Salam buat semua.

Indahnya Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu, syukur tidak terhingga atas segala rahmat kurniaanNya. Hari ini hari yang hebat. Dari pagi hingga pada saat kini, saya kira saya diberi rezeki yang melimpah ruah, seakan Allah perkenankan doa-doa saya secara serentak. Dengan hati yang sebak, saya rasakan yang kadang-kadang saya terlepas pandang nikmat-nikmat yang tidak terhitung banyaknya. Saya bukan seorang hamba yang baik barangkali.

Usaha tangga kejayaan.

Kata-kata ini ringkas. Sangat ringkas. Tetapi kesannya terhadap pembentukan jiwa dan nurani saya memberi impak yang sangat mendalam. Saya akui usaha saya dalam memajukan perniagaan, bahkan dalam membentuk jiwa kebal untuk menghadapi segala penolakan dan kerugian, tidaklah sehebat mana. Tapi atas pemahaman yang Allah tidak akan mensia-siakan hambaNya yang berusaha, saya cekalkan hati, teruskan melangkah walau beberapa kali tersungkur. Alhamdulillah. Saya lebih kuat dari semalam.Tapi godaan syaitan itu wujud juga. Hati saya kadang-kadang gundah. Resah tidak bertempat. Seakan ada sesuatu yang saya rasakan tidak kena.

Ahh.. Ini hanya mainan hati barangkali.

Apakan daya saya sebagai hamba yang sangat lemah, beberapa ‘fikiran nakal’ ini acapkali membuatkan saya hilang fokus. Lalu saya istighfar, saya yakin, ini hanyalah ujian daripadaNya. Mungkin ada sesuatu perkara yang perlu saya selesaikan. Ada beberapa jawapan yang perlu saya cari. Walaupun dengan cara yang tidak dianggap normal oleh sesetengah orang, saya berdoa agar beban yang ditanggung dapat dikurangkan dalam sedikit masa lagi, insyaAllah. Saya cuba berusaha sebaik mungkin, dengan apa jua cara. Semoga hari-hari saya dan kalian akan lebih tenang.

Ya Allah.

Thank you for everything~

These past few days had been exciting and busy, with a lot of demand for chocolate cakes. Chocolate moist cake, chocolate fudge cake, double chocolate muffin, chocolate cupcakes and even quitessential chocolate chip cookies! How fun! I’m guessing everyone is in the mood for chocolate this week

It’s a quick post. Already 1.10am. Tomorrow’s going to be a busy day for me. Night everyone =)

Salam to all..

It’s an emotional month. Every now and then my friends will text or email me with their mixed emotions and troubled minds. Me? All that I can do is lending an ear and both shoulders for them to lean on to. I wished I could be more helpful, but nope, I can’t. Somehow I feel helpless but when I come to think about it, we are in our twenties. It’s time to take action on our own, judge what’s best for our lives and move on to achieve our dreams. Easier said than done, eh?

When the world turns you down, you will automatically look around you for comfort; anyone, who will give you a pat on your back and tell you to let it all out, nod at every unuttered lines, and eventually offer you the kindest words of advices. But what if there’s no one? And what if he or she is not the one whom you can pour your heart out at ease?

When I come to think about it, I had been in the same situation as well before. Since GOD had blessed us, women, with strings of complex emotions, I can’t get away from the same problem neither. Even if no one is around, I have to be ‘that’ someone and cool myself down in front of the mirror. Sounds pretty silly but it works. At least for me.

As a reminder for myself, being too dependent on other people can be helpful and frustrating at some particular points. What matters most is, in order for us to escape from the turbulence of mixed emotions, we have to always count our blessings off. Which are undeniably incalculable. Therefore, keep in mind that problems can always be solved, that every single thing in life always happened for a reason, and GOD knows what’s best for us. This is just another trial, working it’s magic on a person’s soul.

To all my friends, I might not always there for you, but I am always here. Take care

Salam to all..

My sister and I were there during Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Pilah’s Sport’s Day last Thursday, selling hundreds of buttercream cupcakes by the road side. The atmosphere was undeniably awesome, triggers my fond memories of primary school’s days. I was there, ten years ago, with a yellow t-shirt on and probably a head scarf [ I forgot, I think I wore one], screamed my lungs out in support of Ghaffar’s house, sprained my ankle from a 4×100m event with a sunburnt face due to intensive (konon-konon) training, weeks before.

We were having a difficulty, at the very first place itself, we didn’t have a small tent. I’ve tried asking several people but unfortunately, they didn’t have any. It was almost noon at that time, our time had quickly ran out, until one of father’s friend came with our desirable size of tent; just perfect! God, it was a pure bless

I met my teachers and surprisingly, they still recognized me. Terharunya! My mom came around six and that time, we had sold more than half of the cupcakes, together with tonnes of stationaries which we sold under a garage’s sale tag for a very cheap price The feedback was unexpected, but thanked GOD. The kids loved our stall and hung around with us most of the time. It was fun. We enjoyed ourselves as ‘kids’, again We ate ice-creams, screamed at running events and clapped whenever Ghaffar won a race Nice!

