Macaroons and more macaroons

In the name of Allah,

most gracious, most merciful.

Sister in law and i had this business project of selling cookies and biscuits for Eid’l Fitri.

We made 5 types of samples; -Coconut crunch -Chocolate Chips -Macaroons -French Macaroons -almond cookies thingy. There are two types of macaroons, maybe you can google it and know what im talking about.

But all of them samples went wrong. the coconut crunch didn’t turn out to be exceptionally tasty as it should have been although, it’s a normal-easy-to-get-kinda cookies. chocolate chips wasn’t excellent because SIL thinks she puts too much Milo and made the cookies abit harder than it should, Macaroons are perfect; it was light and crunchy, i loved it. French Macaroons; because it was bloody first time to try such a unique type, in a nutshell, it turned out horrible. Almond cookies, are good, i took the first batch, but it was abit burnt because we forgot that it was in the oven haha…so i think the rest of batter should be okay, just that, it didnt take the rectangular shape because of the almonds in it.

Overall, SIL was disappointed because never in her life, cookies turned out this bad. she was really keen in making business and earn some money for expenses. I, well, although i share the same woes as her, i really accepted such outcomes, i am so used to failures, in time, i gave up to fate and understood that even a million years in pursuit of perfection; knowing that it is a learning journey. but there was a lump of hope, i could make money…since my only income is my weekend job and me trying to get into teaching. nonetheless, alhamdulilah that we are done making the samples, time to throw our bait at the ocean and see who likes the worms we offer. lol.

Anyhoos, Last saturday, i had to relief a Primary 4 class. During recess time, i asked if they want to stay in the class or go to the canteen. they all voted to stay. so, i walked out of the class with my bag and said that i’ll be back. few of the boys concluded and said, ” EH! teacher never fast!!!” I was so taken aback, i don’t know what to say. haha. i can’t believe i had to give explainations for my actions to a group of 10 year olds. on a second thought, they are 10 year olds, so i just brush their comments off. haha. but on the next hour, i told them, i wasn’t suppose to relief their class, because my post as head tutor is at the ground floor. it has been a long time i last breath the environment of teaching a class. It was fun while it lasted, surprisingly, the whole lot is so studious; when given tasks, they would do it silently and individually. but there were times they made noise because of group work and i didn’t restrain them anyway.

So..that’s my week. and  the opposite side of greener grass in my life, i can’t tell even if i could. whenever i think of it, i am so stumped on the floor, hating myself for being so hopeless.
