the 5th last day of the year

I can honestly say today has been a bittersweet day. Firstly, sleeping at 5am on Boxing Day was no fun at all, especially since I had to wake up early to bake with my brother. But some conversations were necessary that earned brownie points (hah!) worthy enough that I willingly stayed up to.

Woke up at 11am. Rushed to the clinic to get 2 jabs on both arms. One for flu and the other for Hep B. The former was much-needed since I kept getting bitten by the flu bugs. The latter was a booster as I did have some antibodies left for that but needed a boost immediately. My left arm is still sore. I wonder if the jab there was for the flu or Hep A. Got one more jab left; for Hep A. I reserved that for this coming Monday or Tuesday. There's just so much trauma one can take on one's body. I even suffered a nauseous run in the evening thanks to the jabs :(

The baking parade started before I arrived home. Yup, leave it to me to crash it! Hehe... We made two types of cookies! One is oats with cinnamon and the other is my fav. Listen up OK? BIG SOFT GINGER COOKIES! yummmmm.... I leave you with pictures of us cooking (or rather, BAKING) up a storm at the dining area.











yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy oat cinnamon biscuits :)

Ho ho ho....

Today has been a rather progressive and fulfilling day. In the early morning of today, the eve of Christmas Eve, I had my appraisal done with my boss. I would say it was rather fruitful and I hope something good will come out from the whole discussion. I'm glad she kept an open mind although I would've preferred that the personal comment was skipped altogether.

After that, I had to rushed through my work since we have important people coming tomorrow. Yes, I'm spending Christmas Eve in the office. How sad is that? :(

We had a training for new products. Pretty excited about these new stuff. I am rather intrigued with the whole history of the product and the resurrection of it the past few years. I hope we could market it real well here. Because... that would mean more moolah :) The conductor of the training flew in all the way from the States. So, that was pretty entertaining. I took a lot of pictures today. And i mean A LOT. The shutters were probably weary at the end of it. Poor thing.

I'm bummed about spending Christmas Eve within the four walls of the office. Four walls of home would definitely brighten up the day. We'll see.

I leave you with pictures of some deco I saw at Kepong. I think they're pretty cool eventhough very simple compared to over-spending and trying-too-hard decorations in our major malls.



Toodles!

It's a holi-holi-day!

Well... soon anyway. But the festive season is definitely getting to me. Me and my bro made a pack to bake this Christmas. It's definitely going to be jolly ho ho ho for our family and friends! We promise to make it real nice and edible :) We'll get started once my flu subside. Wouldn't want some 'extra' flavour in there, right?

Oh, guess what was in the mail today? :)


Thanks, Murni :) You're the best! Am loving the complimentary hairclip & in coral too (mmm... my fav!). Loving what you see here? Mimpi Murni blog is the No. 1 accessories blogshop that I'll stalk (that is when my moolah permits me to, of course ;) )

Check out her vintage-y accessories all handmade with love by Murni herself. You can also catch her at bazaars and events to meet the lady herself in the flesh and get 20% off her collections! (pssstt... You can subscribe to her updates so you'll never ever have to miss ANY updates! Believe me, you'll regret if you don't.) Did I also mention her designs are usually one-of-a-kind? It's quite rare that she repeats designs since most of the pieces are dated as far back as in the 1950s! More reasons for you to stalk her site :D

Back on today's events, I was out the whole day. Had my hair trimmed and straightened the front :) Will show you pics of them later!

I gotta go! Gonna indulge and stuff myself with lots of sushi today :D

Bye!
