Friday already?

Phew, time flies! Seems like Mother's Day was just yesterday, and it's Friday already. Even me who is considerably the most free person in the world is amazed at how time passes by every day. Every night i would look back and think of the stuff i've done throughout the day. I would feel ashamed, because the answer is often baking. It's only a hobby, but it has become some sort of a daily routine. I would then shake my head and tell myself that i need to focus on something else instead. Or work harder on my Chinese. :-P

As evidenced in the below, I've spent most of this week on baking, again. Starting from our daily breakfast sweet buns of various fillings,

to the first attempt of Guang Su Bing

and more Baguettes

for some Bruschettas (my version).

Not forgeting also, my continuous practice on chinese flaky pastries which has definitely improved a lot:

I also learnt to make hua jian (steamed flower buns) from mom in law, and helped her wrapped some chinese bao zis for dinner.

The only difference this week was i managed to visit a big local market and got some of my favourite foods like asparagus (i heart heart heart asparagus very much!!)

more raw walnuts (very good for hair and brain),

a big Chinese yam, coz i was thinking of making yam buns/ cake,

and more lychees which i can never resist hehe...

Spotted a lot of loquats and got a few since i've not tried any before.

From today onwards, i have a new commitment:

'Upgrade the proficiency of my English which includes fluency in speaking, extensive vocabulary knowledge and usage, and improvement in my writing skill.'

Trust me, as you read this blog, my English seems to be getting to nowhere.
