Salam buat semua.

Pada ketika dan saat post ini ditulis, MU mendahului Arsenal dengan 1-0 dalam pertarungan 1st leg separuh akhir Champions League. Hebat! Hebat!

Hari ini penuh dengan cabaran. Sepanjang ketiadaan mak dengan ayah, saya terpaksa menggunakan kereta manual. Hakikatnya, saya tidak kisah dengan apa jua kereta, asalkan saya dapat tiba ke destinasi. Cuma, ya, sejak ayah memberi kebenaran menggunakan kereta, saya belasah yang auto. Bayangkan bila saya memandu kereta manual, kereta emak yang sangat dikenali ramai itu. Tiba saat apabila saya tidak dapat menyelaraskan clutch dengan minyak ( pendek kata, enjin kereta mati ), memang saya tidak dapat mengelak daripada tersenyum sendirian dalam cuba untuk menunjukkan muka maaf melalui side mirror kepada pemandu belakang Macam- macam. Namun masuk hari yang kedua, saya sudah mampu memecut. Haha. Mujur masih ada pelekat P di kereta emak.

Ok, gambar-gambar seperti yang dijanjikan. Upload pictures daripada memory card yang terdahulu telah ‘hilang’ dalam Picasa. Sangat kecewa. Kadang-kadang teknologi menyusahkan. Hmmm.. Jadi, gambar- gambar berikut adalah separuh daripada yang diharapkan dapat di upload

Terima kasih ahli-ahli Wanita UMNO kawasan Jemapoh.

Kek ‘emergency’. Selamat Hari Lahir buat emak (24 April) dan Angah (26 April), semoga terus panjang umur dan dilimpahi rahmat-Nya, amiin.

Terima kasih Cik Fizah dari Pejabat MARA Kuala Pilah. Ini kek yng tak menguji decorator, kan? Kebiasaannya, saya akan draft dan lukis menggunakan tangan. Namun, jika kek agak kecil dan lukisan agak mencabar, sugar deco seperti ini amat membantu

Terima kasih Jabatan Pertanian Kuala Pilah, walaupun sangat-sangat short notice. 30 cupcakes dalam masa 1  1/2 jam Cupcakes bersempena majlis perpisahan AO Kuala Pilah, Encik Suffian Aizudin yang akan berpindah ke Johor Bharu. Semoga terus maju jaya

Terima kasih Puan Nurie, Putrajaya, juga untuk majlis perpisahan staff.

MU masih mendahului. Yeay! Bercakap pasal majlis-majlis perpisahan ni, emak turut tidak terkecuali daripada dipindahkan Perlis? Lagi jauh kan? Tapi, tidak mengapa. Mungkin ada sesuatu yang lebih menarik menanti untuk menambahbaik kredibiliti emak di sana.

Sekian, salam hormat

Assalamualaikum.

As how my brother would tease it, I’ve been busier than a prime minister. Orders are pouring in. Demands are undeniably hard to say no to. Days without xtra sharp are killing me. No stock through the nation. I’ve contacted Bangi, KL, Terengganu, Johor, Melaka, and Tampin but it went to no avail. Gosh! If anyone had a bottle extra in their keeping, I’m more than willing to pay double the price to get my dose

Here goes my checklist of orders over the weekend :

• A 5 kg birthday cake for YB Datuk Hasan Malek, Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development cum Parliament Member of Kuala Pilah,
• A Spiderman birthday cake for Miss Fizah of MARA Kuala Pilah,
• 2 kg chocolate moist cake for Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat’s district officer in duty,
• 25 cupcakes for Lat of UKM,
• 120 cupcakes for students of SK Juasseh,
• More cupcakes for Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Najihah’s cafeteria,
• 100 pieces of buns for SMK Za’aba’s kiosk,

and, last but not least was a heart-shaped strawberry cherry layered cake with fresh cream, specially made for my mum and brother’s double birthday! XOXO!

April is ending. Though I haven’t yet achieved my target sales for the month, I had overcome March’s sales in total. Alhamdulillah. Several schools had contacted for orders in bulk, and still, I can’t make up my mind just yet. For the time being, it will still be fine for me to accept those orders since my little sister is still at home. But what if once she gets into college? Who would help me out then? I can actually ruin my reputation by willing to accept big orders but fail to keep it up, isn’t it? If only i have a REAL bakery, then hiring an employee should be easier~

I promised pictures and I will upload them very very soon. Some problems occurred in Picasa and I will fix them ASAP. And good news, me and my sister will be heading north this weekend for a few days away off the oven Plus, MU are coming over to KL this July! Can’t hardly wait!

Till then, best regards

Assalamualaikum =)

Saya diserang penyakit misteri (kerana ketiadaan XTRASHARP agaknya), pening dan loya semenjak Khamis hingga Sabtu. Menjelang Ahad, Alhamdulillah, saya beransur sihat. Mimpi yang pelik mengganggu beberapa malam kebelakangan ini, saya banyak termenung dan berfikir. Kadang- kadang sedih. Khuatir sekiranya sesuatu yang tidak baik berlaku. Harapnya Allah memudahkan perjalanan hidup ini, amiin.

Mungkin apa yang merunsingkan saya mungkin sekali berkenaan dengan jawapan temuduga yang saya jalani pada Mac lalu. Mengikut jangkaan, jawapan akan diberikan kepada calon yang berjaya pada akhir bulan ini. Saya gusar, walhal ayah yakin yang saya berjaya di dalam temuduga itu. Sukarnya apabila meningkat dewasa, kebolehan membuat keputusan seakan-akan semakin pudar dan samar. Segalanya bergantung kepada bagaimana kita mahu masa depan kita kelihatan. Indah, mewah, sayup atau sepi? Seakan-akan janggal apabila apa yang kita yakin dapat dilakukan, apa yang kita mahukan, seolah-olah terlepas dari genggaman hanya dengan kejumudan akal yang berlaku barang sedetik cuma. Kemampuan menghasilkan keputusan yang tepat, tidak semudah membayangkan masa depan yang penuh dengan warna-warni. Kata-kata akhir yang dikeluarkan mugkin menjadi penyelamat atau pemusnah. Jadi bagaimana? Selarikah akal bertindak dengan rintihan jiwa yang mentah? Sanggupkah nafsu ditundukkan lalu mengharung onak dan badai?

Saya masih menganggap diri sebagai pelajar yang serba kekurangan; belajar dari pemerhatian, memantau dari firasat hati, sambil berjalan dan kadang-kadang berlari. Saya jatuh. Saya luka dan menangis tetapi saya sedar, pengalaman inilah yang akan mendewasakan saya. Mungkin barangkali saya sudah dianggap dewasa oleh teman-teman seusia, kawan-kawan ayah dan ibu, namun, jauh di sudut hati, saya masih ingin menjadi normal; seorang remaja yang berusia 22 tahun, yang tidak mahu terlalu cepat belajar mengenai hidup. Tapi saya tidak tahu mengapa, saya rasakan yang terlalu banyak perkara yang ingin saya lakukan, terlalu berat agenda yang saya susun, terlalu cepat masa berlalu.. Saya harus menjadi dewasa, walaupun hati nakal saya memujuk untuk memperlahankan langkah, berhenti berehat, jalan-jalan, makan-makan..

Kadang-kadang saya rasakan tanggungjawab yang saya pikul sebagai seorang anak, seorang wanita, seorang usahawan Muslim, dan seorang hamba kepada yang Maha Kuasa, adalah pendorong kepada semangat dalaman ini. Saya hanya seorang manusia yang penuh dengan kekurangan, anak yang kadang-kadang agak degil, wanita yang tidak suka mengikuti fesyen terkini, usahawan yang cuba memberikan yang terbaik dan hamba yang sentiasa terleka, kadang-kadang alpa dibuai masa. Namun, di dasar hati, saya ingin berjaya secepat mungkin. Saya mahu kejayaan dan limpahan rezeki ini berterusan di bawah redha dan rahmatNya, agar saya dapat dan sempat menabur bakti dengan sangat-sangat sebagai seorang anak, wanita, usahawan dan hamba terhadapNYa. Mungkin inilah azam yang secara tidak lansung telah mendewasakan saya. Mungkin.

Tidak adil bagi saya memaksa diri untuk bekerja terlalu keras. Tapi apa yang penting, dengan doa yang saya panjatkan ke hadrat Ilahi, saya mohon agar saya dapat membuat keputusan yang baik dalam kehidupan, agar dengan keputusan-keputusan ini, saya dapat mengecapi kebahagiaan dan kejayaan dalam hidup. Redha dengan setiap ujian. Tabah dengan setiap dugaan, insya-Allah.

Walaubagaimanapun, hari ini, alhamdulillah, pertemuan USAHANITA berjalan lancar. Gembiranya saya apabila dapat bertemu dengan ramai sahabat-sahabat usahawan yang baru dan mendaftar sebagai ahli. Juga beberapa sahabat ibu yang dengan girangnya memeluk saya sambil berkata, ‘Awaklah Munirah!’ sambil tersenyum riang dan memuji-muji kecomelan cupcakes saya. Aish.. Berbunga-bunga hati Bunyi macam berpotensi menjadi calon menantu je

Tapi mungkin, dengan jeans lusuh dan sneakers nike usang itu tidak melayakkan saya terampil sebagai calon menantu pilihan barangkali. Hahaha. Ada seorang kakak menjangka yang saya telahpun berkahwin dan mempunyai anak! Biar betul akak ni.. Hahaha. Saya mungkin memerlukan wardrobe makeover barangkali.

Alhamdulillah. Hari ini indah. Mungkin akan lebih indah sekiranya MU dapat ke Final FA CUP.

Mohon dengan sangat

Salam hormat.

Salam to all =)

My cute little darlings! It’s an undeniably one of my greatest pleasure to play around my adorable kittens. They are so sweet! With those innocent eyes and soft tiny paws, gosh, I wish they can stay small forever =)

My parents has safely returned from Alor Setar this morning, bringing home a lot of my favourite snacks. NYuM! Gone was my lunch, heee.. Hari Bertemu Pelanggan has yet to be postponed to a new date. Though I felt quite disappointed, another door always open. My mother’s friend offered another place in USAHANITA meet-up this Sunday. Nice! Alhamdulillah. There’s always sun after the rain =)

It’s quite an interesting point anyway. As a new entrepreneur, disappointment has become my best friend. Though the feeling is very uneasy, I have to deal with it. I have to still accept it though, to tell you the truth, it was very difficult to digest. But nevertheless, always remember that perseverance is the ultimate key. You have to be strong enough and be there long enough, up until one point, everything else will come at ease, God’s willing.

Anyway, I’ve finished up my last droplets of XTRASHARP while hoping for the new stock to arrive VERY VERY SOON. Please.. maxcare.. I can’t live without my supplement

Till then, good night

Salam to all.

As how life could have been endlessly blessed by Him, I came to my senses that I am truly fortunate for this love and bliss He had showered, for how I, sometimes, shamefully forgot to be grateful. All praises in the world for Allah the Lord, for this prosperous life I’m living, for these superbly wonderful family I have, caring friends and a picture perfect of a little bit of everything in compose. Thank you Allah. And I can’t thank enough.

Last week had been great. I’ve made several customized VIP souvenirs for a school’s function, entertained ‘my first customer’ of UiTM and Mahsa College’s practical nurses. Thank you for your trust and support. I received an order for a YB birthday somewhere next week. Nice. I registered myself for Seminar Asas Perniagaan organized by MARA Kuala Pilah. Plus, Peggy Porschen is coming to Malaysia and ICCA is inviting me to attend her cake decorating classes! She’s like a goddess of modern cake decorator and I figured that the offer is very much irresistible despite the dear amount of fee!~ ‘Mom, PLEASEE.. can I go? =D’

MU had been in a great shape too! Macheda had swept me of my feet for his super heroic magical touches since they had fortunately been (perfectly) placed in order for MU to stay at the top of the table. Come on dear, 8 more games to go

I’ve successfully downloaded Brian Tracy’s audio program as well. Best bangat!

My addiction to TV, on the other hands, has become a habit which is not good though. Shark, Spongebob Squarepants, Brothers& Sisters, Samantha Who, and a few more sitcoms had kept my eyes glued to the box and that’s when my work has to be postponed. Hmm. Got to get rid of this, aite?!

By this Sunday is another function of Hari Bertemu Pelanggan organized by Jabatan Pertanian Negeri Sembilan which will be held in Dato’ Bahaman Hall in Jalan Bukit, Kuala Pilah. Nice, nice. New faces,new customers and clients. Better start planning now. Or maybe after Samantha Who tonight

For this fantastic week, thank you Allah. For my parents who are in their honeymoon in Kedah and Penang, take a good care of them, God. May they have a great time and a safe journey home. ( Sebenarnya, saya dan adik turut mahu ikut serta, tapi.. takpelah, some other time will do ;P )

Till then, best regards. I’ll upload some pictures soon.

p/s : sometimes guys can look hot in pink, don’t you think?

It’s been a while since I can actually sit down and pour my heart out into another blank post. As my schedule is geting hectic and erratic, my system went haywire. My delicious thought of having a nice lazy Sunday was vanished with a complete makeover of our storage area. If it wouldn’t be because of LV Foundation For Kids, I wouldn’t have the full heart of doing so. It’s almost 80% done and hopefully by Friday, we can pack up clothes and books to be given away. I promised myself I’ll go to JKM tomorrow.

I’m a person with a very strong conscientious intuition. Sometimes it can get scary, when I think of someone and a few minutes later, that particular someone will call to say hi. When I wonder about someone, he or she would pop up out of nowhere, standing right in front of my very nose. I had strange dreams lately. Though I would say they could literally meant nothing, but unfortunately, they happened to be real. It happens to most peopIe, I know. But this is another story.

I shooed away a kitten from the middle of the road last week while hoping that it will stay away, safe from speeding vehicles and BANG! I ran over my very own cat this morning! And I swore he was nowhere nearby my car. How devastated =( [I'm so sorry, Jang]

As how I would describe it, the rest of my day was not that plain and easy. Along the way to Bahau for another stock-pilling, I kept repeating such horrid scenes : Jang was gasping for air while red, hot blood pooling the pavement. His eyes were watching me, as I wept and screamed. I had his blood all over my hands. And own my way to the vet, he died. I even heard whooping meows of cats ringing in my ears as I parked my car in several different ocassions. Don’t punish me God, please..

I would like to call the day off, but the rain starts pouring. And I started to weep, again. There were just some things in life that are so precious, you wouldn’t feel like letting go. I can be strong, I can be tough. But when it comes to my precious cats, I don’t dwell along very well with the emotions. I can accept deaths, but God, please, make them die naturally. I can’t stand the pain.

*Hoping for a good night’s sleep*
