First of all thank you LP for ordering cupcakes from me; Thanks KG for confirming the chocolate cake for your upcoming birthday celebration; Thank you dear (Carebear) for getting a cake from me for your mum's birthday; Oh, also thanks ya MC, for ordering and promoting the cupcakes at your office party; SSB, thanks! It's my honour to be supplying you cupcakes on your special day. Happy birthday.
Even MFG ordered a box of cupcakes...
Sounding like giving a thank you speech after receiving an Oscar. Haha...
LP's order just came in through FB, and luckily I thought I will send her a text to confirm. I was being really "tai tou ha" (big head prawn = careless), when I saw 23rd, I thought it's coming Monday (yeah, too "kan cheong" already, thought LP would like to collect when I see her at gym). Know what? She's ordering for 23rd APRIL lah... Hee... Very good customer, and must be a good planner since can order a month in advance :p. Thanks dear.
The other day I got an order from a "stranger". She was a contact from Facebook, through one of the MyFM DJs, whom I added just for the sake of having them. These famous DJs got themselves like 2000 new friends just over perhaps 3 days. Wow... This "new FB friend" of mine ordered a chocolate cake (with liquer) for her father's 60th birthday, wah! What an honour! And a box of cupcakes as door gift to impress her friends. Geezz... I'm so flattered, so glad that the cupcakes can do as much as impressing people. Sob...
Was at a gathering today and made a white chocolate bread pudding. Oh... they were actually hoping for a cake. Haiya, why didn't tell me? But actually, I was in a tight schedule and bread pudding can be made real quick. I must make a point to make them a chocolate cake during the next gathering. KG couldn't make it to the gathering because she had to go fix her car. Her windscreen got a crack.
It's SSB's birthday tomorrow, Happy Birthday babe! May all your dreams come true and many many pleasant surprises on your special day. I am glad that my cupcakes get to accompany you throughout the whole year since last year. Actually, since the inception of TeaRoom. My first cupcake customer.
If everything goes on well, TeaRoom opens it's store front end of this year. Need all your supports and please pray for me. :)

寿桃 for birthday cupcake
This was an order by my colleague. This was originally a full box of 16 medium cupcakes but she wanted more at the last minute. Since I couldn't bake more, but she needed to give a few to her client, I actually took out 5 of them from the big box. So it was sort of difficult to design and very difficult to arrange the cupcakes. Not to mention not having box of the correct size.
This was the best I can do. And on the cupcakes was my new 寿桃 design. I think there is a better way of making them actually.
Here is the making, with ready to roll icing:

And I thought I won't be complaining again
Suddenly got a text at lunch: "Hey having loh su fan is it? BO"
He did really sign off as "BO" I didn't like modified to nickname. I think we are all starting to grow on our blogging nicknames. The other reason why BO signed off as BO was because I haven't got his number on my phonebook. After a bit of searching, and some more texting. I finally located him some 2 tables away. I "introduced" BO to some of the characters who normally appears in my blog and told him I will be complaining about that particular character sitting next to me then.
Very early yesterday morning, there was a conference call with WWW and the team over here, including my immediate boss. I really hate meeting early morning. Humph... everyone sounded annoyed in the call, I tried to maintain my zen-ness. After the call ended, since there were a few things which we need to look into, I asked the white shirt lady (BO would know who ya) what does she wants me to do, and asked her to give me more details if she would like me to write up some contents etc etc... she kept saying that we will work together, well, yeah, I know, but tell me what you need like NOW? since we are IN A MEETING. Won't you might as well get things clear, also big boss already joined us by then? And out of no reason, she got hot and said "if it's about who is doing what, then I'll do it. I'LL DO IT OKAY!"
Wooow... what's that all about? To me, it looked like showing big boss she's got a lot to do, and she is the one who had to do everything. Geezz... Fine. Do it all. I'm not going to fight for work lor. At the end of the day, she would still have to come to me since some of the collateral are to be in Chinese, mwah hahaha... and BO you know why my evil laughter right? And MC if you can guess who this white shirt lady, you too know why my evil laugh.
Now a days, office is full of CYA (cover your ass) and politics. You may say everywhere is the same. But this used to be a very comfortable working place. A lot of us are disheartened because new people disturbed the culture. Oh well, this is life I guess, like IB always like to tell me.
Meanwhile, the killer cat fish had been sent away to a new home. He looked quite pitiful yesterday when I scooped him up. Poor thing, but I'm sure he'll have a better life in the big pond.
Told Carebear later through MSN that I have serious muscle ache from doing balance. Then I found out how BO got my number. Hehe...
I was on my cupcake project till midnight last night, I hope I survive through. Tonight another late night to finish up the decorations. 3 deliveries tomorrow :). There is also a confirmed order for next Friday from a stranger. TeaRoom is expanding, and hopefully will have a store front end of this year.
Still praying.

