New Toy; New Term

This is my new 'toy'. I reckon the little toaster that has served us well for 5 years deserve a break as it has been more functional than what it's suppose to do. I'm quite excited at the thought of going back to baking, grilling and whatever it allows me to prepare... pizza, lagsane, grilled vegs, meats, and the list goes on. I remember the first time I picked up baking was during Home Economics in school. I must have baked at least 10 dozens of rock buns over a stretch of few weekends; So much that my Dad had to plead with me to stop. Also miss those days when Mom and cousins would gather at our place to bake pineapple tarts for CNY. So, an oven not only puts food on the table, it's also a platform for bonding moments.

School started this week. Have to let go of one group member as one of the project requires only 3-4 pax. The choice is clear for me that JA will be out, and I'm also thinking of T as well. This will mean go riddance the passenger and Mr. Sotong. But I'm undecided with Mr. Sotong so will have to kill some brain cells this weekend and have a good think about it. Sian ah!

Finally booked our weekend getaway next Sat and the designation is none other than BKK. I'm quite excited because we've booked ourselves into Shanghai Inn hotel. It's not your 5* hotel, rather, it's a boutique hotel located in Chinatown. I just love their concept after viewing their website for the first time. Hubby read thru the reviews and it has been good so far, so fingers crossed it will turn out well. Sawadee-kah!
