Christmas Merry

It is just another day.  My boy is not working and the B3 went out to meet his friends.  For me, I am reading novels.  English translation of Heroes are Born.  It is an engaging story.  So many characters and so many menpai or Martial Arts School.  I like the accupoint where you can stop a person from moving by pressing on certain point on the body.  

Mix in there is love story.  The female characters are beautiful and good in martial arts.  I wonder how.  Wenwu which means scholar and fighter in one.  Several characters excel in both poetry, art of war as well as skills in martial arts.  It is a combination that everyone dream about.

Loads of whatapps videos on Christmas.  It is pretty Christmassy.  I like it in Canada where the houses are decorated with lights and Christmas trees.  We will have presents and it was so fun.

Baking Test

WSQ requires testing at the end of the course.  We were required to make apple crumble tartlets and shortbeard.  Since my partner is a super hardworking and conscientious person, I let her do the heavy lifting.  I am just running here and there.  There is a theory section and the assessor was very helpful.

The test is to check basic understanding of baking pastries.  Now I know how to bake tarts and tartlets.  Make the egg custard filling and make a proper apple tart.  It is a good enrichment class.

Overall, I had fun in the class.

Dim Sum and Tarts

My wife convinces me to get out of my lazy daily routine and take dim sum and tarts cooking class.  I am enjoying the process of learning to cook tarts and dim sum. The dim sum class was on Sunday and the class was not so enjoyable as the instructor or rather the assistant instructor was horrible.