I'm Zen
Woke up in the morning thinking I survived combat alright. Was really punching hard last night in Shades' class at LM. The class was great as I said, but too bad not "noisy" enough. Anyways, towards the evening, some muscle aches finally kicked in and I had a really tight shoulder and tired back, like I need a REALLY good stretch.
Carebear (are you still called this nickname?) said she will be launching balance at TC today. Perfect! And although MC was no where near Damansara, she was all interested to join the class too. So there we were balancing with utmost zen-ness. Haha...
The new release (not that I do balance much) enjoyable. Tough but not suffering long. Perhaps it was because of good company or I've advanced in my stamina! :p There were a lot of core strengthening, as promised and that track was tough. I couldn't even get myself to do full range, I even had to drop to my knees most of the time.
I like the mind and body studio at TC, very zen. Love the water dripping sound in the background, the candle light... but too bad, the mic actually spoilt the atmosphere. Also, it was a bit too cold in the studio for me.
Overall good, at least I'm a bit more zen now. I need to bake tomorrow, hope to show you some new cupcake toppers on Friday.
TD ordered a box of mini cupcakes for her RPM, I'm making her cupcakes slightly special since she's regular customer. Make sure you attend her class!

If Monday can be any bluer
THANK GOD FOR SCHOOL HOLIDAY!!
Today I went to work dressed to the theme of blue Monday. Went to sleep at almost 1am trying to finish copy writing and this morning woke up like a zombie (if zombies ever to wake up). (Ahhh!! It's 11.40pm! MUST sleep soon).
Arrived at office and Sei Lo! Discovered that a fish I bought for boss' birthday was lying at the bottom of the tank. Okay, it's more of the bones lying at the bottom of the tank. Yiaksss! Horror! It's been eaten by the cat fish. BAD FISH! So disappointed with that fish! Arghhh... It was so eerie you know! Anyways, did the burying ceremony. Not a good way to start the day hor.
Then first lesson learnt at work, never, N.E.V.E.R. arrange meeting on Monday mornings (it's originally last Wednesday but got delayed 2 times till I must have it Monday morning). So, major told off my bad mood big boss. Really, couldn't answer most of the items because it's really beyond our intelligence.
After that morning meeting was another meeting, through lunch. Geezz... how can one eat while conducting meeting? I only manage to eat a little (which result in a VERY hungry TTB by the time she arrived at her combat class later in the evening) and was really distracted in the second meeting by the 137 items which have been assigned in the first meeting with the deadline of tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Argh... pull hair.
Just when I thought I can do the "phew" and peacefully wait for Little Bro (who would arrive in one hours time) to collect the cupcakes, I was being bugged by the WWW (No no no... not world wide web, the Wicked Witch of the West lah) and had to run around "serving" her even though she's in another country for business trip now. Then was called into a conference call (some of you can already foresee where this story is going...) and my colleagues were sniggering when I came out because they could hear me (shouting). Hey, it was speaker phone, I HAD to speak loud. Humph...
So guess what? I had 6 missed calls on my phone from Little Bro! Arghhh.... I missed him and when he called me again, he was on his way to Axis. Sei lo! The cupcakes how? Okay, calm down. I told Bro I will send to gym after work.
Told boss I had to leave 6pm sharp. Okay, that's taken care of, I'm sure I can arrive on time before the first class ended at 6.30pm.
As the title of this post suggested... here it went again. Boss came out and said, "remember there is a conference call at 5.30pm?". Haiyo... Sei lo!
Okay, don't panic.
My ever SO nice boss dismissed me before the whole conference call was over (I'm not even going to story me pulling hair due to the discussion and outcome of the call. More "sei lo".). I rushed out at 6.15pm and my other colleague shot me a series of inquiries she got from WWW, which I couldn't even figure out if those were matters which I needed to attend to or she was just FYI-ing me. Anyways, I told her I was really really sorry, but I had to go. Please email me, drop me a note, call me, whatever.
It's a miracle!!! Thank god it's school holiday, managed to arrive in Axis in 15 minutes! Was late and I felt so bad for missing Bro's collection AND being late. I hope there was not much damage done.
THAT, was not the end of my day. I had made arrangement to attend Shade's combat at LM with MC. Okay, PJ to Cheras in half hour possible? School holiday had never given me so much hope.
But when I hit federal highway, I texted MC "Sei lo! F. Highway v jam ah! U go in class first stand at back. Near door. Will join in later". And to teacher, sorry I interrupted the class 10 minutes after it has started.
Phew... finally I can relax. Erm... I don't really mean relax in a combat class, but you know what I mean right? Glad I made the decision of joining the combat class, class was great but a bit quiet, no one shout one? Well done to MC for finishing the class! You did it again! Keep it up.
And I must end this post abruptly because I really need to go sleep. I need my brain cells and need to be creative for the cupcake design coming Thursday.
