girl eats cake. Or cakes. Or cupcakes. A lot.

I love cakes!! love, love, love, love!

one of my early ambition is to be a pastry chef. or a wedding cake baker. I am not sure if i have what it takes to be one, but i still find it appealing. 

i have made quite a few cakes. Not really sure if they are as good as my loyal fans (sister, mom, brothers..emm, that's all of them anyway..hahaha!) say..but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth craving. 


I have started to completing my dream kitchen with mixer and oven and piping tips etc etc etc. and i have yet to feel satisfaction.

Maybe it is the lack of skills. or maybe me being unable to deliver constant result with my cakes..same recipe will always turn out differently everytime. i want to be able to sell cakes everyday..but i cant. i have a day job that requires me to spend immense time to prepare the lessons. so, the best i can do is an occasional cake order. and there isn't enough order. maybe my cake is not good, tak sedap or biasa aje...

how la all those bakers do? Mmg diaorg buat kek fluffy sepanjang masa eh? mmg sedap sentiasa eh? aku pernah makan kek org jual beratus2 hengget, tapi rasa macam beli kat kedai roti cina tu je. 

How? How? How? ish...tensen betul la..

confident?

Sang pengantin jantan, sang kekanda dan aku bincang tentang harga kek utk majlis perkahwinan kat Air hitam sini nanti. Purata untuk kek 9-10 inch guna icing buttercream (maybe krimwell berperisa butter) harganya RM200-250. Sebab aku dulu pun kek kahwin ada org sponsor so untuk aku harga tu agak mahal..sebab aku tau bakers komersial guna mostly srtificial flavouring je..tapi aku pun tau harga barang2 kek suma dah naik.

So, sang Arjuna hati ni suggest aku buatklan kek untuk adinda kami ni. nanti pengantin tanggung harga kos dan upah sikit la. hmmm...hilang akal sekejap kah suami ku ini..aku ni disuruh buat kek kahwin? hadoi la..mati akal..

diam-diam tangan aku gatal gak buat sketch kak tu..simple, do-able, preparable...mcm ni


pengantin agree dgn kaler biru tu...gulp..cantikl ke nanti...adoi la....ni la namanya takde keja cari keja...adoi la...

BTW, kek kahwin aku sempoi mcm ni je. kalau nak tau, lagi 2 hari nak majlis baru aku teringat yang aku takde kek. so aku tepon cikgu aku nangis2 mintak tolong dia buat kek choc moist setingkat je..jadi la jgn tak ada. sekali datang...hik hik hik..aku suka..yang penting kek tu habis dimakan...

Pelakon lelaki Malaysia yang cukup lelaki

These are some of my favourite actors. yg cukup asam garamnya bila keluar kat screen wayang atau tv. Walaupun sesetengahnya tu tak de la muka jantan sangat (no stubbles or muscles) tapi bila berkata-kata atau  tersenyum tu..wah..runtun kalbu betul...

Q Haidar 

Beto 

Eman Manan dan Zahiril Adzim

Adi Putra

Kalau diarang berlakon watak bangang2 pun aku tak kisah..sebab tak nmpk bangang pun.

Lagi-lagi yang emang manang tu...serius minat dia dari aku budak2 lagi..ekekekeke....rupa tiada, karisma ada...

sending money (duit hantaran?)

aku baru balik daripada hantar pengantin ke Perak weekend lepas. sepupu hubby. cantik pengantin pompuan tu..

biasa la, org pompuan kan... balik daripada majlis je mcm2 la komentar dan pandangan yang jadi topik. topik wajib : HANTARAN.

A: Berapa hantaran budak tu?
B: RM 8888.88
C: wah..nombor ala ong..ekekekekeke...
B: budak tu lawa.
D: pergh..sekolah setakat tingkatan 2 pun hantaran smpi 8k??? aku yg grad ni pun 6k je...
C: rezeki orang..

