~Alamak... I think should change my nick to Blur Angel.... I always seem to miss posts....~ Hahaha, thanks thanks. Still learning and experimenting lar. Haha, I prefer to have different equpt to do different stuff. If the rice cooker can bake cake, then buy oven for wat? Rice cooker should do just that - cook rice. Hee, thanks for the thought. But it'll be better not to trouble yourself. Cuz I told tulips that I'm not able to shift my frens gathering to another date. If mine ends early, I'll pop by her place. If not, I'll have to give it a miss leow.

where?

Hehe, true true. I think personality can be injected into a place with decor/art and other removable stuff. So there's no need to spend a large amt of $$ to reno a place. Nice pics, with the mood lightings.

Yah, it's easier for the water to flow to the drainage area if u use 30x30. But since I dun flood my kitchen, I chose 30x60 tiles for my kitchen floor tiles.

Hahaha! I've nvr known that got a min one leh. Then wen u cook, u'll normally just eat the dishes and very little rice? Nice nice. Wanted to do all mosaics for my mbr shower too, but the cost was too much. Now see urs very envy. Btw, did I tell u that ur white tiles are wat I have for my kitchen?

Hmm.. I didn't engage an ID. Just had a contractor as we knew what we wanted. Hard to sae how much it will cost to reno EM, can range fr $30k - $70k or even higher, depending on the stuff that u do and choose.

Congrates on ur new house! Hee, think it's good not to rush, as most people will be rushing their reno to shift in b4 cny. Then IDs and contractors may do a rush job.

Congrates on ur new home and hope u have a smooth reno journey.

Congrates on ur new home! Hee, hope tat after that little hiccup, there'll be no more hiccups.

Wah, guess u r going to be very tired after that! My shoulders were aching by the time I finished mine. Wah, the stuff looks great. U must be very xin fu to be able to enjoy such nice goodies.

I also use Bake King. There's another vanilla extract that I tried fr Cold Storage that's rather X but very good. Can't rem the name. Let u know wen I rem/find out.

Dun tink her rice cooker is that small bah, since she tried cooking 5cups of rice b4.

Hehehehe.. Maybe 3/4 cup of rice is too little, that's why this method didn't work well. That's wat I do wen my rice is alittle too wet. Let me know if it works for u ya?

I normally eat abt 1/2 bowl of rice and my hb abt 1.5bowl of rice. So I'll use abt 1 1/3 cup each time. Shake the rice to make it settle down after washing and adding water. Put ur palm flat on the rice. The water should submerge ur hand until ur middle knuckles. After cooking, if it's alittle too wet for ur liking, scrape the rice with a fork to encourage evaporation and keep the lid open for awhile. The water will evaporate and rice will become slightly less wet. Hope it helps.

Welcome! Wah, my previous owner's kitchen is almost an exact replica of your before-reno kitchen! hahaha.. looks like our previous owners have the same taste.

I used royal icing (a recipe that didn't raw egg whites). U can actually goggle royal icing and lots of diff recipes will come out. Just pick the one u prefer. I tink normal icing should be those that pple use to frost cakes bah. Not too sure abt the many different types of icing still. I may not be able to go leh. I'm trying to shift my frens' gathering fr sun to sat, but there's afew that may not be able to meet on sat. Still trying and waiting for all response fr my frens.

Well, I would say there's many different types of icing. Take a look at the webbies below for more info: http://www.cake-decorating-corner.com/icing-recipes.html http://www.baking911.com/decorating/icing_...rosting%20Types I didn't use egg whites in my icing. Just icing sugar, corn syrup, milk, flavouring & colouring. Yah, most pple would be rushing to bake stuff for this wk's festive season. Maybe u can use a cookie as the base and use royal icing. It'll harden and u can use it for ur dad's cake (it's still for ur dad rite?).

babymushy.. If u r reading this, pls clear ur mailbox. It's full and I cant reply ur PM.

... It seems easier if u tell mi wat u like. Hee, thanks! All of the decor for the sugar cookies are royal icing, and yes, they will harden.

Somehow missed this pic yesterdae. Hehehe, ur house really kim kim with the addition of the gold tapes. Nice nice.

Hehe, I like the mickey mouse yellow walls! The curve walls ook very interesting.

Hahahah~ Okok. Hee, I'll sae new is good in art. Painting and cooking are considered arts.

Very nice!

Haha, chim man. Like that it's cupcakes/muffins agn liao loh. Or a loaf of bread. wahahhaa.. I gg to try to do chiffon cake after the new yr. If nice, I'll do tat for u.

Haha! Ask her to go interview Albert regarding maid abuse! 4 more?! Better tell Beth to bath in a bathing suit or wat.. And always lock the door wen slp..
