Not gOoooooDdDddd

I can't even upload any picture. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! I was really in the mood to share some of my newly amended cuppies & also my marble cheese cake!!! Why do I have to sign in to...I dont even know what was it call...just to upload the pictures. This is not making it easy but rather making it more & more difficult.

MULTIPLE CUPCAKES

My family knows that I just love to bake but as usual, it all depends on my mood. If I am in the greatest mood of all then I will just start baking. For last month alone I have been making cupcakes. I browse thru the web to find the recipe of OREO CUPCAKE. I cant remember which one but I think I was using the one from Martha Stewart. As for the frosting I got it from hmmmm somewhere. I just don't remember anymore. Anyhow, here it what my cupcake look like.

OREO CUPCAKE
Use mini oreo but mine is the normal size as I dont have the minis on hand. Display purposes only

I have also made several other cupcakes as I goes. Try different recipes for the heck of it. All from different web and minor tweak on the recipes as I go along.

MOIST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE
A bit of coffee added to enhance the test and it was a good decision on my end even if I do  not drink coffee. 

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE
Melted Chocolate is mix in the dough instead of Cocoa so the test is different from Moist Chocolate Cupcake above above.

KIT KAT CUPCAKE
Cherry on top is the Mini Bites Kit Kat and I have  insert kit kat too inside the cupcake. About have stick is enough

MARS BAR CUPCAKE
Instead of cutting the Mars into small pieces I just cut 1 Bar into 4 then put on top.

RED VELVET
Next time I will cut in half so you can see the inside

So for the month of November I might want to try other recipes. Will update the soonest.

CANDIES!!!!!

I made two batches of these already and I start selling it. It was for fun at 1st but then I got hook doing these and the same sorts. Will upload more as much as possible. When I have the time to update my blog that is.

Rather sweet but really nice. It actually took me like 5-6 hours to finish it from mixing, to rolling, to chilling & dipping in chocolate sauce. YES!!! that is how long it take coz only myself & I doing this. If I have extra hands I might be able to reduce the time or maybe a machine. Possible? Anything is possible. How do you think all those big brothers or sisters do (the organisation).

COCONUT ALMOND CANDY

I made Strawberry Mint Candy but I forgot to take picture after dipping but below is the pic taken before dipping. Can you imagine that. Taste lovely.

STRAWBERRY MINT CANDY (Before Chocolate  Coating)

And the following is my favourite...really yummy when it come to anything from cornflakes.

HONEY ALMOND CORNFLAKES MINI BITES

Mom's 62th Birthday!!!

Today is the day that my mom turn 62th. Wow! and yet we cannot celebrate with her as she have function tonight. Maybe will arrange something for her lunch time or as definitely not tonight or maybe hi-tea time coz it's almost 10am now and it's Wednesday so basically I have to arrange it with my lil' sister only or maybe include our big bro in this. Let see how it goes. Will update accordingly. LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Muffin Today for the Family

Am making muffin today!!!! wuHOoooo not that it was 100% perfect but it was ok. Not enough raisins but can still make do. Moist! That's the most important part. Yes yes yes. Have a look & tell me what you think. Not that am that bothered.

What I Made Today

Imagine I woke up at approximately 3.30am as I thought my son fall off his bed which he was not after my hubby check on him. Tossing around till 4.15am and still cant sleep so I end up getting up and open my FB to just read thru my friends & families update if any. The end up watching CSI Miami Season 10 (yup! the final one)

Around 7am I went down & decide to make muffins but end up making chocolate cake, fruit cake & steam rice (this is good for diabetic person as it separate the starch...still figuring out how does that help). Basically in the rajin mood.

The above is Chocolate cake made using thermomix (bake using oven).. I sprinkle chocolate chips on top so it end up rather crunchy on top & moist inside. Not bad (kes hantam saja). Then I was in the mood to make the Fruit Cake, not sure if it was a success but it think it would do for now. It least it test rather nice and again I sprinkle a bit of chocolate chip (still have lots of it).

