What would you do if your garage is full of thorny fruits, and at the same time, you have a block of butter, ngam-ngam 2 eggs in your fridge, flour, sugar and an oven in the house? ;p


hehe..durian cake, it is. i made durian swiss roll before, but my recipe for swiss roll is not reliable. there was once i tried to bake, but the egg would go fluffy. i tried with almost 6 eggs. and, from that day on, i never bake swiss roll anymore.

last night, i baked two butter cakes and make durian cake. i started at 10pm and finished at around 1am. i thought that, ben will be able to eat them, before he fly to KL. but, when i woke up this morning, the cake were still in the fridge untouched..and he is already in the airport.


roddy and milia are away, outstation. mom and dad are in membakut. me and kakak, surely cant finish the cakes. so, i brought the cake to office and causes the whole office smells of durian. =)

last month, i was given a complimentary credit card by the bank because of my good record with them. (hehe, it was actually dad's clean record with the bank, but i dont know what happen along the way, i was the one chosen to get the card..perhaps i know, but it's a long story). and after collecting the card from the bank, i started to get calls from strangers..strangers here, referring to unknown numbers and all of them were KL line, where the numbers start with 03-xxxx xxxx. so far, i've got 3 calls..1) AIG, the insurance company, 2) WWF, 3) the ARMADA, the i-dunno-what company. they started the conversation with a friendly tone, trying to catch my attention.

the first call, from AIG, they offered a so-called very good premium only for selected people (and kononnya, i was lucky to be selected) and the premium is to cover any small accidents including snatch cases and many more which i didnt really concentrate during the conversation because i just hope that i can end it as soon as possible..all i have to pay is RM30 ONLY per month. if i agree, payment will be automatically made through my credit card. believe it or not i AGREED! when i told mom about it, she asked me to call them back to cancel it. it is not necessary because i have already have my life insurance. luckily i asked for their customer service number because i guess i will regret with my decision, and i need to call them back. but the bad thing is, until today, i cant get through the customer service line. *sigh*

the second call was from WWF, and i would not talk much about this. basically, they ask for donation/fund. and i can choose how much would i want to give. either RM30, RM50 or RM100. i chose to give RM30 and opted that they deduct from my bank account rather than my credit card..and i AGREED to this too..for this, i'm okay because i'm helping the wildlife. i would not know if they misuse the fund, but God knows.

after a few days, the third call came. i cant take it anymore that people asking me to agree and pay for something that i dont really want to. i learned to say NO. the lady on the other line asked for all my particulars..my IC number, my home address, my position in the company, etc etc etc..then, when i feel like im giving away to much information, i asked her, what is she offering me (sigh! i should ask this even before i give any info about myself!). she offered a VIP card which the membership is free for life bla- bla- bla- bla- bla..the 'free-for- life' words are so nice to hear, and in the end of her sentence, 'kami hanya kenakan bayaran RM588 sekali sahaja'. this is how people got tricked. i learnt my lesson. i firmly told her that she dont have to send anything to me, because I AM NOT INTERESTED WITH HER CARD! she actually tried to persuade me with her soft voice asking, 'kenapa cik sandra tak nak?' bla- bla- bla..and i keep on saying, 'SAYA TIDAK BERMINAT!' in a slightly higher tone. i think i repeated the same sentence for about 4-5 times..finally she gave up and hung up the phone even before she finish her sentence. i think she was annoyed.
at least, i made my point.

the laboratory division was in charge of the 3rd quarter of birthday celebration for this year. apart from birthday, we welcome the newcomers and also celebrate the hari raya festival. so, responsibilities were divided to everyone of us.

the main dish was prepared by azrah.. and everyone who joined was very satisfied with what they got. this time we collected RM7 from each person, and i guess that's the highest collection we ever did. when i first joined the company, the usual amount was only RM3 per person. hehe.

we had:

fried bee hoon

rendang ayam

kacang panjang

tuna sandwiches

honeydew pudding

fruit cocktail agar

the fruit: watermelon

the drinks: mango cordial

fruit cake

birthday gifts
