"Hat-trick"
Sunday, July 09, 2006

This is what gonna happen anually on a particular day of July. The celebration of 3 BITHDAYS in my family - my younger sis, aunt and cousin. And this year, the party was held in my house.


I seized this opportunity to experiment with some baking which i've always wanted to. Needless to say, i whipped up a STORM in the kitchen. Yes, I meant it LITERALLY!!! There's a storm!!! The whole kitchen is in a mess after 3hours of struggling. Chicken pie, pizza, fruit tart, brownie and creme brulee <-- all from scratch and i wonder how much flour i've used. *i agree that they don't look very appetizing. haha.but... I'm IN LOVE with BAKING. Then i was off to collect the 3 birthday cakes. Ranked according to popularity among the guests: "MACHA" (all-time-favourite from CANELE), COCOA NAPOLEON (THE PATISSIER) and LE ROYALE (CANELE).

My brother and i had our first times tryin to start the fire for the BBQ. We took about an hour before the charcoal catche a good flame and i can still feel my arms aching. We were perspiring so "unglam-ly" despite trying to look presentable as hosts earlier on.

The happiest of all in this party --> my sis! She invited neighbours and friends who are all GIRLS... haha.. The house was chaotic with screeching voices.. One of the mother of the kid asked," will there be magician coming later?" oh no, is there a need to be so extravagant? So my sis came up with her own games which seem pretty silly. For instance, walking around with a lantern at the wrong occasion. but well, they somehow enjoyed it.

Check out one of her gifts. Plain tee shirt and cup which she was supposed to personalized it herself. But my brother and i intend to 'design' for her. haha. fun! oh well, To my surprise, my sis is quite sensible. She offered to share her red packets (ang bao) and presents with us since we've helped in preparing for her party. ~well done!

p.s im so into baking. What's next? haha
