That's ok... Everything happens for a reason :)

Another tired yet productive weekend :)
I feel dreadful every time Sunday arrives as it signals me that Monday is coming,
and i have to crack my brain to find more projects and do lots of follow ups ><"
Why can't i make money while i'm sleeping just like the bald headed guy in the marketing seminar i went to?
He bragged about how he bought an expensive sports car with cash...
Having difficulty choosing lunch between Japanese food or Korean food (while others home cooked or went for KFC or McD value meals) yet still making money while he sleeps, breathe or do business in the toilet.
Envy him.
Hope this coming November i'll be able to figure it all out as what I'm currently doing just doesn't work =_="

My 2nd day of detox plan failed as i keep on forgetting to take my proper detox drink routine while doing my part time work.
I even forgot to drink water, felt dehydrated and suffered from headache *pfft
Just realized i didn't sit all day as i was having too much fun selling those cupcakes and consulting the customers ^_^
At least to energized myself, I bought yogurt and banana for breakfast and snack on my way back with mama just now.
Must not keep those carbs away. Need em to keep me going ;)


Hehe... they say i looked like a boy with my hair put behind my ear and the hat on my head XD
Hung-hung (the one in glasses) almost didn't recognize me when she arrived in the morning lol.



We had Nasi Ayam German for lunch.
My grandma is catering lunch and dinner for Boutique Cupcakes during weekend starting this week :) *thanks Mei*
Was glad all of them loved the food :)


Heh :P This was taken by Desmond.
Sudahlah my muka naturally look garang (!!!) *despite my cheerful character* he continuously tried to take an ugly candid photo of myself than it already is XD
Unfortunately for him, most got deleted with lots of body pinching in between hohoho XD


We also have new members in the baking team, Eddie and Jing Cheng.


Today's custom design is treated by Jing Cheng :)


I must say that we have a great baking team with lots of creative talents.
Angeline can finally take a breather once in awhile :)



Oh! Kittens are doing fine.
Took lots of photos but keep on forgetting to upload them :P
They are few days away to 8 weeks old now :)


Oh no... the girl kitten's photo are in the HTC phone :( *will upload it soon*
Fed them cat wormer including Trisha the mother last week.
Their silent fart is killing me =_="
Trisha is as usual, being picky with food and always crave for wet food.
Kittens on the other hand are easy to take care off.
They eat whatever given to them (Friskies food of course) and one of the kittens love being fed by hand :p
When you feed him, he'll bite the friskies one by one while others eating directly from the food bowl ^_^

At the current situation, I'm not sure till when will I be permitted to take care of them as the rightful owner(s) are planning to take them away.
In the mean time, I'll just continue whatever i'm doing to make them healthy and away from harm.


After what happened last week, i've been gathering my thoughts and trying to answer endless questions.
I was seek for help, i helped.
An advice was given, but it was taken wrongly (again).
And now, I'm part of the enemy of the kingdom.
Instead of being mature and talk to me directly, the private conversation that i'm replying to was shared and wrongly translated by a bad and confused translator.
I wonder where is the logical thinking person I once knew gone too.
I thought the older we get the closer and wiser we'll become.
But i forgot that sometimes the older you get, the more egoistical you'll become especially when you are career, financially and emotionally independent.
Hrmm.. I think i have made a wrong move to even care at the first place.
I should as always, mind my own business, and realise that i'm somewhat only needed when necessary.
Nevertheless, I don't regret every single thing that happened.
I have said what i have to and should say, the rest is for you to swallow and think.
"Everything happens for a reason. Every action has a reaction. Always remember that what's meant to be will always find a way to come about.”
Loved this quote.
So let's not make this world any more sadder and angrier than it already is,
I shall hop to the happy side and think of my own happiness :)

Kays! Rambling time over.
Sleep time.
Nite222!

Hari Raya 2010 & Mel's surprise belated bday bash!

While others are enjoying their extended holiday,
am currently stuck in office questioning why my dad is a PHD doctor and not an actual doctor.
If he is a medical doctor, I would have asked for fake MC and let me have another week to sleep and enjoy my tv series at home XD LOL!

As i mentioned before, my Hari Raya celebration this year was moderate but really meaningful nonetheless.

2 days before Raya, my family and I went to visit my late grandpa's grave.


It has been 2 years since he last with us :)
I hope he is happy and protected wherever he is right now.


Our 1st day of Raya started of as usual;
We went to the mosque for Raya prayer, then headed back home and glamorised ourselves before beraya with our own family (AND get duit raya hohoho) :)


Being the youngest in the family,
Nadia once again has her pocket full with duit raya from all of us. Cis!


Before we beraya at my grandma's house,
it's a common practice for us to go to Istana (where the TYT resides) with our parents.


Unlike last year, the interior Hari Raya setting this year was less captivating.
But all in all, we enjoyed the food served.


I didn't eat a lot as i was saving my tummy for my grandma's cooking.


At Wan's place, what else would i look forward to then my grandma's Nasi Ayam German and Serunding Daging... *yummmmmmmmmm*!!!!


What made our Hari Raya extremely extra meaningful was the fact that this year, BB as well as my sis fiance joined us in all of our Hari Raya outing :)
It really felt like a bigger family :)


BB also joined our 'berziarah' practise for the first time this year :)


I also berziarah with BB to seek for his forgiveness.


