v-day pressie

valentine’s day is just few days away, so i asked alyssa if she wants to make some valentine’s day card since we just read a story about giving valentine’s day cards. i asked her again that who she wants to give the cards to, she said gong gong and po po. so we made 2 cards…

tiramisu cake

initially i don’t have plans to make a tiramisu cake but i need to clear the mascarpone cheese and cream cheese in my fridge so the only way to use up both at the same time is to bake a tiramisu cake.

but i want bake it such at alyssa also can eat. so i just bake a normal sponge cake and some cupcakes. the frosting was made with mascarpone and cream cheese mixed together. so i just frosted the cupcakes with this frosting and topped with choco powder. for the cake i sliced it into halves, i used some of the frosting for the filling and mixed it with the super thick nespresso ristretto espresso. frosted it up with the remaining frosting. there’s no recipe for this as all are estimation. but i think use of instant coffee powder (not the 3-in-1 kind) will be better than liquid coffee cos it will have more fragrance without turning it watery.

i still like using cream cheese frosting, easier to pipe and not so sweet.

new year’s eve

the first thing when she woke up on CNY was to do art and craft. luckily we always take it easy on the first day and not rushing out. so i decided that we do some dragon craft since it’s the dragon year.

first day in new school

alyssa started the new school year in her new school. she’s not longer with the montesorri school, i think i felt more sad than her to leave her old school. the teacher in her previous school is great.

this year she starting her N1 in Glory Kindergarten. i hope it’s a good move to change school. she will have more exposure to chinese language, have sports and outdoor activities, music and drama class. but i still think the montesorri school is still academic wise more ahead of this kindergarten. alyssa loves the playground in this school the most. :)

initially we supposed to spend the first week with her in school, but she seemed to be adapting quite well so we only spend 2 days with her. really hope she can adapt into her new school, new teachers and new classmates. after all, 90% of the kids in class were promoted from N2, thus they all knew the teachers and i’m afraid that she can’t blend in with the others.
