Baking is fun! I read from an article in Women's magazine sometime back that the kneading and swirling hand movement can help to relieve stress. The energy exhausted in the process can also help to make up for the calories consumed for maybe a mini muffin? hehe...I'm not joking...especially when having to knead by hand or using a handheld mixer for more than 10 minutes...I can feel the 'heat' coming. So well, it is good that I don't own a kitchenAid mixer (*comforting myself* :P). I just love to see a clump of dough or a smooth creamy batter being magically transformed into delicious sweet things, filling the whole house with the homely warm aroma. It's really satisfying, especially when I see my little nephew enjoying my bakes...kids don't lie ok :) Have been reading several foodie blogs with good recipes and advices...would like to say thanks to those out there who had responded to my queries before and given me your valuable advices.
As I baked more and more, I felt I simply need an avenue where I can keep a record of all my tried and tested recipes, the verdicts and the hiccups along the way which had proven to be good learning experiences for me through every baking session... So here I am. :) I can now understand why people likes to blog. It's simply about sharing your passion and penning it down, be it about life...a hobby..food....
Hope this little journal of my adventures and *disasters* in the kitchen will accompany me as i bring my baking skills to greater heights, and allow me to find more inspirations in cooking which I'm still not good at. Hehe...
A glimpse of some of past bakes above....
They were all taken with my pathetic Nokia camera, so not very clear. But not bad lah...at least the flaws couldn't be seen..:P

wah liao. so obsessed with being skinny den don bake lah. mad. u think skinny is nice. sheesh. GET REAL LAH
Hi anonymous
Maybe you can say I want to be slim but definitely not SKINNY, and I have never said skinny is nice. I usually go for easy, healthier alternatives if possible for family and myself on a more frequent basis. As for baking, I know I love it and I know how to pamper myself. I do not think this is not being 'REAL'.
Anyway thaks for leaving your views and comment here.

Aimei,
You have a wonderful site. I am the anonymous person that recently tried your double soft bread recipe. Keep it up. And I will check out your site regularly.
My next baking project: spring onion buns.
Oh, I need to bake another loaf of the double soft bread again. It is all gone already. My daughter can stop eating it!
