Little Macaroons

If you've been following me on insta,  you should know i've been nomming on those little macaroons continuously for days already. 

One day i was craving for it.

Then marcus drove me to empire to get some from chocolate world.  

It was too sweet, it didnt satisfied me.  

:(

So we tried out TWG's macaroons as well. 

It was okay.  Quite sweet to my liking. 

Then we found Union Jac at Pop by Jaya One!  

It was the best i swear.
Not so sweet and the taste is just right.
Marcus been complaining i ate too much macaroons and worried i might get  diabetes *start drinking lots of water*
Also after we done eating,  i was washing my hands and quite surprise to find my lips and teeth turned colored.  Hahahahaa.
Ok.  Its not funny.
Damn colors,  they are so bad but i like them  :(
I should just learn how to make a healthier macaroons.  Yay or nay?  Hahahaaha.
Still wondering how ppl manage to swallow the customize macaroons which is full of diff colors in one macaroons!  \(O.O)/ 

Ok.  If you're wondering what happened to my hand , i shall start explaining now.  

Alot of ppl been asking me and i got tired of answering one by one.  

It was on a quiet fri night.  Where i was baking,  rushing some orders, making dinner for the twins and cooking some chocolate for the weekends cake orders.  

Was working till 1am, and eyes are halfway close.  

Guess laying my hands on a hot pot accidentally woke me up.  

Its hurts till i can barely touch anything. 

So it was 2am, marcus rushed me to the clinic nearby to get it treated.  

And 24hours clinic is close!!  

Even ppl working in the mamak is more hardworking than those doctors. Wth.  

So marcus drove all the way to sunway to look for doctors.  

We have to knock the gate and wake them up because other doctors are not in.  

I salute those aneh in mamak for being so hardworking. Lolololol.  

This is why u can see im so free to go everywhere and look for macaroons.  

Because its finally a weekend that i should stay away from the kitchen. 

Still missing the kitchen till now  :/

Im glad that i got it when janice and melvin is coming back!  

Otherwise i wouldnt know who will do those cakes.  T.T 

And something that cheered me up! 

A sheep that mehhhhhhh.  

Hahahahahaa!!! 

The anxiousness i had when i was waiting for them to come out from the plane. 

And those happiness when i see janice running cutely towards us. 

Ahhh.  Unexplainable.  

Those 2 weeks is a little too long.  

I told marcus if they migrated,  i'll definetly cry.  Hahahhahaha 

Besides that,  marcus made me some golden flowers as well.  

Old man trying to be romantic.  Hahahahha. 

How's June.

Hello June.  

You've been treating me really bad this whole month. 

I dont know how many times i've broke down,  due to this and that T.T 

It felt like this is just the longest month.  

*Big sighhhhhh * 

My dark circles are getting worst. 

My earliest sleep time is 12am. ( it used to be 9pm!!!) 

Only manage to get 5 hours of sleep per day ( i need 10 hours of sleep.  Yes. Im a pig ) . 

Couldnt help but fall asleep when im on my way to work and coming back from work. When i woke up,  i asked marcus "oh gosh. Why did i fall asleep " -.-

Marcus mentioned i couldnt stop my sleep talking for weeks already.  

Worst is,  i couldnt stop hitting him when im sleeping. 

I havent open up the window and jumped down from the building,  so its consider not that dangerous already.  

The worst part?  

My skin......... 

Pimples keep popping out,  felt like im lack of blood and i look freaking pale.  Wth. 

Can someone donate me some blood ah?  But i dont want any needles poking me.  So how ah? 

Colleagues keep tell me how tired i look,  how pale i look. 

They even give me a mirror and call me to look at myself.  

So i ended up telling them -" i dont wanna look at myself.  I dont wanna scare myself". 

Okay la.  I should stop ranting. 

Look at the bright side,  june is ending in few days . 

July is here,  where everyone's bday comes together.  And thats how im broke every july.  Hhahahahah. 

Wonder did our mom just pakat one har. All decided to pregnant at the same time then my mom didnt manage to born me in july so born me in the beginning of August lo.  

Holiday is around the corner. 

Oh July,  please please please be gooddddd!  Be great lah!  I no more tears to cry already.  Haihhhhhh. 

I didnt selfie for i dont know how many months alreadyyyyy!  

I suddenly felt so awkward when i hold the camera and start snapping myself. 

Aiyo,  did i just got myself into the older generation ahhhh????  

Anyway,  no selfie,  so here is a pic of me,  candid shot. 

hahahhahhahahahh! 

