What happened on last weekend of school holidays...

The house feels so quite. All the 3 boys are in school. Last Wednesday hubby bought a few working shirts in Sogo but when he came back he just noticed how shiny one of the shirt was. He decided to change it and i told him to do it on Friday as i was so wanted to go the Sogo area after Mrs. N's posting of Jalan2 Masjid India here.

In spite of one cupcakes order for hantaran due on Friday, I told hubby i would fetch him from work and we would go to Sogo after that. So, early Friday morning after sending hubby to the bus stand, i baked the chocolate cupcakes. I let them cooled off half an hour later while i blogs hopping. When the boys woke up, went to have breakfast of roti canai and tose. Came home and started to deco the cuppies. Put on the fondant top on all 25 as ordered. The cut offs flowers were done the night before, so were the hearts. As the clock showed 12.45 pm, took a break by sending the boys to the mosque for their Friday prayers...they could cyle, but it was a hot day. Furthermore, i love the cendol selling in front of the masjid. I dropped them off and my Angah bought the cendol and i went home. Continued to decorate the cupcakes, and just finished when my Angah called saying they were done. The Abang wanted to walk home but i told them i would fetch them.
The customer collected the cupcakes at 3.30 pm beside Giant behind my house and the boys and i left for KL right after that. I took my time driving along the Sban - KL highway as hubby only finish at 5.30. Still, we arrived his office a good half hour earlier we just yakked and waited for him in the car. Hubby drove to Sogo as hes more familiar with the roads around his office to avoid Friday evening notorious traffic. I remembered from one article about shopping is best done with a full stomach, i told the whole gang to have early dinner at Insaf then shopped. The place was half full and we ate beriani rice and chicken for the boys, i ate beef with hubby. Then i shopped at Jakel as the boys and hubby went to Sogo. I had not bought material for baju kurung for so long, i really have lost touch in choosing the nice ones. Hope i made a right choice he he...then i went to Sogo's supermarket to get ingredients for my tartlets demo class on Saturday morning. I got strawberry, oranges, kiwi, tuna and a few others, and waited around there for the boys to finish shopping with the father.


Saturday morning, woke up at 4.00 am, baked the tartlet bases and cupcakes for a birthday do. While waiting for the cuppies to bake, i cut the edible images of so cute Hanna. When the cuppies cool down, decorated them with the images. As i was cleaning up the mess and getting ready to go to Amore for the class, my sister and the husband came from Pilah. They made me late going and i felt so guilty toward the participants of the demo session. 1001 apology to you all.
Below are the pictures of the demo session at Amore-eBake in Oakland Seremban 2( i copied from Amore blogspot here). But i did need their hands to finish the bases of tartlets or else the session would take the whole day. I enjoyed sharing the knowledge with them and they were a very inquisitive lot. They asked a lot of questions which i find it enlightening. It was quite an interactive session. I have to thank the owner of Amore, the kind and gracious lady Puan Nur Adriana for inviting me to do the demo in her shop. I hope i will do this again soon.



After the demo, with Puan Nur assistance, i had to assemble an order of 2 boxes of fruit tartlets which i needed to send together with the birthday cuppies to Paroi Jaya at 3.00 pm. Thanks again Nur and after that off i went home, collected the cuppies and with hubby we went to look for the house. The cuppies and tartlets were handed over in a heavy rain. Went home after that, took a shower and had a 15 minutes nap. Woke up and paid a visit to my hubby's aunt and uncle who just safely home from the Holy Land for an Ummrah. At 6.45pm, we rushed to Kolej Mara to fetch my niece who attended a seminar for PMR students. She stayed with us that night and i send her back to the Kolej at 7.30 am on Sunday. Her parents fetch her home later in the evening. It was a leisure Sunday all the way after that.

Wow.. that was quite a hectic weekend there! But I'm glad a few people had visited Insaf after I wrote that post. That place sure brings back a lot of memories for some people...

So, dapat tak kain baju raya??
