Hey there, wassup?

I know you've been dying to know how I've been. Well, one year in the UK and still no job. So what have I been doing?

I've been gardening, blogging and baking. I have just realized cooking and baking is in my blood. It's rooted in me. My father was a gourmet. He was the best chef in town. Well, he wasn't really a chef as it wasn't his job at all. But everybody knew that he was a great cook. Well, he was good at anything--carpentry, cooking, smoking and drinking most especially. He really excelled in doing that.

On the other side of the coin, my mother was also good at baking and sometimes cooking. Well, she didn't really learn how to do them properly until my father died and she was forced to do the cooking at home. And when she sold her fruits and vegetable stand in the town market (which is very sayang!) she got herself into baking native cakes made of rice, ground rice, sticky rice and ground sticky rice.

Opps! sorry I'm starting to ramble again. What I was trying to point out was that I inherited both of my parents' cooking and baking skills. Since I'm the fusion of their great skills, I emerged better! :-P Because I also cook Italian foods, you see?
