making people happy

I have a weakness of liking sweet stuff. I just LOVE desserts. Cakes, puddings, chocolates, muffins.. you name it.
Hence I love baking too. Though I don't know which one came first.. must be the eating part..
Anyway, lately I've been baking again after leaving that hobby for quite some time..
It's kinda therapeutic.. To prepare the ingredients, put them together and end up with a finished product. It gives me some kind of satisfaction to have made something.. and then eat it and share it with others. I suppose that could be one of the ways I channel my energy and it feels great to feed people and make them happy..
Funny how it reflects who I am too - someone who often just wants to please everybody.. That's really a tiresome trait to have as I end up being labelled as `too nice'..
But is it wrong to be nice to people? Of course not, right? Am very much capable of being firm and `strong' and sometimes not so nice.. You should see me when I'm mean..
Bottom line is I think we should just try to be nice and pleasant people if we can help it. Cuz what goes around comes around right?

ps/ This post reminds me of a song I love in Sleepless In Seattle which goes like this:

`It's so important to make someone happy. Make just one someone happy...' - Jimmy Durante

a note before midnight

It's the end of June.. soon it will be July - my favourite month ;) Significant things are happening in July. Results. Decisions to be made. New students, new class, new people to break my heart.. Anyway, it didn't work. My time off. Remind me not to have any time off from the world wide web cuz it'll never work. Can't be separated. Today was not a good day. I need to get my eyes checked cuz my lack of power which I never knew, is giving me terrible headaches and I couldn't see the writing on the mahjong papers my students presented today :( and my power is already 600!! :(( Ok.. gotta go battle with my cat and shove a pill down her throat. Please cooperate. If you're interested: sher127.tumblr.com goodnight readers of my blog..

under the weather

I think I'm one of those people who rarely get sick, praise be to Allah for that. Yet when I do fall sick, it happens usually during the weekends or a long holiday like right now. Mind over matter. That's what I tell myself when I refuse to give in to my `helpless' condition.. If not I'd not be able to get things done. Yet of course our body needs to rest. Needs to heal. So rest we must.. and with that, I bid farewell for a while until I get back to my normal self. Abdullah r.a berkata, Rasulullah bersabda: “ tidak ada seorang muslim yang ditimpa cubaan berupa sakit dan sebagainya melainkan dihapuskan Allah taala dosa-dosanya seperti pohon kayu menggugurkan daunnya.” God willing.

a sight for sore eyes

Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.
