With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I was able to vary the dynamics and the timbre when I was doing my project.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was when I was singing.

I felt very disappointed in myself after the end of this module as all my life, I liked music and enjoyed singing but when I got Adequate, I felt very sad because I tried my best to show my skills and improve. The grader told me that I should improve my singing skills and generally just my whole project and I felt disheartened by it. I really loved music, making music and singing but all of that went down the drain when I got Adequate which was not what my expectations were. I felt extremely depressed. In the end, my partner, Xiao Qi, gave me very valuable encouragement. She said that we are still in the process of learning and it's okay because as long as you enjoy it, you don't have to make anyone recognise you. She was actually the one who wrote the lyrics of the song which was coincidentally about not giving up. I realised that I don't have to prove anything to anyone and I can just do what I enjoy doing. I will improve my singing and continue making music. Another person was Cordelia who also comforted me and gave me a lot of encouragement.

See - The shape of my peanut looks like an actual peanut. I think the form is 3D as you can see the shadows of the cracks of the peanut. I think the scale is good as it is big and can have many details. I think the composition is good as the peanut is in the centre. However, I think we can improve on the texture as we did not really emphasise the lines of the peanut and the rough texture.
Think -  I think the peanut does not really bring out a lot of emotions as we did not really make use of the material to its full extent to give texture to the art piece. I think it is interesting as the cracks are very detailed instead of just zig-zag. The scale changes things as the largeness of the art piece determines large number of details. It reminds me of a heart due to its shape.
Wonder- The drawing could be transformed into a heart. I learnt to make my lines more prominent and to make use of different shades to create shadows and highlights. The studio habits used are Develop Craft, Engage & Persist, Observe, Reflect, Stretch & Explore

Second painting: This mark is a smear and it symbolises frustration or anger as it is messy and harsh.
Third Painting: For me, the painting is calming as it resembles the graceful waves of the sea. The granule texture gives it a childish and fresh feeling.
4th Painting: The painting reminds me of painful nostalgia as it resembles tears and it is fading like a memory. Furthermore, one of the material used was water which further brings in the idea of it being tears.

I used to think that it was very hard to find new ways to make your piece interesting and unique if the topic is the same.

Now I think that in order to make a piece interesting or unique, you can use different techniques such as dripping, splatting, splashing, etc. and you can use different ways to illustrate what you're trying to convey. For example, abstract, technical art, etc.

Hello, readers! Today,  Christa and I made a hard-boiled egg. We tried to make an onsen egg, like the ones you always see the Japanese people put in their ramen and when you cut it open, the yolks run. We boiled the egg for 6 minutes and peeled the shell. When I peeled it, it looked a bit ugly as I had accidentally made a lot of dents and scratches on it. I think it was because it was soft and delicate but I was not being too gentle with it. I learnt that in cooking, you have to be very cautious and careful because the food has to be handled gently in order for it to turn out aesthetically pleasing. Also, the yolks did not turn out as runny as I hoped they would. It did turn softer than normal hard-boiled yolks but it was not very runny. I think that we may have been a little off in our timing as we used a timer but we took too long to take the egg out from the hot water. I learnt that in cooking, you have to be very accurate and precise and be quick in your actions in order for the dish to turn out as you want it too.

I will try my best to do better next time, but for now, I leave you with a picture of my fugly egg (Christa's egg turned out a lot better though):

Today, I made cupcakes with Christa. The cupcake made by my teacher was healthier as it had less sugar and low fat butter. I liked both of them as it tasted similar to me but my cupcake was slightly more buttery and sweeter because of the added sugar and butter. We can put strawberry or kiwi or banana to make the cupcake healthier. We can also replace cream with yoghurt, replace white sugar with brown sugar.

I think what could I improve on my technique is making sure that everything is neat and organised such as scraping the cream to one side of the bowl using the scraper before putting it on the cupcake and I also could improve on cracking eggs because A LOT of shell got into the bowl when i cracked it and I had to scoop it out.

My cupcake:
- taste: sweet and buttery
- texture: dense and compact

Today, Christa and I made Mulberry Chicken Rice. I did the chicken and Christa did the rice and we did the soup together. It was a fun experience as it was my first time cooking meat and I enjoyed tenderising it with my fork. I learnt that poking through the chicken with a fork easily could help check if it was done and I did that for both the steamed chicken and the grilled chicken. One thing I could improve on however, was my plating at the end of cooking as my rice fell apart out of its mould as I did not pack it tightly together with a spoon. All in all, I really enjoyed eating the chicken rice because the recipe itself was sweet because of the mulberry and the plum and I was proud of what me and Christa had done together. I learnt that you have to be patient while waiting for the meat to be completed and while you do that, you can continue with the other parts of the dish such as the soup to manage the time well.

