Feeling great

I am neither a saint nor a sinner. But I am feeling great, today I helped a blind man to walk across. I am a person who always mind my work and not involve in others. When ever I am down, I will talk to my little nephews and that will make my day. All my little nephew will say is "I am busy watching cartoon, you call me later ok". And that word with his cute voice will give me a good feeling. I love all those thing my little nephew does.

Father's day celebration

We celebrated father's day for my bro. For celebration, I baked Dulce De Leche cake. The cake taste so good and yummy but not sure what went wrong, the cake taste too sweet. Goodness..I will definitely bake this again but will reduce the dulce de leche and the sugar off course.


To kill my frustration after hearing and boredom

I started to learn technique of baking and sugar craft since Sept 2009. I receive an order for cupcakes for a mini wedding anniversary sometime next month so I started to look for a simple roses,,All I can find is roses that uses, petal cutter from small to big, calyx, florist wire tape and other. So I come up with something simple and easy to do. All you need is a container of water, brush, small rolling pin, round cutter and fondant of your choice of colour.


First you need to take a small amount of fondant as below.



Then roll is like a small sausage and flatten using rolling pin as below.



And then roll the flatten fondant like this.

Now you need to roll your fondant and use the round cutter. You may need 5 rounds.

Take the rounds and fold it around the roll fondant (Image 5) overlapping each other. Lightly pinch the petals and fold it.


I will post a video on how to do simple fondant rose soon.

My Dad

Happy Father's day to my beloved dad. I didn't appreciate him when he was alive and now I missed him the most. My dad pst away due to renal complication in 2004. we have to struggle between home and work and hospital. My dad left us a house with some money in the bank. I didn't know that writing a will will cause a lot of headache after someone pass away. The house which belongs to my father was under his name and I have to go through Amanah Raya to change the name from my dad to my mum. Little did I know the problem we are about to face. As per Malaysian Law Distribution Act 1958. My grand father who passed away after my dad entitled for 1/4 of the house and since he is dead, his other children will inherit it. Where is the logic. The house belongs to my father and rightfully we the children should get or at least my mum should get it but why my father's siblings. I just don't understand. WHY WHY WHY....Why do I need to give them...My dad pay for the house through hard earning so why someone who never care for my dad should get it..I am so frustrated that I ask them to hold on and not to proceed further. I hate the law here.

Dulce De Leche

I made Dulce De Leche last night...actually I tried and I hate the taste..it  tastes more like condensed milk rather than caramel milk...Not sure where did I go wrong. I boil 2 can of condensed milk in a pressure cooker for about 45 minutes and waiting until the next morning to open can only to find the content is not as thick and creamy as I saw in some blogs. So I pour the content in a microwavable container and microwave and stirred every 30 second and it did turn into dark and cream texture but taste wise,hmmm not so good...still condensed milk taste.....hmmmm

Colleague from HELL

I was a PA before, life being a PA was so cool...you know everyone kinda look up to you and try to be good. That kind of nice..but when your company stop loving, you are out of that place. That happens to me and being jobless is really pain with so much debt to pay..I struggle a lot. Finally I end in a well known company. But prior to joining that company, I have to go thru some many procedures and background check..and to hear the word, you are in take more than a month..Working there is really fun, you are in charge of the office..I am a receptionist with a recep pay but doing an office managers job..Life was good till a lady by the name of Delia join the company in January 11. She was so nice and kind at first. Advising me what I should be eating, what I should not and what vitamin I should take and caring too until I go on a day leave and my back up was slightly late to work. She called up my manager and started yelling at him without knowing that my manager is a screwed up man as well..I went back to work the next day and she scream and shouted at me since she can't do it to my manager..I was a hot tempered person but I just kept quiet..feeling disgust and sick of that woman..and from then on she started to pick on me for the littlest thing ever...she always claims that she is rich and wanted to resign since she is not hoping for the salary but till todate, she is still here.. I am trying all my level best to satisfy this woman but she is so sick that everyone in the office started calling her "crazy"..we only have about 8 pax and she is the one with loose not..I really hope God will help with this devil...

For one more day

I am a lot of reading lately. Not anything but the kill the boredom while on train. While I was reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom.. I start to think back and wish God could grant me a day, full day to spent with my dad. I did not appreciate my dad when he was alive and till end of his life..I always have this guilty feeling in me that will be there forever..I wish I be nice to my dad knowing that he will leave us all forever..While I was feeling sad I called a special person and ask him who would be the person he'll spend if God grant him a day and he says his dad, He didn't have the chance to grew up with his dad. His dad passed away when he was 6 years old. And the I start to realise what a bad daughter I am..I can feel my father's hurt and agony now though i know he is watching over me all the time. It's too late to apologise.
