Making of Pineapple tarts cum a mini family activity (1 ♥comments)

19 Jan 2008

Ah Hong Jie² and I called this day “Pineapple Tarts Day“. In the morning, Mummy and I went to Ah Hong Jie²’s house. We started to make pineapple tarts at around 12pm. While making the pineapple tarts, I took some photos so as to explain the steps of making pineapple tarts. But I didnt take photos for ALL the steps. So what you will be seeing is photos that I took yesterday and last year. By the way, I got this recipe from 厨房笔记.

Step 1, mix cubes of butter(250g), plain flour(340g), custard powder(20g) and salt(1/2 tsp) together in a mixing bowl.

Step 2, use finger tips and rub butter into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then add egg yolks (20g) and vanilla oil(1/4 tsp) to the mixing bowl.

Step 3, mix the ingredients into a dough.

Step 4, leave aside to rest for 20 mins before shaping. While waiting, you can make use of the time to divide the pineapple filling(10g) into small parts and form into small balls.

Step 5, Form small ball(10g) with the dough and fill a pineapple filling inside and seal up. Apply beaten egg yolk on the surface of the pineapple tarts.


Step 6, And It’s ready to send to the oven.


It was really a mass production of pineapple tarts. In total, we made 8 batches of pineapple tarts (approx 384 tarts). This time round, the making of pineapple tarts was enjoyable unlike last year when I got bored at the end of the 2nd batch. Halfway, I took a short break and sang karaoke. After that, joined back the baking crew.

Haha.. That’s a lot right? Some for our relatives. Some for our own consumption. Then had our dinner only at around 930pm.

A day I do not need to go to work. Thought of treating this day as a resting day. But there are still alot of things to do. Tidied up my room, changed the bedsheets etc. Then, went town for a haircut with mummy. I always go China town for my hair cut, and I really LOVE the goreng pisang(fried banana). I will never give it a miss whenever I come to People Park Centre. Then requested for a wild haircut. A haircut that is completely different from the current one. So, I had 2 layers of fringe. The inner fringe is shorter, covered by a longer fringe from the outside. Then, the hair dresser told me that she’s doing eye lash perming for $30. So, I tried it. After all this, it was already late. Reached home at around 1015pm without having dinner.

Back home, I still have to work -replying clients’ emails, setting up their accounts. Didnt really sleep good that night.

Woke up in the morning to go to work. I wish I can have all the time to sleep. Rest is essential for me. After work, went Watson with Ah Hong Jie² and bought eye lash curler, mascara and make-up remover. Back home, continued the same old routine. Check my hotmail, check my blog, check company’s email, set up client’s account, check forum.

Same old routine. Then had vegetarian lunch at TJPG market. Then, we went to Donut Donut to buy donuts. Then, went to the fruit juice stall. Last week I drank fruit juices that helps maintain good skin complexion. This week I had fruit juice that helps me to maintain good figure. WAHAHA

Same old routine. I can drop down dead at this point of time. But, i just hanged on till the end. Made overseas call for seek help on some software. After work, went to meet the brothers and sisters for bbq. Halfway during the bbq, it started to rain. We took out our umbrella and sheltered ourselves under the umbrella. Covered the food with paper plates. After some time, the rain stopped and we continued our barbeque. Then, we found out that we didnt covered the opened mashmallows. So some of the mashmallows were “soaked” in rain water. BBQ mashmallows. Initially, I wanted to go home at around 830pm because i still need to work the next day and going concert that evening. But ending up, I only managed to reached home at around 11pm. :dead tired: Then, continued to work, checked email, replied clients’ emails. Within a day, I received 21 new emails. :S

..A very memorable day..

Amazingly, I didnt take a day off from work to fetch Jay Chou from airport. Yeah.. He’s coming to Singapore for his world tour concert. Frankly speaking, I wasnt as excited as I was the past few years.

The craziest things I did for Jay
1. Met Jay-Chou.net friends at city link to make Initial D Banner and Placards. (18 June 2005)

2. Went airport and waited for Jay to arrive in Singapore. Then, took cab down to Shaw House and waited till the evening for the Gala Premiere (21 June 2005)

3. Went to his Secret movie Gala Premiere (30 July 2007).

Shall blog about his World Tour Concert 2008 in my next entry.

Two Jay Chou fans get maximum fine for trespassing (0 ♥comments)

For that, they were fined the maximum of $1,000 on Tuesday for entering a protected place.

After getting the boarding passes for their flight, they entered the departure hall where a notice states ‘No entry except for passengers with boarding passes and proceeding to their next destination’.

The two telemarketers did not proceed to board their flight, but instead went to meet a celebrity idol who was arriving the same day.

Although the statement of facts in court did not say who the idol was, it was known that Jay Chou flew in from Hong Kong that day for a two-day whirlwind trip to promote his directorial debut ‘Secret’.

The two were later detained by an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officer and the police were called.

Sin and Soh admitted that they had bought airline tickets to meet their celebrity idol at the departure hall.

Under the Protected Area and Protected Places Act, they could have been fined and jailed for up to two years each.
