summer-fruit tart

Yummm... deliciously fruit tart pie…oh, I just made up other name. Well, I’ve got the basic recipe from Coles Christmas catalogue. The pastry shell is ready made, I bought it from Wollies instead :P It’s very easy, just need to make the vanilla custard. After the custard cooling down, the fruit cocktails are ready to spread over the top. Then, as the finishing touch, glaze it with transparent jelly.

Since I've been doing nothing much over the holiday. So I start practicing my dessert cooking skills. Honestly, I have never really made any dessert. I think I am really bad at it. My expertise in cooking is in deep-frying and stir-frying -_-“ hehe. But it looks good, doesn’t it? It only took 20 minutes to make the custard, very easy. Message me if you want the recipe hehehe…Oh yea, I’ve got three of this tart, I am happy to share it. I don’t really like dessert, well not too much. I just enjoy to make them and see the presentation.

I had confession to make…

I have been pretending working hard to finish my portfolio, prepare my cover letter and CV. Nothing has been done until now, not even a Christmas greeting card for some selected design studio. I have spoiled my self too much after I finished my honours research. Although I had made promise to my self to finish my portfolio before the 20 December. Now, I don’t even think I can managed to finished at least 50% of it by that time. Ooohhh… T_T I’m so ashamed of myself…

It’s happening again, like last year… Now, at least I admitted that I wasn’t working hard enough. Still got few days left before my auntie and uncle came here on the 8th of December >_<. And yes, I am having end of the year money crisis again! Last year, I can’t even barely buy my fav body shower. Anyway, this year is better but the expenses are getting higher especially for next year. Cause I am moving out, can’t you imagine how much will cost for hiring the mini movers, new bond, new internet installment, new furniture, new TV, etc? Not to forget, last year, I was broke because of my portfolio printing cost. Now, I haven’t printed mine yet… OHHh Nooo 0_o Plus Christmas presents and my sis b’day is coming too.

I reached that point that I need to get any kind of job for money sake only T_T I had applied at few retails shop in the city shopping mall. No luck till now, still waiting for good news. Meanwhile, I found couple decent design job that definitely I will apply. But honestly, I’m not so sure if I can get the job, since I might just present my old portfolio last year. -__-“ it’s like I haven’t given my best, but yea I don’t have enough money to get my portfolio printed anyway. ARRgh… I really need the job since I really need to support my self next year. Yea, I guess I have to act like don’t bother… don’t care… there are still so many jobs out there. There is no time to be perfectionist.

About my honours, I finally get it through. The presentation went very well. I was nervous like going to die before the interview. But, I was even amaze on my self, I presented very well. I will always remember that moment just like walking through HELL. I have been through the worst, nothing need to be scared of like going to job interview. I have prepared all my work for many years and overall they are quite good! The final mark is not released yet, but I promise it will be good ;p

too much talk... I need to get some work done... wish me LUCK
