Felt so tired today - Perhaps because of the usual Monday blues and my habit of sleeping late on Sunday nights. Work was rather hectic today; maybe because I had to call each foodtaster to confirm their interest as well as tell them the client's address. There were about 8 of them, so imagine, I have to repeat the damn information 7 times. Argh!
Was angry with Boss because he knew I was in a rush to leave; I kept dogging him to start the weekly sales meeting, but he dragged the duration of it on purpose by discussing the details of some positions. What the fucking hell. What did I do to have such a childish boss who loves to eat into his staff's personal time? Despite angry, I cannot be bothered with him. For my sake of my ricebowl, I just have to close one eye. Let him torture me as much as he wants - I will try my best not to retaliate :P
Came home with an extremely tired soul. However, my spirits were lifted when Bro wanted to try his hands on baking. He bought a packet of cookie batter mix that cost 5 bucks. My god! Isn't it expensive. Imagine how much flour, eggs and sugar I can buy with 5 bucks! This Bro of mine is getting more and more extravagant. He doesn't know how difficult it is to earn money and how much suffering from humiliation and ridicule under a childish boss. Argh. Anyway, based on my secondary-school-home-economics hands-on knowledge, I helped him mix the cookie batter and mould them on the metal plate. As we own a toaster oven (not the real oven), it is not easier to bake crispy cookies due to the temperature difference. There is a chance that the cookies may turn out to be burnt on the outside, uncooked in the inside. So, it is important to keep adjusting the temperature.
Baking used to be my favourite after attending Home Economics lessons in Secondary School. It is therapeutic to crack the egg, add butter to the flour and mixing the batter. All steps are crucial in coming up with a nice and fragrant cookie or cake, any wrong step and all efforts are gone. I used to hone my baking skills by using my ex-boyfriends and sworn sister as guinea pigs. I tried chocolate chip muffins (My toaster over can never come up with a crispy cookie anyway) and substandard egg tarts. Those are in the past...Wonder how they could stand the burnt cookie (or better known as muffin) and substandard egg tart...: ) I no longer bake - It's too much work washing the oily plates, forks, spoons and bowls.
Then again, I don't mind baking if there is somebody who is willing to wash the oily cutlery : P
