Hi y'all!

I have been thinking these days, what am I gonna do with my life. Oh yea, FYI I am currently unemployed and I just can't seemt o find a suitable job in this city. Anyway, I used to work for a holding company as their Corporate Communications Manager and that was certainly something I'm very proud at. But then again, it didn't come without a price. I was extremely busy and I hardly had anytime for myself or my family. Not to mention about my passion, baking. I often wished I could just stay home and bake, create little surprises for everyone. Sometimes (well, not that many times) I actually called in sick just so that I could try a new recipe. So I thought, I should just quit my job and be a baker. And yes, I quit my job, and no, I didn't get a job offer as a baker (apparently, they wanna see the cert, which doesn't make sense to me (this is so a result oriented job), why don't they ask for the "results" from the oven?). Well, never mind. So back to the story, I have been thinking, what do I wanna do for the rest of my life (I am a "check-list" person, setting goals, making plans, taking actions, evaluating outcomes - which is not applicable to many situations in life, so don't try). I love coffee, I definitely love breakfasts, brunches, pancakes, muffins, scones, frittatas, quiches.. The list will never end. I think morning is the best time of the day, new day, new hopes, new everything! you start from the begining again and you have all day to make a difference! That's just wonderful. So I came out with this brilliant idea (or more like a dream plan), I wanna run my own cafe! That's gonna be the ultimate plan for us! To be able to get up in the morning, start our day with a good cup of coffee and head staright to the kitchen to work! I would love that, in fact I am so ambitious I wanna bake everything myself. So that means my cafe cannot be too big, maybe just enough to cater for 30-40? I want to make sure everyone gets what they deserve for, a good morning, more than just a common greeting, but a good cup of flat white, a tall, fluffy scone served fresh from the oven with butter and cream (or anything you have on your breakfast wish list, we can always work something out - just like your mummy will do at home). Well, think I got a bit carried away with this. And hey, that's called PASSION. So yea, I think that's what I really wanna do. Something that makes me happy, makes him happy, and makes everyone else happy. I know, it sounds a little cheesy and I bet you won't believe me. But really, I am not wearing that pencil skirt and white blouse no more. I wanna be seen in my apron all morning! (Sorry, we close after lunch ;p) And I wanna smell like butter and cream all the time. It's not so bad, you save tons on those chemical that makes u smell like everyone else :) Yeap! That's what I should be woring towards. You know, in fact it is gonna take a long, long time. Like said, I am 100% homemade. I don't go to school to learn baking and I have 0 experience in cafe or any sort of hospitality stuff. Thank goodnes I am good at PR, I think it has that little helf in hospitality ;) So for now, this will be my little sanctuary, a place I "serve" my food to the world and share my life and story (like your mama do in the kitchen, she talks about her life and childhood!)
