How to handle idiots for dummies

Is there one such book out there?

I also need one on "how to handle people who are in denial". Oh! And one for "how to stay calm when dealing with lier". Ahh... I think the one I need most is "Handling Idiot Boss".

Humph...

I need a location for TeaRoom desperately!

Any one who's an property agent out there? Or you have friends who are? Please drop me a note here and I will contact you soon.

Good luck to me!

Lucky to have a dream

I've suffered from Internet connection problems for more than a week. I have a feeling though, that the connection might just decide to get itself disconnected anytime now.

Have been busy last 2 weeks and did not have any stories in here for a long long while. I also have not been to the gym for the same long while. Today, I finally made it to the gym and found that my gym bag was incomplete. I must have packed the bag 2 weeks ago for that particular day 2 weeks ago. There was one top but with 2 pairs of pants to match - a long pants and a three quarter. Hhmm... I must have planned to join combat/ balance/ jam (?) followed by pump/ RPM with that attire combination. Otherwise, I just couldn't decide what class to join. And then I discovered that there were no bandanna and no clothes to change into after workout. Yeah, I had to change back into my dirty work clothes after shower.

Did RPM today. Before class I managed to get my present from KG - a bandanna. Perfect isn't it? And before I went down, bumped into BO on his way to his 3rd class (combat). Wow... once upon a time, I could also make it to early classes and could join at least 3 classes per gym visit. Gone were those days.

After RPM, I had a chat with KG. Updated her on a few progresses and got some great motivation from her on pursuing the TeaRoom dream. Yes, I do feel really lucky that I have a dream which I can head towards. And this is the right age to do so she told me.

Checked my phone before shower and got a text from Aunt saying that she's sick of the corporate hellhole. She said she would rather sell "G cheong fun". Asked if she was serious and whether she had the funding, and what would she really want to do. She said she has but just her two hands. Yes again, I do feel really lucky to have a dream, a target, a direction and a path which I wish to follow.

Now is the waiting time.

Little Teddy Bear

Here's the teddy bear. Hopefully I'll be able to make one that's as cute as Forever Friends teddy soon. Full story at the TeaRoom blog.

Booties are for birthdays too

Ladynina, here's the type of occasion you can consider ordering cuppies with the booties. :)

I got this!!!

Here is my 5 days 5 nights of hard work! :)

Having a baby

I've had plans to make these since I've learnt about MC's pregnancy. She would have to order her baby full moon gift away from me right? Haha... So happened LGM got me a lead, an inquiry for baby full moon cupcakes. I've done something for baby shower before but I wanted to introduce something special. So since I finally had time today, I made a few of these.

The mittens need to be perfected, they are not round enough so you might not be able to figure out what they are. The bibs, they need to be in brighter colour since icing is yellowish. And bigger bibs allow more details to be included.

I was actually very tired last week. Went to dinner with PiC last night and I was almost falling asleep when we said farewell. We had a great gossip session but dinner was so so because the blur PiC got her request of restaurant wrong. Haha...

My immediate boss is leaving, his last day is next Tuesday. Sigh... work will never be the same anymore without him.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I was actually booked for a wedding cupcake this week - BIL's younger sister's wedding in Macao. Yes! The cupcakes just flew 4 hours on the plane and they are now in Macao, waiting to be presented at dinner tomorrow night. Oh, I'm so proud of them. :) I hope they don't do so bad. Will post those picture when MC comes back with the pictures. I hope she comes back with the pictures.

So there were only 5 boxes of wedding cupcakes, I thought since wedding is Sunday, I wanted to bake the cupcake as late as I can, which I did on Thursday. Decorate Friday night, fly off Saturday early morning. I foresee help needed, so booked my little TeaRoom helper. Thanks to her, I saved a total of 6 hours. I actually paid her for the 6 hours of good job, let me start her with her first salary. :)

Later the week, more orders came in, I rejected 1 order due to time constraint and that order was a bit complicated. Then Rose wanted to order pudding and chocolate cake for her party. I had to turn down the chocolate cake order, sorry dear, really didn't have time, but I tried my very best to deliver the pudding at least. I hope she was able to get a nice chocolate cake from, Secret Recipe maybe.

Finally, SSB's order was placed. Never turn down her order. She was my first cupcake customer. That was back in Maxis gym days, she took a box of medium cupcakes then.

Here's her box of cupcake for her Mother's Day celebration. To view other pictures, go to my TeaRoom blog.

Besides paying my little helper (my cousin sister whom I've also booked for helping out at TeaRoom proper when it's open) I also offered her to bring home a small box of cupcake for her mum. I let her write her own wording on the heart. Not bad, I actually quite like her writing.

Here's her box of cupcake and a picture she took. Not bad eh.
