The thing about baking -- it brings people together, somehow, somewhere.

Chinese New Year is around the corner and this year, my family decided to start our own bakery for all the new year goodies in the house. Pilot testing of pineapple tarts, which didn't taste too bad I guess. I think it tastes decent and yummy okay.
The crust was soft and crumbly woohoo and the fillings were slightly soury -- should have added more sugar when making the paste inside. Yes, the paste inside is handmade too!(: I think my family should just open a bakery or something? Then I can quit school and work in my own shop. (Inserts proud face).
Going to work on almond cookies this coming week I guess!! Woohoo. Dingsbakery open shop lo~~

On a more personal note, (I know you won't really see this mummy and daddy because you guys ain't too tech savvy and I would probably be too shy to tell you both in your faces), but thanks so much for being here with me. For the past 20 years of my life and for the many more years to come, I do admit that I may have taken you both for granted sometimes, always giving bad attitudes, black faces, throwing tantrums even when I'm older and doing all sorts of things that had definitely broke your hearts one too many times. And when I need you both, you both are still there, stationary at the spot you're always at, with welcoming arms and soothing voices.
Thank you so so much for being here, for forgiving all the bad things I've ever done, all the mean things I've ever said and all the ridiculous tantrums that I always throw. Thank you so much for being so accepting of all my flaws and for reassuring me from time to time. And thank you so so much mummy and daddy, for being my parents, I cannot express how blessed I am to be your child. Yes, we may not be rich, but we are coping well with life. You both try to give me the best, satisfy my material desires and constant hunger for food, giving me a shelter filled with so so much love that nobody can replace.
I really really love you mummy and daddy. And I will always be thankful that I am your child(:
