Erm, I know a mother of 2 who does drumming- i thought that was awesome!!! :celebrate:

I wanted to take that up too.. but hubs said he jealous.
He got no time to do it. And he said why would i wanna
learn it anyway.. Well i thought it was better than
drumming his head. :rotflmao:

Drumming sure would beat stress out of ya.
By that i mean the real drums not the head.. :lol:

Carmee Lim, the ex-RGS principal took up drums after she retired, we're talking about 60+. I admired her enthusiasm...maybe one day, I will take up drums as well...

What we did is indicate a US postal address and buy the stored value card from amazon. And yah there are quite a lot of free books. But frankly speaking I find it too troublesome even to get started. If not for DH I would not have gotten it myself.

How about using vpost or borderlinx? The services are not very expensive and you will get your stuff shipped to you in about 2 weeks. I use them quite a bit... to buy swimming googles - much cheaper in US.

Is it a chiffon pandan cake? Being wanting to do that for ages - can share recipe? In the past, used to buy those pre-mixed chiffon cake mixtures (can't seem to find them now) and baking those were such a breeze! Now I do cupcakes, cookies, brownies and gingerbread man with my little ones. Most recently tried the Japanese-made toy that does macarons - yummy!

NTUC carries the Prima pre-mixes for chiffon pandan cake.

Sheng Siong also has them on their shelves.

Pre-mixes from Betty Crocker oso have. I recently
bought the pancake mix. But still haven't got to do it yet.

Pancake- I make my own batter these days.
Plain flour (with some oats thrown in), milk, eggs, vanilla essence and baking soda- all whisked til lumps disappear/ reduced and cooked accordingly!

Hi KS2me,

I do like to bake cookies with my girls as well. It is fun! I used to bake with my boy as well...

Yes we too..muffins, cookies and even pizzas but small ones. That is why Genius R us has business because some parents run this as birthday parties for their kids.