So while waiting for the above to be ready I cook the steam rice and again using Thermomix. Imagine that but off course the quantity was not as much as usual but enough for 4 people to eat. A taste is a bit different than the usual rice we cooked.

Still hot when I transfer from the simmering basket. Good for your health. Need to start eating without the starch and to get my hubby & I to start exercising. One of the many tasks that I'm yet to start hahaha. Calo all.

AM BACK!!!

Mak ai...been a long long & long time that I have not updated my own blog. WTH!! dah lupa ler pula eh. Let see...my last update was like more than 6 months ago..what have I been doing all this time???? Duh!! dont think I can recall a lot of it as time flies very fast & whats the point of dwelling on the past when u need to focus on the future. Right? Right!!!

Anyhow, my most recent one was like this very morning where I attended a demonstration on a product call Thermomix. See picture.

A rather interesting product that I come across. To cut my story short I end up having one set of this. Imagine that. Heard about that multiple time and no am having it!!!! Double triple amazing, aren't it? Anyway, on my way home I ask my beloved to stop by a supermarket (Hua Ho..a rather famous one in Brunei) to buy additional items for my Ensaymada (wanted to try this since the 1st day I saw the demo...tumpang VIP member).

It actually took me less than 15 minutes to come up with the dough. Shorten the story further...I make like 30 pcs of Ensaymada. Imagine that. Its the baking that took longer then the preparation so it lasted me like 1.5 hrs to get all of it bake. Imagine that. Yes all...try to imagine ya :D

Look at how it turn out to be....don't u just luv it when u are able to make this without having to go to a bakery to buy it. Am gonna try another recipe tomorrow. Hopefully I remember to update it on my blog but than again I must first remember to make some tomorrow :p what a blunder. Chow all...to be continued..hopefully not in 6 months time.

Passing Thru

OMG!! I just realised I have a blog that I have not been updating for ages. More than A YEAR!!!!! As usual I have this tendency to forget (factor umur tu kali). So many things have happen for the year 2011 and yet we are now towards the end of 2011. UNBELIEVABLE! Anyhow believe it. What am I suppose to say? Well, lets put it this way, I just found out that I have 4 fibroids, 2 rather small fibroids but in my uterus and just next to the lining (accordingly this will prevent me from getting pregnant!!!) then another 2 which is medium size (4.2cm & 3.7cm) just outside of my uterus. Guess thats what have been causing that excruciating pain for the past months & years whenever am having my monthly cycle. I am now trying a product (I hope it works). About a month already and let see what the result be when I did my scan next year (hope I remember this). If those fibroids (importantly the one inside my uterus) are gone..vanish..poof! Will let u know (If I remember this too). Will try to keep on updating for any news or valuable info that I can share with you which I suppose there are several stored somewhere. Will get back on that. Chow for now.

Coughing Like Mad

I dont know why but I have been coughing for the last 3 days and off course I did not take any medicine so maybe that's the reason for me being unwell and have not recover since. Was thinking of other reasons but I couldnt at the moment.

On the other hand, my son has been sick for the last one week. Fever! really bad. This morning his temp has been low but he start with coughing for 4 days already (I must have gotten mine from him). Given him cough syrup. Forget about that fever (I hope it will not return). Will check on him again later when am home. Around 1ish he's sleeping (according to my maid).

BTW, last night he sleep with my mom. Even when my hubby carry him to our room he dont want once he open his eyes and realised he's in our room . Darn! But that's alright I guess as long he's not asking to sleep with my maid. That's a NO NO NO.

Welcome November 2010

Wow. It's so unbelievable that we are now on the 11th month of 2010. Time does flies very very very fast until we are unable to catch it and get hold of it to actually slow it down. Very unlikely and in or wildest dream only. Who are we to stop it from passing by. We just need to enjoy it as it comes and plan ahead on what to do so we not miss any precious moment in life as we can’t turn back the clock. That’s for sure and infact we won’t be able to regret it if we miss it.

bUrP!!!

