My Blood A-boilin Again

I was waiting for my minced pork noodles take-away from Ruyi, so I tapped-tapped on Tibby and checked my facebook account.

Insing news was about a girl who couldn't get into modelling and kicked her mom- blaming her for giving her the wrong name and giving birth at the wrong time (or whatever). Anyway, I was reading the comments, when I saw this comment 'well...singaporean'.

What the f*ck. What a super uncalled for racial remark. To begin with, what has race got to do with this issue? Secondly, if the picture is to be taken at face value, then you'd see that the facial features clearly isn't of a Singaporean. Even with the eyes blurred out, you could see the teeth, the chin etc.

Anyway, my point is, I am just so pissed with these stupid and ignorant people who comment just for the sake of commenting. If you can't say anything with any bit of sense, then shut up! Filipinos are already in bad light because of the hold-up incident, the nurse abuse incident, the noise level that Filipinos in groups create and various other reasons. So, we honestly don't need more of these things for Singaporeans or other nationalities to hate us.

I am becoming more Singaporean by the day. I love Singapore. And I hate each and every individual who stays here but doesn't show respect to the people (especially those who try to make fun of other languages by mimicking it. I ever went to Lucky Plaza, and this gay person who thought I'm Chinese but later realised that I'm a Filipino just because I spoke Tagalog ,started saying 'chong chang chi') [I swear, I will never buy turon from your measly stall again].. Anyway, I hate each individual who doesn't respect the Singapore culture and the surroundings.

Another story - There was once a caucasian who spit on the ground, I took a picture of him, and if I'm not wrong, I posted it here on my blog.. I wanted to tell him off, but then he was big and he was walking towards the opposite direction.

Anger vented out, now I'm feeling hungry again.

My 1st SG Baking Class

My perfect swiss roll. I'm so proud of it!

So even, so cute!

The lovely lines which would create the flakiness.

This smelled so good! - hazelnut thin cake, to be used for the layering.

The delicious 'scraps'.

No need to be perfect, it's going to be flattened and smooshed anyway.

*The custard cream was prepared for us. So we just baked the hazelnut cake and did the layering. Our third wheel, the young and scared and by-the-books girl

Our batch of eggtarts

Taken out of the blast freezer for the final icing and decoration

Chocolate - not prepared by us as well.

Not pretty, but presentable (for me)

Cocoa crunch

I think I overdid it. Even my hand got covered with cocoa powder

Our eggtarts!

Can you spot the mini eggtart?

It's burnt! and lost its egg tart shape.

Into the box you go.

Lovely!

Lovely. Again.

The crust was a bit bland, maybe we should've used salted butter. You know, to have the salt (crust) and sweet (egg yolk filling) balance.

Yum yum. It was better after it's chilled in the ref overnight.

This was good, but a tad too sweet. One to two bites are okay, but afterwards, it becomes too jelat.

Almost everyone in the office liked the egg tart, but found the cake too sweet.

Burnt top, just the way I like it.

SGD42+ for the class. Inclusive of the ingredients, and the boxes for the take-away.

It's super worth it. I had fun! Although it was tiring. We were there from 7pm to almost 11:30pm. Ack.

It's 2-3 per group.

So it was me and my friend and a young girl (I assumed based on her actions, because she's too scared to make mistakes).

I weighed some sugar. The container on top of the weighing machine already weighed 50 grams , and we needed 50 grams of sugar. So I was putting sugar onto the container and waiting for it to reach 100 grams. She saw 100 grams and nearly freaked out. Hello, 100- 50 grams for the container = 50 grams of sugar. Sigh.

All in all, it balanced out in the end. She easily freaked out, but whenever we needed something, she'd raise her hand and look for the chef for answers.

Saturday Night Snacks

Reese's big cup from Candylicious. SGD2 per piece (expensive).

It's double the usual thickness.
But I didn't enjoy it much, because it's too much peanut for me.

Wasabi seaweeds. I love seaweeds! Though I'm leaning towards the nude unseasoned seaweeds.

Updated Memory Board

Pig is really so adorable! (Cadbury Buttons)

Funky Town

My new funky belt. 30 y/o and wearing a glossy red belt with jumping puma. But so what? I love it! Can't wait to wear it.

For someone who doesn't enjoy wearing belt, I sure have a lot of them.

and some more.. black, red, purple, brown, light brown, silver, black with studs, hipster, waist clincher..
