The Bundt Pan Story

Day - Thursday

Time - Almost midnite

Me (while crawling under my duvet cover) : I want my bavaria bundt pans! … (and making my 2 inches long pouting mouth)… they don’t ship to Malaysia… (still grumbling and sulking)

Nik : Kat mana lagi dia jual?

Me : Singapore……

a few minutes after that…… zzzzzzzzzzz……….


Day - Friday

Time - Just before lunch

Me texting Nik……

Me : Jom ride to Singapore!

In a split second… he replied

Nik : when?

Me : amboiii… laju nye reply kalau nak ride….. hehehe

Nik : Tengah review report lah…..

Me : I want to buy my bundt pans…..

The ‘texting activity’ continued for another few more minutes…. and a few hours subsequent to that conversation, I had already booked a hotel room, managed to get hold of the address of ToTT store and planned the journey...... yeap! We were going to Singapore to nail that bundt pans!

5am, Saturday, we were already on the bike heading to Singapore. The weather was great… it was a very cooling morning and the ride was good. We reached Singapore around 9am after making 2 stops for gas and went straight to my uncle’s house. Had lunch there and after that, we were out on way out to the streets of Singapore….

Jalan Besar, Lavender Street – they were Nik’s territory… then it was my turn… Paragon & ToTT Store… !!!

My jaw dropped as we stepped into ToTT Store @ Dunearn Street. See it for yourself…..

Even the entrance to the shop made me go nuts!


You see.... chopping board in all colors, sizes and shapes... That's it!

I'm getting that yellow board the next time I go there!


Beaters as big as me....!!! For ogre perhaps!


Look! Look! Look! Sea of bundt pans and baking pans.... I almost fainted in this section!


yes..... losing my breathe there.....!

But still they ran out of my Bavaria Bundt Pan!!! Darn!!!! I came all the way for you!!! No luck I guess


Well, after spending more than 1 hour inside the store (that my pocket almost ‘koyak’!)… we left with 3 BIG bags. yes, we took a cab there…. and when we reached my uncle’s home…


I thought.. “….oh!! we didn’t drive, we only had our bike… and these pans….how on earth....@!#$%%^&^”

So we left most of the stuff at my uncle's house and we planned to go again in March to collect them.. and we will be driving, yes!

But I couldn’t go back empty handed, now could I…. so I hijacked 1 bundt pan and shoved it into Nik’s tank bag… woot! woot!

So nice eh....?


hahahha …. the rest I had to leave them behind… oh! my poor pans!

We left Singapore around 9pm and reached Johore 1 hour after that, the same day. We checked into Thistle and that night I slept like a baby…. I was the happiest person on earth! heehehehe

We left Johor the next morning around 6am…. (with a pan in the bag)!

I guess that was the shortest trip we’ve ever made to Singapore… and yet the most satisfying one!

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks).

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies
