It’s been ages since my last post. And I haven’t been able to snap pictures leisurely and posted them overnight like I used to do. But I will try harder next time. Really miss blogging. Hope everyone’s doing great!
Best regards

Busy is just another excuse.
Filed under: Business, Cakes, everyday's rant; Tagged as: Baking, business matters, Cake, everyday's rant, hantaran, orders2 CommentsThis cake was made in December. Last year. And a few more pictures went missing here and there ever since my laptop broke down. Speaking of high-technology’s ‘wonders’, aite? My bad. I didn’t back-up my files.
But anyhow, the damage had been done. Basically there’s nothing much I can do regarding updating my blog since December. The truth is, I’ve been busy. And I know, I can get even busier than this. Soon enough.
But..
It was just an excuse, kot.
Kalau sibuk, macam mana boleh sempat baca blog keretamayat sampai pukul 3 pagi?
My parents had safely arrived Beseri last night. Leaving me all alone, again. While I wished I could savour my mom’s meal instead of this homemade strawberry milkshake, I know that’s not going to happen in the near future.
I hope I can get married to a cook. I hope I can hire some new staffs. I hope my high expectation about ‘that person’ is true ( I was over-praising him, I guessed- kecewanya) I hope I have at least a few more thousand MYR inside my bank account ( I might lose that perfect little shop which is open for rental in KP, oh!). I hope I can stop merapu now.
Good night everyone. I might had taken XtraSharp a little more than I should today.
Best regards.
p/s : Fara, congratulations upon your engagement. I’ll upload your gorgeous cake picture soon, k?

TM : Hari tu ada persembah kek kan? Waktu pertabalan?
SM : Hmm, ada Tuanku, ada.. Hehe.
TM : Kat mana bakery ni?
SM : Kat Ampang Tinggi Tuanku.
TM : Ohh.. Ada jumpa anak saya kan hari tu?
SM : Hmm..
TM : Anak saya, Tunku Besar (YAM Tunku Ali). Ada jumpa kan kat luar istana hari tu?
SM : Ohh, haa.. ya Tuanku.. ada.. ada..*sangat nervous*
TAA : Hari tu fruit cake, ni kek apa pula dear?
SM : Carrot cake Tuanku =)
TM : Terima kasih. Come, ambil gambar.
Ok, to tell you the truth, I was floating in the air! The moment Tuanku Muhriz spoke to me was the moment I knew my tears will stroll down my cheek with no obvious reason why. Fortunately, it didn’t happen =) And at time when Tuanku mentioned my previous cake was unbelievable!
I can’t believed HRH still remember my small cake
Selamat Hari Keputeraan yang ke-62 Tuanku Muhriz
Semoga Allah lanjutkan usia Tuanku dan Tuanku Ampuan.

Salam to all..
It’s going to be a very quick post. I finally had been adapted well with the condition of not living with a laptop, a handphone which running out of memory (and seriously lack of appealing appearance!) and decent meals made deliciously by mak will take months to fill in my hungry stomach again.
Missing mak and ayah (euuuww!!)
Period.
And last but not least, I’ll be uploading a VERY NICE picture very soon.
It was taken during Hari Keputeraan Duli Yang Maha Mulia, Yang DiPertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir on January 14th! Oh! Happy!
Wait for my next post! Till then, best regards =)

Wow.. Lama sangat dah tak tulis blog. Feels like forever! Nak type down pun rasa sangat lembab ni!
It’s been two weeks without a single post. Kerja masih banyak. Tapi alhamdulillah. Ever since operating from LemonVanilla’s Bakery, everything had been working out so well ( I lied, ok!). But nevertheless, despite my never-ending works, I enjoyed fulfilling clients’ demands and orders. Although sometimes I screamed (inside!) for those late orders, God still gave the courage to be patience and considerate. OH! Please, try to understand me this time. I had my working hours fixed, even most of the time, I did have to stay back until late at nights. Things did change and they required a lot of readjustments. We need at least 5 days in advance for any orders, especially the ones regarding weddings and engagements. Hmm..
But anyway, I need to finish up some paperwork. Family and friends, thank you for the support. Clients, we are here to celebrate every bite of life. Call and make advance appointments. We never like to turn you down.
And here goes some pictures taken from our Yaasin’s recital majlis.
Adakah ini spokeperson LemonVanilla ^_^?
My eldest sister with Amir.
My beloved ayah, Tn Haji Sulaiman Ismail (R).
Beloved mak, with orang pangkal, my adik!
Antara tetamu-tetamu yang hadir. Terima kasih daun keladi
All the way datang dari Ampang! Semangat nak sign guest book!
TQ for coming, JK!And last but not least, sekitar Majlis Hi-Tea Lembaga Kebajikan Perempuan Islam Malaysia yang diadakan pada 12 Disember lalu di Seremban. Let the pictures do the work la ye!
Kek terbesar dalam sejarah LV
Kerusi kuning itu….
Kek kuning itu..
Dif- dif kehormat
According to plan, the cake was supposed to be the officiating cake.. but then, ditukar jadi kek untuk auction.. First donor was YM Tuanku Ampuan Najihah;
Dan penyumbang- penyumbang seterusnya..
Pembida terakhir, a doctor, who then give back the cake to be distributed to all of the guests. Sungguh baik hati!
At the end, the amount of money collected through auctioning was RM580!! I was so thrilled!!
With Tengku Mariam, Aini and some other guests. Thank you so much for this rare and special opportunity!
I am going to have a very busy day tomorrow.
Untuk warga Kuala Pilah/Seremban, please feel free to come over to LemonVanilla Bakery. Berhadapan Pusat Pertanian Ampang Tinggi, Jalan Kuala Pilah-Seremban. Kami kini beroperasi setiap hari, 7 pagi hingga 6 petang.
Best regards

