eggy goodness
got bored of lazing around studying so headed to the kitchen to whip up some egg tarts. learnt a lot from the seemingly simple and mundane process.
got the recipe from here: http://wordsandcake.blogspot.hk/2013/02/an-ode-to-egg-tart.html and the little golden babies were surprisingly easy to make.
while pressing the tart dough into the molds, many many thoughts flooded my mind. there weren't two tart molds that were filled the same way. though they all looked the same on the outside, the insides were definitely different because... i couldn't get the same consistency even if i tried really really hard. to me, i saw life reflected in those molds. we try our best to fit into a certain mold that we think is the definition of success for us, but no matter how you try and press yourself into a mold, each person's life is different. there is no basis for comparison.
so i will rejoice with those who are happy, those who have found happiness in certain areas, perhaps their careers, perhaps in relationships, perhaps in traveling. this is a reminder to myself: not to covet what others have, and not to apply other people's standards on myself.
so TA-DA! here are my precious eggy babies!
