Bits And Pieces

This is our first try making this cake. My daughter has been wanting to bake this cake on her birthday but she held on until last Eidul Adha...since we didn't go back to our kampung, we needed to cook something festive, just to get the feel... Anyway, Red Velvet Cake was not a bad idea at all... the colour is so rich and the taste is heavenly... I love the rich velvety colour right from the start... We decided to make cupcakes instead of the ordinary full-sized one and they are awesome... I just love the colour... And it will definitely be my new favourite cake...

Check out the school calendar for next year... plan your holidays ahead and have fun... This is for the schools in group B and this one is for the schools in group A... Thank God, next year I will still be enjoying the school holidays like my children before our school changes status to college in 2014...

Yesterday, it was raining almost all day long...nonetheless, we needed to go out doing our grocery shopping and all...first we went to a workshop in Kuala Selangor coz one of the cars needed to be serviced... After it was done about one hour later and while we were there, we went to the market in Pasir Penambang not far away away from the town. The market is well known for its varieties and fresh sea foods. We only go there once in a while, so we bought a few kilos of fish... When it's raining, normally we feel hungry, hence hubby suggested we stopped by at Restoran Ibu for their famous 'nasi ambang.'  I had to share the plate with my daughter because it is a lot in a plate...  On the way back, we stopped by at a cendol 'drive thru'...in the rain, it's so convenient...

Alhamdulillah, mom had arrived in Mecca safely two days ago. We were worried about her to be travelling alone without any family members. But mom sounded very happy and she doesn't seem to face any difficulties so far...I'm so grateful... She was very adamant about going even though my brother (and wife), who was supposed to accompany her had to postpone his visitation due to unforeseen circumstances.. Any way, wish my mom all the best and we are missing her a lot...especially the grandchildren.. Bye nenek, see you in fifty days...

I attended this conference last month in Avillion Legacy , Malacca. The hotel is elegant and we had an awesome time there even though the schedule was quite packed for us. There were distinguished guest speakers from Austria, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand who shared their priceless information and experience with all of us regarding their vocational education. All of the speakers had enlightened and lifted our spirit to transform into vocational college next year... Hence, we came up with a number of resolutions at the end of the 4-day conference. Most importantly, the  Director of Technical and Vocational Division claimed that Avillion was chosen as our venue was due to the fact that it resembles most buildings in Austria. I was among the 300+ participants who attended the conference represented technical and vocational  schools from all over the country. I got to meet friends from my former schools in Pahang, Kelantan, Selangor an...
