Wanda SG Stick to what we're taught in home econs class vanilla essence....cheap. Sometimes I would open a small gap of the boxes of herbs in CS or carrefour and smell them....for self education.
elindra SG My home econs cooking are usually all local dishes Learnt the other dishes on my own Plus I remembered I hated my home econs teacher so I never paid attention in class
Wanda SG You never learnt to make rock buns in home econs meh? Thot that was the de facto baking item and uses vanilla essence...which was also used in other baked items. My teacher Ms Ong was very sweet and well-dressed, and she seemed to like me coz she gave me an extra custard tart which she'd made herself (the whole class only used jam on the tarts). But I didn't like the housework and sewing part by other teachers. The things they made us sew all cannot be worn one.
elindra SG No leh. Was some cakes and stuff but I didn't bother remembering coz I didn't think the recipe was that fantastic. Actually I have yet to cook anything I learnt from home e Sewing class I can't sew....my SO always complains if I even took home e before coz he sews better than me They make you sew ugly things that I think aunties won't even wear
Wanda SG Those sewing class don't really teach us to sew lah...it's not as if we can even sew a pair of shorts! Maybe sew square or rectangular items like hanky only...but then who uses hanky now? In my class, we even had those manual sewing machines which req you to use your right hand to turn a lever round and round in order to propel the wheel to work the machine, leaving only your left hand to hold the fabric. It was a culture shock to me coz my aunts are dressmakers and both were already using electric sewing machines.
elindra SG Err mine was more complicated leh. We have to sew things like baby clothes etc I couldn't do it and in the end my mum ended up doing my homework assignment *coughs* My hubby uses a hanky Yeah we had to use the manual sewing machines as well. *Sigh*
Wanda SG If you're referring to the electric sewing machines, it's like what we have nowadays - using one foot to step on a brick-sized box, like stepping on the car accelerator. The pedal ones use manual power.
choco B SG Yeah I was wondering if you used the manual pedal ones in class. Looks like you did! Wow those are relics.
elindra SG Haha *starts to wonder why is she in Club 30* It's not my age It's not my waistline erhmmm maybe coz bustline past 30
