Autumn
I had both my Pastors coming down from Singapore for a short getaway, and I think they truly deserved it. It was amazing just to hang out with them, and catch up what Ron, John and I have missing out back home. Anyway, we took them out to eat, it was just a pig out session for all of us. I think we stuffed them a little too much with John and I getting hungry every 2-3hours. I blame the weather, period. We brought them to the Yarra Valley for a tour around the vineyards, tasted vintage,dry,and sweet wines. Yeah, I know I've been there many times, but seriously, I can never get bored looking at the beautiful scenary, getting away from the heavily polluted city and the ever rambling sounds from the tram tracks. I, too learnt something new each time I visit Yarra. It's fun being the tour guide for a change, and a navigator for once! John is the one always navigating to all these trips. So, this time, he said if I want to learn to get to hard to reach places, I should learn to guide the driver. haha, but thank God, my sense of direction have obviously improved over the year, or else we would probably spent our time driving around and not getting to vineyards. But also Ron was such a good driver, and he didn't yell at me when I said, 'ops, I think we past the turning' in so many instances. hehe.

Miss you guys, and see you all soon! And I'm attempting to make my first caramelised apple flan for dessert later, which I'll post up later! I'm getting into baking these months, and I'm seriously enjoying it big time! oh oh, I made a mini bread and pudding, and it turned out really nice, but a pity it wasn't that sweet enough! Well, practice makes perfect!
