my desperate attempt in putting every single thing that happened in a very long time in words... observe...

my attempt starts now...

HAPPY RAMADHAN everyone!!! this year ramadhan is even more special cause i have my own family, and we have our own house.

oh oh the one thing that caught my eye yesterday while i was on the way back from picking up apple crumble from my parent's place (tq mummy) was...
a guy, old enough to be my father i think (cause he has gray hair) brisk walking under the scorching hot sun in RAMADHAN with his ipod and reading... wait for it, the Holy Quran.
i was stunned with nothing but respect for this man... i wouldn't imagine myself...
1. walking outside
2. under the hot sun
3. during Ramadhan
whoever you are, i respect you n hope to be you someday.

lets see, what's next...
oh yeah... in the light of what is happening in Malaysia, my husband caught the Influenza A virus. as a result of that, we have isolated him from our son, Muhammad Adam Danish... which although was the right thing to do, was hard for the both of us. We had to spend the first day of Ramadhan separate. N Adam didn't get to see daddy for 5 days! But everything went back to normal yesterday and although Awan is still wearing a mask, at least he was around. And i got back to being my lazy self while watching DVD until i fell asleep.

Oh yes, Nur Aiman Qistina, my brother's baby girl is officially one year old today... so happy bday qish qish!!! i love you no matter how naughty you are. =)

Nur Aiman Qistina (1 year young)

What else can i cramp into this post... Oh yeah, starting next week, we will be baking our kuihs for hari raya. We managed to get 50 orders. That's not bad for beginners right? he he he... can't wait! baking with good company is really fun. Half the time is gone with the three of us crapping away... next week... TO THE OVEN!!!

gotta get back to work! see you later!

when mummy meets pedro...

last sunday, mummy went depressed and crazy.
she woke up late.
practically persuaded hubby to go buy breakfast.
and slept for another 2 hours.
woke up.
felt extremely hungry.
and cooked indomee. or was it ibumie?
anyway, mummy wasn't happy..
she needed to see pedro...
pedro... ooo pedro...
pedro was super special coz hubby got pedro too...
im talking about the shoes...
haaa.... shoes....
even better... paid-by-someone-else-shoes...
heaven... hahahaha!

other than that, this mummy is on a mission to finish all her work...
which is impossible... but mama's maid is coming home soon so at least my house is settled. the unfolded mountain of clothes and un-ironed clothes will be put to it's place. yay!

mr adam danish is gallivanting all over the house in his walker. we even had to reconfigure our furniture so that he could walk around the house. i miss him.

oh and as for the drama drama drama in my life, i have decided to put a blind eye to it.
why? you may ask... because... i don't care about you enough to let you ruin my mood.
i don't like it when you mess with my friends.
me being somewhat superior to other people doesn't mean that i'm a normal person.
f*ck you losers. you are shallow and so kampung-like.
i particularly lose respect to those who talk behind other people's back.
i have been nothing but nice to you and you had to stab all over that by... i don't know what you did... or how you did... but you are spiteful. and you don't deserve any attention from us. from now on, you are just a person i see almost everyday. you to me as good as a mannequin in the shop windows. lifeless and heartless.

in the mad search for perfection

one of the criteria to being a messed up mummy is the stubborness and unwillingness to accept the fact that perfection doesn't happen.

notwithstanding the fact that i have a great life, i also have too many unfinished business.
my credit card bills, my overbubbling evolving work, my desire to start a small cookie business, my erupting volcano of unfolded clothes...

this is me not trying to whine, cause i know despite of my lil baggages, i have an amazing hubby, gorgeous son, amazing family, extremely fun and supportive workmates and gorgeous friends. i have the best support system anyone could imagine.

so amazing that i keep on having amazing weekends after amazing weekends. last night my friends agreed to stay overnight at my place as the hubby was away at Langkawi. we cooked dinner, and our lasagne was ready just before midnight and we feasted while watching Confessions of a Shopaholic before dozing off in front of the TV. ahh... bliss.

we woke up late, (as expected) but made it to work only 11 minutes late! not bad huh? anyway, tomorrow i'm bringing adam to get his shots. then we have a housewarming event at Aishah's place which i can't wait since i can't even remember when was the last time we met!

oh and we're making cookie samples again tomorrow! :)

we've sold 24 'balangs' and we need more!!!

mad weekend!

i had an awesome weekend last week. it started with...

Exhibit 1:
sample making for our mini business. (if you can call it a business)
here are the finished product...
sugi @ Rm18/50 pieces
chocolate nestum @ RM20/50 pieces
pineapple tart @ RM23/50 pieces
you see for now we only have 3 products as we are starting small... so that we could focus on the yumminess!

melt-in-your-mouth tarts

OH OH... and then we had a roadtrip to batu pahat for our colleagues wedding! pictures on the way since i have used my limit for photo capacity. :)

on the way back, our wee family stopped in Malacca for an overnite stay in Renaissance Hotel. Gorgeous place with complimentary baby cot. and junk food basket and a plate of gourmet chocolate. so good especially after that 4 hour long drive.

came back on sunday and the three of us got affected with very very bad food poisoning and had MC for 2 days. not a very good ending to our weekend but at least the three of us had some quality time together, on the bed! :p

will be back with the photos. i promise!

the lowest of low

it's been quite sometime since i last felt down, angry and sad all at once.
work has been bugging me, as usual.
however, what was the most stable thing for me suddenly was shaken to the core just yesterday.
and it was the tip of a very sensitive iceberg.
maybe it's time to let go, yes...
but to ask me to let go only for a while... and without the decency to give me time to adjust, that is just low.
i am angry because eventho i am a mother first, i still have work and can not abandon at short notice.
i am sad because that person expected me to alter my feelings
and i am down because for a long time now i haven't been able to complete anything without having something else coming in the way.

my little khalifah!

i've been wanting to put this photo up for so long! finally someone (my sis) was kind enough to upload it and my mum emailed it to me today. so people, enjoy. he is my one and only prince, my Muhammad Adam Danish, the reason why i still have my crazy routine at work, so i could provide the best for him. it's amazing how when he smiles, all your troubles could melt away... so here, hopefully he could make u smile too!

cheers, mummy adam!

~my new pen & bracelet~

i am a true believer in karma...
having said that, i've been very content with my life for a while now...

i actually had something else to say but ive lost my train of thoughts thanks to my husband asking for QS advice, free of charge!

i'll be back!
