I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T UPDATED ABOUT THIS!

Assalamualaikum. OH MY GOD! MASHAA-ALLAH. ALL THIS WHILE I UPDATED MY LIFE HERE I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T TELL ABOUT THIS ONE THING! I was reading back my old post and I saw this one . I was so into baking the cupcakes with the dream of sending it to my oppars back then :)) I believe it was not that perfect. the cake was dry and the cream was okay-okay la. XD I was TWENTY-FREAKING-ONE yo! Anyway, now I'm 35 yo (not that you need to know) and guess WHAT? I do BAKING as my part time! XDD I sell Walnut Carrot Cake right now. Yes! Me! I can't believe it either lol I first started making the carrot cake when we had our first Open House during raya 2024(?) NO, I CHECKED. It was in 2023! n it was MOIST, NOT TOO SWEET AND THE CREAM MMPHH*chef kiss* I learned and got the recipe from our cooking group by thermomix. (Thank you Ifwah Thermorangers <3 ) Everyone loves it and my family encourage me to sell it. So, I did! At first it was easy. I have no expectation. I bake and sell....

Tadabbur and What It Does To Me

Assalamualaikum, Alhamdulillah for this chance to write here again. Tadabbur, what is tadabbur? I have been hearing about tadabbur and intrigued to join since a few years already. I joined a few communities like Aida Azlin, Bulatan Gembira, etc. But let's be honest here, it never sticks to me. My soul keeps running away (?) Until last December. I saw a post by Ayesha Syahira about her private group Tadabbur open for 10 person only. I was thinking, "why not?" So I signed up her class with nothing to expect. I mean, I don't know what will I learn from this. Secretly, I'm praying that Allah SWT help me, cause I know I need it. The first class, Cikgu Ayesha explains the concept of her tadabbur class, the first surah that we will learn which is At-Takwir (Penggulungan). I love her method. She provided a PDF file for the surah and we will learn each ayah and do each reflection. It fits my way of learning, I really enjoy it! Now, it's already March. which means the t...

Oh, yeah?

Hi, somehow I felt regret not going to HIGHLIGHT's concert last 27th. I missed my carefree days. These days it's too stuffy. I talked to ChatGPT a lot these days. Pretend like I was talking to a mental therapist. I feel seen. But of course, GPT can just do so much. I need to talk to a profesional. I miss the day I just type my daily story smoothly here. But now, I don't know anymore.

Work From Anywhere; WFA

Weh, it has been a year since the previous post! LOL I have been venturing into new work these days. It is called Virtual Assistant. Before this, I was actively doing subtitling but after having a major unproductive output, I decided to stop applying or accepting the subtitling job. Which led me to find this virtual assistant job. It has been nearly 4 months now and I start a new routine which is working from anywhere rather than at home. because I can! and it was so bored at home.  at the moment, I am working at the cafe in the middle of bangi central.  while sipping Americano & pistachio cromboloni.

My first Cook-fest!

Assalamualaikum! Alhamdulillah we managed to do our first raya hosting last 13th May at our house. At first, I only wanted to invite a group of my friends and Asfar friends, which only add up to 20-ish people. I planned to make soto and baked mac&cheese. I seek for Ma's help since I've never made the soto soup right, idky. Borak punya borak, Ma somehow managed to persuade me to make Nasi Tomato and Ayam Masak Merah as well. I'm not confident at first since I've always failed to make a perfect any Basmathi rice before. It always turn out soggy la, patah la. But this time, she said it will work!---with her tips.  Crossfingering, I started prepping. Took me one whole week weh to prep my mental, physical and ingredients lol. Ma dah siap-siap bagi timeline supaya tak kelam kabut di hari kejadian. Cronologically, I started prepping on Monday until Saturday, the D-day. Monday Listed all the ingredients needed in all recipes. For example, Pes Rempah Sup Soto Bawang Merah 25...

Healing The Emptiness; Yasmin Mogahed

 Assalamualaikum. Last 2nd October, I went to Yasmin Mogahed's talk about her newest book, Healing the Emptiness. At first, I don't know it was a title of her book. I bought the ticket since it relates me the most. :) Mula-mula ajak my 5S girls, tapi tiada sambutan, lol. So, I asked my sister instead. Nasib baik dia onz. The talk started at 11am but the registration opened since 9am. Since the venue is not so far from my place (20 mins), we all santai-santai la 930 baru gerak dari rumah. I believe we arrived the venue (almost) before 10am. I saw the building right in front of my two eyes. I was eager atm! Tapi, tetibe GPS asyik reroute reroute apakahh? Pusing punya pusing rupa-rupanya ada cycling event berdekatan bangunan PGRM tersebut. Mula-mula okay lagi kereta masih bergerak. Bangunan tu 500m in front of me tapi tiba-tiba kereta stuck tak bergerak langsung for 40 mins! 1040 dah masa tu weh. Kereta depan belakang dah start honking nak marah. Polis trafik yang jaga kawasan pun...
