Balloting Exercise July - Jurong West

[rdnest]

hahaha.. xesthir, me old liao lah, where to find energy like you youngsters. we just try to maximise each day with the most things we can accomplish. else more things will overflow to another day to do

Though mostly homely relationship-upkeep stuffs, like bring kids out, visit in-laws/parents, meet up friends, these are things we cannot ignore. bo bian lor, just let go some resting time lah

Just to share, me found my micky mouse cookie cutter at Taka B1 selling at $ 8.90. Me got rip off Liao

so me buy more other patterns: chip & Dale, pooh & tigger, Disney cat. At last it made me feel better. Hahaha

Hello neighbours! I long time no drop by liao. How's everyone? Haha..still in baking! That's great! I just tried a new recipe last weekend. Tried making eclair...the puffs turned out quite well but the filling a bit too chocolatey. Will try again next time but quite messy to make. Haha...

21 Nov is my sister's wedding. I can't make it. How about the following week? There's Hari Raya on Fri! Yay! Long weekend.

Oh...btw, does anyone know where to get cheap Legrand switches? My sis renovating her house now and sourcing for it. Otherwise she's considering of getting from Malaysia.
