Hey Hey Hey

As I've always said, what could I have done without the support and concern of my loyal blog readers? Teddy sounded quite worried when he sent me a 问候 email, paiseh friend, so sorry to have caused you unnecessary alarm. I asked him if the previous entry sounded bad, and he replied it was bad only because he had always known me as a cheery and happy-go-lucky person. And P immediately swung to action too, by jio-ing me out for some retail therapy and heart-to-heart chat. Wah, didn't know my GUTS pals are so 重感情 one...made me feel so touched. Thanks all (not forgetting Snowystars and Tesia)!!

As I mentioned to GUTS and Teddy, its not so much my job lah, which is causing me stress. Its THE BOSS who ain't making things easy. The job itself is challenging and gives me great job satisfaction. But THE BOSS has to be one who is so fussy, and likes to make last minute demands which are unclear and practically not possible to achieve. Makes you want to tear your hair out. I've had times where I can just have a conversation with him for 10 minutes, and I still have no idea what the hell he wants. And that's when I hesitate to ask him to repeat anymore, cos it'll probably make me look and sound really stupid.

But the project is sort of done with and over, so I'm back to my normal not-so-stressed self (yay!). And yes, I realised I really have to take up something I like again, so that there's some outlet for me to release any work tension. For the past weeks, I felt so down, that I gave up the chance to attend the Macarons workshop which I had signed up for (the one which caused 3 digit sum). I just didn't had the 心情 to go. Fortunately I had not paid anything yet, so it was ok. I realised I had not tried out a few of Valerie's recipes for the previous baking classes I attended, so I've decided that I shall try my hand at her butter cake recipe next Sat/Sun.

Andy is well and good now, though I had not asked him the reason for being admitted into hospital. He's back to his strict self and had put on even more demands on my practice, which is as usual lah. But the good news is that he will be going overseas for a week soon, so I'll have some breather soon. Haha.

P and Ah Mah requested that I bake something again for the July babies this year. The last time, I had prepared Strawberry Hearts, and I'm still not decided as to what I want to bake this year. Was thinking that instead of me making the decision, I shall open up a few options for GUTS and let you all vote for the final confectionery to enjoy for your birthday this year. Don't say I didn't give choice ok. I will announce the options in June, so look out for it hor. Hopefully I can get all GUTS members to vote lah, to get a fairer outcome. And I had better start to stock up my baking ingredients. Most had already expired.

Quite exciting hor. Heh heh. I'm quite looking forward to baking again. =)
