Perisa blueberry, my favourite~!

Day past by, and its been months since the last I watched Hantu Kak Limah, apparently above quote still linger in my head. Blame it on Usop. haha.



Significantly with the tittle, for those who might know me well - I do get orders occasionally for cheesecakes. This month alone, I've made 6 cheesecakes which I swear I do not wish to neither see nor to taste anymore cheesecake this month (ok, now is already at the end of April and May is not counted. teehee) Not to proclaimed neither to brag, I never ever thought that my cheesecakes are gonna be a hit. Thanx to online recipes, go internet!

I had a last minute order for 2 cheesecakes and the due is on Friday. So after work yesterday, I took a little ride to my faithful favourite bakery supply in Shah Alam. And I confirmed with my client for the flavour and she agreed on 2 blueberry cheesecakes. (yes! if she picks other flavours I might need to take a little tour to Subang Jaya to get the toppings).

So this morning, I woke up feeling gleefully as I wanna settle all my banking errands before I off to work, which after breakfast I came to realize 'bummer, I have 2 more cheesecakes pending'. Switching my gear, I decided to postponed my banking errands and march myself to the kitchen.

After few interuptions by my neighbor (I have to say, wrong timing and me in wrong mood to be disturbed), as I picking up my mood to stay optimistic thru the day - I received a text message from my client:
Hi, I would like to change my order to 1 blueberry cheesecake and 1 strawberry cheesecake. Please.
And I received that message at almost 12noon, the cake is not done and I have to be in office by 1.30pm which the next time I am gonna be home is midnight. Trust me, I was screaming my lungs out - I had a major blow out. I mean, enough u had done a last minute order and now u want to switch flavours in like super last minute? Heck no! You thing I got no other things to do, is it? You think I got so much leisure time to go to Subang is it? That is why I confirmed with you on the flavour the day before. Have to remember, yours truely have a fulltime job, ok. I seriously have issues with people who make fun of my little life. So, as hard as it feels for me - I have to be firm, so big NO.

Thru out the hodgepodge, my mom offered that she could fetch the strawberry toppings later afternoon. To hear that makes me feel such a bless. My mom is such an angel, a life and mood saver. She rocks! And there goes two cans of strawberry toppings blanketting my New York Cheesecakes and a can of blueberry to cover the smaller one.

It was a nerve-wrecking day. No more last minute order please!

Put My Things Down, Flip It and Reverse It

For the past few months had been quite a chaotic ride. Loads of cleaning - done. Loads of moving - done. Loads of refurbishing - done. Loads throwing stuff out - done. It has been months since my house gone under renovation and it feels like forever. The due date is way beyond past and we're expecting it to be end at least... in 2 weeks from now. But hey, I guess they are doing quite a good job - though we have to put an extra effort to keep on monitoring their finishing works. Tips on revamping house: always, (and I mean it) always pay extra attention to the details. (to avoid situation "lain yang kita suruh, lain yang contractors buat")

As tremendous of digging work done thru the old stuffs (this is what I like bout moving/major renovating house), my mom stumbled into some old photos that been kept in the drawer for ages and also survived flash flood in 2006.





Not so surprise, I always been looking so evil even though at young age. Haha

Financially wise had been quite bumpy road for the past few months too. Blame me on forgetting to put aside some cash for roadtax and car insurance. Shish. In result, a very sadistic financial status been frigging around me like no ones business. Amazing that I survived without doing any extra personal loans from my peers. I guess if you have a faith in yourself and keep yourself grounded, God will always guide you regardless thru thick and thin. Alhamdulillah... things had been not so bad at all.

As my age turns 25 earlier this month, I'd been getting more and more wedding invitations than ever! Back then I always thought that wedding invitations are for grown ups. So, I presume that I am a grown up now, and my friends are all getting married at this age - which leaves me to figure what hold for me in future. I will never know. But, I never really like being a grown up, too much issues. I still wanna stay in my la-la-land and go heck with the world. Yeah, sounded kinda selfish there, wasn't I? Someone did said to me 'be mature when u needed to - such as sitting for exams or getting married/solemnize, other than that maturity is unnecessary". Sounds good to me though. =)