Really really really full. We had this farewell gathering thingy at the Airport Restaurant for our SVP. There are approximately 30+ staff attending. Others especially the male staff unable to attend as have to attend the Friday prayer. So mostly are us gals & the non-Muslim male colleagues.

I tried every dishes except for the one that does not look tasty to me which maybe tasty to others. I end up eating mutton when the label mention "daging" which is meant for 'beef". It should have mention "Kambing". Duh! So I was conned!!! Ate a bit then I said to myself "hmm taste like mutton" so ask one other colleague and even the attending waitress but cant seems to confirm. Anyhow, SVP confirm with me that is mutton. Erk!! ate a bit only. The rest I keep aside. Look tasty to me but if it's mutton. FORGET IT!!! Still cant seems to enjoy it like my love one does.

So was the for almost 2 hours, eat like there's no tomorrow. Am not sleepy tho' eventho's I am full. Am quite the opposite. If I'm hungry I will be sleepy but when I'm full I will be awake unless there's nothing to do than I can be sleepy too. What the hell!!

Time to go in a very short while. Have an appointment with my menicurist/pedicurist. Need to make appointment with my hairstylist too. Not that am into a particular style. I just need to trim or cut my hair shorter again. Hair keep on falling but not as much as before.

Oh! My son woke up before 6am for two days in a row already. If he's like this everyday I would love it very much. Very very much so that I dont have to struggle to wake him every morning for his school. FYI, we will be on a day trip to Singapore this weekend. Been wanting to go there for quite sometime so I better go. Have to submit my FOC so I can go for Umrah but I have to ask my sister if she's willing to take care of my son while we are away (almost two weeks). Will ask her later or when I remember :)

The Bluey Monday

Mengantuk mengantuk mengantuk. Kenapa ia mata ani. Cukup jua udah tido kali ah. Nda kan masih jua nda cukup. Must be Monday blues. Again? Alasan tah ganya tu. Ari ani kebanyakan will be in Malay. Campur aduk lah jua tu. Malas kan ikut my auntie ari ani. Luan awal bah. Nada ku mau tu. So ikut laki tah ari ani. Cam biasa lah tu. Anak ku payah kan bangun but at least by 6.30am atu mau jua ia memalakkan matanya atu dengan senyuman yg manis walaupun banarnya ia kan tido masih.

So ari ani tulak awal sket lah laki ku dari biasa. Dlm 7.15 pagi kali kalo ku nda silap kami tulak dari rumah. Since kana turunkan di atas so have to walk down lah kan so that dapat masuk opis. Clock in dalam 8.03 pagi..ok lah tu. Back to work macam biasa. Bubut orang sana sini pasal kan minta information. What else is new. Layan tah saja. Baik di bawa menaip dulu so that ilang mengantuk.

Hopefully kana antat udah tupi kekadai. Karang nda customer jadi. Karang balik kaja mesti tah ku ke kadai. Kan mengambar kain yang baru ku bali di Vietnam. Nda banyak pilihan bah sampai lupa kan membali kain sendiri untuk orang yang kan kawin early next month. Ujung minggu ani pulang ia nikah. Mau kan inda tailor ku ani memotongkan. Antam aja tia tapi kain pun alum ku membali.

Idung masih lagi siruk-siruk tapi ok lah..not so bad. At least kepala ku nda kanyat-kanyat cam last week. Mun nda bah sah tah ku nda kaja lagi. Baik ku berihat. Adeh, mesti ku ingat ni pasal kan mengambar telekung tah jua.

