Apa yang penting kerjasama
Kami tak besar, kami tak kuat
bila kerjasama
semua jadi mudah ..

I like this theme song! It reminded me when I was at 10th Floor, when HR used to be centralized. There were only, 1 assistant, 3 executives, 4 managers, one senior manager (Sha) and headed by a VP, Pn Mastura.

Yup, we were small considering having to manage nearly 1500 employees; but we managed to pull it through. We quarrel and we screamed at each other but at the end; we made up and moved on. We criticized one another but when one about to fall, all of us will help to pull her up.

And the best was, when one of us were scolded, all three will face the same penalty! Yup, I can still remember the scream ... 'Niza, Roksana, Nina, Eja... Come Here!' and all of us will look at each other thinking ... o gosh, what have we done now.

And because of that, all four of us were as close as sisters .... until today, three years later.

Faces of HR

15 September 2009. One by one of my colleagues leaving the company. Last week was Fakhrul, and this week would be Sha's last week.

I'm glad that Haneem, Rafek, Linda, Min, Maz, Zura.. are still around. At least I'm not the only one from the old batch left! The seven survivors -- as at to-date. YeeHaa!

Ooops before I get sued, please note that the design above was inspired by Su Delectables -- Su Yin, if you happen to read this post. Jangan marah ye.. Yours is of course much better :)

Lavender Kebayas

12 September 2009. I think my creativity skills is on status quo ~ no progress; especially when the client says 'up to you'. Alahai ... absolutely clueless!

So suggested the kebayas (AGAIN!) since I can't think of anything. Hmm if I am a writer, this syndrome is called 'mental block' but what do we call this? Baker's Block? Hahahaha my fellow TESLIANs need your help here ..

Anyway, back to my designs, repeated as you can see but the slight difference is only the Lilies; and that was also inspired by Wiz (Didn't I say I have a 'baker's block'?)

Now, if you were me, what would you design for a 42 year old lady? One of my best buddies, Nina is 41 but she likes Fiona & Shrek! Well, obviously she's one kinda lady ~ loved by many, adored by most.

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 :)

Alfa Romeo

5 September 2009.

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..

5 September 2009.

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..