Berapa hantaran kau? hahahaha..jgn takut la...aku tak penah tanya benda ni kat kwn2 aku. hatta yang rapat sekalipun. sebab perkara ni sensitif. manusia kan, tinggi dikata jual anak, rendah dikata tak ikut kos kahwin semasa. (adakah perkahwinan itu satu perniagaan?)

tak kisah la berapa pun mak korang letak sebab korang anak diaorg..so sukahati parents korg la nak letak harga berapa. yang penting pada aku pihak lelaki tak merungut (di depan atau di belakang). sebab bila merungut dah jadi tak ikhlas nak kahwin dan..nanti jadi isu berbangkit plak di masa hadapan.

orang pompuan jangan la letak mahal2 kalau bakal pengantin lelaki kerja biasa2 atau baru nak mula kerja. kesian dia...jangan la masuk sekali kos mak andam dalam hantaran tu. pastu tak payah la nak buat paling hebat atau terkini atau tersendiri sangat..awak bukan artis pun. perlu sangat ke bertukar2 baju tu? inai berkeluk2 tu? dulang pinjam dari istana tu? perlu sangat ke? (ops, lupa plak..kahwin seumur hidup sekali..Insya Allah!)

orang lelaki pulak, tak reti2 nak kumpul duit? kurangkan rokok tu..kang makin tensen cari duit makin byk la hisap rokok sebab nak hilangkan tensen tu. mekap kereta ala kadar je, bang. nanti lepas kahwin baru tukar sport rim baru, ok. nak pakai tayar besar tayar traktor pun boleh.

ha,,kan aku dah membebel. tapi kat sini je la. siapa la aku nak mengajar org kan..sendiri pun carca marba.
apa? berapa hantaran aku? Murah jek, kak. ada la 3 bulan gaji cikgu KPLI baru ngajar. ekekekeke..hamba org marhaen, malu nak letak mahal2. Walaupun bapak saya pensyarah...ewah!

tapi ada baiknya jugak hantaran aku tak tinggi. kau imagine la kalau mak aku letak 10k. sekali after 8 years kawin, anak nan hadooo (maknanya takde la tu)...tak berbakul ke org kg mak mertua aku nak mengata aku...harap aje hantaran tinggi, hasil tarak! akak tak sanggup dik oi nak mendengar umpat keji org. Hahahaha..nampak tak hikmahnya?

tapi kalau kau rasa esok2 anak kau tu dapat first class degree ke, Anugerah Dekan ke...berbaloi nak letak 10k or 20k tu terpulang la. anak kau kan. Jangan esok ada yang berbunyi.."boleh buat masak ke Anugerah Dekan tu?"

malas tak hengat!

Assalamualaikum...

aduhai...lama betul tak post. malas rasanya. lagi pun not so much things to tell. same old, same old. raya mcm tu jugak. maybe kurang seronok sbb beraya dalam keadaan hati masih marah2 dgn somebody. too bad aku ni jenis forgive but not forget so rasa ada unfinished business. ok la..let it be. kita tgk perkembangan selanjutnya.

Dan aku suka sangat mengajar Year 1. tu la geng bergaduh, geng nyanyi2, geng borak2, geng main2 kat sekolah. this week full activities utk Hari Sukan so tak dpt nak jumpa diaorg. boring betul sbb mcm makan tak cukup garam bila tak jumpa year 1 tu...esp bdk geng gaduh aku ni..


what else...oh, i did quite a few cakes...hehehehe...walaupun tgh diet tapi nak jugak buat kek... baking is my lifelong obsession. dari aku kecik akan belek dan tenung lama2 apa2 juga resepi yg melibatkan kek dan pastri. makan kek pun adalah satu passion yg no diet can ever make it stop. ramai jugak yg bagi kata2 semangat. terima kasih la sangat2! ni yg buat aku lg rajin nak buat kek ni..ekekekeke...


still need more practice. bukan la nak berjualan sgt pun, lebih kepada nak memuaskan hati sbb sgt bengang dgn kualiti kedai kek kat kampung aku ni..ekekekeke...mana tau nanti dapat buka bakery kan?

retail therapy

some people shop because they have money. some shop even though they don't have any money. some people shop for fun. some people shop to celebrate. some shop because they are stressed. well, i am in the latter category.

