you are really selfish. all you did was to say "oh dear i cant find it anymore". surely you must have a copy of the recipe written it down? but you refused to help. you dont even bother to try helping.

sorry to say but there are some readers out there who think you're really selfish and unfriendly. i wouldnt believe it until i saw this myself. its alright then. sorry to bother you!

you're just rich and very free, with maids helping you. otherwise, i don't think you're able to bake everyday. so its really nothing to shout about.

Hi choo,

I really find your words louder than mine. By the way, when did I shout at anybody??

The recipes given in this recipe is out of my generosity and kindness. I don't owe anybody any recipes nor am I obliged to give one. I will fufill the request when I can do so.

I answered and helped those who desperately needed the advice.

I know you were looking for the cream puff recipe and i told you instantly that it's from Quick n Easy treats. If I'm that selfish, in the first place I wouldn't have told you. Even you, a young lady find it hard to search in Zu's blog until amrita , out of kindess, told us it's in the month of June.

Choo, I'm not young like you. I'm not IT savy and to do a search like this is hell for me. Those of know me, knows that I'm not IT savy and I also asked some of my good friends to do my blog for me.

Your words has hurt my feelings though but I also have a lot of mails telling me how generous I was with my recipes and how I passed my knowledge to others even though they are strangers to me. I still have those e-mails for your info.

Having a maid, oh...that's very common in Singapore. I only have one for your info. Most households have a maid in Singapore and I'm no exception. I just wonder who told you I'm rich?

You said I'm hostile and ppl have been telling you about me...can you show me the proof that I have been hostile to anyone in particular? Words cannot simply say unless you have concrete proof.

I gain nothing out of this blog. I wasted all my precious time everyday typing recipes into my blog and answering questions. I don't earn a single cent out of this blog...the only consolation for me is that I've made a lot of people happy because they succeed in their baking and the inspiration that I've passed on to them.

I could easily stop my blog here and no more recipes in future if I want to...relax and watch my favourite korean drama.

I would like you to proof what you have written and for your information I was searching the cream puff recipes for you and I even asked one of my good friend who is also a blogger what happened to the durian cream puff recipes. She's my proof to your accusation.

As for the German Black forest, I made that in year 2004...I can proof that because the date is on my photo. Can you imagine...how to find that recipe. You have been to my house but my recipes goes by thousands... To those who have been to my house, they are my living witness.

To end this, I feel that I have been very generous with my recipes and my knowledge and even sometimes my family will say that I'm too generous..but I always said "never mind, as long as they can bake a good cake for their family".

I would like to hear from you again choo and if possible please tell us your true identity.

Amrita said...

Oh man aunty...I didnt read this comment section till now

Choo, whoever you are, since you are so upfront and straight forward, just tell us your name!

Aunty Yochana is by far one of the kindest ladies I have come accross. She gains nothing by posting her recipes and she could very well just keep it a secret and open a big shop and have very good business.

But instead she has a kind heart and wants others to also succeed in baking and hence she shares the recipes with us. She is bombarded with requests but she still finds the time to fulfill every single one of them.

As to the cream puff recipe, if you cannot findit anymore, that just means the person did not put it under a link..can't you just search on google like I did?

You really should learn some manners....

Dear Yochana,

I am rather disturbed by the mail from Choo - I really think that the names calling are not called for. You are not obligated to share your recipes with anyone. You have been truly generous in sharing your recipes and knowledge. I have indeed enjoyed your blog (both the recipes and pictures). I wonder if Choo shares her recipes ???

Please do not let a few bad eggs spoilt what you have so generously created. Thank you. Joyce

Dear amrita and Joyce,

I'm truly blessed with a lot of loyal and good friends like both of you although I have not met Jocye.

Don't worry, I won't like such remarks deter me from being generous, though my feelings has been hurt. I have also been generous in giving my bakes to the children who needs them, so likewise I'm the same with my recipes and knowledge.

Joyce, you're right. I was about to ask choo whether she has ever shared her recipes nor her knowledge on baking.

Once again, thank you so much..

choo,

I think you owe Aunty Yochana an apology. If you have benefitted from those recipes on this blog and also answers given by Aunty Yochana on your queries, then the least you could do is to apologise and say "Sorry".

I fully agreed with Aunty Yochana that she don't owe anyone any recipes nor answer any questions on baking, she is not paid by anyone. She could have use her time doing what she enjoys most, bake and give to charity, watch her Korean drama and catch up on reading.

I know she put in a lot of effort in putting the pictures and recipes and answering questions posted and she even asked me whether can I find the durian filling recipe on Zu's blog. I tried searching but couldn't locate it. For your info, Aunty was nursing a bad flu that day, I even told her to sleep early and I'll search for her. Or she can search for it when she is feeling better.

I don't think her action warrants such harsh words.

Be gracious and apologise for such a rash action on your part, choo.

I was quite shocked when i read the comments made this person called Choo. I hope u dont take it to heart, Aunty Yochana. I was quite sad when bloggers like Lazygirl3r and Tazz in the Kitchen decided to quit blogging probably due to unkind remarks such as this. Ur blog is an inspiration to many ppl - to learn new recipes and also understand what went wrong. Ive always appreciated you and also the other food bloggers who generously share their recipes and also help answering questions. So, will take this opportunity to say " Thank You for opening such a wonderful blog!!" Dont be upset by silly remarks by ppl like Choo cos there are heaps more ppl who appreciate n love ur blog.

