So, what did I do today???

I baked SIX cakes today!!! Yay!!! My first ever order towards my long-term goal.. hee hee...

Even though it was just marble cake, I was really excited cos this is only the start of sthg which I have been planning for quite some time now.. I pray to God that it will materialise one day..

I was having a really lousy day at work last week and I REALLY felt like quitting there and then. It was just so tiring having to manage the different characters at work and at the same with the ever piling of works and those problematic cases/follow-ups. I really, really felt like quitting and just rot at home!

But came a phone call which brightened up my day. Hidayah called and asked if she could place an order for 5 marble cakes for her niece's Thanksgiving feast. My first ever customer!!! Yaaayyyy!!!! Amidst the craziness at work, we managed to discuss on our future plans. We need to go for baking classes!!! The thought of quitting and doing sthg which I have been wanting to do for so long was enuff to make we wanna slog it out at work till we manage to raise enuff capital. I really do hope it will happen........ Oh! The sixth cake is a Peach Cake, free gift! :)

Oh ya! Did I mentioned that I am on 5days medical leave? I FINALLY got my right wisdom tooth extracted!! Before that, it gave me hell for abt a week plus and when I couldnt take it anymore, I decided to visit the dentist. I went for teeth X-rays and they found both my bottom wisdom tooth were growing horizontally!! Yikes!! I was left with no choice but to extract it!!

During the day of extraction, I was so freaking nervous that I tot I cld have peed in my pants.. hehe.. But thank God, the dentist was really nice and managed to put me at ease. I have to say the extraction was not as bad as I tot it wld be BUUUUUUUTTTTTTT, the after effect is killing me!!! The first two days were pretty bad cos I could not eat properly and I gotta be careful for it not to bleed further. For someone who loves to eat, it is hard when you cant really eat and enjoy your food properly. It seriously irritated the hell out of me!!

Now...... I am counting down to the day when I will get my stitches off!! Yup!! I have stitches in my mouth!! Wanna know what colour?? It is BLACK!!! After three days, I still cant really open my mouth widely and eat using both sides of my mouth. Haiiizzz.................

Lastly... I am not sure why but I'm missing lotsa pple lately..... My grandpa....... my bestfriends....

I wish God give me enuff strength to visit his grave again.............

So... I am now officially quarter of a century old and it doesnt really suck.. :)

Frankly, I am not really bothered abt the digit 25 cos like they normally say. 'Age is just a digit.' Cos I know deep down inside I am still young at heart! Hee hee..... Even though the digit 25 does not bother me, the digits do carry some meaning and pressure behind it ..

Turning 25 meant I have to act and think more wisely and maturely..
Turning 25 meant I have to act more responsibly..
Turning 25 meant being pressured to comply to societal norms.. (like I care)

However,
I cant promise not to try to sulk when I dun get my way with mummy..
I cant promise I can stop being corny (this is the only time I'm acknowledging it)
I cant promise I can stop being 'manja' (pampered).. not spoilt ok!

All I can say is that I am sucking it in, both the good and the bad.. I am just waiting for my life story to unravel itself and I hope it gets better with each day, mth and year..

Anyways..........

Celebrated me birthday with mummy over lunch with me eating on my left side of the mouth (shall blog abt it another day). It later followed by movies with Zal, Kami and My Fiq( Coffee Prince?).. hee hee... Managed to convince them to watch Verses of Love and received 3 good reviews! So what is the moral of the story??

SINCERITY & PATIENCE.

After the movie, we decided to dine at Fig & Olive @ Vivo City. I gotta say that the taste improved tremendously and the service was fast and prompt..

After dinner, we decided to head home and dropped Fiq first and Kami at Fiq's bus-stop.. It was then I received a blue paper bag and I was holding my breath till I was told it is just a paper bag.... oh perigi....

Headed home after Uncle's place and I was nonetheless curious as to what is in the infamous blue bag...
And what do you know..... it was tight, ruffled and difficult...
It was a ribboned blue box, snugly place in the deceiving brown box..
In it, placed a lovely bracelet (initially)...
Tried to put it on and got confused due to the loose-ness... (dear, just cos u're confused, dun need to get me confused too k)
It was later confirmed to be a necklace... hee hee hee.....

So what did I get for my birthday? A necklace pseudo-bracelet from dearie.. with nicely font-ed card.. Thanx dear.... :)

....................... I HEART IT!.......................

Treated mummy, aunt and couz to the movies today to celebrate Mother's Day. I had other things in plan too but too bad, had some changes so only managed to treat them to the movie.

After much talked abt hype and reviews on the Indonesian movie, Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Verses of Love), I was looking forward to it when they published in the papers that Cathay will be showing it in S'pore. Since mummy wanna watch it too, I didnt waste anytime when it was released in S'pore. All I can say is that it is a BEAUTIFUL story in every aspect.

I think everyone, regardless of Muslim or Non-Muslim, shld catch it. It portrayed the beauty of Islam and the most importantly, the true Islam. I have to say that I did learn and come to realise a lot of things while watching the movie. The film displayed very well the essence of faith, sacrifice and sincerity in different aspect of human relationship; neighbours, friends, teachers, loved ones and God Almighty.

I feel that everything tied in well for the movie as it is able to deliver the message really well. It showed how when one has strong faith in in your loved ones in the name of God and is sincere in sacrificing in the name/path of God, everything will end up well. There will be test along the journey but it is a way of God talking and testing your faith. But as human, we tend to falter when tested and this movie showed how important it is to return to your faith and try to overcome each hurdle with patience.

Besides being a religious film, it is also a romance film. I absolutely love the idea how Islam sees love and marriage. You do not get married in the name of love only but you get married in the name of God too. You fall in love with the person cos Allah wills it to. I just love the idea that you fall in love or get married cos Allah has chosen the perfect soulmate for you. Its like you fell in love in the name of God and when the couple is tested but with deep faith in each other and most importantly God, it wld only strengthen the relationship. Sincerity too played a big part in the relationship, when you are not sincere, there are bound to be problem along the way. One line in the movie stuck to me, " Soulmates is Allah's secret," which is true. In fact, I believe Life itself is Allah's secret cos only He truly knows what lies in front of you.

Sighhhhh..... what can I say, I absolutely love the movie.... It may be a lil idealistic cos not many is blessed with strong faith like Fahri, but it at least gives us hope that if you truly believe and have faith in Him, everything will be alright no matter what everyday life problems you are facing. So pple, go watch the movie!!!!!

Another weekend has come and it will definitely be gone soon...

Had a relaxing evening with Liza and Azack watching movie, eating and shopping... I thought I had succeeded in resisting any temptations to buy stuffs but I crumbled when we entered the last store of the day, Zara... Hmmm.. Gotta practice more self-restraint with insurance to pay in the coming month..

We managed to catch Harold&Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and it was hilarious!!! Initially, I was pretty disgusted with the Cock-Me Sandwich and the bottomless party but it got better and more hilarious as the story developed. I have to say, the sequel is pretty good or even better than the first one.. It definitely beats watching Funny Games U.S hands down!

At the end of the movie, there was a poem recited by Kumar to his ex-gf which was funny and sweet at the same time...

The Square Root of 3.

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
