I am quite convinced now, that whenever I’m under a lot of stress, I bake. Or at the very least, I THINK about baking. Thank Goodness I don’t eat (that much of) those things I bake as much as I love baking them, kalau takkkkkkkkkkkkk huiiiiiiiii.. tak tauuuuu lah nak kata!

 

Anticipating the school holidays, I baked these over the weekend:

 

Chocolate Chips Cookies.

 

Yesterday, all throughout working hours, all I could think of was to go home and bake something. Anything!

 

This is weird, but looking at dough makes me happy.

 

Of course, I’m happier when it came out looking like this:

 

(Kebetulan Afiq demam malam tadi. I hope these buns will make him happy).

 

I ran out of sausages and tak de apa2 yang boleh dibuat inti. (Malas sebenarnya). So ni konon2 attempt to be creative.

 

These too. Korek2 peti ais, jumpa a slice of cheese. Potong2 and letak je atas bun tu and sprinkled with sugar. Yang bulat2 tu letak chocolate rice. Terbayang kalau dapat makan cinnamon roll, bestnya lah!

Cepat sangattttttttt budak kecik ni membesar. Sabar2 la dik, jangan cepat sangat!

 

Nampak je macho budak ni… beriya2 panjat. Dah sampai kat atas tu, dia tercegattttt kat situ 5-10 minit, tak gerak2. Gayat! Nak berdiri tengah2 line tu jugak2. Nanti bila dah besar, jangan drive tengah2 lane k? :P

 

Ni malam tadi. Mariessa nak baca buku. Mama ngelat, nak tengok Bones. :P. So Abang yang demam volunteer jadi cikgu.

Bila Mariessa dapat ulang balik apa yang dia ajar…”Mama, clever lah dia ni! Abang ajar sekaliiiii je, dia dah tauuuu dah!”

Tersengih-sengihhhhhhhhh la anak murid, dapat pujian daripada cikgu. :)

Called rumah kejap tadi:

 

Mariessa: Mama… Abang demam, dia tido. Adik pun tido sebab dia dah susu. Kakak dah Milo dah, tapi tadi Kakak dah tido, sekarang Kakak dah jaga, Kakak tak nak tido dah. Bila Mama nak balik? (Try saying all that in one breath!)

Mama: Mama balik petang nanti, sayang.

Mariessa: Ok. balik cepat tau?

Mama: Ok, InsyaAllah.

Mariessa: Mama balik pukul tujuh tau?

Mama: Haaa?? Kenapa pukul tujuh?

Mariessa: Eh! Pukul tujuh tu awal ke tak awal? Mama balik lah je awal, nanti Kakak bagi Mama tengok TV cerita Mama k? Biar Kakak habiskan tengok cerita Kakak kejap!

(Haiiii lah Kakak. Nanti kita tanya Ayah, kalau Mama tak nak pegi kerja langsung dah, boleh tak? :D)

اللهم لا سهلَ إلاَّ ما جعلتَهُ سَهلا وأنت تَجعَلُ الحَزنَ إذا شِئتَ سهلا

Maksudnya: "ya Allah, tidak ada kemudahan kecuali apa yg Engkau mudahkan, sedang yang susah itu bisa Engkau mudahkan, apabila Engkau menghendakinya"
