Happy Birthday Dr Kharidah

Dear Dr. Syarifah Kharidah,

I like to wish you a warm 50th birthday!

May there will be more happiness ahead.

     I made this butterfly card for her birthday and glad she loves it. Surprisingly she asked me this question, "Wow, you are so creative and what are you doing here as a Chemist?" Err, err, I really don't want to answer that. Then she added some more, "You should put up your own shop like what Lovely Lace kinda concept." I just smile at her and there of course I do had a little twinkling in my heart says, InsyaAllah Dr, someday maybe."

PS: Tomorrow I'll be updating the whole bunch of the birthday event and now still stuck here at the office...Terrible rains outside. Will be stuck in traffic jam of course!

Happy Birthday Kak Yati!

On 22.06.2012, I like to wish Happy Birthday to Nor Haryati Ali a.k.a Kak Ti. May Allah bless you always! Always happy and will be loved by others around you.

          Specially for her, I bake a new cake that I have modified and Alhamdulillah They said it taste great! Not too sweet as for my previous recipes. I am glad that she love the cake.Phew~ I know her favorite color was pink, and I made a Custard Layered Cake with bits of Chocolate Chips. Looks very delicious!

          So, this time I like to share with you guys the recipe. It was simple and surely you can do it too. The important tip for this recipe is to layer the cake white the custard is still hot. Before pouring the custard, grease your 8 inch spring form pan with butter so that the cake will came out easily and will not stick to the pan. To ensure the is no bubble trapped in the custard, you have to press the cake a little bit to the custard. Good luck!

Dear Mom,

t.w.e.n.t.y.e.i.g.h.t

On 4th Feb 2012, I woke up and look myself in the mirror. Look at myself in every inch and every bits of it. Checking for any sign of wrinkles. Thank goodness there is none of it. But to start counting on pimples that grew overnight, is not a happy moments to start a new day.

          The beginning of twenty eight. I am proud of it and Alhamdulillah I am still alive and be able to write again and again. Happy Birthday to me! Things that I had hoped for this year are may there are more happiness, love and lots of surprises! To those who wished and sang a birthday song, thank you so much and I really appreciate it so much! What a memorable year! To dear friends, Zaidiana and Pija, thanks for the chocolate treats although seriously my stomach was pretty full by the Arabian food. Hey, on your birthday next month let us have a road trip then. Jom!

Treat from the girls!

          The things I might not forget is to have a special gift from someone special. Thank you dear for the flower and the chocolate and the thought although you are far away. While writing this, I definitely sure that I missed you so much, but too ego to tell it directly to you.   

Hope this day is as special as you are
Count your life by smiles, not tears
Count your age by friends, not years.
Happy birthday!
