Posted by: cmun in

21/07/08 9pm. Tomorrow will be a busy morning as I promised Soon Siang to conduct a preschooler baking lesson at Championkids Kindergarten and I can't wait to see the children's thrilled little faces. An excellent teaching opportunity to expound on the origins of their flour, sugar, eggs and butter ! ( No, Henry, flour is not talcum.... )

Tonight's experiment would hopefully guarantee an impressive attempt tomorrow.
