Salutation!

I am back, but there’s no saying that I might ‘disappear’ once in a while again. :P

Just a little update which is befitting since we are coming to the end of July and I’ve been away from the blog for almost a month.  I started on my new job about mid-way through July, and is busy adapting to the routine.  I was so fatigued in the first week I was in bed by 10 pm every night and slept through the better half of Saturday.  Well… the last time I had to go to bed at 10 pm was during my late primary/early secondary days when the curfew was imposed, and sleeping till the sun is about to set is a luxury I haven’t had in quite a while.

And did I mention I have signed up for some enrichment classes held every Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings (before I found the new job)?  Needless to say, I usually don’t start my week off on a very high note.  I hate the fact that I have to attend both classes on consecutive days, but thank goodness, both classes are also coming to an end in a week or so.  I shall have to consider more carefully when considering if I want to go on to the next stage.

And, the wrist is still bothering me.  I am finally getting worried.  According to the sinseh, if I don’t treat it properly, I will stop feeling the pain eventually BUT I will also end up with a much weakened wrist.  Now, this is something I cannot let happen.  Any hobby-baker can tell you how important it is that she has both hands available to carry heavy equipment and trays in/out of the oven.  Can you imagine if I’m left with one ‘workable’ wrist?  Think I’ll probably strain it in no time as well, resulting in two weakened wrists.

Thanks to everyone who left comments and sent emails asking after me.  As you can see, I’m well alive and kicking (although I haven’t had the energy to reply to everyone as yet). I promise I will try getting back to my once-or-twice-baking-a-week routine soon.  With more recipes to share as well, of course. 

You ladies take care too!

  4. yes, glad to know all is well with you! didnt know you’re so busy with work and enrichment classes. take good care ya, all the best in yr new job and may your wrist fully recover soon!!


  5. I hurt my wrist while doing pottery many years ago and it is true that if you don’t treat it well, it will become an old injury. If need to, I came to know this sinseh that is pretty good. Let me know if you want the address.

    Take care and glad to see you blogging again.


  6. Hi everyone, thanks for your concern. My wrist is much better now, but I think I need to visit the sinseh a few more time before it will be as good as new.

    Hi small cookie, could you give me the contact of your sinseh? Mine is so far away from home and they close at 6 on weekdays, which makes it impossible for me to visit it. I can only do so on Saturdays.