Now orang kami di kadai tinggal 2 orang ganya. Macam-macam saja bah. Nada hormat bah dorang ani kan beranti. Yang membaritau sorang tapi yang nda ada dua. Artinya apakan tu? Dua-dua tah kan beranti tu. Malas tah ku kan mikirkan eh. Pandai-pandai dorang tah tu. Mungkin ada hikmah disebalik ani. Amin amin amin. Bah baik tah adang. Kan 10 minit udah menaip ani sambil membaca balik dan mencek spelling. Biar tia aja mun nda lurus eh.

Eh sebelum ku lupa. Kenapa kah orang Brunei mun udah di luar negeri atu nada tah kan menagurkan sesame sendiri. Adakah takut tani kan minjam usinnya? (my sis punya teory ni) or pasal adang kali species orang Brunei ani cani. Tapi nda jua semualah. Contohnya tah aku ahahahahaha sampai takut ku bah kan menagurkan orang tani ani mun di luar negeri. Baik pulang orang Malaysia and Singapore bah. Penaguran pulang. Senyum lagi tu mun teliat jelama. Ani mun orang kitani bah..nada wah kan senyum atu. Mahal hantap pakah. Jangan tah luan taiming ani deh. Adang-adang jua dilayan peulahan atu. Ciao.

Not a good start

Why do others have to dig into my past? I dont want to reminiscence on it anymore. Leave it behind and built on the present and the future. I dont want to retaliate by asking the same thing. Who am I to judge others and who are others to judge me? I know what I have done in the past and am not proud of it. Maybe only to all the accomplishment that bring me to my current position. Not so great but am proud of it. What give others the right to JUDGE me!!! You think that you are right all the time? Am VERY UPSET!!! and sad at the same time

Damn it!! I might go insane if I have to think about all this. Thus, I need to pour it out here. That's the best choice I can think of at the moment. I cant keep on thinking about this but it keep on passing thru my head. Like touch & go. Now that remind me of my aunt's fishes and her friends.

Anyhow, what am I suppose to do? Turn back the clock. If others cant handle it them just LEAVE ME. I dont know how much I can take this. If there're further questions I think am going to burst inside out. Please STOP it.

Well. If other people sees me now I think they will say there nothing wrong with me since I act as if nothing is happen but HELL!!! they dont know what is boiling inside me at the moment. Not very pretty. Have so many weird things passing thru my head that ask me to do ridiculous things. Need to have positive thinking. If not, I dont know what am going to do next. Might be the unthinkable or could be the thinkable. Who knows. I dont!!

Moody Monday

Why oh Why oh Why!!!!

Didnt attend the meeting after over look the time. Will make it a point to attend the next meeting. Have apologies to the chair person but no acknowledgement yet. Oh man!! never in my life miss a meeting. Was too caught up with other tasks in hand.

Have to wait what my boss will say tommorrow after reading my apology's email. My brain is definitely not functioning very well today as I can think of anything else to type. What is going on???? Not good...not very good at all.

Cant seems to detect my good friend. Is she back from her trip already? Hope everything went well.

Yesterday was a hectic day to me. Woke up nearing to 9am. Woken my love ones. The bigger version done some clearing & cleaning to the bedroom. I at the other hand play game. Help a bit only by wiping the floor (after brunch). Then decided to cook fried noodles, sardines and spicy *sambal* (yummy!). This is more of a brunch to us at its almost 11am. Then around 2ish went to hubby's aunt house then 3ish rush to Lumut to my aunt's place for her blessing ceremony (Haj trip). Wish her & family to return home safely after the trip and *mendapat Haji yg Mabrur*. Amin Amin ya Rabbil Alamin. Rush back home. At this time my boy is still not sleeping. Then around 8ish (pm) went to my huby's aunt place again for late dinner. Grab a bit here & there then almost 10pm when home. My boy sleep by then (Alhamdulilah).

What's in store for me tommorrow? Well, I just have to wait & see. Oh by the way, the supplier for CCTV is fixing my CCTV at the shop today. Yeha! hopefully by this time no more missing cash.

