Had my 2nd week of tuition today! Haha Carina is a smart and sweet kid! She's studying in St. Theresa's, she's primary 5, she's smart and everything but when it comes to Chinese...Haha her Mum told me she hates/seldom speaks Chinese, so I did get her to speak Chinese for 1 whole hour today! Haha that's our first step towards improvement already! Haha I told her during the 1 hr of Chinese tuition, we'll play a game, so whoevers speaks English will be the loser, and if she speaks Chinese all through the 1 hr I'll give her a present next week! Hehe I didn't tell her what the present is! =p Okay I told her if she wanna sing S.H.E.'s songs (she's a S.H.E fanatic, she went for the recent concert lor!) then she must master the language first. Haha so far, she's taking the bait. =DI got her to write a 50-word composition about the concert, since she has difficulty writing chinese compos I gave her something that she'd like to write about during our 1st week of tuition, then gradually build up on it when she's more and more comfortable with writing. Haha hope it works, so far it does, cus' she's written 100 words instead of 50 and even has a proverb 'jin jin you wei' which we've just learnt last week! =DShe's so sweet, she gave me an exercise book to write my profile in, and after tuition she even brought me to see her dog, Shadow's (Shadow's a 2mth old Golden Retriever! VERY CUUUTEE!!!) friends (also dogs, a Chi Wa Wa and a Daschund) named JoJo and Jewel. Haha Her house is like a condo blended with semi-detached, the buildings are all semi-D style with condo facilities which I think is a pretty darn good concept, haha shall see if I can take photos of her neighborhood next week! And maybe get her and Shadow to take a pic with me too! ;)Weee~* Just finished 3 and 1/4 tins of pineapple tarts! Haha I think we're getting pro at this man. It's pretty fun! I was in charge of the pineapple topping, so all I had to do was to pluck out some pineapple paste and roll them into balls and then stuff it on top of the pastry. Haha ended up with sicky fingers though, cleanliness isn't the issue here, it's hygiene! To prevent us from dozing off, we had a hot cuppa coffee to keep us refreshed for MORE ong-lai tarts! =D
It isn't all about the Ong-Lai!
*Behind every yummy ong-lai tart, are many many dirty fingers =D*
The Art of Baking Ong-Lai Tarts~*Had a happy, happy day today! I love the fact that I'm working and earning extra bucks with my own two hands, literally, haha sense of satisfaction I guess~ =) OMG Have I caught the teaching bug? o.0!
