Time is so precious and time just seemed to have flown by me the whole month.
What do I remember this month by? I can think of about 3 meaningful events:
1) 12 Rabi`ul Awal~ The birth and death of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w
The noble soul sent as Rahmatan lil `alamin whose birthday was celebrated on the last Friday of the month. This year the celebration held so much meaning after a long while of trying to find meaning to a lot of things in my life. The Selawat we performed among the jemaah at PAKSI would hopefully gather us as His ahli syufa`ah, InsyaALLAH!
2) The meeting with Naz on her last few and precious days left in Malaysia before flying back to cold, cold Norway.
Thanks for having us Naz, and that's what you get when you haven't seen each other for ages...so much to catch up on...wish we went to see you earlier.
Though I haven't set foot on Norwegian soil, glad that my chocolates have found it's way there! We're still experiencing heat wave here and wouldn't it be just nice if you could send some snow here to bring equilibrium to the weather equation!
Salam to Trond and the kids!
3) My chocolate project which is slowly taking off with some CNY sale. So happened CNY fell on Valentine's day, which is celebrated by some, myself excluded.
A funny incident here: A friend of a friend bought herself a 15 piece box which was beautifully tied with a giant satin ribbon.
Reason: To extract some reaction from her seemingly uninitiated spouse, thinking that even if it didn't get her his attention, she would still get to enjoy the chocolates. Sounds logical isn't it? Nothing to lose and something to gain. Any smart investor would know when to bet all your chips!
Well , it did ~ cos he did give her an ~UMMM...?" when she replied she didn't know who it was from.
The thing is ...her kids didn't want her to eat the chocolates, screaming that since she didn't know who it was from, the chocolates could be charmed and she might forget all 3 of them!
Finally, she had to come clean and tell them actually she bought the box for herself!
Hmm...so much for trying to awaken the sleeping passion!

I leave you with this beautiful song

Kak Anne,
The pleasure was really mine ...mine! mine! mine!
To see both of you again, to see that familiar smiles, to catch up on things and ah! yes...we do give equally good hugs :)
The chocolate has been given a clear assessment of *mmmm....mmmmm....gode greier ....mmmmm*.
You translate lah sendiri OK :)
Thank you so much for coming to my Mak's house that day. I vow to be better at keeping in touch too.
Take care, make loads of chocs, have good fun making them and earn loads of dosh!

Aunty Anne,
Amboi! Rupanya bertapa buat cekelat ye? I thought the hermit crab has gone into hiding in its shell again. purrr...meow!

Janji tetap kita tunaikan
Masa dan waktu akan menentukan!

MEEEEEOW CAT!
For some time even I thought the same...did the hermit crab go back into hiding without the hermit crab knowing? Kahkahkah! (That sounded like a butterfly who dreamt that he was dreaming of being a butterfly!)
Cat, I'm gonna post pics soon of the Bungor which is flowering profusely and furiously now! Wish you were here!
Salam Anne,
There, there...I missed again a very good posting of yours here! Wonder what's wrong with my blogroll?
Hm...hilang hilang pun berisi poket!
Those chocolates look really yummy, but I have passed that sweet-tooth addiction. Not that I'm diabetic, but it's better to prevent than cure...hehe! But, I'm giving myself a try at making choclates...sounds fun, eh?
My dear hermit-cWab aka omang2..
Jgn lupa, bulan Februari adalah juga hari persandingan tanpa diduga antara dot2 dan si apek tow truck.. (oh tidaaaaaak)
P/S: COKLAT tu sejenis makanan ke? Lupa lak. :-)
Salam Ateh,
Poket berisi sikit-sikit aje....baru nak kenalkan, banyak yang gratis! Kesian kan kat I? Apapun Alhamdulillah..
Sweet tooth or not, what is your favorite flavour? Makan satu after dinner or lunch...mmmm sedap! It ties the meal together! Tak percaya...order lah kat I!
My dear CS,
CS CS CS! you tau kan I ni jenis blur yang tahap tertinggi...you jgn lah bagi pecah kepala i dgn teka-teki u...sapa itu dot3 dan sapa itu apek?
Apapun Coklat itu memang sejenis makanan....Makanan yang SEDAP hehehe!
