finding anmitsu

korean strawberries have made a (rare) appearance at ntuc! these are much more like the japanese ones, so much cheaper, but still quite expensive. time for more desserts with strawberries and custard.

today i made my first withdrawal from my bank account =( this means i have finally drained the resources in my piggy bank, even with the input from chinese new year. anyhow, i have resolved to using only $300 for the next five months. don't tempt me with things to buy.

met jinquan to buy stuff for armour. hai i don't really want to go outfield, nor touch gun grease. went to borders in pursuit of the $10 harry potter book, but they were still selling at $20. browsed baking book after baking book. and then went to kino to look at more. i think nigella's nigella express will be a good book to use too.

now i plan to produce money to get rose levy beranbaum's bibles, richard bertinet's crust and dough, CIA's baking and pastry, an oven and a candy thermometer, and a piping bag.

i ended up having dinner everywhere at orchard, because i was trying to find the red bean pancake that sonya recommended. i think the stall is no longer there =( anyway, i ate donuts, unagi handroll, and had soya bean milk.
