Janice's bake

Have not been posting for a very long time. Decided to start posting Janice's baking stuff from today onwards.

Flower ginger bread cookies.

Something I made recently.....

Found this Breakfast Cups Recipe in thebakingbiatch.blogspot.sg
Janice likes it very much... esp the egg yolk......

Made some bread today....1st try... looks ok.... Janice likes the crunchy part....

Pleasant Surprise!!

Prizes for 2011 was given out last Friday (29 June 2012).

Janice had been eagerly waiting to receive her 2nd in class position prize since last year. Finally the day came, but we had a pleasant surprise..... she was given 1st in class position prize. Wasn't it sweet.... Janice was very happy as this means there is more value to the Popular voucher, which she plans to use it to buy story books!!

Bravo Janice. Keep up the good work.

Finally, family photos taken.....

Princess's Achievement in 2012

On the 1st day of school, Janice came back and told me that her name is on the list of 2011 1st in Math and English in her P4-6 class.

Surprise.... surprise.... Never in my dream that she will be 1st in these 2 subjects, especially English(her weakest subject). Maybe I had underestimated her abilities.Or maybe she is just lucky. Anyway, I went to school today (for camp briefing) to take a shot of them to keep as remembrance. Don't think she will have another again... (not very well taken. Will try to get a better shot next time)

Korean Dinner In JB

We went to JB for some shopping and mani/pedi. Also had a wonderful dinner at the Korean restaurant.

另一个包包！

Too free, so decided to make another bag.

This book did not give any instructions, just the measurements. Using my previous "experience", I managed to complete it with just 1 day.What an improvement.....!!!! But sad to say, I am not very satisfied. Maybe its the cloth, do not feel good..... Might do some modification on it....

Next project is to finish making 2 blankets - for Janice & myself....

给Tong 的一个包包

Finally finished a bag for Tong, as promised.

Second time making this bag, I had a better understanding of the step provided in the instruction guide. With Janice's feedback, I decided to make this slightly bigger.... to put in more things.

一个包包给思琦

This morning managed to start on the bag I promised Janice.

This bag does not seems to be as satisfactory as the previous one. Maybe it's the cloth? Or the color combination? Don't know. Shall try another one next week, before I return the library book.

第一个包包！

This is the first bag I sewed. Took me almost five hours to finished it. Though it did not look "professionally done", I was really proud of myself. Had not had proper sewing training (except the home economics lesson in secondary school), but I still managed to complete it (with a satisfied smile). In fact I feel most credit should be given to the cloth. Its the texture of the cloth that makes it outstanding.

Still have not started on the blankets for Janice & myself. But I am still interested in sewing bags. Have another bag design in mind. Might try it out, maybe tomorrow...???

First project : Sewing a blanket

Since I am free, decided to sew a blanket for each of us.

Anthony had been instigating me to buy a sewing machine. Don't why. Anyway, he bought me one - cost about $200+. Initially I had sewn a pencil case for Janice using sewing machine borrowed from my mother. So this time round I tried my hand on tote bag, following closely the instructions on the book, and it was successful.

Getting bolder, I went to Spotlight to buy cloth - cost me $200. Means no matter what, die die also must sew the blankets. With no instructions to follow, it took my one week to figure out the "correct" way of getting all the pieces into place.

So, below is the 1st blanket done!!! 2 more to go.

Aunty Angie is coming.....

The long wait is almost coming to an end.... Janice's most favourite Aunty Angie is coming to town this Sunday.....

Kampong Glam

Janice and her classmates went to Kampong Glam after school. As usual, Janice volunteered me to go with the class. Being a "good" mummy, I of course gladly accepted the "offer". At the same time, it was a chance for me to know some of her classmates.

Comparing to Janice's last year class, I find that this class is better behaved than the previous class. This means that the lesson time will not be as disruptive, and that proper lessons can be conducted.

Interestingly, I found that I had never even set foot into Kampong Galm before, even though I had been to Beach Road so many times. This trip is really an eye opening for me.
