Birthday Celebration

My aunt said, "For children, it's add one year to their age on their birthday, for senior citizens, it's minus one year to our age. "

I do agree and yesterday, time took yet another year away from me. But I'm not viewing it so pessimistically, it just means that since our time is so limited, better spend our precious day wisely and eventfully.

Thanks my friends, for spending your precious time with me.

Bun Making

I attended a bread baking course by Valerie Ong last week and this morning, I want to put to practice what I have learnt.

The bread turned out looking very nice and taste wonderful too. The recipe uses the Yakone method which made the dough really soft.

I'm so happy that for my first try on my own, the buns turned out well.

Round vase

This is one of my end products from my 10 sessions coiling course at Sam Mui Kwang.

The round body is imperfect, you could see that it is not perfectly round. Like the crackle white glaze I had chosen. Like the Zen-ness.

Pizza

My first time making pizza from scratch.

I even made my own dough. It was quite easy to make but needs about 3 hours cos the dough need to expand for 2 hours.

It was quite successful and the taste was not bad, though I couldn't taste the ham.

Next time I'll make Hawaiian pizza with pineapple toppings. Kat even suggested hae bee hiam pizza.