I think enough of ranting la. 

Suddenly felt so old T.T 

Annyeongg! \(_ _)/

Life

Almost every night before sleep, i tends to think about life. 

Probably because after i read about fourfeetnine and timothy's blog,  they talked about death,  and it gives me deep thinking.  

I like reading tim's blog as it nvr fail to inspired me.  

Every words are just so inspiring and motivated.  

So i think it leads me to think abt life,  death and future.  

Everyone told me im very very young.  

Still long way to go,  still got time to do what i want or what i like.  

The truth is,  i dont feel like im THAT young anymore. 

People will be like "you're only 22! Long way to go. "

All im like " im 22 already.  I dont wanna waste my time anymore.  I dont wanna be regret at old age for not doing what i want or like. I dont wanna start being successful only at old age. " 

Life is a bitch. 

I always hope time could pass faster and i wish to grow up.  

2 more months till 22 and i wish time could just pause because what i used to wish is happening a little too fast. 

Im always afraid of death.  Always afraid of losing ppl i love as well.  

When i was younger,  i wish i could die before my parents because i dont think i can handle if they leave me one day.  Lolololol. 

But as i grow up, to think about it,  i dont think my parents could handle it as well if i leave first.  

Till now,  i still dont think i can accept if they leave before me but i can understand because its the circle of life.  

Being the youngest in the family, and being a girl,  the whole family are quite strict and protective towards me.  

I used to not understand why are they doing these but i do as i grow up - prevent me from being hurt.  

I always afraid of my own death.  Especially when ppl speed while driving and im the passenger,  i always tell them " please drive safely.  I havent See myself in wedding dress and building up a family yet. " 

I always told my brother repeatly to drive safely and definetly no drink and drive.  

I think my bro think i sounds more like an auntie ad.  Lololol.  

I pray really really hard for my parents to live longer and healthier so they could share every stage of my happiness with me.  I want them to see me getting married. 

I want them to see me building up a family.

I want them to play with my children and pamper them like how they pamper me. 

I want them to see me being successful in my own career and be proud of it.  

I wish my brother could earn enough and build a happy family so my children got great cousins with super great uncle and aunty. Lol.  

What i really want for my brother is a good health and also infinity happiness for him.  

Same goes to my sister and bro in law.  

Doesnt like seeing anyone of them being sad or bring troubled by something.  

Hopefully my niece and nephew could grow up being kind and nice to everyone.  

Including mean people.  Because like i said,  life is a bitch.  No point playing fire with fire.  

Your aunty,  me,  been there done that. 

Just leave it. Haters gonna hate.  

Study hard and study smart and do something successful in their life.  

All of us will be super proud.  

And one day , when me and my brother start building a family,  they will be the eldest cousin among all. 

Responsible to 

Granny is now 80 plus,  very very healthy and still loud while scolding us.  Hahhahaha.  

Definetly a happy granny for having all of us together. 

I have a very happy and helpful family to be honest.  

So so so lucky to have all of them.  

Last but not least,  another man who means alot alot to me. 

Daddy will definetly be  number 1, brother will be 2nd one and he's the 3rd one. Hahahhahah.  

If u think we nve argued at all,  you're absolutely wrong lohhhh.  

We did la of course,  like any other couples do.  Lol.  

Mostly is me starting the fight one la.  

And most of the time due to period strikes looooooo. 

But im super proud of this old man because he deal with this period lady calmly. Lolololol.  

When i start losing my temper, he always sit there,  hug me and listen to me. 

Even when i pushed him away *guilty mode on * .

He still talk to me and do anything that could make me feel better. 

Even if my period stains the bed,  he told me to clean myself up  and he will clean the bedsheet.  \(_ _)/ 

Not sure abt u guys,  but definetly no guys treat me like this before loh!  

When we are on our holiday, every single ppl we met tends to ask how long are we married or is it our honeymoon moment. 

Sometimes i felt offended because we both have baby face,  and im still young.  And they way they said is like as if im old enough to married T.T 

It happened when i got my seasick and i couldnt stop vomitting.  

He was there,  waiting for me to puke all out and wrap my puke and throw them away.  

Then when we got on our boat,  he wiped my legs and start feeding me water and making sure im alright.  

A stranger just said "he's worth to marry.  He will be a good husband ".

Hahhahahaha.  Ok.  That was random and awkward but it make me felt that he's worth the appreciation. 

He may be quite *ehem* like to nag and keep repeat his words like old people,  but i guess he's just too concern and caring. 

