2nd August 2004

I started baking just right after graduating from my Diploma in Banking and Financial Services from Singapore Polytechnic. Taking two years off studying from then, had allowed me to work and travel alot. The only peace and comfort I had was with my baking. My Baby Belling oven, how I loved that beautiful piece of equipement. I would spend my nights till 4 a.m in the morning baking chocolate chip cookies, blueberry cakes, brownies and whatever my heart fancied or whatever my brother wanted to eat. Get up at 7 am and then go off to work till 9 pm. I was stressed and depressed and my only source of escape was through the beating of sugar, butter and eggs into submission. My friends call me the Baking Dominatrix, scary nickname huh?

Anyways, when the festive season came I baked goodies for my relatives. Friends of family were asking for the goodies, and that's how there's now a following for my Orgasmic Bites. That was in Singapore..

In Perth, and lo and behold we have an oven in our wing. Started baking a Devil's Food Cake and hadn't stopped ever since. But the all-time favourite with the residents are the chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Orgasmic Bites went big time last year at Spring Feast during Multi Cultural Week. We sold all the 20 trays of brownies: Mint, Malteser, Caramello, Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter during the Spring Feast.

This semester I had just met an order for Cook Wing for two trays of brownies, one mint slice and the other turtle. Made a bunch for the admin and student services and they loved it. I experimented making tiramisu after that. Quite a success I must say. Comments were heard this week were as such: "Did you actually make that?", "Gosh, you've got to start up a company making sweets!!", "Woman, that was orgasmic!".....

So now here I am contemplating on what to bake next....

Passionate about dancing, spend way too much time dancing, baking and surfing the net. Like others, I have my good and bad days. Globetrotting backpacker who sits at a side road cafe sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea watching the world go by as she writes poetry of what has happened to her. Motto whilst in college is to procrastinate and do my work at 4 am in the morning. Guess I'm only creative at this time. Baking fills my nights and early hours of the morning. Funnily enough I don't eat what I bake. I guess I'm just too exhausted to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I bake to knead the knots in my life. Beating butter, sugar and eggs into submission is relaxing. Been on the search for happiness, have yet to find it. Although, I have hypothesized that happiness is but a relative state that may be achieved through acceptance of current situation. To test this hypothesis, I will conduct an experiment with a localised test subject, i.e me. I tend to ramble on and on when I'm procrastinating from my assignments. I like to write in my journal and sing out loud at 3 am in the morning. I dance around in my room and fall asleep in the wee wee hours of the morning. I live on two to three hours of sleep and its amazing that I haven't collapse yet.Currently in my penultimate semester of my MBA. YAY!
