One thing I noticed about myself after returning from Kuching was I became more focus in getting things done and developed liking for anything domestic ... perhaps from all the doting and caring for my little nieces and nephews plus I am enjoying my trip so much this time.
So, I started calling my friends who since the starting of the fasting month been asking me if I by any chance still selling hamper Raya or my Sarawak cakes this year. Luckily most of the offers were still ON so there I was forgetting my blog for a while and started battling my way through the crowded streets of Jalan Masjid India and Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman getting my supply of baskets, nettings, ribbons, corsage and organza material for the hampers. By the way, minta maaf lah ya ... it was not me who menggubah hamper nie. Gubah menggubah ni is sooooooo NOT my thing.
My job, sale and marketing. Packaging and delivery ... Kak Julia and team. Since it was quite last minute plus with current economic senario so our sales value reduce by 30% this year huhuhu. Last year, it was Kak Julia and Fauzi who did all the purchasing, selection of products, and packaging. This year it was my turn and BOY I learned a lotttttttttttt from my mistakes! Yikes... Like matching the colours of the material and the corsage huhuhuhu ... I better stick to baking and cooking.
So when Ida smsed me about making my "famous" Holiday Inn Cake for Raya .. how could I resist? And so there I was last Wednesday getting myself busy in the kitchen beating butter and sugar and egg and later had only 4 hours sleep from waiting for my cake to steam on the steamer until perfectly done! Little do I know that I got bitten by "cake making" bug that nite. Suddenly I wanted to explore caking making more ... you know maybe the more classy cupcakes, mousse cake or cheese cakes next time. Barulah SEXLESS in the City ala-ala tajuk blog Kak Maria.
By the way, I was so tired that I forgot to take pictures of the cake. Yelah, sejak berusia lebih daripada 21 tahun nie, tenaga pun dah berkurangan you! But stay tune, rasa-rasanya this blog will feature something different la in the future.
Last but not least, to Yoyop, Suna, Norzah, Ida, Kak Meli, Olpic, Semin, Kak Maria, Zam , Zaireen, Anis, Cheeky Wife, Maz+Rin and all Muslim friends .... Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin ...

yoyop: jangan bersedih di hari raya ... ada hikmah di sebalik apa yang berlaku.
Tq J, for the HR greeting and cite buat kek dan hamper. U r industriousness never ceases to amaze me and the way u make humdrum chores (macam pukul telur n keju utk buat kek)sound so interesting. BTW I make my own kek coklat. Selalunya tak sempat nak icing dah licin. Makan tidur 2-3 hari cutiraya ni tak tambah berat ke? I balik kampung potong rumput,betulkan longkang pecah, bersihkan belakang rumah asal, betulkan poket motobike untuk anak-anak buah dan visitors main, lepas tu hentam lemang n rendang. Tak taulah naik berapa paun tapi badan rasa rengan je. Kerana HR mood agaknya!Salam.
Norzah, dah I takde anak and hubby to keep me busy so terpaksa lah channel my busyness elsewhere. Selain itu, nak "pupuk" good industrious genes to pass down to future "anak-anak" hehehe
Wah hebat! Better keep yourself busy and healthy with activities yang berfaedah. Eh you pandai buat kek jugak ker! Dahsyat, dahsyat ... you pun never cease to amaze me Norzah. Art lover, thinker, administrator, professional, cake maker ... Jack of all Trade. Wonder how was it when you were a KSU. Ader tak baling fail opppsss ...
I raya memang sleeping marathon. Tapi tak tahulah dapat pingat emas atau perak.
J, sebagi KP MAMPU, KSU Kem. Penerangan, and last Kem. Pengangkutan, i tak pernah baling fail. My tagline: a good leader creates many leaders under/after him (or her). Ramai pegawai I naik jadi KSU.Ada seorang I paksa baca buku-buku management. Bila pergi buat Masters semua prescribed books dia dah baca, Terus dia buat PhD. Ni bukan promo ya, tak ada apa-apa lagi I nak promo.
Tapi hati dan fikiran tak pernah kosong. Kedua-dua mesti dialog selalu, baru hidup penuh erti biar pun waktu buat kek atau cross-stitching. Cayalah.
