A breather

I get asked by friends why I don't blog anymore. There are so many reasons, but I think the truth is I need a break. I miss baking like crazy but the oven where I'm living now doesn't work. Monitoring the house renovation and shopping for fittings and finishing take up a lot of my time, and I have even stopped my baking classes because I'm tired from running around. Doing a house is very challenging in KK. If I want something more fancy, I'd have to wait about 6 to 8 weeks for it to be shipped in from KL. Right now I'm totally stressed out searching for an oven that is at least triple glazed--or preferably quad--and has pyrolytic cleaning function but there's none here, and there are very few choices even in KL. Brands of ovens are very limited too. If you have a good triple or quad-glazed oven with quick and even heating and pyrolytic cleaning  function, please tell me!

After foreveerrrr, we've reached the stage where we just have to put in the flooring, which is dependent on the window glass being installed which is dependent on a very busy glass & aluminium guy who can't be rushed. Or contacted. I'm at the house everyday--I enjoy going through the process of building a house, but am beginning to hate making decisions--and I am living breathing house renovation, nothing else. Cross my fingers and toes, but I think the house should be ready by June. I'll have a 9 feet by 3.5 feet kitchen island then, and I'll be back with a vengeance. Promise.
