massage :)

yesterday was hectic + stressful...
cant help it. all of the sudden, everything went haywire at the office.. cant keep the positive thinking facade anymore. im so winded up like an alarm clock. that's the last straw.
at 530 i made an appointment for a body massage at Tjantek Spa Kuching at 6pm.

It was my first time there and second time getting a body massage (the last was before my wedding). and the lovely ladies were ready to accept my last minute appointment. How lovely!

Driving like a mad woman from Pending to Satok i was on time for my appointment. SURPRISED me there. hehhe

The ambiance of the place is soo relaxing. the masseur was soft spoken and the massage was HEAVENLY!

After 1.5 hours of massage i feel the stress just melted away and today i woke up feeling fresh. *content*

For you folk interested in this place, search TJANTEK SPA on facebook.

p/s: was so wound up before the massage and content after the massage, i did not take any photos. but the place was superb with great service.

cupcakes....cupcakess

Morning all!!! its 9.30am on a Tuesday and I'm in the office with my in-tray full and work table looked like a hurricane had been passing thru... i need to call my working mojo spirit..

therefore, i need to think to take a breather and think of nice stuff like BAKING!

last week i baked two order of choc cupcakes for an engagement hantaran and for a birthday surprise. both order is thru from my dear good friend Madam Norazaliza Othman. The funny thing is we share the same name! (errr...almost )

Above is the cake for Izzah's engagement.. 30 pcs of choc cupcake with fondant deco tops with 2 figurines. Since I've been itching to try making some gumpaste flowers, i made 7 frangipanis. but one got chipped off while arranging them on the cake board.

aint they cute.... aaahhh... happiness...hhehe...

well... gotta meet the boss now. till next post!

baking bug

Looks like the baking bug is biting my girls (my term for my dear...dear girlfriends)..ahaha

one had gotten a new oven and is baking furiously (jgn oven ya meletup dahlah dek... ahahha)

and today nyna announced that she baking a jar of her yummy choc chip cookies (that me and adek asked for the recipe and LOVED).

Looks like SESCO will be delighted with our electricity consumption this month (due to the oven running and mixer whirring..ahaha)

Going off to Lumut this weekend (and dragging my office) with me.

so, as always, i will bake something for my bro n his in-laws in KL and also for my dear husband and his family who is in KL too (my father repeatedly warned Shida not to kawen wif org melaya...LOL).

Bought some kek lapis from kampung Gersik my my family in law and for Shah's (my bro) in-laws. This one is made from Golden Churn. My oh my... they are HEAVY!

then late last nite baked some choc chip cookies for hubby, shah and also for us to munch at home (and the office). recipe adapted from nyna's choc chip cookies. its soo simple to make. it took me only two and a half hours to bake 2 batches.

*sigh* the smell is heavenly.... but better remember the calories while munch.. munch... away...

The tiny morsel of happiness to keep me slightly happy at the office today (haha...tinggal sebijik jer sebab keje byk sambil munch2...)

lets try blogging

Welcome all to my blog!

This would be my second attempt at blogging (the first failed miserably as i was too busy chasing after my BSc and my Msc then...harharhar... alasan! ).

Is my life that interesting that I have to share it to the whole wide world?

mmmm..... i trully dunno. but i do hope one will find something interesting with what im sharing :)

The reason i created this blog is because i want to share to all about my hobby...BAKING!!

(and may bits of pieces of my mundane life story )

gosh! i really am into baking. i remembered baking my own cake since i was like 10!

its fortunate that my mum trust me enuf then.. hehhehe

i distinctively remembered the first cake i made. I was 10 and attended a birthday party at the kampung. We Sarawakians are extremely proud of our cakes.

anyway, i remembered eating this one particular cake and fell in love with it.

the next week i told my mum i wanted the cake at the birthday party and she suggested i make it myself (ooo... trusting mama..haha)

so we browse thru my mum's ancient recipe book and found one recipe.

I start measuring and plonking everything in my mum's old Maulinex mixer , line the cake pan with paper and butter then steaming the cake for 8 hours.

YES!! we sarawakian love steamed cakes and we steam our cake for hours!

10 hours later (2 hours for cooling off) ... TTAAADDDDAAAAAA!!!!!!!! .... it was good but its not the same cake i was looking for.

Nevertheless, i've been baking on and off.... especially for the festive seasons..

well.... now that im free (yeah rite!)

im thinking of involving myself in the cake decorating field (blame CAKEBOSS on 707 !)

i wonder whether they have wilton classes here in kuching? mmmm....
