That's the first thing the staffs in "Antique" would say to their customers.
I've been very much into Japanese dramas, anime and manga lately. It must be due to the fact that I'm attending Japanese classes this semester. Taihen desu ne!! Well, actually it's an elective. I can either take Japanese or Chinese. After much consideration, I've decided to take Chinese BUT attend both Chinese and Japanese classes. Say, it's not an easy task. My schedule seems to be fully packed with Japanese, Chinese and Malaysian Literature classes. I'm probably the only one who goes for all three classes. Yeah...call me "gatal".
Seriously, I'm not sure if I can juggle through all three subjects but I'll surely try my very best! It's a challenge! yeah! Gambate ne!!
Almost forgot to thank Irene sensei! Arigato gozaimashita!
I'm getting really interested in Japanese (although we're learning at a very fast pace. *pants*). And what's more, the mangas (thanks 'yibun' for recommending Ouran), animes and dramas make it more interesting than it is now.
I just finish watching a very nice Japanese drama- "Antique" アンテイク. It is a story evolving around 3...no, 4 handsome but silly and funny men working in a patisserie-the Antique. I like the decoration of Antique, which is quite westernize. However.....I Love the cakes more!! LOL!! >.< I would like to make those cakes too..erm..if i know how.. XD
Ahem! Sorry for the 'abnormal behaviour'. So...where am I? oh yeah...Antique is a heart-warming story about what happened to the staffs and customers of Antique. It seems that everyone has their own past and secrets. Slowly, the pasts are divulged and all of them, as one good 'family' (well, they look like a family although they are just colleagues), one by one their problems are solved. They are tested on their friendship, patience and so on...

The 3 main characters.
Left- Keisuke (or Keiichirō) Tachibana. The owner of Antique who was kidnapped when he was 9 years old. Opened Antique although he doesn't like cakes. All he remembers is that his kidnappers always bought him yummy cakes. Although superior in Antique, he's constantly bullied by his workers. XD *and he always has exaggerated reactions. lol!*
Middle- Eiji Kanda. A former boxing player who has a sweet tooth. He's also blunt in personality. He joined Antique after being forced to withdraw from the sports he likes most. *erm...he actually forced the patissier of Antique to teach him bake cakes without even paying the slightest attention to the boss XD*. He is an orphan who couldn't remember much about his parents. His parents, died when he was still small, were famous patissiers. After his arrival to Antique, the patisserie becomes more lively. although he's the one who bullies the boss the most! Poor boss!!
Right- Yusuke Ono. The genius patissier who is capable of attracting customers to Antique with his yummy, yummy, yummy, cakes! (including Eiji). Although fully-skilled in making cakes, he's incapable of dealing with women (due to his past). Always mistaken as a gay. *there's a reason to this*. Also capable of making his boss obey him. *poor,poor boss!*

Behind (wearing glasses) - Chikage Kobayakawa. Keisuke's childhood friend (also sort of servant). He's being trained as a waiter at Antique after Eiji. However, he is very klutzy.

And last but not least....The CAKES!!! Kudos to the genius pattisier!!
I only manage to find these pictures...They are many more nicer looking cakes in the drama...

Created after a sick girl who has an ambition to be a patissier died. It has become a permanent cake in Antique since.

One of the cakes in Antique...

One of a regular customer's favourite. that customer has some connection to the boss's kidnap case

More cakes from Antique...
