Hmm..

Hmm..
Been wanting to update my blog for a few days now. Staring at the screen, my fingers typing a sentence or two and then its back to deleting the whole thing over and over. My brain refuses to cooperate.

I guess too much looking at reports makes my brain tepu, and not to mention the sleepless night that I sometimes had thinking of how to collect payments from our customers. I look at the aging report again today, and my heart goes gedebak gedebuk, a whopping RM27mil yet to be collected from debtors!! That and benda-benda yang sewaktu dengannya causes nausea all the time. I need a break!!

I look forward to the days when I no longer have to worry about all those and just concentrate on doing the things I enjoy, things that gives me satisfaction ....Well, one step at a time. Insya'Allah the days will come.

Uh.. ok. Enough of those luahan perasaan. Let me share with you some of the cakes from our oven last week.




blue & white theme butter cake for fabmom's birthday, ordered by her 2 good friends - shabbymom and whimsy. My 2 girls had fun time creating those flowers and butterflies from fondant.





chocolate moist with butter icing - ordered by Valerie for her little Anya.








Lucky Anya, cause her mom ordered 2 cakes for her. Different flavour of course. Butter cake with butter icing makes Dora the explorer.

..and 3 sets of these, ordered by SESB's staffs. Thanks Sabrina & friends








..and Thank you all. We hope you enjoyed the cakes as we enjoyed baking and decorating them. There is no satisfaction than seeing joy and excitement on other people's faces - especially kids, when we are able to create a cake that not only look beautiful but taste good for them.

Steamboat lagi ...

My periuk masih lagi di office since the last time we had our steamboat. So today we decide untuk bersteamboat lagi. Makanan kali ni tidak lah sebanyak dulu. Just nice.

..tapi yang paling sedap ikan masin. Our kakak cleaner bawa dari rumah.

I tambah nasi 2 kali. My friends cakap I kuat makan sudah sekarang. Not like last time, satu pinggan nasi pun susah mau kasi habis. I guess that explain why my size S baju semua tidak muat sudah. But ah, I dont really care, as long as I am healthy.

Ini afternoon tea kami.

siapa kah ahli-ahli geng kuat makan ini, nanti lah I blog another time. Itu pun kalau I dapat tangkap gambar dorang. Dorang ni semua pemalu. Ha ha ha ...

Wedding

Our first wedding cake.
02nd. May 2009

We have had a few request before this, but being an amateur baker we hesitated. We feel, or rather I feel that we are not ready for weddings. When Cay asked me 2 months ago if I can bake for his brother's wedding, I asked hubby's opinion. He said, "lets do it". And we did ...

A simple butterfly + flower design in purple and white. The cake is Chocolate moist with butter icing and cupcakes are of vanilla and chocolate flavour with butter icing.

Cay and I 'met' thru blogging sometime last year...we became cyber friends and since then we've been visiting and commenting on each others blog. The day that I delivered the cakes, that was the first we met face to face.

... nice, sweet and friendly

.. and here is another one for the album.

Thank you Cay and family for trusting our work.

Lunch

Today's lunch

Steamboat for 9, because colleague yang lain outstation. Lihat lah kuah yang menggelegak itu ....

Look at the background, can you guess where we had it? Right, Our office lah tu. Malas sudah kami makan di kedai-kedai berhapiran so we decided to have steamboat instead. This is the second time actually, the first was last month. But at that time everybody sibuk makan, so we didnt get to take any picture.

Kuat makan kah? .. eh ada lagi. We had cheese cake too. Momoi's new recipe. Tidak sempat ambil gambar sudah habis kena makan.



Ok lah. That's all for today. Got to finish some work because I will be on leave tomorrow. Not celebrating wesak a day in advance lah, my helper mau hantar duit ke kampung so nobody jaga little Shasha.

Till then, happy Wesak to those celebrating and kepada ibu-ibu sekalian, Selamat Hari Ibu.

Cakes

Masih busy lagi, so no interesting stories that I can share with you except for some pics of the few cakes we did last week. Enjoy.

Horse design cake ordered by Martina. Our daughter used to go to the same kindergarten.

.. this one is for a Manchester fan, a lecturer in UMS. This is the second order for Manchester cuppies from UMS.

My friend Jazz called me two days before her dad's birthday. Bake me a money cake,RM100 note ah bukan duit syiling she said. I told her I cannot do duit kertas but if she agree, I will add duit emas in the decoration. Nah, here goes ...

..she smsed me a day later to tell me that the cake was not enough for everybody. Budak-budak makan the cakes, orang tua makan cream saja. I wonder who ate the fat man?

And the red cake is for my regular customer Christine. "Happy Birthday Chris, semoga panjang umur dan dimurahkan lagi rezeki"

Tomorrow is a public holiday.
I will be busy preparing cakes and cuppies for Cay. Her brother's wedding is on Saturday, but I am happy cause baking is my hobby. Plus, hubby and the kids will assist me with the decoration. So its actually fun time for us.

...so whats your plan? ....whatever it is Selamat Hari Buruh everyone!

Busy

I've been extremely busy the last week or so with work, work, and more work. Argggghh.. wish it will end sooner. I need a break!

I wish to go to this place again...

Look like its located overseas isnt it?
The truth is this place is only about 90 km from Kota Kinabalu. Beautiful place. Aman, damai, dingin - well a nice place to relax and forget about work.

We stayed here during Good Friday.

It was more fun cause we booked the whole place. So it was only us there together with hubby's good friends and their families. 4 families altogether. Amat meriah. We chat and eat, eat and chat and finally when we got tired of eating and chatting, the ibu-ibu and anak-anak went back to our respective chalet and sleep. But the husbands stayed on berkaraoke. Honestly, after nearly 10 years of being his wife, that was the first I heard my hubby karaoked ... and I love it!

Some of the pics taken. I wonder why my eyes look so sepet?

We had a wonderful time.

Oh, but this awful sight greeted us when we reached home ...



..Vandalisma betul lah! Our gate bell kena korek! ..and this is not the first time ok. See the tapak tangans?

If you are in my position, what would you do?

a cake & a pond

What do you think of this?

Chocolate moist cake I baked for hubby good friend punya daughter. But the decoration all done by my hubby. This was last week punya project. We also baked and decorated 150 cupcakes - but I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes.

The below pic is a progress of the beautifying our garden project as at Saturday 04 April.



Ya, its a fish pond bah. Almost complete. Special thanks to my daddy also for his helping hand. I will show you more pic of the progress nanti ok.

On another note,
I macam not so ok lah lately. I always feel giddy and tired. No, I am not pregnant if thats what you are thinking.

When I went to see the doctor today, I was told that I have low blood pressure. The blood tidak reach the brain the doctor said, thats why I selalu pening and get tired very easily. O, but he already gave me medication for 10 days. I hope I'll get better soon. And.. the best therapy, we are going for a short break di pergunungan during the Easter holiday. Cant wait...