Old man doesnt do romantic stuff,  but he think and planned wisely and treating me with full of respect. 

Oh ,  i pray pray really hard for this old man would stay and be healthy to grow old with me. 

Most important is being happy all the time.  Couldnt get enough of those smiles and laughters.  

Since we're growing older, he's abit worry of our health as well.  

You see,  the older we get,  the worrier we are about this and that. 

So he actually asked me to go for health screening together. 

He ended up buying all these supplements because he thinks we both should have them after seeking advice from the consultant. 

Hopefully we wont stop eating halfway because it always happen to me T.T 

Being in this healthcare line  at work always make me think about life and death from time to time.  

There's few times where client told us about patient passed away due to cancer or all sort of sickness,  i couldnt really handle it myself.  

I wonder how those doctors and patients handle those deaths. 

Are u taking care of yourself and your love ones now? 

Better be before its too late! 

Appreciate those who loves you. 

And shower them with love as well. 

Being your kitchen girl.

One moment,  i did mentioned before where i should probably start chasing my dreams instead. 

Well, when i first made this choice,  i was expecting more encouragement,  motivations and supports from the love ones. 

Especially the close friends. 

My parents is the first one who objected.  

They expect me to stay in my current job longer because it has more benefits of course. 

Ppl might think office job is easy.  Just sit there, facing computer and documents.

There's more shit to deal with actually.  

Weeks by weeks pass by,  showing my dad the pics from instagrams and cafes, i think he's a proud daddy now . Well,  half i guess. 

He's still worries.  Worrying that i couldnt handle them , everything being not stable or i wont be in the kitchen long because he's been in for almost 50 years and he wish to be working for others instead of running his own business at times. 

Running a business isnt easy.  But when my dad did it,  he's taking the risk and he's a superdad for being who he is now. 

Mom is slowly letting go the grudge as well.  She start being understanding of why am i so busy and start promoting our cakes in their restaurant. 

My siblings are very supportive.  

They told me im still young and i could take the risk.  

No point being afraid and stuck in one point for the rest of my life.  

Well,  from friends wise.  

Im quite dissapointed to be honest.  

I get more "cold water" than i expected.  

Hahahha.  

I was crying silently at one corner after accumulating all their "cold water " from blog and whatsapp. 

Till i start bursting,  marcus is thke one who got shocked.  Lolololol.  

Not sure is it a joke or not.  But if it is,  i dont think its funny. 

:/ 

Thats why marcus keep telling me not to take it seriously because i couldnt stop crying. Hahhahaha!  Hambao betul. 

The one that has been really supportive since the beginning is the love one,  Mr.M. 

He's my current assistant right now. Hehhe.  Just kidding. He's more like my dishwasher, my chef and my cheerleader!  

Been working till 1am few times and nvr once,  he leave me alone to bake. 

He stayed up with me till im done  :) 

I always ended up with burns,  cuts and bruises, at least he know i've put effort and encourage me to be better and careful.  

And start  helping me to stop my bleeding,  wounding my wounds.  Lol. 

This might sound silly,  but i still feel happy with all the plasters around my hands and fingers.   Hahahha.  

Most of my baking usually end up with "dear ahhh.  Why like this again?  Do you want me to change all your equipment to pvc and dress u up like a transformer? " 

Still make me smile.  Hahahhaha.  

Repeating customers is what i love most. 

Because it means they like it and they would come back for more! :) 

I remember my first visit to the cafe.  

Delivering the cakes in the morning and they start ordering more on the same night! Ahhhh.  That definetly put a smile on my face!  :)

A HUGEEEEE one!  

There's always a dilemma in life as well. 

Well me?  

I was in a dilemma to tender my resignation or not.  

I work for the sake of money and was trying so hard to save as much as i could.  

I dont think i love my job anymore as i dont felt appreciated. 

And i was hanging on.... because of 

.

.

. 

This...  

I need more money to spend for my holidays!  :/ 

Because its all planned well till end of the year already.  

Most of the time marcus told me not to worry abt financial.  

Well,  i didnt all these while until i tender my resignation letter.  

But what makes me happier?

The time i spent in the kitchen of course! 

Oh well,  guess i have to spend more hours in the kitchen since decision was made.  

Pray hard hard that the business could go well because i wanna shop without my budget,  using my own earnings.  

Its not going to be easy.  But i just have to be brave for the sake of my own future.  

Stepping back where i first left takes alot alot of courage. 

All i need to do now is to focus and to proof to those who look down on me that i can do it.

