London Bridge is calling me ..

There's no cake pictures to be displayed today but I need to write my thoughts down or else I can't sleep!

My MBA mates called me today, persuading me to join them (earlier they said they are not going!) to go for our graduation in London. Gosh!! I really wish I could follow them but the graduation date is on 26th November 09, end of autumn and beginning of winter! And I can't stand being cold!

But I really wanna go as I've never been to London and this is a good reason for me to go. Marina offered me to stay with her aunt while we are there ... so at least I don't have to think about accommodation.

But I still need to spend on flights, my graduation fee, food and of course, winter clothes.. It's going to cost me a bomb, and on top of it I have already committed to the boys that I'll take for a holiday to Penang in December. I have bought the ticket but need to book the rooms which going to cost me at least RM 1500 excluding food and other miscellaneous expenses.

Gosh.. this is difficult. If I want to go, I need to make maximum effort to increase my cake sales. But would it be enough time?

Sometimes I wish I could just be 'woman' and let everything being taken care off. No bills to think about, no fees --- nothing and probably just the 'additional' expenses ... Then probably I would have signed in for this trip without having to think twice!

Syasya's Make Up Set

6 September 2009. Today is already Sunday. Hmm this weekend has been very tiring. I brought back some work home, thinking I could slot in some time completing it. What was I thinking then? Having 3 orders back to back? Hahaha ... yup I am the person who thinks she came from Krypton. (I still think I could complete it ~probably after Sahur hmm)

Anyway, I'm glad that I decided to accept this order. It's for my ex colleague who happens to be my team mate's girl, for her sister (confusing? heheh did it on purpose!) . At least I got to revised the skills learn from Kak Nadzah's handbag & makeup class, and Angeline's pastilage (how to spell this.. isy spelling fail!) class.

Oh Girls Just Wanna Have Fun :)

Sometimes I felt like it's getting out of hand with this cake business .. especially late at night or early dawn when everyone else in the house were sleeping except for me, slogging myself in the kitchen.

But every time I felt like quiting, Syukrie's music lesson fee, his tuition and the boys private religious school fee came flashing in ... And that cute frock for my lil princess Sofia .. And Sabrie's Drama school.

And they have been, again ... as always, kept me moving on..

Woke up at 1am, bake the cuppies. Fallen asleep at 5am while feeding Ad'Din. Woke up again at 7am and non stop working until 4pm. Met the client the Curve, waited about an hour. Then ran to pay my MAXIS. Came home nearly 6.30pm.

About 45 mins later had a quick breakfast with family and left again to deliver another set to Kajang / Bangi. Got lost again ~ as usual (ngaaa I NEED A GPS!). And had to asked them to fetch me at UNITEN ..

Reached home about 10pm... Two orders down, one more to go.... O gosh --- so penat! Need to take some rest.. Really, really pooped and exhausted..

Pasar Ramadhan

23 August 2009. I am selling this little cuppies at Pasar Ramadhan DBKL, Pantai Dalam. It's together with Otak-Otak Kempas.. hahaha hopefully it won't melt because of the heat! Imagine this ... the Otak-Otak in a basket -- and tadaaaa... a three tier cupcake stands with cute cuppies. Later I'll post the picture here.

Let's see how it goes -- testing market je ni. Sila la datang la jenguk :)

Flower Basket for Mama..

23 August 2009.

This is for my Aunt who is leaving to Macca on her birthday, 24th August 2009.

Her daughter in law, Ida who ordered this cuppies. She is not just a cousin by marriage but more of a good friend of mine, a person who you can talk too when in doubt.

She helped me to get the cookie alphabet embosser (see the happy birthday note) and surprisingly, as bonus she gets me a Hello Kitty pan as well. Waahhh it's a spot on gift! Love it so much ..

I wrote to Gina about it and this is what she replied

"Niza..so it was you!
She wanted to get the Cupcake stand for you. But I told her in Malaysia, there are plenty of such things around. its the Hello Kitty bake pan that is rare to find.

She also went wild looking at the stuff even though she told me she couldn't bake and had to rely on you for all the pastries."

Hmm if her description of Ida as 'went wild looking' -- I wonder what would she said if I were there instead!! Hahaha -- probably 'frantically grabbing everything!'

Well this cake decorating really gets into me! But I am glad I ventured into this .. As I said earlier, it takes me off my troubles ..