And as God wants it to be, I was approached by a very well-mannered lady, offered me to sell my cupcakes at her newly-opened Petronas station, one of the biggest in Kuala Pilah by far. Alhamdulillah.

Everything happened for a reason ~~ Thank you Allah

Salam to all.

I had a lot of things to be done by today but unfortunately, another pile of messes came out of nowhere, halt my in-progress plans and yup, I have to reschedule my to-do-list for tomorrow.

February is moving so fast. I had been busy, true, but today is already the 10th!? Awatnya lagu ni? As if I could hardly notice how time had flown by so inevitably crazy. Just now I realized that I haven’ finished reading up my January book: Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins *_* My bad!

I missed several of my friends’ birthdays. Another appointment with the dentist is postponed. My long-awaited baking class had been rescheduled, again. Probably due to fatigue, I loss my appetite easily as I started to skip meals more often than necessary. Deprivation for sleep in no longer uncommon. I think I need a break but can I really afford to lose my working’s momentum by pausing continuously along the way?

On the second thought, I know that I have to strive forward. Whether I like it or not. And at the same time, I need to figure out ways as for not jeopardizing my health for the sake of building up my 1 month’s old business.

I surely had a long way to run, I might consider some breaks at various pit stops.

Who says life is easy??

But hey, one good news here. I’ve successfully registered myself for a workshop organized by the Rich Dad Poor Dad’s Team entitled Learn to Be Rich! Grab yourself a seat and I can guarantee that you won’t regret it

Anyway, a big congrates goes to my friend, Mubarak Hussain, for the opening of his 2nd restaurant in PJ. I surely had an idol to adore! A good man by heart, generous and kind, hopeful wishes stir in my head with prayers that I might, someday, be able to be as strong as him.

Don’t give up if the pace is slow. You might succeed with another blow

Salam to all.

As promised, these are some pictures I’ve snapped during my first conducted baking class in group.

To tell you the truth, I was quite nervous. I’ve only had several sessions of 1-to-1 and 1-to-2 classes. 1-to-many? I went white-knuckled !

Fortunately, the class went just as great though my banana carrot cake was not properly done probably due to the oven’s condition. Though it tasted equally great, the appearance was not. Nonetheless, the participants had been extremely eager to learn which delighted me at the end of every session. And I surely had a lot of improvisations needed to be done.

Mistakes are opportunities of learning something new.

Oh, and well, I was not in any of these pictures. Shall upload some more soon.

Best regards

Salam all.

I just went back from PWTC and guess whom did I had my morning break with? Nope, not Pak Lah

>> Pengarah MARA Johor, plus, Ketua Pengarah PolyTech MARA Batu Pahat.

As a single lady among 4 other gents, tell me who in the world wouldn’t feel ackward? Well, I did!

I knew as an entrepreneur, I should have all the guts to start up a conversation, introduce myself and my business background, but I did not. I went all numb in the first 10 minutes or so.

How weird and embarassing. Huhu.

But then, as I started to feel comfortable, I opened my mouth up and started to respond without sounding much as a fool since I’ve been one in several ocassions before.

I had a lot of inputs, tonnes of supports, endless encouragement.. God, I’ve never felt so blessed before.

ALHAMDULILLAH

I will update www.lemonvanilla.com as soon as possible. 

Till then, forgive my carelessness of not bringing my camera to PWTC.

I would have snapped Pak Lah’s cute grin and post them here

Salam to all.

I have so many dreams.

Vague and vivid, a combination of both.

My effort of attempting to own a shop went to another thrash can. Though experience gained through sessions of interviews could have been priceless, the disappointment was unbearable. I found it difficult to digest. But yup, God surely has another plan for me. I shall move on with life

I went to TOYOTA showroom last Monday and hoooahh,  I finally sat inside ‘my’ Vios! Wow! The interior was so spacious, the sleek and soft design of the exterior really had me went gaga all the way home. The interest is so low, my brother thought it would have been the lowest so far, 2.55%!

My VIOS.

My super sleek VIOS..

My VIOS..??

Another dream to be postponed..~~

There’s along way ahead of me.

I surely need to learn how to control my lust for VIOS.

Held back jealousy stares to those VIOSes on road.

I know one day I DEFINITELY will own one.

One bakery.

And one VIOS 1.5S.

Better luck next time!

How you’ve been doing?

Without further mumblings, juggle my BSYU spelling and you’ll get this : BUSY.

Yup.

I missed much of MU’s matches lately, not to mention the previous Australian Open tournament, and of course, a lot of lunches and dinners.

Never thought becoming an entrepreneur can be this busy.

I was conducting a baking class last 2 weeks and it went well and of course, the most satisfying feeling of all was when the products had been well-baked and when those participants were so eager to try themout.

Questions & Answers session was very tiring anyway

It was fun-filling and I hope the Agriculture Department of Negri Sembilan won’t hesitate to invite me for more baking classes in the future

I would love to express bunches of THANKS for the opportunity though!

I will upload a few pictures soon.

Till then, to all entrepreneurs out there, make yourself free this Friday for the GERAK USAHAWAN NASIONAL 2009 in PWTC. I’m going and I can’t wait to gather more information and seek more opportunities regarding expanding businesses.

Take care!
