Social responsibilities

Today is Sunday. Your host's neighbor front door is organizing a religious event (reading the Quran) and also celebrating their only grand daughter's 7th birthday. Your host was personally invited. Your host was rather embarrassed that the neighbor actually did come to your host's door and invited her!

Your host decided to quickly whip up a Sunquick Orange Sponge Cake to be given to her neighbor.
Tangy and soft Sunquick Orange Sponge Cake

Your host decided to wear the kaftan which she got it at a bargain at one of the outlets in Kulai.

She loves the Kaftan!

Feeling great to be able to re-connect with the society!

Some people chose to give careless whispers. Others are genuinely kind with their words. Your host was least impressed! Hmphh.. some people... ;-(

The powerful process of visualization (p81, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne)

Realizing the powerful
process of Visualization
She has read page 81 repeatedly. She couldn't agree more with the Author. Oh how so true about what visualization can do to your life.

It costs nothing to visualize. And she wants to visualize more often. She can see it crystal clear in her mind that she is successful in her role as a daughter to her mother. She plays the role of an awesome mother to her two gorgeous growing up sons. Bringing the two Mavericks up in this challenging world is more challenging than she had expected. But she has little options but to brave the wave!

She can see that more and more of her clients in her legal practice are happy with her team's services for now and many more years to come. At the same time, she is enjoying a growing number of contented and encouraging customers for her home-made cake business as well.She shall be surrounded by positively satisfied customers for both her businesses for many years to come.

Finding peace with herself and with others and all other important people around her directly or otherwise seems effortless these days. For all the great if not awesome blessings given to her by God the Al-Mighty, she is deeply grateful. She has been enjoying awesome physical and mental health, abundance of sincere and trustworthy friendships, truthful  love and affections from everyone around her, undivided attention and care from her loved ones.She has them all. And to those who have been kind enough to allow her this experiences either directly or otherwise, she believe that God will allow her to reciprocate them all in many folds!


She sees it very vividly that she is able to direct all the fibres in her being to listen to other attentively and meaningfully whenever her ears are needed. She sees that she is truthfully and sincerely adored by all that knows her for her being herself.

Being able to be successful in the eyes of her Mother and makes her proud is truly an honour to her!

She is attracting all the successes in this Universe never for her alone, but for others who depend on her for their livelihood.    

She knew that all those thoughts and visualization will sooner or later materialize.

Yes, and she likes what she sees in her mind everyday! Cheers, Junaida, you can definitely do it!

It is meant to be!

Your host had the luxury of that limited time slot in her good friend's busy schedule. We spent almost 3 hours  catching up with each others' latest development. Our conversation was focused on what the future holds for us. We also talked about children, the challenges of bringing them up in this current era. And lots and lots  of laughters. And the rest are history.

Ana and your host managed to quickly go to a book store and we got ourselves a book each. As for your host, she knew that this book was meant to leave its warm and comfy shelf and be in her hands! And now she is willingly exposing her beautiful pages to your host! Thank you, dear, for allowing me to re-discover the Power within me!
She was meant to have these! 

Big juicy and succulent!

Aren't these guys gorgeous?
These guys are big enough now to be brought down from where they were. And they should be ready to show off their flesh in a day or two from now. And Gosh, these are so succulent and juicy and sweet.  Your host just love to have them half raw on their own.

Mother's Day

Peace to the world when all the mommies get together!
(L-R: Pak Abu, Jumee,Yours Truly, Mother, Salbiah, Ira and Rahman)
 This fav boy is obviously enjoying himself when all the mommies got together. For all that he is concerned about is that he got to enjoy the chocolate cake after the main event (cutting the cake, that is!) is over! Peace, man! ;-)  

One family that rocks peacefully! :-)
[L-R: Amirul, Pak Abu, Jumee, Ramlee]
It was such a gala time for the little boy! Today was the day, when he can savour great food and awesome pampering from the mommies! You rock babe!
A piece of love from the junior mommies to the senior one!
[L-R: Yours Truly, Jumee, Mother, Ira]
It was such a great feeling for everyone to see Mother being healthy at the age of 76. This was the best Mother's Day celebration we all ever had. Thank you God for sending us one great woman to be our Mother!

Practice, practice, practice

I shall not stop practicing until I really really got it. After some time, this appeared easy to me. When the piping bag became slippery with the oil from the chocolate, there is really nothing much I could do. I tried holding the bag with a damp cloth, but that made the chocolate hardens easier! So the best thing to do was to stop for a while and then resume practicing later! And these are the guys! Enjoy!

Mother, Happy Mother's Day!

This was baked and done with my mother in my mind. We shall celebrate each other tomorrow at her house. It has been my sheer pleasure to bake this for her! Mother, I am grateful to you, forever! Thank you for giving birth to me!
Selamat Hari Ibu, Mak!
