I bake Pandan Chiffon Cake

If you have been my readers for many years, you may be thought that you read the tittle wrongly. No...Your eyes are not playing with you. I really bake, since Der asked me to bake. Der said he likes to eat what I bake.

It is not difficult to bake. I did try for 4 times to get the batter and egg white blend equally. The key of baking this cake successfully is on how to fold the egg white into batter. I don't know how to fold egg white after I watched this video. It's very informative. Thanks for the person who sharing this video. Also, thanks to XL to share how to bake this cake.

Updates on Derick

It has been a while since my last post about Derick. The below is his latest Chinese writing. He can write his own Chinese name neater than last year.







Recently, I set up a timetable for him. He is such a nice boy. He follows the timetable accordingly. There is a valid reason why I set a timetable for him. A few weeks ago, while I accompanied him in one of his Junior Music Course ("JMC") lessons, I realised that he was lack of practice on his keyboard. While everybody can play without major errors, he still try to find where is the key 'la' or 'ti'. I was so mad and scolded him until his tears started dropping. Nevertheless, I still persuade him to hold his tears. (I will be quite shy if he cries during the lesson). On the next day, I set up a roster for him. After he follows the timetable for a week, he become a different person. He can play the keyboard very well and when I am home, he has finished all his homework.
