    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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~

    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 :)

    Salam 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 :)

    Salam and a good hello to all.

    Last week was probably the busiest week in May. The school holiday started, mak and ayah had safely arrived on Saturday. My sister came home in great spirit. Orders were pouring in from more new clients. We had successfully catered for 2 weddings and a few ‘hantaran’. Several birthday cakes orders along the way. I thought I could take a break, then, as always, I couldn’t. We went and watched movie yesterday and I still received several phone calls throughout the day. Nah, my mum did say that I can’t enjoyed the school holidays as everybody else does. Hmm.. a path I chose aite?

    I’ve enjoyed every second of the day with my mum and dad around. Mum had an eagle eye for every single thing we’ve missed to spot. Very cool. And very instinctively motherly, don’t you think? I admit we had left the house in quite a ‘nice’ condition since she left. Haha.. And the moment they decided to come home, me and my sisters started a clean-up ‘operation’, not because we want to impress them, it’s just a show-tell of “Mak, you can rely on us, we can take care of the house”. Although our mission had successfully accomplished, it was not from my mom’s point of view. She’s the supermum~ :)

    A couple of pics will be up soon. For these few more days’ time, we will be busy again. My parents will be heading north tomorrow night. I, on the other hand will have to start my quest in searching for a reliable assistant. Anyone?

    Would love to have an early bedtime. Night everyone.

    Best regards :)