I noticed a few years back that i have the tendency to shop for things when i am mad or stressed or angry. especially when angry. It started when i was in my first year of uni where i received the news that my dear grandma passed away. ( Al-Fatihah to her). so in a midst of anger and sadness i went out and bought a RM100 pair of shoes. a good one, i tell you. i felt better for a while because the happiness of owning something new masked the great loss in my heart.

Since then I noticed that i have been in that same pattern a few times. and last few days, i was mad at my hubby. so while a i was trying to control my anger he took me to Klang. what happened? i spent RM550 buying a lot of kain ela for jubah. about 10 of them. and i dont even like jubah! so right now I am a budding entrepeneuer selling kain ela to families and friends. how lovely is that? oh my, i hope i am not evolving into another shopaholic who would later have to confess her addiction..('confession of a shopaholic', get it?)

a day under the sun

PERKHEMAHAN KO-KURIKULUM SKPP 2012

Teluk Gorek, Mersing

ok, so these are not the camping photos. these are my niece, my hubby and me photos. biasa la...kitaorg mmg suka berposing.




I need a weekend getaway. so this time I didn't take pics of the camping kids. just the three of us and some anak2 cikgu. it's amazing how fast children can get along with each other. no prejudice. no agenda. why can't adults be like that?

one of our rare pics together. (wow, i look big!)


now i look REALLLLYYYY big next to the tiny girl.





Thanks to my forever designated driver, En. Hubby. At the end of the day, he had the most fun because he learned how to 'memukat ikan' courtesy of the resort owner. He has even thought of going back to Mersing for another holiday. YAY!

first cake

first time buat full size kek. Red Velvet utk kak esah. her baby's first besday. aku kata order la choc cake, kan bdk2 suka choc. apa dia jawab.."ala budak setahun apa la dia tahu sedap ke tak..tekak aku ni yg nak mkn.." sempoi ko kak...


okay, okay...korg dah selalu tgk kek lagi canggih manggih kan...tp ni kan first time aku buat kek..ekekeke..kasik can la...

menggelabah sbb ptg tu cuaca panas, tak hujan dah dua hari, so creamcheese cepat cair. pastu the fruits kept sliding off the cake. sabar je lah. mmg buat lg 2 jam nak deliver, sbb taknak simpan lama2 dlm my unreliable fridge.

alhamdulillah..kak esah suka! yay!

not bad for first timer kan?  (hidup mesti perasan...)

ari tu mak suruh buat ni..

red velvet yg tak berapa red sbb food coloring  'wes entek'

untuk bff dia, GPK 1 sklh aku sbb nk celebrate birthday org tu. sbb ada lebih dlm beberapa cwn aku bwk la buat jamah kwn2 semeja aku..rupanya masing2 pegi roundkan satu bilik guru.  dpt la msg2 rasa sorg sesudu dua.

tup tup..ada la plak sorg akak ni nk order dgn aku kek ni. tp x nak version cupcake, dia nak full size punya. alamak..aku ckp la aku tak penah buat kek saiz biasa tp dia kat dia nak jugak sbb kek ni sedap. dia tak penah rasa red velvet....maklum la, kat pt raja mana la ada kedai kek canggih manggih mcm kat bndr besar kan...siap bg semangat lg....'boleh la lin..akak suka sgt kek ni...try buat dulu..decorate simple2 pun takpe'..

wish me luck, people...Chaiyok Lin!!!

musim kenduri kendara

cuti sekolah. actually cuti ujung tahu aje yg betul2 cuti utk ramai guru..(bkn semua guru ye sbb agak ramai juga guru kategori pengelat under the radar a.k.a skip kerja). seperti biasa org Johor akan sibuk rewang. maksudnya sama2 tolong tuan rumah buat kerja2 pra kenduri, kenduri dan post kenduri. klu diukur dpd KPI keluarha aku rewang tu termasuk la kupas bawang, siang ayam, potong daging, bsuh ayam, basuh daging, blender bawang, basuh bender, masak, MAKAN, basuh pinggan mangkuk periuk belanga, lipat kertas napkin, basuh telur, rebus telur, bla bla bla bla bla...penat.

tapi sedar atau tak dalam reramai manusia sedara mara yg dtg 'rewang' ada beberepa kategori utama yg kita boleh kelaskan mereka ini.

