Decorated Cupcakes

Date: 24 Aug 09

Venue: Korean BBQ, Ipoh Garden South

Event: Farewell for Karwai the goatie

The young working adults, EGH, had a little farewell dinner for Karwai as he would be going off to UK to pursue his Masters Degree. Meanwhile I took the opportunity to try out an improved version of buttercream…stiff enough for me to practice more on piping a better looking rose. Liyen was really happy playing with the colourful icing…simply lovely colours!

Realizing that it’s written “Buhbye Karwai” which creatively altered by our dear YWA to:

to… “BUBHEY” aka *piggie* in a rather indie slang…hahaha…they’re simply creative…funny! Btw, I was accused of having spelling problem -.-”.

Days before this i had an attempt trying out my magic piping tip: the star tip! using real butter cream and various colours…the swirls were really pretty…and I inserted a little choc button into the cupcake for  little surprise =P

Convocation 16 Aug 09

It’s really amazing Liyen can actually n finally graduated! At last I am officially a graduate with a Bachelor in Chem. Eng….*grin*. The convocation ceremony was a tiring one as it so happened that I was in the morning session while Ricky was in the noon session. I had to wake up at 5am n started our journey to UTP at 6am as we had to be at the academic block by 7am. We had to stay there until Ricky had finally ‘released’ from that boring ceremony,at 5.10 PM, minus the 10 seconds we got our scroll from the chancelor and pro-chansellor. Or did I mention who our Chansellor is? Well well…He’s non other than our dear Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohd. =P…Better not bored you to death listening to the whole process…

Bye Bye MortarBoard!

These few days had a lot of fun and was extremely meaningful having the opportunity to bring my friends and their family around. Most of all the whole convo thingy was so touching…seeing my family members coming to celebrate the big day, sending me gifts, flowers and messages and reminding me that I am always remembered and cared for! Suddenly felt a lil’ emo..Or at least I can feel my parents were kinda proud of me at that moment! huhu… Oh ya…let me take this opportunity to thank all who had present and who had sent their well wishes, thanx for my photographers, voon, laikuan and khinfoong, thanx to my dad who drove me around, thanx to my mum for that cutesy bouquet of bears, thanx to my sis, laikein and munyee for always being there, thanx to Aunty Oilee for that pretty lilies, Thanx to y uncles and aunties who sent their well wishes, thanx to my fellow friends who had supported me all along, thanx to all my lecturers especially Dr Muru, thanx for every single piece of advice and thanx for every bit of challenges that made me grow!!! and now i shall sleep! Nite~

Vanilla Bean CheeseCake

Am really proud of my vanilla bean cheesecake! Finally I found a way to actually use my vanilla beans, sent all the way from UK by my sis months ago. There are so precious and I just felt sorry to use them…silly me!

Vanilla Pod

Vanilla Pod – Two gone and four left!

Yups, as food shows always remind their audiences…”Do not throw the pod away after scraping out the gorgeous black seeds, keep them in a jar of sugar to make vanilla sugar”. Well, that’s what I did anyways! Hope in weeks I will have a nice jar of vanilla sugar!

Any other suggestion for the remaining pods? Creme brulee? more cheesecake? haha…
