Chocolate Peppermint Chips Muffins

Happy 2016!

2015 was gone in a flash. These were the highlights for me in 2015:
  • completed my first 10km marathon run in Hong Kong, 
  • my first holiday in Taipei with my colleague, 
  • worked part-time for a month to coach my children during June school holidays,
  • supervised two PSLE children & one GCE 'O' Level child,
  • rewarded my children with a California holiday
For 2016, I hope I can go for more holidays, and also spend more quality time with my children. As they moved on to secondary schools, their time spent at home will be lesser as school activities picked up. I hope this new year will be smooth-sailing and fruitful too!

For the last day of 2015, my colleagues organised a mini department breakfast party. As part of my contribution, I baked muffins.
