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!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

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). ...