Today, we made Tuna Quiche and Peach Crumble. There are 4 types of crusts; short crust, flaky, choux, and puff. We did the short crust for both of the pastries and used the rubbing-in method. The rubbing-in method requires you to rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. It must be cold, semi-hard butter in order for it to resemble breadcrumbs. I liked the rubbing-in method as I enjoyed the feel of the breadcrumbs.

I think that an alternative ingredient for the quiche could be fruits for a healthier alternative and maybe turkey bacon because I do not particularly like tuna. Perhaps to make it even more healthier, i could put in more vegetables like spinach as vegetables are high in dietary fibres which reduces your blood cholesterol and thus, you have less risk of developing chronic illnesses. My grandmother also always says that vegetables can help you fight constipation. Another alternative to make the quiche healthy is to put in less cheese as it is high in calories, sodium and saturated fat. I also heard that cheese makes your skin oily and makes you have a lot of pimples so the next time I make this recipe, I will make sure that I put in less cheese. Nonetheless, the tuna quiche was nice even though i don't really like onion.

I enjoyed my peach crumble as it was sweet and I like sweet things. The rubbing-in method was an easy technique for me and it was very quick and easy. I think that this method does not really have high manipulation skills as it just requires rubbing. However, the results turned out great and I liked it a lot. I think this shows how in cooking, food can turn out yummy and tasty regardless of how quick and easy the recipe is as long as you follow the recipe correctly.

Today, I made lasagna with Christa. I made the white sauce for the lasagna.  For me, it was relatively easy to do as all I had to do was thicken up the sauce. I realised that once you feel it start to thicken as you steer, you immediately take it off the fire so as to ensure that it doesn't thicken too much. I think this shows that in cooking, you have to be quick in your actions and fast in order to not mess up the consistency of mixtures.

I really enjoyed the lasagna as it was full of flavour as there were so many layers to it. I realised that this dish has high manipulative skills as it requires a lot of steps like the white sauce, the meat sauce and the arrangement of layers. I think that I would want to make a lasagna with different sauces such as aglio olio sauce or carbonara sauce if I find a way of thickening them (maybe with corn starch and water?).

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I made a pinwheel pizza while Christa did brownies. The pizza was challenging as I had to learn a new skill for making bread called kneading. Kneading was using four fingers to push the dough into the centre. I enjoyed the satisfaction I got after I took off the cling wrap and saw the risen dough.

What was challenging was when I had to roll out the dough and it was challenging to spread out the dough into a thin layer using the rolling pin as it kept moving around. Through this, I have realised that you have to be patient in waiting for the dough to rise and in order for the texture to come out light and airy, and that when you can't do something like rolling out a thin layer, you have to persevere and be patient for the results to come out successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, Christa and I made bread! I made use of my kneading skill (four fingers to fold in) that I had learnt in the previous lesson. This time, I was not frustrated when rolling out the dough as I have learnt to be more patient and determined.

We learnt how to "style" the bread such as the braid, the rose, and the roll. I enjoyed finding different ways of "styling" my bread online and I enjoyed making my own ways to "style" the bread. However, the rose that I had made was too big and it baked into a big MESS. I now realised that I should have listened to instructions carefully and cut the rose into half. I think I did not cut it in half also because it was difficult to cut the dough as the dough was sticky. i now realised that I should have floured my knife in order for the dough to not stick to the knife. Another "style" that failed for me was my own where I put strawberry jam in the dough and covered it up. My idea was that once you bit into it, the taste of the sweet strawberry jam would EXPLODE into your mouth. However, this did not turn out as I expected as I think I put in too much strawberry jam and some EXPLODED out of the dough. The next time I make this, I will make sure that I put in less strawberry jam. Furthermore, as you can see in the picture below, my ball of strawberry jam-filled dough looks very plain and boring in comparison to the other bread as there is no decoration on the outside of it. The next time I make this, I will make sure that I add decorations on the outside of it like using chocolate and chocolate chips to turn it into a cute face! I now realised the importance of trial-and-error in order to make your own recipe or design taste better and look more visually appealing. I learnt that you always have to keep on trying and keeping on learning from your mistakes to get a better product.

# data[].attributes.body
In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative skills)

For the manipulative skills, as cupcakes do not have a lot of skill (only creaming method), I decided to also make a yoghurt frosting to go with it.
For changing the recipe to be healthier, I exchanged brown sugar with white sugar. Brown sugar is healthier as it has a higher mineral content as it has molasses. I also used greek yoghurt instead of normal yoghurt as it has double the protein, half the carbohydrates and half the sodium than normal yoghurt. It also has a more unique taste as it is more tangy.

