Maccha Chiffon Cake

I went on a baking course and made Maccha and Dainagon Mini Chiffon Cake (Green Tea and Red Bean Cake). The cake looked so perfect, and was so simple to make. It was delicious!

Karakuma - Part 4

There was a statue of a big buddha! I went inside but there wasn't much to see...




A cherry blossom tree... although most of it had fallen off, it was still quite pretty...

The girls dresses in Kimonos looked so beautiful...



Singapore!!

I went to Singapore to visit my friend Nadia, who also works at Deutsche... it was a fun 4 days partying... We went Dragon Boat racing, got very wet, sunburnt and loads of mosquito bites, apart from that I had a great time! I visited loads of shopping malls on Orchard Road... clothes were cheaper than Tokyo and they had things in my size!!
