yaayy!! got an oven... finally!! a workable oven.... God has answered my prayers of a few years haha... hmmm.... my stupid existing oven (passed down from the previous owner of the house)... so does not work... always kana trip each time we try to use.... then whole house blackout... then Pa and Ma have been saying for a thousand yrs that they 'intend' to buy a new oven.... but since yrs ago it's always been... an intention... and only there... haha... then rite, today, out of the blue, all of a sudden 'er yi ma' (mummy's 2nd sis) just called up to tell us she wanna give us her oven cuz she got no use for it and she bought another one already.... my goodness... to cut a longer story short, in the evening 'wu yi' (5th sister) and her husband deliver it to our place... and her husband fixed all the plugs and what not for us... Praise God for him... or no one in my family would noe how to do it... typical engineer quality... i watched in awe... haha.... and............ YAaY!!! I finally have an oven.... and rite, we discovered that er yi ma had never used it before... cuz it was too big or sthg and she never knew where to put it and use it... now, wat kinda excuse is that? haha... well anw, now i can relive the times when i used to bake stuff during secondary sch... using my toaster oven then (which is spoilt now)... yea... those were the days... me and Clifton would just buy all the ingredients and stay in the kitchen the whole day and make the pastries... then cuz it was only a toaster, i remember we had to put the dough in the oven over and over again till it was cooked.... haha... and there was always the fear that the toaster will over exhaust itself cuz really, baking is NOT part of the functions of a toaster oven... (hehe once we saw smoke coming outta it and we got so paranoid that we stopped doing anything with it for quite a while haha)... hmmm yea haha i remember baking cookies with it once too... wow i remember i did it all by myself.... really, that was so really outta love for my teachers... it was gonna be teachers day... and like i just suddenly felt like trying to bake cookies... my first and only attempt so far... and it was, miraculously, a tremendous success.... and i maintain, it was completely outta love that i did it so successfully.... it was esp for Ms Yip who offered to pay for my grad nite ball cuz i couldn't afford it then... whoa.... :)
well anw, i never 'baked' anymore e'er since the toaster oven spoiled... *sigh.... but now! Yaay!!! haha i can bake all i want now!!! and not limit myself to just pastries and cookies... Cakes too now!!! God is reawi so good to me!!! Oh man, i feel like staying home to bake tmr... rather than go meet xh... hmmm... hahaha...
