Bolu Kukus Pandan (Steamed Sponge Cake)

Happy Thursday, Friends!

This momma is finally jobless. Yay! My contract was finally done today. No more waking up at 2 am and be zombie at work. Phew. What a big relieve. I think I’m gonna take the whole April easy, before I am looking for a new job. Time to update my Hive, my YouTube, my social life 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I said to my husband he better step up and be my sugar daddy again, because I miss being a full time momma, where u have multiple things to do with no paycheck, but happy mind and soul….sure, sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wanna build my garden this year. I have been postponing it too long and with going to work always, no time to do anything at all. I have 216 cups with tiny plants since last month, ready to move to a real backyard garden, of veggies, flowers, and legumes. I can’t wait! – But yes, it was way too early to start planting, I know, however, Winter was so warm that I thought Spring would come early, like waaaay early, but nope. Even today, it snowed again, so my plants are stuck in their cups…pots…cups….those 🙉🙊🙈