Hi incidental chef,

I was shocked myself to receive such uncalled for remarks.

I'm definitely saddened by this harsh treatment from choo and still recuperating. I was on the verge of giving up my blog but I try my best not to.

Some where telling me that if I give up, choo will be the happiest person because she actually did this to make me give up. I really don't know what my maid and my financial status has got to do with her. This is due to jealousy I guess..

No matter how busy I am, I'll always try to answer questions locally and overseas mails and msn too. Though they are strangers to me, I still help and explain till they get it.

I appreciate your kind words and hope we can carry on with our passion...

Dear Yochana,

No, we have not met. That was the first time I ever comment on any blog. Normally I keep a very passive role - just enjoying your blog and the very nice pictures and mouth watering recipes. However Choo's nasty comments really got to me. I believe nowadays society is such that people are out to grab whatever they can and get very abusive when they do not get their way. Indeed you are not obligated to anyone and it is nobody's business whether you have 10 or 20 maids or if you are rich or poor!! Joyce (Malaysian)

Joyce,

You hit the nail on the head.

Those words was what I felt too.

Thank you so much Joyce.

It seems like Choo does not have the courtesy or guts to apologize to you aunty. Like some said, do not let it affect you, as Choo will be benefitting from it. Take care

Hugbear said...

OMG, I didn't read about all these until now. Yochana, please don't be affected by some untrue and rude comments about you. I have known you in person and you are the most unselfish person I have come across. You share your recipes freely and willingly. It is a blessing to many people that you have kept such a wonderful blog. Keep it up. Don't be dishearten.

Hi Aunty

I have been a silent reader of your blog. Just saw this unkind comment... it must have been very disturbing to read it even though it is not true.

You do not owe anyone your recipe or help... when you offer help and your recipe... it should be taken with gratitude. If you can't help or offer it... it should be taken with respect and understanding.

Choo... what have you offered or done to classify yourself as unselfish? Aunty has lots of respect for the owner of this recipe which is commendable. As for her status... does Aunty owe you a living or explanation? Rich or not, she gives (time, effort & money)... how abt you, tell us what you have done????

As for for claim... here's what I think -- Aunty, you are generous, kind and gracious.

Chin up Aunty...I will be rallying behind you.

Mint

Hi Lucy,
I have just read these posts. My goodness. Choo strikes me as one who is very immature and kicks up a fuss when she doesn't get what she wants. You shouldn't let her words affect you for you have been a blessing to many people out there who have benefited so much through your generosity. I for one have learnt so much through your sharing and I really enjoy coming to your blog everyday, always looking forward to new recipes and yummy pictures. For the likes of people such as 'choo' its best to just ignore them. They are a total waste of time.
Lucy, thanks again for the wonderful work you have done. Christina

Dear Aunty Yochana

First, I must declare that this is my virgin post! (I actually have not left any comments anywhere before... **blushhh**) Well, like a few others, I take on a passive and silent role, conscientiously going through your posts/answers everyday, always ending up with lots of woohs and wows. I am truly impressed with your skills and really admire your generosity and appreciate the amount of effort you put in in posting recipes and answering queries. Your works and responses really make my day. Thank you so much!

Aunty Yochana, when I read that comment, I was shocked and there were lots of questions on my head as to why would anyone make such unfair comments? I simply couldn't understand and I am still puzzled. (Maybe it's some balance of life? Like having positives as well as negatives? So,... let's say if there are pple who like you, there will be pple who dislike you as well??? Oh well... just trying to find a reason to it...*sigh*) Anyway, I must say I was deeply affected by it... And as much as how a third party like me reading that post can get so disturbed, the amount of impact it has on you must really be beyond imagination... it must have hurt...

No matter what, Aunty Yochana, always remember that there are always hiccups in life. but ultimately, life still goes on. So don't let them beat you down k? Take them as challenges, bear with them, and live on, and you will emerge stronger than ever.

In any case, you will always have my support... Oh.. Not just mine I believe. So i guess i should say OUR support!!! =P

All the way!!!

Yochana,
I just got to see the bad remarks from the hint at the chatting.

This stupid foolish Choo ( I hope she is reading) has not been taught manners by her parents. How can she behave this way - coming into a person's place and barking like a mad dog. She should be requesting and not demanding... who the heck think she is..

Sorry that I have to write this way as I cannot tolerate naughty and crying "babies"

I am happy to know that you are not disturbed and still continue posting the nice pics and recipes.

Yochana keep it up and keep going, all of us like your blog.. I am coming everyday, just to drool at your pics.... I am not cooking much now.

Hi cindi,

Your words has touched my heart and from here I know who my friends are.

At this point of juncture, I'm glad to have friends who supported me and gave me encouragement.

I would also like to thank my floor chat friends: Bluecrystal, IreneJ, Elizabeth, Suzie and Adeline for comforting me when I needed it most.

With all the encouragement, I have grown stronger and I will try my best to make this blog a happy one.

In search of durian puff brought me to your blog. I do received some nasty comments on my blog too, what I did was ignore them. To me, it is waste of time to feel upset or attend to those rude people who does not respect him/herself in the first place. Happy blogging.

Hi lydia,

I somehow got used to this idea of ppl writing nasty remarks on our blog. It's just a sign of jealousy or that person must be out of his or her mind.

Thanks for your comforting words.
