The title actually perfectly expresses how i feel right at this moment. At the back of my mind I’m actually hearing a de de dum! as i actually type this out. Haha… to be frank, typing this first post actually feels weird, it feels as if the past 29 years are just a blur and only from this very instant with this single post does my life actually wink into existence out there in the world wide web. Hmm… food for thought…

Oh well… enough on that boring insight into my miniscule brain… and on to the hopefully more interesting stuff :p

Well, this blog to me is my first step in my journey on baking. Baking first caught my attention I guess when I was 5 and first tasted my mom’s home made Pandan Chiffon Cakes. I remember the rich aroma of pandan that filled the kitchen while it was being baked, and of course the wonderful taste and texture of the cake when I took my first bite. To this day, the Pandan Cake still remains a favourite of mine and brings back many fond memories every time I eat a piece. Unfortunately for me, my mom has since ceased baking the cake as she finds it a hassle, so I have to find satisfaction elsewhere.. sigh. Unfortunately I’ve never managed to find any that tasted as satisfying as the ones my mom used to make… I wonder why? 

I wish I could say that this first taste gave me an epiphany and launced my obsession into baking.. but I have to say that for the next 7 years, nothing much changed until my first home economic class where we were taught to make a simple sponge cake, and were told that we would need to bake and decorate it for a test at the end of the year. Then and only then was my imagination caught! Hahaha.. surprisingly when I recently caught up with an old classmate of mine, she actually remembered the cake that i had baked and decorated into a bear. Surprise, surprise.

Unfortunately, after secondary school, my baking actually took a backseat to my studies and later my career, and only very recently have I made the decision to quit my job and give myself some time to actively pursue my interests in baking. Will this obsession bring me anywhere? Well, I guess like everyone else, I do hope that I would be able to make money while doing something I enjoy. However, whether or not this will actually happen, I guess it’s up to fate

So what how do I hope to proceed from here, well…. I hope to document my baking journey by posting up pictures and updates on my baking creations.