I always told myself "someday" when cold water starts pouring on me. 

Nvr let ones word affected you.  

Till then,  please stay tune for more new products by us Petiteserie Desserts! 

Will nvr disappoint you,  i promise.!  :) 

Epique @ Empire Damansara

For people who know me well,  Im not the coffee hopping / lover kind of person. 

Im more into chocolate drinks or fruit juice.  I've been visiting few cafes lately,  to expand our business, and now i know why people hang in cafes instead of mamaks where we used to. Hmm.  

Of course,  when you want to go for coffee hopping,  its always abt good coffees,  good cakes,  comfy environment and also best companion. 

With all of above,  you can have your own relaxing and enjoyable time right? :) 

Its such a lazy Saturday today. 

But I have to wake up pretty early and prepare myself to meet up with a cafe owner today.  

EPIQUE is the place!  :) 

Like i said,  im not the coffee drinker so Melvin tried their coffee instead. Haha.  

And with his high taste bud,  when he say its good,  it means really good.  

And after having a sip of Epique's coffee,  he said " mmm.  This is really good ".

Now you know where to find your fab coffee eh?  Heheh.  

All of our cakes have to go through him before being exposed to the public.  

Now you know where to find the fab cakes too!  Hahahhaha. 

 You also want a place where you feel comfy while enjoying them.  

This place is giving me the warmth because u can choose to sit at the sofa,  upstairs,  downstairs or outside. 

So many choices of sitting right?  

Thats what everyone like - VARIETIES. 

 Alot of people has been asking me do we sell them slices by slices. 

Unfortunately,  its a no as Janice and I still prefer selling by whole.  

But not to worry!  

Now you can enjoy our yummy cakes like Turtle Cheesecakes,  Gula Melaka Banana,  Salted Caramel Chocolate or Carrot Cake  with a cup of freshly brewed coffee at Epique @Empire Damansara!  

Do drop by when you have time!  

You know i only share good things  ;) 

Chasing dreams

I've been thinking alot lately.  

Too much till im really tired but i couldnt fall asleep.  

Im still busy, still stuck with work. 

Rushing home after work almost everyday to finish up the orders.  

Its been awhile since i have time for myself.  Because at the end of the day, im all worn out.  :(

At the age of 22, i think i should start thinking abt my future.  

I know,  i've receive alot of comments telling me that im only 22, i should enjoy life first.  

But as i grow older, ( yes,  im still growing), i stop chasing for stars and start chasing for dreams instead. 

All i wanna do is what's best for me and what i enjoy doing. 

Im curently stuck with making a choice should i stay what im doing and doing my pastry as part time.  

I wonder how long can i hold for doing both at the same time.  

Because one day, i was crying in the car after work.  I know why i cried of course.  

I couldnt say its a bad job or bad colleagues because they are all good.  

But i just wanna felt appreciated for once.  

Its true when they say no one can see your effort.  Only can see your wrongdoings.  

Its been almost 2 years being here now.  

I couldnt see myself being here in the future.  And im still wondering, do i still want to do the same thing in 2-3years time. 

I start baking once i reach home.  

Marcus said he can see the difference how a frown and tears 15mins ago has suddenly turned into frowns and giggles.  

I keep wondering,  should i be fully focus on my pastry and make it big.  

Working with Janice is wonderful i can say. 

Everything seems so smooth and so much fun while baking with her.  

The collaboration is going well too.  

Realizing it isnt a hobby anymore, its a passion instead.

Mom and dad has been warning me about leaving my current job because i wanted to fully focus on what im love doing.  

Its going to a tough job as well.  

I believe no job is easy especially job that could guarantee your future. 

But leaving and taking a new step isnt easy for me because im afraid. 

There's too much "what if " in my heart.  

Many ppl been really encouraging and supportive.  

Im glad to have everyone.  

Marcus even start helping me in the kitchen as well because i got not enough hands to do everything.  

Couldnt express how lucky i am.  

Im still in a dilemma.  

It will take a very huge courage to decide which path i should take. 

Didnt know making a decision will be this hard  :( 

But im sure theres always someone that could pick me up when i fall. 

So, what do you think eh?  

  

Summer Getaway- Krabi 2014

IM BACK !

I know I've been abandon my blog for quite some time now.

Im really sorry. I was really really busy and today is like the only Sunday I could rest this month.

I woke up at 11, had my brunch and went back to bed till 3pm 

-____________-

This proof Im really tired lately. 

Stuck up with so many work Im still wondering how long more could I handle my job.

