For Tar + Strawberries!

Supposed to be updating about Tar’s birthday but it is such a long post I think I’ll leave it until tomorrow. Desperately need some sleep now!

Tar had left this morning around 5am and he wasn’t coming back to Shanghai. :’( There goes one of the friends that I really really cherished.

Tar had been such a great friend. He never complain when Jiun Hui and I bullied him or making bad jokes about him. When we needed his help, we just need to call him and he would be there. If we had problems, we told him and he would be a good listener (even if he doesn’t know how to solve it). :) Besides, he often treat us free tasty meals when we had financial problems. We just need to say, “Tar, I have no money. I want to eat this one that one, treat me pls!” And he would just say, “OK!” LOL.

Now when I recalled all these, I realised I had been such a bad friend. :((((( I never listen to his problems (Though he doesn’t tell us his problems actually XD), seldom treat him back, and had always laugh at him. Sorry Tar. Please forgive me for being such an awful friend! I wonder if you are reading this, *maybe*. =DDD

Okay la.. Let you laugh me back la. I know I’m a narcissist and I always self-snap pictures AND I KNOW I ALWAYS BLOG! LOL!

 

All the best to you in your musical studies in New York! Remember to come visit us in Shanghai when you have holidays! :) I’ll always remember you and we all miss you!!! :))))

 

Pictures taken yesterday. TQ darling Miki for all these lovely strawberries! They are YUM! :)))) I already finished all of them now btw.

Took pics with them before eating! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Juicy red strawberries omg! :DDD

 

 

Good night peeps… :)

Amateurs in Baking! :D

Tar’s birthday was on 7th January, but he had to go to NingBo on that day, so we postponed the birthday celebration to 9th January! :)

It was like a week ago, when I asked Jiun Hui what present should we buy for him, and she suggested us to bake a cake for him! :D It sounded like a great idea coz it would be meaningful and at the same time we could learn how to bake! :DDD

Hui Ling said she wanted to join as well! :) So the 3 of us went to Patisserie the DIY Cake Shop around 1pm on 9th January 2011! :D

 

 

 

 

 

There were already a lot of ppl there, and the fragrance of the freshly baked cookies was overwhelming! We couldn’t wait to start! :) The teacher asked us to go wash our hands thoroughly with soup and then wear the Hello Kitty apron! :)

We chose to make the Strawberry Custard Cake which looked awfully pretty and yummy!

The class started. We were measuring the correct amount of milk! :)

 

 

 

 

Stirring it to prevent sticking!

 

 

 

Pics of us! :)

 

 

 

Took picture of the cake in making right beside us. Cute right? It was made by a pair of loving couple who was planning their 1-yr-old daughter’s birthday!

 

 

 

The wife kept on chiding her husband not to add irrelevant things onto the cake, and the husband kept on putting more and more stuff onto it! It was soooo funny! XD In this pic, the wife was trying to “repair” the nose which was pretty much “destroyed” by the husband. XD Looked at his satisfied face. XD

 

 

 

Our ingredients! STRAWBERRIES YAY! :DDDDD

 

 

 

Jiun Hui stirring the custard! We took turns stirring it, it was a tiring process, we need to keep stirring it until it cooled down! O.o!!! So our conclusion after learning how to bake:

Baking is ALL ABOUT STIRRING! :D

 

 

 

Here’s the whipped cream I “stirred”. XD

 

 

 

 

The custard was then put into the fridge and we had to wait for about 2 hours. Jiun Hui and I decided to make some cookies while waiting. Cookies baking charged RMB 70 for 2 persons! Not very expensive. :)))

Credits to Hui Ling for pictures!

 

 

 

 

We used these moulds to make awfully cute biscuits! :DDD

 

 

 

 

 

2 different flavours together! :))

 

 

 

 

 

And then we decided to make something for Tar and Jeremy as farewell presents! Coz they were leaving Shanghai right after this semester. :((

Since Tar told us he wanted a Steinway & Sons piano, we made one for him! LOL!!!!

 

 

 

 

And we were thinking what to make for Jeremy, and finally decided to make a cookie of his girlfriend’s face! TEEHEE! Coz he always tells us how much he loves her! XDD

 

 

 

 

And of coz not forgotten, I made some special cookies for the special someone! :DDDD *blushed*

 

 

 

I love you. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cookies we made! :DDDD

 

 

 

 

 

The pictures on the wall!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting for our cookies to be put in the oven!

 

 

 

 

 

When we finished making the cookies, it was time to get the cake out of the fridge! TAAAADANG! :D

The super pretty cake with strawberries at the side! WE MADE IT OURSELVES! :DDDDD Of coz pictures weren’t to be missed! XD

 

 

 

 

And now it’s time to decorate! :D We decided to write something for Tar on the cake. XD So…………

 

 

 

 

AHAHAHAHAHA! WE ARE MEANIES!

 

 

 

 

And the rest we had our pretty teacher took care of it. :) She helped us to decorate the cake!

 

 

 

 

 

THE END RESULT! :))) SO NICE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

AGAIN, pictures to prove that we really bake this cake ourselves! LOL. A lot of ppl just don’t believe us. =.=

 

 

 

 

Next post will be about Tar’s birthday party! :DDDD