1) the chefs - ni usually akak2 dan makcik2 yg tera dan dihormati akan skil memasak mereka. keperluan memasak selalu dirujuk kpd mereka. dan mereka yg boleh diharap akan dipilih utk menjadi sous chef yakni pembantu chef utk buat kerja rencam seperti ambikkan gula, ambikkan garam, hiriskan daun bawang dan lain2. ini kerana chefs are usually too heavy to carry themselves up and down so they just sit nearby the periuk cooking.

2) the orang kuat - all rounder...runner..the backbone of majlis. usually org yang paling rajin dlm keluarga tu. org kanan tuan rumah atau mak pengantin. ni la yang paling pnat pun sbb selalunya rmi org akan tanya dia utk rujuk mana letak duduk barang atau keperluan majlis.

3) the baby sitter - org yang 'paling' penyayang dengan anaknya. anak akan dikelek dan dipeluk dan ditatang. esp kalau ada anak kecik. walau pun budak tu tak nangis. walaupun budak tu tak demam. walau pun budak tu tak tido. WALAUPUN SEBELUM MAJLIS DIA TAK PERNAH PUN JAGA BUDAK TU SBB SUMANYA MAK DIA YG BUAT. 

4) the make up artist - org yang belum majlis belum siap, mak andam belum sampai tapi dia dah full face bermekap. siap buku mata palsu lagi. so dgn keadaan dia yg serba indah tu org mmg takkan suruh dia buat kerja berat. habis la mekap cair. so buat apa? susuk je la cari prospek husband  atau lebih afdal lagi mengumpat.

5) the frontman - org yang akan tolong kerja2 yang memerlukan dia layan tetamu khas atau jamu menjamu tetamu atau layan VIP. tolong2 buat hiasan ke...tolong pengantin ke...tapi sgt alah kpd kerja yang basah, panas, berat. busuk atau takde org kenal dia. kalu majlis itu di ibaratkan sebuah rumah, maka org seperti ni adalah peti pos bernombor.

books! book!

went to the Big Bad Wolf sale! i went nuts... walupun penat giler sbb on friday tu kena gi melaka bawak bdk2 rombongan, tp ku gagahi jua ke serdang on saturday afternoon. sempat plak amik parents kat pt raja. that nite, gi Bagan Lalang for seafood feast. my bro's treat (thanks bday boy!).

the next day, after an early bfast of hearty nasi dagang we went to the venue hoping we would be among the firsts to get into the hall. whoohoooo!!!!!! there were only 10 cars and the shuttles pun blm start lagi. so gediks-ly me sis and i lined up for about 45 minutes...boy, were we patient. i wonder why i am not this penyabar in a traffic jam?


the opened, i was in ecstacy at the sight and smell of tonnes of books...i could die happy there... so after 2 hours and a grumpy husband, i forked out RM360 for books. 

see the one in stripes? he got a coffe table book about english footbal history,
reward for being less grumpy than he  should have been..
(please excuse the unsightly sight of  someone's rearview)

now, to find time to actually read those books....

permintaan dpd kengkawan. mintak buatkan cupcakes untuk dijual di Hari Terbuka.

alamak...nak buat kek apa? klu ikut2 favourite ramai choc cupcakes la jawabnya. takkan tu aje. nak buat vanilla ke? boring la perasa tu. emmm...mcm nak buat hazelnut choc. ishh...

hmm...sempat buat satu resepi choc yg modalnya kurang dan rasanya sedap. frosting apa eh? asik buttercream jek. buat creamcheese mcm best tp pandai ke org makan cheese tu? pening betul la...and at the same time excited sbb dpt alasan utk buat kek.

Ambitious? you bet. Impossible? not entirely out of reach. Salivating already? good, because i am. as a matter of fact, i've been thinking bout those calorie-ladden sinful food for a week now. no, not thinking. CRAVING. and no, i'm not with a child. @ least not yet.