Because when im at work, I started to miss my kitchen :x 

Opps !

Im back from my summer getaways 2 weeks ago.

It was a short one.

We didnt plan to go on holiday because we'll be heading to BKK on July. 

But there's too many ppl taking leave that we felt so imbalance. hahaha. 

so yeaaa, we took 4 days off to go on a short vacation.

Couldn't choose to go Boracay or Krabi but now u know where we ended at. Hehe. 

We chose our stay in Aonang Beach Cliff Resort .

It was heavenly. I highly recommended this place if you plan to visit Krabi next time. 

 Nice pool side right ?

Their wifi in their lobby is pretty fast as well. 

wait till you see their room.

 We requested for double bed , but 2 single bed is still fine for us. 

Just that the gap keep getting wider , no idea why and my feet keep burried in. LOL. 

 Best part in the room is we had a jacuzzi in our room's balcony !

i took a dip every single day after a long walk outside.

it was so so relaxing . 

 according to their website, only seaview room has jacuzzi in their balcony. 

Yup, and this is our room. 

how can i resist every day ?

 If you're a fan of snsd, you should know taeyeon been flying to thai to film CF for Bing collagen!

Its for sale at 711 at 20baht and all the flavour taste so so so good!

 We decided to go to the beach (our hotel is just 10 min walk to the beach.)

but it started to rain when we walked half way. :(

So we went for massage instead .

 Along the whole streets , i find it weird because most of the restaurant sells italian and indian food.

even thai food sell by indians, italians or malays and all the foods are 100baht and above. 

i find it quite hard to look for original thai food sell by thais.

quite disappointing to be honest.

but we decided to give a indian restaurant a chance and try their thai food.

we ordered seafood salad and beef pad thai. 

surprisingly, it was good. not like what we expected. 

 not sure what to eat at night, marcus found this place call Jenna's is on the top list of trip advisor.

claim to be that they have the best food in town.

so yup, we gave it a try. :)

its a fine dining bistro and they search really good food.

the environment is relaxing as well.

 we ordered crab salad with orange and avocado. 

it was good, every bite is just so refreshing.

oh ya ! and the bread behind, every bite felt like its fresh from the oven. 

 Next is the pork belly.

Not a fan of pork but this is really good !

The skin on top is so so crispy , now is miss it :(

Then we had ravioli, topped with melted cheese :) 

 If you're still wondering whats inside, here it is 

:)

 Desserts of the night ! 

Mango sticky rice with mango sorbet :)

 Woke up early for island hopping.

breakfast scenery is so relaxing :)

 Beautiful beach but too much photo bombed behind :( 

 I had my first snorkeling and it was so fun . 

i start chasing fishes tho. hehehhee. 

 and one monkey climbed into our boat and snatch all the bananas from us. 

hahahhahhaha. 

i was scared at first but he was being so cute until.. he start showing me his butt. LOL

 Suddenly felt that I've teleported to korea .

this side of the beach is full of koreans!

and korean words everywhere. LOL. 

We had street food that night. 

Tried their banana pancake.

More likely to look like banana wrapped with roti canai and some milk as topping. LOL.

I like this. i really like this because it was so crispy outside and soft inside !

we also tried mango flavour, and it was so heavenly.

can i bring my own banana or mango to the mamak and call them to make this ? :(

 Papaya salad ! 

a lil too sour for us but still taste okay.

its a salad, supposed to taste sour, why am i complaining. lol

 then we had grilled chicken !

look so tempting right ?

 then we had mango sticky rice again, 

its fresh mango actually. but i guess we didnt eat it soon enough, thats why it looks abit brownish :(

 breakfast again before heading for another activity.

one day, i'll definitely forget how to cut because i didnt have a chance to cut my own food. 

over pampering mode is on. never get to switch it off. hmmm. 

 i guess this is going to be my first and last time for elephant riding.

i dont like the feeling of sitting and stepping on them

:/

 We were waiting for the sunset. and this is what we done. 

too hyper, i can say

 and someone showing his creativity.

:))))

 this is our first trip and im glad its a great one.

the whole journey i've been taken care really well.

mom said i gained weight (not sure its a good thing or bad thing)

lol. now our plans are fully book till end of the year.

its going to be Bkk -> Singapore -> Korea and the last stop will be Japan! 

i can finally enjoy my Christmas in another place.

hopefully it could be a white christmas!

and also it means i must work harder so i could shop without budgets :x

thats all for now.

i'll be back soon and try and write more.

please do stay tune ! :)
