Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide would engage in fasting from dawn to sunset. I often get non Muslims asking me as to what we can actually eat or drink during the fast. I do know that there are certain religions that allow light food to be taken during a fast. Personally I am…
My eldest niece and nephew are huge fans of chocolate-y stuffs. Whenever I ask them as to what cake should I bake, the answer would always remain the same. At times, I wonder, why do I even bother to ask? The conversation with the niece on whatsapp, last week was like this. Me: What cake do you want? Niece: You…
Ten more days to Ramadan! I am sooo excited! The month I have been waiting for, the most beautiful thirty days in the year according to me. :) Ramadan is always family time for me. I believe it is the same for a lot of other Muslim families too. Somehow during Ramadan, everyone seems to be around the house and…
I was busy with my cousin's good-friend wedding cake over the weekend. The bride wanted a simple and sweet cake. I have done quite a number of wedding cakes over the past few years, but I still get the jitters every single time. It is always in my head that this cake is for someone's big day, so…
Growing up, dessert wasn't something we ate very often. In fact, we rarely ate out back then. When my late dad was still around, eating out every weekend was a norm though. Mom started working 2 years after dad passed away. Expenses were pretty tight and cooking was definitely a better option than eating out. Lucky us, my mom is…
Did you all have a good weekend? I know I am always jabbering about my weekends, but not this time round I guess. We have a bunch of sick people in the house. It seems our anti bodies decided to weaken up, all at the same time. As I type this, they are recovering though. Amin to that. So it's Monday!…
Every day, I wake up at the break of sunshine and from under my super cozy leopard print duvet, I gazed out of the window thinking what a beautiful day it is gonna be. I think of the flowers that are blooming away in my garden. I think of the yummy sandwiches and tea that must be waiting for…
I have been ill *sniffles*. In-fact I am still not well but I am getting better gradually. I was running a temperature and was coughing as loud as a godzilla (yes, they are LOUD), lots of sniffles and I couldn't eat anything. You could have shoved a plate of hot pipping cheese fries right in my face and that would have not tempted…

Hello Skinny People on the blog! Hope everyone had a fulfilling weekend. So how does it feel when someone calls you skinny? I think in the past, it would have been quite offensive but thanks to those darn sized zero models, being skinny is considered cool now. It's the "in" thing and basically fashionable. I am pretty sure that zero sized models…
