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

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

Assalamualaikum buat semua.

Hari ini berubah mood untuk menulis di dalam bahasa. Ayah pulang beberapa hari yang lepas untuk menemani saya membuat jualan di bazar Ramadhan sepanjang bulan, InsyaAllah. Bertemu kembali beberapa ‘regular customers’ dari Ramadhan yang lalu. Alhamdulillah, indah perasaan itu apabila ada yang masih ingat dan kenal.

Ketibaan Ramadhan kali ini disambut tanpa kehadiran emak di sisi. Adik- adik kembali menyambung pelajaran. Hanya saya dan ayah di rumah. Canggung rasanya apabila harus bangun di awal pagi dan menyiapkan hidangan buat ayah. Bukan sesuatu yang menjadi kebiasaan, apatah lagi saya selalunya ‘eat for one’. Kala ini, baru saya faham, tanggungjawab emak dan bagaimana emak memikul serta melaksanakannya tanpa alasan, tanpa jemu. Saya seronok melatih diri, seterusnya akur hakikat menjadi seorang isteri dan ibu bukan suatu perkara yang mudah.

Ayah yang juga faham situasi saya yang agak sibuk, turut membantu memasak lauk untuk makan malam dan sahur. Naik segan dibuatnya. Namun, disebabkan masakan ayah semestinya jauh lebih sedap daripada masakan saya, perasaan serba salah itu ditolak ketepi. Ayah hebat dan cekap dalam memasak, sehebat emak ketika di dapur. Semalam ayah menyediakan lauk udang masak lemak cili api berserta ikan parang masak asam dengan petai. Ayah saya hebat bukan?

Laptop akhirnya dapat dibaiki, alhamdulillah. Seronok menyorot blog-blog dari penulis-penulis kegemaran, sekaligus dapat mencurahkan rasa di blog sendiri. Jiwa seakan kosong kebelakangan ini. Terlalu banyak perkara yang ingin dilakukan. Perancangan dan perlaksanaan kadangkala tergendala dek pengharapan-pengharapan yang diberikan oleh manusia. Seharusnya saya akur, keterbegantungan harap hanyalah kepada al-Khaliq. Mungkin ini ujian. Manusia tidak dapat lari dari setiap ketentuanNya. Saya masih muda dan mentah; naif. Jika ‘mereka’ terus-terusan ingin mengambil kesempatan ke atas saya, teruskan. Saya ada hak untuk menentang namun tidak ada keberanian untuk menyatakannya. Rasa hormat terhadap yang lebih tua masih menebal. Saya yakin, jika janji Allah itu benar, hak saya di sisi Allah akan sentiasa dilindungiNya. Tomorrow is always a better day for me, insyaAllah.

Apa yang penting, niat kita dalam setiap urusan adalah semata-mata untuk mendapat redha-Nya. Bersikap bongkak dan takabur atas pemilikan pangkat dan harta jelas menunjukkan keegoan, kedangkalan, serta kurangnya rasa syukur terhadap pinjaman nikmat yang dikurniakan Allah itu. Mohon dengan sangat agar Allah tetapkan hati, kuatkan iman, agar kita tidak tergolong dari kalangan mereka yang lalai mengejar nikmat dunia dan mendamba pujian manusia.

Apabila Tunku Ali Redhauddin Muhriz; Tunku Besar Seri Menanti, mencemar duli di perkarangan bazar Ramadhan dengan hanya seorang polis sebagai ‘escort’, t-shirt polo hitam, ‘khakis’, dan DSLR di tangan, saya tergamam. Baginda berpendidikan University of Cambridge, memegang gelaran yang paling kanan di antara Putera Yang Empat, namun baginda tetap senyum dan menyapa rakyat yang rata-rata terkesima dengan kehadiran baginda ( saya tidak terkecuali!). Pengalaman emak ketika lawatan baginda ke Perlis turut sama hebatnya. Baginda sangat peramah dan mesra rakyat. It’s very rare and uncommon, contrary to our typical views on how usually a Ruler should behave in public. Hebat seorang pemerintah yang hidup penuh dengan hakikat ‘hanya manusia biasa’!

Selamat menjalani ibadah puasa buat semua

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?

Salam everyone..

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 =)

Best regards ~

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!

Macaroni and cheese is not a hugely popularised western-style food in Malaysia. Pizza and spaghetti conquered the top 2 spots.

This mac and cheese was made yesterday for my younger sister who was really deprive for one.

Nope, she’s not pregnant

Quite a different version, with additional minced chicken, eggs and more herbs, it tasted equally fantastic.

As how I would alter it for a more Negeri Sembilan version of mac and cheese, I would have certainly put on sliced cili padi with a lot of sambal at the side

The only thing lacking was more cheese..

I’m a cheese monster!