Reflect on the practical test session

I felt that it went not as I expected as I faced many difficulties and challenges. I feel disappointed in myself as during normal cooking lessons, I am able to manage well. I think that this means that I have to be more self-directed and cannot only follow others' recipe as this is my cooking and I have to make something that is unique to me. However, I also feel that I have learnt a lot from this, including how to persevere and to never lose hope as in the end, the results were quite okay and I got 15/20.

Were you able to manage time?

I only managed to complete it to the last second due to many complications that I had to fix promptly.

Did you face difficulties?  How did you overcome them?

Yes, firstly, after I had put the cupcakes in the oven for a while, when I went to check on it, I realised that the mixture of the cupcake was overflowing. This might have been because I overfilled the cupcake tins and when it rose in the oven, it overflowed. I overcame it by deciding to leave the cupcakes in the oven and wait for it to fully cook before I cut around it to make the cupcake shape as if I scraped the overflowing mixture off then, I might have the chance of ruining the cupcakes and I would be wasting my time doing very tedious work. However, another difficulty that I faced was when my cupcake was baking unevenly. The top part of the cupcake was cooked (almost burnt even) but the bottom was undercooked and was still very batter-like and runny. To overcome this, I decided to wait for the cupcakes to fully bake and cut off the top burnt parts. For the presentation, as it would look ugly to expose the top part, I flipped the cupcake around and made the flat bottom side face up. Then, to make it look more vibrant, I spread the yoghurt sauce and let it overflow to one side of the cupcake to make it look artsy and I decorated it with fruits. I also drew an artsy line oon the plate that I had always seen cooks do in Masterchef Australia to make their plating look fancy.

How would you have done it differently?

I would have did more trials with the actual ingredients as in my trial that I did at home, I used white sugar instead of brown sugar as I did not want to spend money on the brown sugar. However, during the practical test, I realised that the brown sugar is very different in its texture than white sugar and thus, it could have affected the consistency of my mixture. The mixture turned out to be very thick and did not have the satisfying "plop" sound when I let a scoop of the mixture fall into the bowl. I think that I could have also switched the strawberry jam with strawberry powder as the mixture turned out more watery than expected. In my trial, it turned out just a little bit runny and so I thought it would be fine. I have now realised that I have to make sure that the consistency is perfect before baking it. For the presentation, I would have liked to put it in a cupcake tin as after all, it is cupcakes but I am also pleased with how the presentation looked like in the end. However, I would have swapped the white plate to a darker one in order for the yoghurt sauce artsy line to be seen on the plate.

Reflect on the food blogging process

I enjoyed the food blogging process as it allowed me to reflect on my cooking skills like the kneading, rolling, creaming and rubbing in method. I also enjoyed modifying recipes to make them healthier or tastier based on what I like. I feel that through this blogs, I have realised my mistakes and can learn to work on them. I have also learned what is my strengths and was able to choose the recipe that would maximise my skills, the marble cupcakes.

How useful were the nutritional tools?

I was focusing more on brown sugar is it had more minerals from its molasses content than white sugar.  I also chose greek yoghurt instead of regular yoghurt as it has double the protein, half the carbohydrates and half the sodium than regular yoghurt.

How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?

I think for me, the manipulative skills were quite hard as my egg curdled while I was mixing it in. I think that the strawberry jam had something to do with why the egg curdled as my egg only started separating from my mixture once I added the strawberry jam. During the creaming process, I was surprised and thrown off by the difference in texture when I added in the brown sugar and thus, I think that was why my plain (no strawberry mixture) turned out too thick and did not make the satisfying "plop" sound.

How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come up with your final creation?

It helped me evaluate my recipe based on the standard of product and the presentation. It taught me how I can replace some of the ingredients with healthier alternatives such as replacing cocoa powder with something healthier like strawberry jam/powder, using brown sugar instead of white sugar, using low-fat and unsalted butter.

What is your greatest achievement and greatest difficulty?

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest difficulty would be how all the small difficulties had almost made me lose hope and give up entirely. As I said in Blog #8, I faced many difficulties in all of the processes; when making the batter, when baking it, and when presenting it. By the end of it, I was about to cry because of the huge amount of stress and the disappointment that I felt in myself. However, I was able to pick myself back up and look for new ways to carry out those processes and overcome those difficulties. That, I would say, is my greatest achievement. When my cupcakes were baked unevenly, I waited for them to fully bake before cutting off the top burnt part to preserve its taste. When I realised that the top side was ugly, I flipped it over and decorated it with the yoghurt sauce and the fruits. I even tried to make it look artsy by drawing a line with the yoghurt sauce on the plate and making the yoghurt sauce overflow to one side of the cupcake. Reflecting back on it now, I realised that I can be happy if I turn my difficulties into opportunities to make my cooking more unique.
