Before...

After!

Ive always wanted a "Scene" hairstyle but Ive always had this struggle of finding a GOOD hairstylist in Perth. Kazu, my hairstylist is my new muse! Extremely patient and professional. Now I know why people are raving about his talent...

Looks like I've disobeyed all of you... But thank you for your comments anyhow. I appreciate them all!

Help! Need comments urgently...

A or B? Please help!!!

I'll be having my hair cut tomorrow. Ever since my sis had her hair cut short, I was inspired to have mine cut too! After all we are twins arent we Sharon?

Thing is, I will miss fiddling and twirling my hair when Im bored. On the other hand, if I had short hair it'll be way easier to manage. Drop less hair, use less shampoo/conditioner, and save water too! Weighing up the pros and cons, its obvious that short hair is the way to go.

If I am keeping my hair long. I will go for a long Scene haircut.

So guys which hairstyle should I go for?

Hi YeeMah!

As per request! Happy Baking :)

Goodbye starry nights...

After hitting its driest autumns on record, Perth finally gets its fair of rain today. Correction, an ocean-sized share of rain!

Emergency alerts were sent out yesterday as storms and heavy rain blackouts 60 000 homes in Perth. Even worse, such dreadful weather conditions are set to continue through the week. After this stormy episode is over, it will start to get cold. And I mean teeth-clapping cold *shudders*

On to a "warmer" topic… I baked Condensed Milk Muffins last night!

Recall the White Rabbit creamy candies we used to eat when you were a kid?

Well these muffins tasted similar! Soft in texture, yummy, and best of all its made up of very basic ingredients! Great for morning or afternoon tea - serve with a cup of warm "korsong" (no sugar no milk) milo... yum.

Some very unglam p-jay photos of the baking process...

Getting the right portions are the key!

c'mon you can do it - rise!

Mad Rush!

Never had such a full-on weekend in ages. Waking up this morning was hard. Brekkie was a rush, makeup was just dab-and-go, walked into work basically looking like a total train wreck!


Tiring was the weekend but I had a good time! Woke up at 4am on Saturday to bake this birthday cake for my Aunt.


Coffee & Dark Chocolate Cake


The process...


It was hard work... took me about 3 hours to finish everything but it was worth it.


On a different note, I still miss Singapore very much. Yes I can make short and frequent trips back but deep down I know it will only make me feel more homesick after. I need more time to settle in Perth.

Baking in Progress...

My Aunt's birthday is this weekend and I am in-charge of baking a Birthday Cake for her. I am a novice baker… baking a full cake is going to be daunting... I wished I had my cousin Gail or Steph to help!

After goggling and flipping through hundreds of recipes. Only one caught my attention. Well realistically, it is the only one I think I am capable of making!

Green Weekend

Mum emailed me this afternoon. She shared two things that Ava did that brought the widest smile on my face…

Sorry no photos of Pickering Brook! We were too tired after visiting the temple in the morning. Tar pau-ed lunch at Spencer Village and ate at Kau Gong Kau Por's place :-)

Kau Gong Kau Por's veggie patch! Theres like a long stretch of these...

Chit chat...

I wonder whether Iggy will eat all of these in a day...

An Addiction so Hard to Kick!

Not sure what has gotten into me lately… I've been baking almost every night, if not other night. Despite a tiring day at work and all, I still have this ounce of "high" to indulge in baking! Its so addictive it's not funny... Hope I'm not possessed.

I see you all asking "wah bake so much, who will eat?" Well thanks to D and my fellow colleagues, they have been kind enough to "bong chan" my amateurish cakes and muffins. It is tiring but worth all the hard work. At the end of the day the joy of baking is seeing how much people enjoy them :)

Update!

Sorry I havent been updating much of late. Work is picking up hence stress is too. Well it’s a good kind of stress if you know what I mean. Helps keep me outta trouble!

Speaking of work, I am in search for a second job on top of my current full time job. Not that I am in dire need of extra cash, I just think it doesn’t hurt having a another job as long as it doesn’t affect my health… Guess I want to embrace my youth and push myself while my body still allows me to. I will be applying for an after-hours job. Something simple like Night Fill at the supermarkets…

Mum rang my mobile phone this afternoon. I was so damn happy I almost couldnt contain myself!!! Had to "ban" cool cos I was at work :-)

D's parents will be arriving tomorrow. We'll be heading down Pickering Brook this Sunday for their yearly Harvest Festival. Approxiately 50 minutes drive via Whelshpool Road... Will be heaps of fun, and photo taking! Will update again.