Monday Blues

Let see. Today I had nyonya laksa for breakfast so no lunch for me today. Just like any other working day. DAMN! I have a meeting to attend today. How the hell did I forgot about it. Am doom!

Today Babbling

Am to attend a blessing function today for my auntie Haj journey to Mecca (1st Flight). Will not go out for the 2.5hrs lunch so I can knock off early today at around 3pm to attend the 3-3.30pm function. Have to make a stop later to pass key finder to a friend too. What a busy day. You think? Not really actually.

This morning a colleague try to pass on another clerical job which I decline. Request them to pass me a different task that has more meaning. Furthermore, am paid to do more than a clerical job. Dont think that a right way to do unless I want an easy job with higher pay. Hang on! Isnt that what most people want? I still dont think its right. Thats we call ** Makan Gaji Buta **

Request our workers at the shop to rearrange as per my layout and it seems that the shop look so not welcoming which I dont like. So ask them to rearrange to make it look cozy. Cant have a shop look unwelcoming. Not our shop. It is a must for me to be there to see it myself so I can figure out on how to make it look welcoming. Repeating the word "welcoming" in my last 3 sentances. Am I running out of word? Perhaps.

My dear good friend is flying to Singapore with her parents. Now who can I email to disturb today? None! Maybe my other friends at the other department can be disturbed but am sure they all went out for lunch. Why dont they come and pick me up? Darn! Wait! Am not suppose to go out for lunch. Idiot! Oh well...let me think of what to be done during lunch so that I can run out of the office earlier.

My boy dont want to go to his extra class today (chinese class) but after so much persuasion from myself and my maid he finally relent and have his bath, clothed and ready to go. Its just a hour class and not really a boring class from the look of it (send him once before). Then my aunty decided to pick me up. Piew! At least I dont have to walk in from outside the gate. Alhamdulilah.

This is what happen when am in the mood to write (type). Better stop and start doing something. A break can only be taken a couple of minutes at a time before I go bonker. So am thankful I have this (blog). Tomorrow is Saturday then Sunday take out and finally Monday, start of the week. Not really looking forward to it. Chow to who ever read this.

Back Again

Wow..my last post was on 27th September 2010. Am I correct? I think so too. Anyhow, am on a break...quick one so I better start typing while all this information flowing from my brain and it will so spell check later. hope none appeared. My head is pounding at the moment, top left side of my back (near the shoulder blade) is painful. Need to get a small pillow I guess to have a more comfortable sitting position or ???.

Been doing so much work (clerical level which am not but still doing it) but today not so much to do so I have to figure out something so I have something to do. Thats odd. Whats going on here? Dont know myself. Well, just do what am suppose to do at all cost I guess. Dont ask me what am talking aout as sometime I myself dont know.

At least my boy is recovering after the tantrum he thrown yesterday. I was so tempted to do something but luckily I was already on my way to work (with my aunt). Today he's ready to go to school. He just do what he want which sometime we relent. This cannot go on otherwise he'll grew up to someone we dont want.

Hang on, am thinking of watching movie today but not sure what yet as am not sure what are showing today (after 5pm). Better make a call but I have not even inform my dearest yet so I guess I have to think again to either watch or not. My favourite (one of it) is playing tonite at about 9.05pm. Hope I remember and wont miss it again like last week where I have to watch the rerun (the very next day).

It's almost time to leave the sitting. So better pack up and get ready to sign off. Calo!

** Manage to spell check after posting ',) **

Another Update

I'm not so stress out today so most probably I dont have much to type, write or say. Let see, when was the last time I post? Anyhow, I think it was Friday, 24th Sept 2010. So on 25th Sept 2010, I have an open house (at my house lah..now can say my house as fully under my name already). A raya open house. It was hectic. Start the preparation on Friday after work (after 5pm) with chopping & dicing away for lasagna sauce (this become spagetti sauce on the actual day). Also boiling chicken for "ayam penyet" and boiling beef for "soto" and black pepper beef. Finish all this prepartion pass 12 midnite. Exhausting!

