my weekdays passed by as usual. Morning: rush to work, evening: come back from work and force myself to do some exercise, night: go for tuition class and after that, do some surfing on the net. and i'm done with my 24-hours-day.
my days during the weekends were great. i went out with ah meng on saturday morning, hoping to get some new clothes for Chinese new year. however, we dont even get to buy one. hmmphh..
then, i went to Church with Bunie and Clare, in the evening. luckily, we managed to join the Novena. ;D After Mass, we went to Fish & Co. for our dinner and had our girls' talk. haha. we talked toooo much until Clare got sore- throat.
fish&chips. one set for each of us.
Can you imagine how long we girls can talk? ;p we've not been seeing clare for almost 4 months (if i'm not mistaken la), that's why we need time to catch up with each other..
on Sunday morning, i tried to make some tarts, referring to a recipe book, which i got on Saturday. it was my first time.
the crust, before going in to the oven
previously, i will always get tarts from Joyce, whenever she baked (how bahagia i was in those days, hehe). She was my supplier for tarts and you must know, her tarts are EXCELLENT! but now, she had moved to Beijing and i have to make my own if i want to eat one. huhu~. ok, back to the tarts i made, they turn out not as expected, because the crust were over-baked. and they looked like chocolate-flavoured crust, where they are actually vanilla crust. Somehow, the taste was not too bad. C advised me, that i have to focus and must do it with open-hearted. Ben gave me 3 marks out of 10..that's only 30%?! if in exams, i've already failed. the reason is, because my filling is desiccated coconut (that's the easiest for a beginner) and he dont like coconut. dont u think, he's bias?? but, will still take his comments for improvement. for people who are not bias, like mom and kakak, they gave me 8 marks out of 10, each. so, in average, i got 63.33%, which is B-, and which is not too bad for a new baker, like me.. anyhow, i believe there's so much i can improve on.. =) and, surely, i will..
L-R: 1st batch and 2nd batch, next to each other. can u see the difference?
then, at night, i tried again to make another batch of tarts without repeating the same mistakes i did earlier on. people say, never say die before you try. so, i must try again =) and ta--daa~. i'm happy with the outcome. of course the 2nd batch are much better than the first one.
