UTeM Mic-A-Thon X Friends

It been more than 1 month since i started my new semester . This is my 6th semester, another 2 more semesters to go, and perhaps Singapore?

Many things has been happening the past 1 month, just celebrated CNY and then off to Uni. Thank God for giving my parents the opportunity to travel to Korea for a 2 week vacation. where the weather is super cold while in Malaysia its super Hot. My mum has always wanted to travel abroad , and finally she got the chance to visit the country where she normally cry buckets while watching their drama. I wasn't able to join this time around but I am glad that they are back safely and they enjoyed everything over there.

This semester, I made the decision to apply and stay inside the University's hostel. As much as I didn't really want to stay inside, where I will miss the FUN life outside with my friends, and maybe just the freedom, I am glad I stay by my decision and stood by it. Got the 3rd floor, superd wifi, only 7 person in a 10 person house, got the side room with a windy window, God is Good. Room mate is an Ok person, didn't really talk to him much except for the normal daily greetings.

Recently went and supported my friend, Walter Wang in a singing competition called Mic-A-Thon, that was held in UTeM , he actually made it into finals, which was actually quiet surprising as I didn't know he could sing that well, like really good quality kind of singer, I always though he was just bullshitting and joking whenever he speaks about singing/music etc. Now I know. Actually there are other contestant that I went to support too, like Hown Ge and my direct Jen , glad that everyone enjoy this event.

Finally went to UTeM jogging forest after so long, the place is totally run down, before I left for Indonesia, the path was still ok, the workers do clean the place and ensure students will be able to jog and exercise, but no, now it looks so dirty, leaves and falling of the palm tree's fruit didn't make it better, oh well, just gonna job at the Stadium then.

I also went to support my classmates Christine and YS during their flashmob at The Alley , Melaka. It was just a random event held in collab with UTHM dancers and they decided to just do a simple flashmob, a lot of UTeM students actually came and support, almost all of the FKP chinese actually came for this. They dance to maybe like 5 songs in total? I enjoy the performances and glad that it didn't rain that day. 

I am thankful to God for sending talented people around me, and instances like this really makes me wonder how faith works , meeting the right bunch of people during this period of my life, I am so so grateful. When people ask me, do I get envy of my friends that get to go German, or how my friends are more talented than me , and how about the times when they just do better than you? Well, to tell the truth, there is surely just a little bit of discontent feeling, but nope, I can say 95% of he time, I am really happy, happy for them and happy for the chance and everything that I am able to experience myself.

I can never really understand back-stabbing among friends, like why do you need to be so engrossed at someone'e else achievement and do something so wrong, for the wrong reason. Be happy for others, support them and they might just be there to help you  to accomplish your dreams too. Don't try to make assumption on the things you do not understand.

That day, C actually wrote this : "Another 1 more year " on her Instagram , yes, how time passes, another 1 more year, we all will grad, we all will walk the path we pave , and for the opportunity to loan their 4 years time with me, I am blessed beyond words. 

Oh, and I was accepted to do my Internship in June at a company called Allied Foam in Balakong, Cheras! Hopefully it will be a good and fruitful Internship, positive vibes pls! Been thinking a lot about Surabaya lately, the delish carbonara, the cheap and tasty seafood combo at the dark alley way, the malls where I used to go to attend my church, the people and the friends I got to know over there. I rewatch my instagram stories about the trip to Malang and Bromo the other days, dem feels . I wish I could teleport myself and visit Rowo Terate , to my host's house just for another day.

Been hearing to 真的傻 Foolish Love , its the theme song from the movie 一吻定情 Fall in Love at First Kiss, go watch it if you haven't. It's romantic.

Till then,

Cheers.

Good Times DIY Baking & Lifestyle Cafeat @ Paradigm Mall

Tired of sending your kids to those usual indoor playground in the mall, watching them jumping up and down and run everywhere like crazy little cuter monster while your heart races and ready for every instance if she / he fell down and cry, and then you have to go and comfort and Sayang them?? 

And for adults, tired of going outdoor bonding and boring team building activities? Well , I have something excited to share to you guys!

Good Times DIY Baking & Lifestyle Cafe is the place to go! They have 3 branches to date, one at MyTOWN, Cheras , one at Sunday Pyramid and the one I went to is located at Paradigm Mall, PJ . 

Inspired from Taiwan 's baking teaching methods,every individual can produce their baking products by following the guidance in the tablet with own speed. - As quoted on their FB page

So what's this place about? It's the place where imagination, calculations and hands-on work is done. They actually provide different packages to accommodate everyone, with guide to guide steps on a tablet, with conclusive recipes, measuring value for each ingredient, time need for every portion to bake out a delicious cake, pie and many more! The steps are very easy to follow, and they have helpers on stand by to assist you if you need any help, all ingredients are already label and it's very easy.

I am sure kids will enjoy this very much, because it is like a mini cooking session for them to explore and this is a good lesson and good way to expose to kids about cooking and sorts. As for adults, what's more enriching then having your pals or office mate around you for a baking and fun session, in a quiet and fun mini cafe , to share some outdoor moments from office and de-stress maybe?

This Good Times DIY Baking & Lifestyle Cafe @ Paradigm Mall is actually not that big, I think at most it can fit 15 adult at one time? Just my rough estimation, I will link their FB page below, so if you're reading and interest to get more info on this, do PM their facebook for info, the manager in this outlet is super friendly.

I will be baking Strawberry Cheese Tart Today.  Basically, there are only 3 main parts that I have to do, first, make the dough for the pastry and bake them, second, make the cheese filling, and finally, cut fruit and decorate.

It is very simply to measure all the ingredients and they are listed on their own individual tupperware, just measure every ingredients according to the recipe and place them into the small bowls. Here is me with my Dough ingredients.

Then, bring your ingredients over to their mini mixer. They already have a stopwatch over there for your convenience. After this is done, it is time to chill the dough in the fridge.

Then, get ready to hold your sleeves up as you will be flattening your dough to fit the plate/pan ? Just insert the dough into their mini oven for baking after your are done.

Next, go and prepare the ingredients needed to make the cheese filling, and again measure using all the measuring tools provided and then go to the mixer again.

After that, it's the cutting of fruit, for me, its strawberry . Cut them into thin slices will do. Take the baked pastry out, let it cool down and then you can start spreading the cheese filling on it, gently. Strawberry next. Decorate and add a bit of icing sugar so give that " Like very nice like that " kind of feel.

Ok so all in all, difficulty was maybe 4/10 , it is so simply and easy to do, even for someone like me who never enters the kitchen to do any cooking except for frying egg and cooking instant maggi. Simply a very fun activities to do with your kids or colleague. It took maybe around one hour plus for me to complete everything. No one was there so I got the whole place to myself, and an assistance that is eager to help me as she has no other customers to tend to.

If I am not mistaken, they do cater for birthday events for kids, and this place is just so cool and relaxing, the blue colour wallpapers brings the place into a peaceful and calming mood.

Thanks Good Times DIY Baking & Lifestyle Cafe for having me today, it was fun and entertaining. Would definitely come back and try out other recipes soon.
