So, I've been tagged by Sherliza from ziggy zig ah   to do this fun but also time-wasting game. LOL. And here goes. I'm very manja. If you know me, you'd probably know that.  I think I'm hilarious. Even I laugh at myself sometimes. Haha.  I'm generally a positive person.  I also have very high self confidence/self esteem. I genuinely think I'm pretty. (Another example is #2 :p)  I never had and don't have any issue with me being short. Again this relates to #4. Most people would think that I do, but meh being short/petite is pretty awesome.  I do have issues with me being fat. This generally happens once a month when I see a photo of a slim woman in skinny jeans. It also coincides with my time of the month. Hmmm.  Although honestly, I don't think I'm thattt fat. #internalconflict I am obsessed with designer handbags, which I think is going to be my (or my husband's) downfall.  I also have developed a love for diamonds after I got...

Tonight, we mourn for the loss of those on board MH370. Tonight, we cry with the families. We have been hopeful. We had prayed for a different ending. But, Allah knows best. " It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is." (40:68) May God grants peace to those who perished and may God ease the burden of those carrying this terrible heartache. Ameen ya Rabb.

Salam Ramadhan to all of my Muslim readers.  Firstly, please accept my sincerest apologies if I had offended any of you via my writings in this blog. If you know me personally, please also accept my apologies for any wrongdoings that I may have done, whether intentionally or not.  Every Ramadhan I pray that I will become a better Muslim. Be strong enough to fight the worldly temptations and strengthen my ties to my religion and my God.  This year, my doa remains. And I ask that you remember me in your prayers.  May we have a blessed Ramadhan and may we continue to be faithful even after Ramadhan.  Amin. 

My fellow Malaysians, Tomorrow is not just another Sunday, it is the day that we the rakyat gets to exercise our rights to choose our Government. This does not come often, so don't miss your chance to be part of the democratic process. Wake up early, put on your smartest and prettiest outfit (for #ootd on Instagram) and vote! Vote for a better nation. And vote for our future. Have fun tomorrow and let's pray for the best for our country. HIDUP MALAYSIA!

Hey guys, As you can see, I've change the look of my blog. I'm aiming for a clean look that will make browsing a lot easier, but I also want to inject some of my personality into it. I don't know if this template is going to stay. I'm definitely still playing around with things at this moment. So, please bear with the changes while I figure those damn Illustrator out. I'm gonna sleep on it. What do you guys think? Yay or nay? xx

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua pembaca blog ini! Hope all of you had a wonderful first week of Syawal with your loved ones. This year, I didn't get to take leave (boo!) but I did spend some wonderful times with my family. I would also like to take this opportunity to seek forgiveness;  big or small, intentional or unintentional from everyone I know (and don't know). Here's to a month of eating rendang, nasi impit + lodeh + kuah kacang combo and raya cookies! Selamat Hari Raya!

Wow, I haven't been here for so long that I'm finding it a bit difficult to maneuver around the new Blogger. ____________________________ Firstly, I would like to wish all a Happy Ramadhan. May this Ramadhan be a blessed, fruitful and satisfying one for all of us. I pray for more barakah and to be closer to my Creator. Amin. It's been 5 days of fasting already. So far, I still haven't found my perfect rhythm yet. I wanted to incorporate some exercise into my days (or nights) but I only managed to do that on the first day since i) it was a weekday and ii) I didn't have to cook.  On weekdays, I get really tired after the "race-against-time" cookout in the kitchen that I usually zonked out afterwards. Hence, I haven't done much on the Ibadah part either. I'm determined to make this work, hence will try harder at balancing it all. Pray that I find my rhythm please!  And on a more duniya note, I scored myself two of Jovian Manadagie's aw...

Selamat Hari Rayaaaaaaa!! :) I'm finally back from our fun-filled Raya celebration in Johor. We spent the first raya in KL with my side of the family and went back to Muor that night to spend the rest of Raya with Hubs' side. On the third Raya, all of us went to JB for more food-filled Raya! :p Went to beraya at my side too :) All in all, it was a good Raya, Alhamdulillah. I hope all of you had a beautiful Raya with your loved ones too :) Because mine is just awh-some! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada pembaca blog ini. Mohon maaf jika pernah ada terguris hati dengan tulisan saya di sini :)

A reminder to myself mostly. But thought I'd share it with you. So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me - Surah Al-Baqarah, 152 O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient - Surah Al-Baqarah, 153 Have a wonderful Ramadhan everyone :) xx

The holy month has arrived yet again. How time flies, MasyaAllah. This year would be the second year of fasting with my husband. And this time we want to take full advantage of this holy month. InsyaAllah, I want to perform more ibadah and practice against gluttony. This year, I hope to fully experience Ramadhan and to have a wholesome fasting experience. Amin. May this Ramadhan be a blessed one for us all. Selamat berpuasa dan beribadah to all my readers :) Mohon maaf jika ada terkasar bahasa atau tersinggung perasaan.

