Fruit Pastry

14th June, 2011....

Just now, I sat and ponder. In this 45 years of my life, what good thing that I had done? Had I been behaving? How good a Muslim am I? How much had I helped people in need? Am I a good wife to my dear hubby and a good mom to both my kids? Had I been a good child to my parents and a good sister to my siblings? A good friend to a friend?

.... Sad to say, I have no answer to any of the questions above...

... because I am just not perfect but working really hard to be one... insyaAllah.. please make duaas for me ya..

Thank you so much to my family members, MakcikKantin, Tina, Ummi Kuantan, Dolly in UK, Kak Jamilah and Ninie for your kind wishes via email, sms and personal call. I do appreciate it very much for your thoughts... I'm touched....

And many thanks to Kak Noha, Ijah and Afif for these lovely gift. And thank you for the lovely time just now..

Thank you Gert for the lovely cake recipe. My mom enjoyed the cake very much and this is what she had to say... "eh, sedap pulak kek ni"... *wink* Allow me to re-post it here, the way I had prepared it. I had to substitute some of the ingredients according to whatever is available in my 'doremon cupboard'. Haha....
