PTL!

PTL! Everything has been falling into place, Hubby's having an interview in BDO Raffles (a continental european audit firm) this Friday (for a good advisory role which he likes), HR people just got my Employment Pass sorted out, and I'll be starting work on Monday!! Although i wish i could get my dream job (i.e. working in BIG BIG firms like ERM, CH2M Hill, MWH or URS which happen to be situated in the CBD), i'm still thankful. Ya, eventhough i have to travel for as far as 2 hours, and the job isn't what i like doing most, i still thank God for every single thing. After all it's a pretty good job, with reasonable pay, working weekdays only starting from 9am. And the most important key is that, it's not easy to get jobs at this period of the year, because staffs normally wait till they receive their year end bonuses before resigning so there will be less openings etc. Not to mention, Environmental Engineering is a very small field in Singapore where jobs are limited (even the biggest multinational consulting firm here has only 20 staffs in their Sing office!) so, basically for me to find a job that i have been doing is not easy at all. In conclusion: a full time environmental engineering job in less than two weeks from the day i arrived Singapore is none other than a blessing from God! Amen!



Tried out the bakery tools and baked these blueberry cupcakes three days ago. Was supposed to be muffins, but they do not have a muffin mould or anything deep,so cupcakes were the result. Blueberries were on offer last week in 'i forgot where' for about $2.95 per pack, which of course, is so much cheaper than in KK!

I hope their looks didn't turn you off, haha, the blueberries burst during baking and as a result, they have these purplish linings around the cups. The children claim they were not sweet enough (is it becoz i'm too used to baking for elders and adults in BJ?), and the blueberries were on the sourish side. Agreed, i failed again, next time will not reduce sugar k?
