Chinese New Year Bakes

Chinese New Year Bakes

Well, since Chinese New Year is around the corner, instead of the usual pineapple tarts and almond cookies that I usually bake every year, I decided to bake something different for my family this year. Since it is the Year of the Pig, I have decided to make Piggy Butter Cookies and Orange Butter Cakes for them. Aren't they unique?

"LIVE" TV Interview at Ngee Ann Polytechnic

"LIVE" TV Interview at Ngee Ann Polytechnic



Haha! You must be thinking are you sure? "LIVE" TV interview... Okay, I was actually invited to be a special guest for a "LIVE" TV interview by a group of Ngee Ann Polytechnic Mass Communication students for their project. The idea of the whole project was to simulate what it would be like to do a MediaCorp equivalent of "MediaCorp ChannelNewsAsia Primetime Morning - LIVE". The only difference was that the whole take was recorded for their lecturer to view and assess them. I must say, though it may be working with students, the overall feel of the whole take is very real. Well, I love working with students, especially when they are those who are passionate about what they are doing. Just like me, I am passionate about baking and cooking and in general anything that is food-related. Similarly, they are passionate about how they can make a difference in the media industry. After all, they are the leaders of tomorrow. Special thanks to the following students for giving me this opportunity to be part of their project: Adiel, Evangeline, Gladys, Jazreen, Mei Yi & Andrew.