On the acutal day woke up before 7am as need to fry noodle for my K1 son's hari raya celebration at his school. Once done, woke him up (this is a sturggle on daily basis) & his daddy. Once all done, start with chopping & dicing again for others like vege from banana trunk (batang pisang). This is yummy but myself didnt get the chance to eat. Fried the marinated chicken, refried the "sambal ayam penyet" which was prepared the nite before & "tumbuk" on the "lesung batu" (pastel).

All done pass 12 noon, by that time my mom's friends arrived, so are some of my friends from MIS. I have to rush to change cloth (mandi dulu lah). Guests flow were non-stop since then. No rest period. Tiring but enjoyable. Feet very sore but bearable.

Cut story short, the house closed from visitor almost 1opm. Then my sisters, brother, bro in laws & myself chatting away in the kitchen to almost 11.30pm while eating a really nice cake from bakerlyn courtesy of my good friend. They manage to finish sparkling "wine" given by another friend which I didnt get the chance to try. Oh well!!

Open Office

Today is the day when everyone is busy adorning themselves with glamourous "baju kurung" or "baju fesyen" or "baju melayu" for the Hari Raya Open Office. I wont be posting any pictures to share with as I dont have camera with me & I will not use my mobile phone to grab any (pixels not good). Futhermore, I dont think most of them want their face to be feature in my blog.

Let see, yesterday & 2 days ago I was told there will be nasi ayam, mee goreng, soto & nasi goreng kampung. What else ah? I cant remember as I know there are 2 more dishes. Payment will be from the contribution made from each of us. We are also encourage to bring additional food or drink or cakes or biscuits or etc etc but not sure what can I bring.

So, this morning around 6.30am (approximately lah), I decided to bring a dozen of 1.5L carbonated drinks (in bottle) which made up of 6 Mirinda Orange & 6 7up. I hope thats enough. Am sure there are more drinks (hot or cold) prepared. I also bring 2 type of home made cookies (by the self profess biscuit maker..me lah). Hope they like it.

But, for this section, the feeling of festivity is not really there. I wonder why. Maybe when its nearing to the time to pounce on the array of delicacies I will get to see the real identity. Now i sounds like hmmmmm not sure what.

Regardless of what will happen in like 2-3 hours time, we still have to do our work & try to meet with the deadline (dateline?) given. Anyhow, now am in the mood of updating, perhaps I will do this in a more frequent manner. Just cross my fingers & pray. Insya-Allah.

Latest

Oh my goodness... I have not updated my blog like ages...very very ages...have forgotten all about its existance...been so busy will all sort of things to do and time does flies...wish I could swat that flies and stop the time...what am I talking about.

Am so sleepy at the moment so am not sure what am I typing but I just need to typed something to be posted by TODAY!!! which is really a must. Even if there's no one reading my blog I dont really care as long I can vent what is in my head or more of my hand as it keep on typing none stop and all this words flying thru my head that I need to speed up my typing. Darn! I should have attended that typing class 20 years ago when computer are damn expensive and very unaffordable. But then again that was 20 years ago story telling which I think I dont need that class anymore. Am not even a secretary to begin with so why do I need it again? Duh! Cant think of any reason. Am babbling away none stop and am so worried that I typed nonsense.

Can believe I'm still typing and at the same time trying to avoid any typo or spelling error which I hope none appearing. Amin Amin Amin ya Rabil Alamin. At the same time trying to cross my finger but I cant as am still typing away. I better stop soon as I might be running out of idea to talk about with my friends or colleagues which is very unlikely but hey expect the unexpected. Who knows I might be running out of ideas (Jauh Palis!).

Gotta stop now. Maybe I can babble next year if I can make it tomorrow, next week or next month. Calo!
