I've been baking lots for CNY, and during my week home, but miss forgetful me forgot everything abt photo taking and blogging afterwards. :-(, there goes the images of my cakes, and CNY cookies made out from KK kitchen, all gone with the wind. Sigh, i hope Kimmie remembers to take pictures of them, especially her one and only 16th birthday cake, which was all thanks to God, quite a last minute but successful chocolate banana cake. I am stil very amateur when comes to cream layered cakes, i hardly make one infact, probably five a year?? So u can imagine me crossing my fingers everytime i'm faced with the commitment to sandwich a cake! (I will post as soon as i get hold of those pics)
I made some CNY cookies the week before i left SG, and here are some snaps of the gifts i sent out to my colleagues; nothing special, just some old pineapple tarts (tat r supposed to resemble tangarines, note the green leaves on top??) and peanut cookies. There were more, like doggies and cornflakes treats, but i din manage to take any pics of them before they were all gone (OPSs!).
Oh ya, hope it's not too late to wish everyone a blessed happy chinese New Year!!
OOoo, it has been a long time since i update this blog, have been busy peasy for the last couple of weeks..working, getting gifts, baking cookies, meeting with frens etc etc. Life has been pretty hectic and tiring, leaving the house as early as 7am for work only to return at more than 12 hours later. Late dinners lead to late bedtime and thus the final results, which are now showing on my face. Sigh.. :-( they told me this is real life, i couldn't agree more to tat, but to be more specific, isn't it more of like .... the SG life? ( Honestly, I haven't experienced this when working in KK before, eventhough work was piling up at Chemsains!) Poor Hubby has been working for nearly 12 hours daily, and just last nite, he ate his dinner at nearly 10pm (he brought back his cold dinner and it was with him the whole day!) , which i'm starting to worry especially after he claimed there is blood coming out from his nostril! I wish i have the extra long hours to boil nourishing soups/ herbal teas (liang cha) for him but unfortunately i couldn't even find time for myself! Am trying my best to make sure tat he eats healthy everyday: a good breakfast to start with such as sandwiches slabbed with good fibres, veges, and proteins and 5 portions of fruits and vegetables which shd be met during lunch and dinner. Like my MIL (hahaha), i wld question him for wat he eats everyday. I wld pack his dinner if he has access to microwaves (at clients') or when i know he has to work till XXX pm, make sure his bag is loaded with snacks (just in case he couldn't eat dinner till 'whoever knows' how late) and an extra bun/cake (apart from his morning breakfast) for his tea break. I guess tat's the reason he's not getting any thinner?? Every now and then, i wld feed him fruit salad consisting of at least 4 types of different coloured fruits/ vege, just to ensure he is loaded with the necessary antioxidants/ vitamins. Thank God, my hubby is not the kind of man who's embarassed of bringing homemade food from home, i know some who do and some who would bring but then give away to their colleagues so tat they can go out and have outside food. (Some even dump into the bin :-( ) . Just a note to you guys out there who do tat, do u know tat it's out of your wives' care and love tat she drags herself out of bed early to prepare and make those lovely food for u??
God has been gracious to us for the last weeks, many miracles have taken place, and a real testimony is soon to be shared! Yes, i can't reveal now exactly what it is, but sure God's moving mightily in our lives! :-)
