My entire life didn't flash before me..


Had a probable near death experience on the roads last night.

Dark night.. thunderstorm...slippery roads on the highway.. countless zooming cars.. me impatient behind the wheel.. endless phone calls... annoying GPS voice....frustrated and tired boyfriend with his eyes shut in the passenger seat. In a turn of events; my confidence on the road was hit by a stroke of bad luck.

I remember my screeching tyres, frozen steering, and my arm stuck behind the wheel.
..I remember spinning.. and a host cars avoiding us. I had a chain of thoughts in my head "Don't hit us! Don't hit us! Don't flip! Don't fall into the cliff!" I could hear myself scream silently. The car hit the railing once at the back, and in the front.. I turned to look at him beside me.. the car spun and slammed sideways into the door beside me. Shocked just like me, he smiled and held my hand; not certain if it were meant to comfort me or himself, but it made the arguments we were having 30 minutes not relevant anymore.

I hear in movies and stories the most important events in your entire life flashes in your mind at the sight or fear of death. I hadn't any. My mind was too busy flashing imaginative images of all the things I had meant to do and had not achieved. That's a sign huh? I believe it is a sign.
I know now that I should be doing more with my life; fulfilling my responsibilities and listening to my heart more. I've only got one life that I can lead the way I choose.

I spent my next 24 hours thinking...
I havn't figured anything out yet..
Maybe in 48 hours? am I still in shock?

The Delectable elves OFF TO An ADVENtURE~

Just like Dora the Explorer, 

We went on an adventure together! 





My Delectable elves are a big part of why I love what I do. Look at them~!!! What’s not to love! Hehe!

They are a hardworking bunch with passion, commitment, wide smiley faces and big hearts. It’s very encouraging to be surrounded by positivity everyday.
Being the 'powerful' and spontaneous big Boss Elf that I am *grin *.. I cleared a full day off our schedules to fit in a day trip holiday together as a team! I figured we all needed some fun in the sun after many long hours we’ve pulled through the last couple of months.

On Sunday, mom and I made some calls and we spread the news! Whitewater rafting in Perak on Tuesday! 6 in the morning we head out! YAYYY!!!
Everyone was soOOo excited, I had a couple elves who couldn’t fall asleep that Monday from butterflies in their tummies! Haha
I packed everyone into a couple cars and drove ourselves 2 hours up north to Gopeng, A farmers truck brought the entire team of us from the center of Gopeng town through the villages, into the jungle and up to the hills....to...


Adeline’s resthouse, was our pitstop for adventure! A full day of food, Whitewater rafting adventure and a visit to their secret mammoth size waterfall in the middle of the woods!






(*ELF overboard!!!!)
(Elf rescued... *phew -_-'....LOL)




By evening; we were all tanned, bruised and bushed.. it was time to take a drive to Ipoh (boss elf’s hometown) to gather ourselves some local specialties. THE FOOOD!! Pomelo’s, pastries and yummy hawker stalls. We had trouble fitting everything into our car trunks at the end of our shopping trip.





On the way back to KL, we were stuffed from dinner and the sun had long set…I heard little snores from the back of the car.. tired little happy elves… aw.. the battle scares and the sun burnt noses are all worth it. I’m so glad we got to spend time to play and get to know each other better. They have now an insight into how I grew up and where I came from.

Steve Jobs spoke truth, He will always be an inspiration.


3 days ago we all heard the news, I didn't have much of a recollection of who he was but I knew very well his achievements and how his innovations have made it to my fingertips for the past 5 years or so. 
Recalling making my brave decision to convert back then...
An unforgettable first experience. I returned home and planted myself on the carpet of my studio apartment with my very first mac book. I felt so unsure.. will I be able to handle this.. what am I gonna do without no right click! *nonsense to me now* haha. I remember unravelling it's perfectly green and protective packaging... realizing how neat it was and how much thought was put into it. This is ridiculously AMAZING! A little white manual hidden inside greeted me with a "HELLO" in friendly bold font and as my beautiful new mac keys lit up.. I heard it... "Dwing!!!" Cheerful, ready and powerful! My heart raced in excitement, I've never experienced anything similar switching on an electronic device! Haha It was my window to everything APPLE. I felt confident I was never going to miss windows; this is easy! This laptop is so smart! It's keyboard is so perfect!
At the back of my mind I thought to myself, this is genius!! Mr Jobs inspired and drove these amazing innovations to our door steps... Genius. 

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”


Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” 



He's awaken the lazy giant in me. Delectable can always be better.. and I should always move forth.
He has mentioned never to hold on to a good idea and dwell on it too long, ... the next question should be "What next?"
So What next SU!? Enough with just concentrating on making birthday and wedding cakes every weekend. INNOVATE. NOW! *heart races with excitement*

Mind over Matter

Reading back on my recent ramblings, I've realized most of what I wrote about showed how much I miss being young and free.. I wrote about all these things that made me happy and how I don't have them anymore.
This is has got to stop now. 
I have so much to look forward too and way too much to be excited about in front of me.. comparing level's of "satisfaction" or "happiness" is irrelevant! I have to move on and be proud of where I'm at. 
People say the past makes you what you are and you should never forget, I say screw that shit. Haha, livE in the NOW su! it's mind over matter. The grass is greener right here; right now. 
Tomorrow will be a new day for me. Come to think of it, lets make that tonight. :)

It's not just a job, it's not just cakes or my shops, Delectable is my life, and my delectable elves are my family...yummy and sugary sweet family *hehe*