I'm going to Baliiiiii! After my passport drama, we are now set to lounging in the Sun, stuffing ourselves with seafood and just relax. Leaving in a while, so all of you take care and see you when I get back. Oh, I also would like to commend Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia for the very efficient service. Got my passport in under an hour yesterday! *thumbs up* Buhbyeeeee! xx

I turned 27(!!) today :) I had an awesome birthday - woke up to birthday (and anniversary) wishes from families and friends, was given my friend, Natte's reserved parking spot ( I didn't have to go all the way up to park, as per usual), had a yummy tuna cheese sandwich prepared by my other friend, Dina, was surprised by a sweet delivery by my Husband, had a superb birthday lunch celebration with the rest of my batch (complete with "domestic-goddess-themed" cupcakes and a basket of chic pressies from my dearest friends) and finished off with a lovely birthday dinner with my family at Meatworks! Thank you to everyone who wished me via Twitter, FB, Gtalk and texts. Each of your wishes really warms my heart :) I'm thankful for everything and everyone that I have in my life. I'm one lucky girl. This 27 yo is definitely happy! *love*

It's been a while since I updated my blog! Sorry, but too many things happened since Hubs came back from the US. We needed some us time and that's what I've been doing - focusing on us and our families. But, Alhamdulillah all are back to normal now :) And I have a lot to share with you girlies. I'll talk more soon! And for those who have emailed me asking about weddings and such, so sorry for the delay. Will reply ASAP! Much love xx

I cannot watch the Royal Wedding anymore because it'll remind me of my husband. Who is supposed to come back from the US tonight.... buttttt, because one of his flights got delayed, he missed his connecting flights!!! which means he's arriving a day later! Uwarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... :(

I'm into buns these days. And in case you're wondering, I'm talking about hairbuns! Since my hair is long-ish, and I'm making no attempt to cut/restyle it eventho' I say it all the time, I am now always spotted with my hair in a bun. And I'm growing to love it! I especially love those loose hairbuns. So effortlessly chic. But, of course, a whole lot of work and hair products goes into making that look. How ironic. So, I went online and found this really great website . But, I'm going to have to warn you before you click on that link - the website is highly addictive. You will get deeply immersed into the website, and before you know it, you've just spent 4 hours of your time! And when that happens, just don't say I didn't warn ya :p And here are some of my favourite buns! Aren't they gorgeous? So, jom sama-sama ber-hairbun! :)

I'm back!! Okay, I've got quite a number of posts lined up actually, with a special one for you bride-to-bes! Just wait for them, yeah? In the meantime, don't forget all about me just yet! I just have a few things going on at the moment, so this will have to take the backseat for a while! See you all this weekend! (or if you're lucky, even sooner than that. just don't hold your breath :p)

Hi Girls, (and probably some guys ;)) Just letting you all know that I wont be updating for the whole of next week, becauseeeeeeeee.... I'll be in Hong Kong, baby! *woot* Anyways, I'm there for work (boohoo!), but I have some spare time to roam the city's shopping havens (yeay!) Hubs is not coming (cos he has cases and trials and work....boring!) and he's a bit concern that I'll be there alone. Before you go "awhhhh, how sweet *cair*", let me just say he's concern because he wont be there to control my spending! Pfft.. And I didn't help - while packing earlier, I said - "hmm, I think I'm just going to bring one pair of shoes je, kalau tak cukup, beli je la kat sana nanti." Hehe. Let's hope I don't come home with another suitcase next week! *wink* That's all for now. My flight is early morning tomorrow. :( See you all next week!! xx

This time, it's Kate Middleton! She's marrying the man of every girls' dreams in April and I cant wait to see what (and who) will she be wearing! Because... THIS GIRL HAS GOT STYLE! Hers is a classic one - she's always dressed so immaculately but she injects a lil bit of personality (like her fancy hats!). So, she doesn't come across like the Queen's mother but rather a chic Princess. Jom, tengok? Princess-to-be Catherine Elizabeth Middleton and her many hats; Gorgeous, isn't she? I.ADORE.HER. And I think she looks oh-so-beautiful in her official engagement photos. Oh, to-die-for! She's so stunning! Gerammmmm..! Oh, and here's a cool photo I found - Prince William and Kate posing ala Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana during their own engagement back in 1981. I think that's a sweet photograph. Let's hope Kate's destiny is better than her late mother-in-law-to-be. (is there even such thing?) All pictures courtesy of Google Images...

In the spirit of LOVE, my husband wrote this poem dedicated for yours truly :) Aku Qays, kau Laila Puisi buat dirimu Bagai Majnun gila Kemaruk lamunan cinta Aku Kirjava, kau Pantalaimon Kompas emas ini Akan jadi bukti Petunjuk hati ini Aku Lysander, kau Hermia Benar cinta agung Tidak lancar adanya Lekuk liku alirnya Aku Megat Sri Rama, kau Wan Anum Sumpah aku lafazkan Untuk lakukan segala Walau membawa derhaka Aku Rama, kau Sita Akan ku hapuskan Ravana sedih pilu Ukir senyum bibirmu Aku Odyseus, kau Penelope Nun jauh rantauku Tetap aku kembali Kau maharani hati Aku Beren, kau Luthien Walau gelap Angband Kita tempuhi bersama Demi Silmaril cahaya Aku Perceval, kau Blanchefleur Niat lelaki ini Mahu jadi kesatria Bina kastil kita Aku Siegfried, kau Kriemhild Lagu Nibelung kita Agar jadi lagenda Untuk kekal adanya BY: Syahredzan Johan My husband has always been my pujangga.

Sakit belakang ku! I just spent the last hour reorganising my labels. With over 100 posts, that's a lot of work!! And all for who? For youuuuuuu!! *I so the very sweet* Anyways, while going through all the posts, I came across this post of mine. Haha, bila baca balik, memang kelakar. Whatever betul. Now, let's do a simple assessment, shall we? First question: Sempat ke nak kurus ni?! Sempat sangat! On my wedding day, I was a mere 44kgs! Goodness gracious betul! Sekarang, selepas 7 bulan berkahwin, sila jangan tanya berapa berat ku! Second question: Sempat ke nak practice bangun awal?! Hahaha, ni memang fail! My husband wakes up really early ALL the time! Buttttt, I am now in the habit of waking up early, since coming back from London. Tak tau la jet lag ke ape, but good la! *1 brownie point* Third question: Sempat ke nak belajar masak?! Don't worry kalau tak pandai masak. Just don't live with your parents or the in-laws! Kalau duduk sendiri, guarantee sure pandai masak...
