~~~

Ingredients change to:

1. sugar 4.5 tbsp
2. flour 2.5 tbsp
3. eggs 2 
4. milk 20 ml (coz not enough egg)

The centre still abit runny/goey. Next time should leave it longger (for this amount of ingredients) ~30 min. 

Cheesecake are done when the centre is  ~65 cel. Next time can use a termometre to check, or tooth pick to check if the centre still gooey. 

Anyhow, still yummy 😋 

Negotiation Made Simple by John Lowry

I have decided to start blogging again, to capture the key takeaways from my new wish; to read books. 

I realised it is end of November 2024 now. But who said new wish only for beginning of the year?

Hopefully I can carry this to 2025. 

Think of negotiation as baking a cake, not dividing a pie. Your goal is to create more value for everyone, not just grab the biggest slice for yourself.