In short, this is going to be a long post.
I was thinking of starting off a new blog, the one where I can pour my heart out instead of blabbing them here. Emotions had run high in these past few weeks. A lot of things had happened and that included today.
Let pictures do the talking. An avid reader had scolded me for not uploading pictures as promised. Sorry. Time had really taken it’s toll this time around.

Kek hantaran.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri’s cake. I know. It was almost 2 months ago
Carrot banana walnut cake with cream cheese topping.
Manhattan chocolate cheese brownies.
Tiramisu
Chocolate banana cake
Favourite order, Aquarium Birthday Cake.
Tiramisu, up-closed.
Black forest cheesecake
Balloons birthday cake. Very suitable for kids
Marble cheesecake
Ok, a few more afterward.
I already moved out to a new place, located in Ampang Tinggi, Kuala Pilah. It was a perfect, house-like bakery, which I happened to love instantly.
Front view of LemonVanilla Bakery. Yeay!
Inside view of the production area
My office
Somehow, after 1 year officially of working from home, we managed to move out on 19th of November ( which clearly make my mom very very happy since our kitchen is now VERY spacious) and did my last mass production from home yesterday. We had a Yaasin’s recital ceremony at our new place today, had a huge number of clients, friends and relatives turned out, and my parents looked happier than ever. I hope I have made them proud.
Alhamdulillah. Somehow He answered my prayers.
And these are another strings of my proudest moments, capturing pictures of Negeri Sembilan’s football team during their visit to Kuala Pilah
Ponek nak sign macam ni
Anyway and anyhow, I know the cake was simple (pardon me, I didn’t take a pic) but I hope those football players loved it. Tahniah jang!~ sincerely from LemonVanilla Bakery, tanpa ada maksud tersembunyi!
Muka excited~! Weeeee!
Then, a few more pictures (oh, sudah penat lagi mengantuk)
Blueberry chocolate ice cream cake
More or less the same. blueberry cake.
Book-like birthday cake
Thank you, Jabatan Agama Kuala Pilah
Manhattan chocolate cheese brownies, lagi
Marble cheesecake, lagi juga
Chocolate cheesecake with chocolate ganache.
Thank you Miss Fauzana of UiTM Kuala Pilah. Congrates on the engagement!
And last but not least, classic cheesecake.
To all clients, thank you so much for your endless support. Please feel free to visit LemonVanilla Bakery, located in front of Pusat Pertanian Ampang Tinggi, Kuala Pilah.
To that mysterious stalker, I hope you enjoy these pictures
And not to forget, Tengku Tina of Istana Besar Seri Menanti; thank you for that much-awaited phone call
I really hope to serve HH in the near future
When I come to think about it, I should just had my rest and forget the world’s content. Today had been hectic. But since I had a few cups of coffee since morning, I can’t barely sleep. Fatigue but awake. Still had a long to-do-list tomorrow. Notice how inalert I was when I realized I didn’t trademark my pictures..
Naahh.. nevermind-lah!~
Best regards everyone. Good night
p/s : I love our new place. It’s located just opposite the main road of Seremban-Kuala Pilah. At least I can sometimes see TAR speeding on the road with His sunglasses on!
Pardon my grammar~! I haven’t sleep in the past 20 hours~

Salam everyone.
These pics were meant to be uploaded last week, but then again, I know, it’s sounded more boring than ever whenever I mention the phrase ‘I was busy’, again. Good that these pics can tell stories, too. I’ll be uploading more, soon.


The inside view of Crystal Seafood Cafe’s exclusive dining area.


