Cuppies!!!

Few months break, thought my cuppies here would serve the eyes of you, wonderful readers. Had been wanting to bake and blog all this while, but time just didn't persist. I'd to put aside all the kitchen chores and the smell of fresh home-baked cakes on Sunday evenings for few moments.

These cuppies were baked on request of my sister, who always crave for my so-called 'tempting' couldn't resist cuppies.. Mmm.. that's what she said. She loves the sense of vanilla and buttery smell upon opening the box.

Guess it's the perfect time to continue my baking journey. I might stop for a while, but it never ends. That's the passage of life.

'Getting started, again..'

Oh God! It's quite hard for me to find words to start this post. Month of April has proved rather busy for me. I was not able to make my usual posts so do memes, and most importantly was reading outstanding blogs that I've been following. To mention them, I'm sure it's gonna be a long list here. So maybe if you have the time to visit and say hello, I've listed them on the right side-bar of my page. Have a pleasant journey visiting those wonderful bloggers!

I hope it's not too late to wish a very 'Happy Mommy's Day' to wonderful moms all over the world. Many thanks to every mommy who has meant so much to the children in her life, hope you enjoyed your day whether with family or friends.

And to my one and only mommy, thanks for your love...

Another big celebration..

Chinese New Year of Ox, 2009 is just about to arrive. For the Chinese, get set to welcome the year and have a very prosperous New Year ahead!

New Year Cupcakes

Although we are in the 6th day of 2009, the celebration's not over yet. On new year's eve, I was too busy in the office for year-end closing, while others were enjoying their moments leaving 2008 memories behind. I remembered, at almost 11.00 post-meridiem I was still on the road trying to reach home by midnight.

Luckily, I managed to get home as I wished but I was too tired to welcome the new year. Fireworks lighting up the sky in the city can be seen from my home but again, I didn't feel the whole excitement. At that time, getting enough sleep was all I needed. Yeah... I didn't celebrate on the exact time, it was only since the past few days I started to send wishes to friends & relatives. Pathetic, wasn't it? :)

And only last Sunday I prepared few boxes of cupcakes with 'Happy 2009' wording and distributed them to few families of friends, relatives & neighbours. They were so happy & thanked me of being so thoughtful although I was quite late. Time doesn't matter, it's their happiness makes me feel so alive.

To all...

'We make living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give...'

'..our life is full of colors, I hope this 2009 will add more colors to your life...'

Happy New Year!!!

Dawning of a New Year 2009..
New hopes, new joys and new beginnings..



May you have..

Enough happiness to keep you sweet,

Enough trials to keep you strong,

Enough sorrow to keep you human,

Enough hope to keep you happy,

Enough failure to keep you humble,

Enough success to keep you eager,

Enough friends to give you comfort,

Enough wealth to meet your needs,

Enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow,

Enough determination to make each day better than the day before.

Let's turn a new leaf..

With the smell of new rain..
