About the Dean's message and cakes

Prof. Tan CH (the dean of NUS Law School for those who don't know), is such a kind and funny man .. Heh, wish there were more like him around!! He sent us this email:

Dear law students,

My apologies for this belated message as I was away. I want to wish all of you the very best in your exams. Don't get overly stressed as good grades, while helpful, are neither a necessary nor a sufficient measure for future success.

With best wishes,
Tan CH

And today!!! I baked a carrot cake *yummy* ... not so sweet. For those more health conscious, don't worry, I always reduce the amount of sugar and use olive oil if possible .. and the eggs are Chew's which are low in cholesterol. Guess it might not appeal to some who prefer things sweet, sweet and sweet (albeit some things are meant to be sweet, but not all). But works extremely fine for most I think .. Took me 3 hours of shopping for ingredients, putting them together, and getting the finished product!!!

**tada**

By the way, for cakes and desserts, CANELE has the BEST Strawberry shortcake and Le Royale ... It has since become slightly more commercialised after opening a 2nd branch @ Paragon. When the outlet @ Robertson Walk was the only one, there seriously weren't enough Strawberry shortcakes to go around. The first time I stepped in, just after noon, there weren't any left. :( But now i realise that they've seriously stepped up on the production ... after dropping by the branch @ Paragon yesterday at 8+, there were still a few of them left!!!! They're still so good and moist though ... :) Have to try them!!
