Passion of Cooking (more like baking)

Well I haven’t been writing for almost 23 days now, bummer. But I am back with something different and hopefully fresh. Uni life has basically taken up all my time and so I’ve got zero ‘outing/self’ time. Sitting at home and facebook-ing aint gonna do me good, so I start something that I have been wanting to get back since forever, no it’s not partying.

My love for food started since I was in my mother’s womb. That’s the reason I’m all chubby everywhere. When I came to Adelaide, it was a whole new level of cooking skills. I learnt how to cook only when I attended home economics classes, reason being because it was just an easy subject to pass. So I made desserts such as pies, pastries and cakes. I found out tricks and the love of taste when every ingredient mattered. I also baked at home only to improve my baking skills as well as eat em’ all up. =)


Then after a year, I stopped. I went more musical, singing. And finally after 2 years, I’m back in the kitchen baby. Last week was Shai’s 23rd birthday. So I thought of doing something that would just stun her to the fullest. I made her a Ferrero Rocher cupcake. As you can see the picture below, im very satisfied with the outcome of it. Most of all, I love how Shai still don’t believe I was the one that made it (all alone). So I proud to say I’m back in the business baby =)



On Friday, I’m going to make butter cookies. Let’s see how it turns out.
ps-if there is something you want me to make (desserts) let me know in the comment box and il try it out..=D cheers

The week 1 in Uni

This week has passed really quickly, I wonder why? As most of you readers might know, this was my first week at uni, and man, uni life is ‘interesting’. So this is my diary for the week.

I basically have classes every day which is good in a way as it motivates me to wake up early. Just to get to uni, I would have to wake up 2 hours earlier so I could catch 2 busses to my destination. Luckily my dear sister, Shailaja, goes with me to uni as well. It makes it so much easier ,especially when she is in both of my lectures too(biology and chemistry).



The university is HUGE! And I really mean HUGE. Most of my lectures are on the mountain, which forces me to walk up the high slope every single day. In a way its good, cause if I don’t want to be late for lectures, I walk super-fast! Therefore uni is now my gym since every lecture I have is scattered everywhere.
I am only given 10 minutes to get to classes, and trust me if you have a class in south theatre 3 (up a slope) and your next class is at the medical centre (down the mountain) you basically die by the end of it, which is sadly what I am going through every morning. =)

For my other 2 subjects, animal behaviour and human physiology, I’m a loner. It doesn’t really bother me much cause lectures are only for 40 min or so and then you ciao. But I must mention, for my human physiology lectures, I just hope I don’t fall asleep in class because the lecture’s voice was as if it’s been swallowed by a whale or somewhat. Haha. Other than that, Fridays are boring. Its also cause shai goes to work and I only finish at 5pm. So there you go, Asha the loner.

Now I can’t believe how much I miss school life, the teachers reminding you about assignments due dates, recess time, teachers giving you detention, and mostly the friends and uni is like the total opposite. First week itself I have 5 assignments, which are all due next week! Super stress. It’s interesting though how it’s all done online and open book but the time period is just too short.
This also affects my work life. I think the only time I can work would be Saturdays. Not good! But well, I hope you readers did not gone through such a hectic week as I did. Ciao