Up-close, but overall, this cafe has an inviting atmosphere which I found very hard to resist to dine-in! And how much I wish for a shooting star, Kuala Pilah will have one of this, right here, in the near future.
*Mana jutawan-jutawan Pilah?*
Anyway, the 3rd shipping is due soon. New cakes, fabuluos brownies. What’s left to be done is to have your teeth sunk them in.
Enjoy. And thanks for your endless support

November’s here. Amazing things had happened throughout the past few weeks. I can hardly catch my breath.
As days go by, I’m missing my parents terribly. Problems did arise from each corner of my indisputably busy life, despite how I wish I could handle things one time at a time. Somehow I wish I could board the first flight heading north tomorrow. The feeling of longing to be consoled is hardly deniable, even at the age of almost 23. Hurmm~
It’s about time to be in state of super-busy. I might not have those ample time like I used to have, blogging and updating myself with latest posts from my favourite bloggers. Somehow I swore to fully make use of my time, but along the way, distractions cross my path
Prioritizing had definitely smote me. Maybe some time off work would do wonders.The good news is, now Klang Valley’s residents can savour LemonVanilla’s cakes and tortes @ Crystal Seafood Cafe, No 3099, Jalan Cengal Selatan, Setapak Garden, KL
These include classic cheesecake, tiramisu and almond chocolate torte. And if I’m not mistaken, some cake supplies were also distributed to this cafe’s second outlet in Putrajaya’s Precint 15, nearby Mydin. Enjoy!
p/s : it’s a fairytale, because I never thought I could supply LemonVanilla’s cakes to KL within such a very short period of operating~ Thank you Mr Nazlan of Crystal Teamtrade Sdn Bhd. It’s a dream come true

A wise man dreams of happiness~
Filed under: Cakes, everyday's rant, hobby, orders, thoughts to ponder; Tagged as: little wishes, pieces of life2 CommentsSalam everyone.
It’s one of these days where my brain had drained out; wondering about a lot of things, neglecting the necessities or not. Whether my mind was doing me tricks by sending blurry signals about what was happening around me or it’s just another fact that I have to learn to willingly accept, I’m not quite sure.
My bluecube hadn’t being so co-operative since last week. After numerous calls to celcom center then only we had everything in order again. Thanked God. Had some catching up with my old lecturer (asking for a new theme for www.sitimunirah.com), read the latest news on MU’s new sign-ups ( Michael Owen? for real?), updating my status at facebook (www.facebook.com/sitimunirahs) and the list goes on. Sangat berfaedah internet ni kan?
As for the activities last week, I drove myself to Shah Alam for a wedding cake delivery for Kak Aziriah (first time!), met up my precious cousins in Subang, got lost in PJ (ended up somewhere near Sri Petaling! lorh!), attended an Irfan Khairi’s pre-seminar at Cititel ( ini sangat best!, I even gave him a loaf of cake and had him autographed my book! ^_^), and also, enjoying late night dinner ( just like the old days back in PJ). How I missed those times
The next day itself, as I and Arry made our way heading home, boleh pulak tayar pancit, in the middle of Federal Highway!
Nah.
That’s interesting!
As how my super GIRLPOWER spirit skyrocketting, we vowed to take care of the issue by ourselves. Of course, my big brother had been giving instructions on hows and to-dos. The thing is, first, I’ve never change a flat tyre. Second, Arry also never change a flat tyre (haha). Third, I had always been the ‘macho’ kind of person, so, I do prefer to do everything on my own (lagi laa). Fourth, although we were wearing the ‘kesian‘ faces, nobody was really keen on helping us, probably because it was 7.45am, they were all rushing to punch their cards on time, aite?
So that’s it. Living in a busy city required a higher level of surviving. And so we did changed the tyre with some help from a few good samaritans and the rest was history. I managed to get everything done in less then 20 minutes. Not a good record but at least, I do know how to now :)
As how fate has it, we made a safe journey home. By that evening, Arry and I walloping on a guni of durians from my kampung. It was a very interesting weekend and the next thing I know, I was down with fever on Sunday
Anyway and anyhow, a few habits-changing-challenge will be taking place all this week. A lot of things in mind, which I would love to keep them to myself at the moment, figuring how to work everything out in compose. A lot of thanks to Dr Irfan for the short and resourceful seminar. A deepest gratitude goes to my cousin for being here when I needed him the most. A grateful wish to dear God for some eye-opening scenarios, heart-warming moments, and endless nikmat. Jazakallah.
And last but not least, here goes a Turkish proverb, which was sent by Uncle Aziz (thanks!) via email :
A fool dreams of wealth, a wise man, of happiness
p/s : 11 more days for MU to come over to Bukit Jalil! I can’t hardly wait
An emergency cake, I had to get it done in the middle of finishing a wedding cake ~
Kek hantaran buat Kak Aziriah, Shah Alam. Tahniah
Pandangan dari hadapan kek
And, guess who’s this….
Ladies & gentlemen, presenting the ever humble Dr. Irfan Khairi
Ok, got to go now. I want to ‘dream’ of happiness. Best regards
