Pesanan Suami "DON'T OVER-COMMIT!"

Fuh! Doing business is not easy after all. I've had my first REAL difficulties while processing the order, and it taught me a great lesson on what my husband had been telling me before : "DON'T OVER COMMIT!".

But I did exactly that with this order.

I agreed to take order from one of my auntie on Saturday with all the basic details and budget, and promised to deliver on Sunday kamikaze sungguh kan!. As I was already on the way to my PIL's house at that time, I didn't had the time to do quotation and just made a rough mental note on what to get for this order. In between visiting the PIL and another auntie who was going for umrah, I managed to make a stop to get the stuff and processed them later that night after we got home at MIDNIGHT.

Unfortunately, my creative juice seemed to dry up at the wee hours, perhaps because it was already close to 1 a.m when I started processing it, and I was already too tired from one whole day of visiting. But I was lucky to find out earlier that the delivery could be postponed because my nephew was hospitalized due to jaundice, so the visiting had to be postponed too.

This time around, since everything was rushed I seemed to find it very difficult to make the cake presentable. Only after 2 days of trying many many different arrangements, it was finally completed. It was just so and so but I think it's not so bad, I hope I could do better next time. Anyway, putting aside the appearance of the cake; there was another thing to add to my dismay, I burst the budget!

I was too worried as the customer had stated the maximum budget, and no matter what I have to at least pay back the advanced capital from my husband. So I had to try and eliminate things that I could from the list, including my labor charge a.k.a profit, duit minyak, parking and delivery. And alhamdulillah, after striking off some things from the list, I managed to get back the modal.

After everything is settled and I had the time to lean back and contemplate, I remembered what my brother said to me recently "Don't think about how to sell, but think about how to keep on selling." So no matter what, we must keep the customer happy. And so I hope to be able to do that, to give the best I could and hope the customer will be satisfied with it.

One important lesson learned from this. NO MORE OVER-COMMITTING!

Drama King in the making

Last night, hubby had to take a conference call at home so he told me not to disturb him while he locked himself up in the room. After some time, he came out and then went back into the room a few times, walking here and there, oblivious to his son who was vying for his attention. I was busy with my diaper cakes so I paid little attention to the son as well.

Until at one point, I suddenly noticed him leaning on the wall at the corner of the house, having a sad look on his face. Just seconds after that, I saw him shaking his head while talking to himself "Abah takmau kawan dahh!". Hahaha! That sure cracked me up, I mean, it would crack you up too, wouldn't it?! 2 months prior to his 2nd birthday, and my son can already put two and two together to form his own wide off the mark conclusion!

Kids nowadays do amaze their parents, don't they?

My Very First Order

I haven't been updating for ages! Yes I know. I could give 2 very concrete reasons for this; one is because - you guess it right! - internet has been very-very naughty. However,  the main reason for lack of update is because : I WAS BUSY PROCESSING MY DIAPER CAKE ORDERS! Yeooww! I got 3 orders y'all, first from my very own mother haha! And then came order from my aunty and my cousin, all for the newborn baby Rayn Mujahid Merican.

Alhamdulillah, newborn does bring rezeki, don't they? So after having so much fun shopping and 'baking' them, here are the outcome.You can check out my biz blog for more details on them.

Gosh, the pics are soooo blur because my hands were shaking like I got parkinsons when I snapped them. I totally need a new camera, a DSLR perhaps! :-p

So long, guys.~

Mr. Austin, ever since last night, I fancy you no more!

Ever since we moved the old TV into our hotel room bedroom, Irfan has been getting extra hyper at night. He would jump and jump on the bed until his father wail the siren that sounds very much like our cheap security alarm, and only then he would go find comfort on his mattress while making muka sekupang.

Last night I wanted to put him to bed earlier, before his father gets in. After almost half an hour of coaxing, I managed to make him lie down beside me, and we watched TV quietly for a while. After the show ended, the WWF show came on air. This little menace apa lagi,started jumping up and down on the bed again, and before I knew it, he gave me a smack down, Stone Cold style all the way! Hadoiiiii! It was very, extremely, indescribably painful! Luckily I've got flesh on my body to take the blow, if I'm all skeleton, tak kah patah rusuk aku dibuatnya?!

So for now, I guess TV would be banned in the bedroom, at least until this boy doze of to the lala-land. Haih!

GLEE Tv Series

Everyone's been talking about Glee in FB today. I could see at least 40-50% status of my friend's list spell the magic word G.L.E.E. Well, I don't get the excitement, and I have to confess I did not even watched High School Musical. Takdak Astro kan. Besides, looking at my current mood nowadays, I'd rather watch some criminal scenes with blood splattering all over the walls than watching teenage kids dancing and singing in the school cafeteria. Haha!

So tell me guys, what's so great about this new series? If it's THAT good, then maybe I will try to coax hubby into subscribing Astro after all!

LG BL40 Chocolate

Alahai...cantiknya! Some says it's even better than iPhone, and very user friendly too. This is MY wishlist for my husband's upcoming birthday, bole? Hahaha...

Writer's block

I haven't been updating this blog for a few days coz I'm too busy enjoying the new screen. Haha..so not! My bro said "Big screen tapi takdak Astro, apa barang kak!" Haha! Just not in the mood. Plus the fact that my phone has been sent for repair so I seem to be lost without it. Nanti update blog without pics, that would be a turn off for you guys pulak kan? So tunggu phone baik dulu ya! Till then...haf fun blogging!
