Mengeluh desah

Seolah kamu sahaja yang diuji

Merintih resah

Tuhan tidak uji untuk menyakiti

Sedarlah kamu dari mimpi duniawi

Bangunlah kamu berdoa untuk yang abadi

Mengharaplah kamu bukan pada manusia

Berlutut dan menyerah pada yang Maha Esa

Penatkanlah dirimu dengan bersyukur

Lelahkanlah dirimu dengan Redha

Jalan rezekimu sudah ditutur

Usaha dan lepaskanlah yang lain kepadaNya

Memang mudah menyusun kata

Namun tindakan juga harus senada

Berserahlah dan percaya

Tuhan itu untuk kamu, sentiasa ada

So since I have started my bakery business in 2015, I had all kind of plans. Nak buka branch sana lah, sini lah. But today, all these are no longer the goals I want to achieve.

Today, I’ll be more than happy to just own one bakery – and just maintain that so life won’t be so hectic, not worry about money so much and able to concentrate more on my ibadaah and more time can be spent with the family.

“Ones definition of success can differ from others. It can also change each year. Success to me is being there for the little things and not worrying about 10x more things.” – Johnny Cupcakes

I read this on his Instagram and it hit me. It’s so true. I no longer want the things I craved for 10 years ago. Yes, everyone wants financial freedom, myself included. But to what extent? I no longer want a villa-like home, with modern architecture but homey interior. Ok I’ll be lying if i say I don’t dream about my dream house from time to time, but I’m okay If I don’t get it in this world – because the rewards in Jannah tak dapat dibandingkan dengan apa pun di dunia ni. So a little sacrifice in this world for an eternal happiness in Jannah. I pray that Allah grant me rasa sentiasa bersyukur dan rasa cukup dengan apa yang dah dikurniakan olehNya.

Not ambitious enough? Maybe. But i think i’ll be happier spending more of my time with my loved ones and have less things to worry about. I’ll choose that on any given day.

If I’m honest I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew

Who be reckless just enough
Who can hurt but
Who learns how to toughen up when she’s bruised

She’s imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won’t ask for help
She is messy but she’s kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie

She is gone but she used to be mine

Assalamualaikum. So I went out with my usual bunch for brunch earlier today. We went to Tapestry KL.

Nice place. Love the ambience. Coffee was good, the big brekkie was okay, the brownies were GREAT! But my lovely company made it perfect. 😍

Itu je. Hahahaha. Now going over to a friend’s studio to do some painting. Let’s hope we can get at least one painting done today. InshaAllah

We had a complaint yesterday of a cake being dry and not up to the customer’s expectation, and we did what we normally do when we have complaints like this, we called other customers who has purchased the same cake – and all was happy with their purchases, Alhamdulillah. Except for hers, of course. It is unfortunate that our cake was not to her liking and up to her expectation.

With that being said, while I appreciate feedback from customers, as it is vital to our learning process on how to serve our customers better – and we do take all feedback seriously, I do not and will not accept negative comments that are downright rude and mean.

It’s your choice to not like something, but being bitter and spamming all the social media platforms while spewing out all these nasty comments are totally uncalled for.

Yes. I sound defensive, because I am! I’m not the one to let go of a complaint without having to discuss it with the team of how to be more careful, how to be more vigilant when preparing the desserts, how to serve our customers better, etc. Tapi agak agak la eh. Tak ada maknanya “Customer is always right” – not when you have crazy karens who thinks they’re above us who works in the service industry. As much as i need your business, I will not tolerate if you are to be rude to me or my staff members. Please, by all means, do not step a foot again at my cafe. We don’t need business from people like you.
