A New Milestone and New Chapter

The year 2015 is a time of big change and new milestone for me, both on a personal and work level. The latter also brought changes to what I have been doing on this blog, which I had not done any posting for the last 1.5 years!

A year ago, I gave myself a shot at doing a university degree, enrolling myself into varsity at the age of 42. It was a much deliberated, time consuming decision making and preparation process. In my younger days, I didn't pursue one as I couldn't afford it financially and my very limited academic ability has put a hold for me. But due to a career bottleneck, I decided it was worth the effort, and money to try. Well, to cut the story short, I quit the course 7 months later, in addition to quitting my job!

Through the whole compelling episode, what has been buried deep in my heart came to light, baking and sharing this skill and knowledge is still what I love doing best. The though of embarking this passion as a full time career has been a tug of war game  for me over the last 5 years, to go or not to go for it. I am glad I have taken the courage to finally embark on this, a new milestone and a new chapter.

For those of you who are not aware, I started Little Bake Shop back in 2009 while still during my culinary training. It is now officially known as Little Bakes & Crafts. After 6 months of preparations and working through countless nights (while sleeping in the days!), I am proud to have launched my website. I am very thankful and blessed to have understanding and supportive family members. And friends who have helped and given much encouragement, in one way or another. From here on, a whole lot more efforts will be needed to ensure my success. 加油!