But not fair(!) how come man don't say sorry to the woman too? Ceh.
But no worries, we forgive each other sincerely :P

During previous Hari Raya, TYT and CM's open house was held on the same day (1st day of Hari Raya).
As Hari Raya falls on Friday this year, our CM decided to have his open house for everyone on 2nd day (Saturday) to give way to all muslims to go for Friday prayer after TYT's open house.

In my opinion, I believe it would be better if he can maintain it for future years as it gives ample time for people to visit their immediate family member on the first day of Raya :)


Kak Niza and family also came to visit at night.
My my... has Syabil and Bella grown a year bigger XD


Food that night was AWESOME especially the Rendang that Ezwan's mom coked for us.
It was OMG delicious!!!! *om nom nom*
Am not a fan of rendang... but THIS rendang makes you go nuts!
Sluuurp!!!!
I want to order from her next time for mini gathering ^^


Oh! With the kids around, we have a valid excuse to pay bunga api too! *yey*! XD


Lol! Look at the young wizard XD
It was fun joining the kids to play... but man... we were pissed at the quality of the fire crackers.
All masuk angin! =_="
It stopped halfway while we were playing it!
BB didn't join us as he had a bad experience with firecrackers when he was little *aww*


On day-3 of Raya, BB and I went to Syariff's place in the morning b4 heading to my neighbour's open house right after.
At Syariff's, we played card game lead by Shahrul and had KFC for lunch XD
Oh! Other than Syarrif's house, I also joined BB to Adam/Hangman's house for the first time this year (Day-1).
Thank you all for your hospitality ^_^
I nom nom-ed non stop *huhuhu*

Last open house that we went to *before i dreadfully dragged myself to work on Monday* was Dtk Yahaya's house escorting my parents.
Protocol was important, so we didn't get to monkey around hehe :P

+++++

Another thing that made me happy this Raya is that Mel came back to KK with new family member, Seri Celestial! ^^
Since it's not that often we get to get together, and that we have not celebrated Mel's birthday for more than 5 years now, I decided to throw her a surprise belated birthday and congrats party especially for her :)


Since i kind of last minute thought about throwing Mel a surprise bday party,
I made an arrangement with Nestor, head chef of Sailors' Cafe for a great food package, Aunty Florence (Mel's mom) to make sure she CAN come *else everything will be meaningless* and also with Richie to gather the whole family for the night.
Huhuhu... couldn't done it without them ^_^

Angeline was kind enough to accept my last minute cupcake order too :)
And as expected of Angeline, the cupcake was delicious and received many good points from guests.

If you want to order cupcakes for your future event, call Boutique Cupcakes at 0168262508 or you can always visit them here.


Thanks to Seri's last minute nappy change, Mel arrived later than expected.
Hence, gave us ample time to finish up our express polaroid project ^_^


When Mel arrived, she saw my parents and quickly approached them (we were behind her).
We were quiet hesitated on what to do next... and since the candle was melting, we went ahead and shouted surprise + sang Happy Birthday song.

It was awkward as we sang while facing her back =_="
*Ish... I told my parents to hide from the scene but they wouldn't listened ><"*
But whatever it is, she was speechless. hahaha *fail~* XD



Nestor prepared us a great food package with massive portion!
The food kept on coming and coming till my guests begged me to stop feeding them hahahaha!


The food selection was more actually, but i didn't manage to take all pictures *busy eating, sorry~~*
But just in case you wondering what we ate.. below is the menu for only RM25 nett/pax.

Soup
Chicken Wings
Garlic Bread
Teriyaki Beef Balls
Cajun Spice Chicken
Lamb Shoulder Asam Pedas
Tenggiri with kunyit
Rice
Kangkung belacan
Icecream & Fresh Fruits Medley

For future private events, just call up Nestor (Sailors Cafe) at 0168319938. You can also set your budget and he will work on the menu for you ;)

While others have their own special present for Mel, I decided to buy her something that she can record her own memory with.
Yeaps.. it sounded like a camera isn't it? :P
But not just any kind of camera *heh*
I bought her a POLAROID!


When i saw the surprised look on her face,
I exhaled happily and thought to myself "SANGAT TAK MENYESAL BELI POLAROID!!! XD"
It's not as troublesome as traditional camera where you have to run to the shop and develop the films, and it is also not as canggih as digicam where u can take millions of pictures at a time till every shot taken isn't too special anymore.
*happy*happy*happy*

Here are more cool presents from Ophelia and Leena :)


For Seri, BB and I bought her Cupipi!


Mel, if you are reading this, 10 years ago, all of us finished SPM exam not knowing what life has installed for us.
We thought Leena gonna get married first, and I will be staying in KL and build a life there;
WHO would have known that you will find your one and only true love and get married first, reside in KL permanently (despite being a family person), create your own animation studio as what you've dreamed of before and be the first to have beautiful Seri Celestial.
For that, we all would like to say Congratulations for achieving great gifts in life one step at a time.
Keep hopping on your life stepping stone and discover more surprises ahead.
We all love you VERY VERY VERY MUCH!


Oh... emo sebentar... *sobs*
