Pineapple Tarts for CNY
Wow! CNY has arrived... To have biscuits is a must... I am proud to tell others that I am making some tarts myself.
This is the pineapple jam for the pineapple tarts. Imagine using a blender to blend four pineapples and cook the juice of them until they become like this... I heard it took some of the people hours doing so (I wonder their sweat mixed well with the jam?) I put the juice into a microwave oven for 2 hours 40 minutes, then cooked it on stove for about 15 minutes. Luckily it did not take me long at the stove... or else I dare anyone would eat my tarts.
These are the tarts which I am going to put into the oven. Bad shapes though, I am not good at art. Next time I should consider slicing my dough into equal sizes and weight, then use a mould to help me. This was the last batch to be put into the oven that day... I made 130 tarts on that day. Another 140 tarts before I got back to the campus.
Well, just to console myself: This is what we call hand-made products. No one blames you for making awful shape cookies, as long as they are edible. I am not following Six Sigma production. Not suitable to be a quality engineer. I think my GR&R (Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility) would be 60%. Don't mind about that... just try to relate what I have learnt in my lectures (maybe my lecturers would be happy listening to this)
Now you see why I said no one cares? They are put into cans... no one will notice the big difference... The trick is at the packaging... Perhaps I should opt for marketing... haha
Odd shapes make more prices... try ask your mothers... It is more original, I guess one of the reason.... Should I chop my mark on my biscuits? Maybe that will be more expensive... Odd makes it special? (That's why we call them home specialty, right?)

Sabah Trip December 2008
Period: 30 November 2008 - 5 December 2008
This life-jacket is too small for me. Can't they just give me a larger one? In the end, on the next trip, the guide gave me a larger one indeed...
On one of the islands of Taman Negara Tunku Abdul Rahman, Sabah.
This was what we ate for lunch on the island.
The Pine Resort, our lodging on the first day.
View of Pine Resort at night. There was one snake under one of the chalet.

Can you see my sun burn?
This one?
It is not apparent yet, I think. But I suffered a lot when skin started to peel off days after...
