everyone hates to be forced, so what is this? And once you can't have it your way, you come and insult me. What about you? Step in my shoes and think, for once.

Being a person who has been in love, you should know having a partner and not seeing him for 5 days a week can almost killed you. I only have less than 2 days (sometimes 1 day) to meet him, weekends are totally precious to me. You can just put everything together and insult me in all directions, huh? I give up, I really give up. I see no point of quarreling with you. If I fought back, things will just get even worse. So I'll just shut up and let you say all you want, because after all it's YOUR point of view.

I don't live for others, I live for myself. Saying I will be nothing for whatever reason is very much offensive (so may I assume you had been nothing before since you think this way?). Well I guess it's time to grow up and grow out of this thinking. If you wish to end this friendship due to my bad character, go ahead, since I make your life so difficult nowadays, we should just live our own lives since you hate me this much huh?

P.S. I apologize to whoever that had read this piece of brag. Sorry I had to vent at somewhere.

All things rainbow

This is Food Porn in RAINBOW

This is one pretty cupcake! Loved the colour swirl which you can see through the paper liner.

Left: With many colour layerings, Right: 4 layerings. Every bite of heaven! This is too amazing, I'm in awe...! The food colours combination is so chic and fun, I wanna make one too! (use a white batter instead of those of butter cakes-you can't capture the colour in the cake like this one if your batter is in yellow)

Rainbow M&Ms hellyeahh! Great world city level 2 or 3 has one bakery shop selling this, you could mix and match them or you could buy those in colour combo package. BUT, they cost a bomb! :(

100grams for $6 if I didn't remember wrongly.

Pancake! Maybe Macdonald should sell this too! But I must say, not very appealing though, I think the colouring used is too much..

OMG we have rainbow pasta here! This is real, believe or not! It makes one wonders how it is made!

This is a birthday cake! I love love love the colours! You can tell the effort and time spent by the baker! The icing, colouring and cake is perfectly executed, brilliant idea for a birthday cake!

Another birthday cake! It has the same concept as the above long palette cake, surprise the birthday guy/girl! It's hard to tell what's inside with all the white frosting until you cut it!

Tempting for a bite! :D I shall attempt to make one for my friend's birthday!

TATA FOR NAWW :)

We just got to know that the coming practical exam for FOB we'll be making 3 items which include soft rolls, pandan chiffon cake and cream puffs + elcair + pastry cream! Being a novice in baking, this is insanity. I've never baked so many things in one day, let it be in 5 hours! Moreover without Valentina as my partner, I really have no idea how this can be completed! Oh, the markers will be other mentors! Nooo I want Chef Lynn! So stressed out! Oh boy oh boy....

The boy's home

He's back! Oh like after a million years, he has finally returned with lesser flesh! Boyfriend slimmed down a lot (look like a monkey haha!) at Tekong, which means I'll look fatter standing beside him. =.=

Coming Monday is his birthday, thus I celebrated with him just now since he has to go back to camp that day. We went to Billy Bombers for dinner, he had a huge appetite, and yes I'm treating him so my wallet had a humongous hole. He ordered his usual salad, Buffalo wings(they're oh-so-good!), Lamb Shank as always and I ordered my Fish and Fries. Since I forgot to take photos, I shall get some images from the internet and make you drool in your seat :D

Green salad with juicy grilled chicken bits

Never dying love for Buffalo Wings(comes in 2 different sauces)! Eat them while they're hot and crispy!

His Lamb Shank, the smell of the lamb meat is reduced, meat is quite tender, but I find Secret Recipe has better Lamb Shank.

Ole Fish and Fries, overall is quite good, the fries are cut from potatoes manually! You can tell by looking at the odd shapes.

The dinner cost a bomb (the Bombers)! My wallet literally exploded! Haha maybe I'm kinda poor now, couldn't afford a $70 bill. He said he was gonna pay $20 but he didn't zzz.. I totally got scammed, thanks huh.

Now come to his present. I bought him a cheapo watch with fanciful lights and a carebear! How girly is that! I really have no idea what to buy for someone who has everything, yea EVERYTHING BRANDED! AND PICKY! So yup, got him some kiddish stuff hehehe but he seems to like the watch because you can change the colour of the light. Good thing he didn't wish for anything, so more money for my shopping spree tsk.

Ok sleep time, tired.

Tata for now people, do visit Billy Bombers someday, the food is quite good :)

Freelance

Just when I need money, my previous boss introduced me to my new boss for a freelance job. I don't know how to thank him personally, he's such a nice person. :)

As a freelancer, with computer skills learnt from my previous study and picked up while working in companies, my job is to visualize interior designed spaces. It's an easy job and easy money as well! Wee so happy as I'm able to handle the workload while studying my baking course.

Sigh but why does it have to be on test week, don't even have time to study! Oh well this is life, a sucky one, face it.

This is the render(board room) I did painstakingly with numerous changes while revising for my tests.

Tada~

Tata for now guys.

From design to baking

This is a major, major, MAJOR change in my life.

Design was everything to me back then, and I sucked in both cooking and baking as far as I could remember. Screwing up BBQ foods last year that everyone still remembers now ( I made salty barbecued prawns, the thing is: I have a motive of causing my friends to die of kidney failure, too bad it all went to the bin, darn). People only remember others' mistakes, they just leave the good points in their subconscious mind, deep beneath every thing else. Hate to be reminded of that incident. >:(

Never have I thought of being anywhere near to making food, up until now. It felt so good when you get praises from family and friends! Perhaps I have been going through criticism for the past three years in design course, that could be why. But I've never regret my design studies, the lecturers have taught me well, enabling me to learn from my mistakes through critique sessions and improve from there. I believe criticism is also crucial in the baking line to improve our skills.

Oh and some photos of fruit tarts I've made last Monday that I would like to show off.. I mean show.

I must say, I'm quite proud of the products though the crusts were a little burnt, but my friends loved it! Finally something that's homemade turns out to be nice! Nevertheless, there's bound to be room for improvement.

Ok time to study now. Haven't been taking any form of tests nor exams for the past three years, feels weird to be studying again. Hmm..

P.S. I'm worried sick for boyfriend, can't wait to see him again when he books out!

It's been a long time since I've blog about my life. Sad to say, nobody really visits my blog. So anyway for a few souls are there, I'm back to blogging for my English homework haha. There may be all posts about baking, baked products and yes, more baking stuffs, haa see how my life goes.

In 5 days time, boyfriend's gonna leave for Tekong Tekan Training. 2 weeks without him! :(

Because of NS (curse it!!), I've been acting strangely the past 1 month, he felt it too haha it was a weird moment for us. I've learnt to be more independent and understanding to be able to sustain a mature relationship as time goes by. Time isn't a factor, it's how strong the love is, I always remind myself this.

Oh well time to sleep. Good night world.
