PinkBrolly

Right now, I'm in Langkawi for a quick getaway with my husband and family. Some of you probably know that the LIMA is going on. We didn't come here for that. We came for the beach, chocolates and ikan bilis! But, since this island is pretty small, we can see the jets doing all sort of dangerous stunts whenever we're driving around. The locals here actually parked their cars by the road side just to watch the air shows. And today, we joined them and stopped by the airport road. And it was so so awesome. Those dangerous stunts the pilots pulled, so cool!!! And the jets came down pretty low to the land and I got all excited! See, I'm a girly girl. I love everything pink, pretty and blingy! So, I was pretty surprised that I enjoyed myself so much while watching the jets zooming away above us. I wouldn't mind watching the jets again, but I wouldn't trade that with a trip to the shopping mall. Hehe. That lone jet puts up one of the best shows. Flying in o...

If you follow my Instagram, you probably would have seen this. Source: Pinterest  Such a beauty kan? Kalau tengok real life ni, boleh buta kot. Haha.  I am secretly hoping that my husband will get the hint and get me some bling blings for our 5th anniversary.  Kalau u rasa macam I baruuu je kahwin, you're right! This is only our third year of being married. And already I'm thinking of my 5th year anniversary gift, kan? Aiyo, I so demanding sometimes, I also pity my husband.  But, seriously, so so so gorgeous! Any brides-to-be out there who's still scouting for your rings --> you're welcome *flips hair* 

This is the story of how PinkBrolly Events started. Back in December, my friend Shasa got married. And I was responsible for her photobooth. Shasa's best friend a.k.a the weddding planner, Natte asked me if I'm interested to do her photobooth way back in August/September. Of course I was interested. Up until recently, I was still not over my own wedding! Haha.  I spoke to Shasa, mostly via Gtalk and WhatsApp, of what she wants and likes, and her expectations of the photobooth. She told me that she wants it to be a garden-y theme, with pink as the main colour. So, I spent a lot of my time researching and getting inspirations from so many blogs and websites. And finally came up with a concept of a 3D tissue paper flowers, with a pink ombre effect. I showed her my amateur-ish sketch, and she gave me her stamp of approval. When I emailed her my drawings, I was sooooooo nervous!! See, I cannot draw, often my sketches look like a 3yo drew them. Heck, even a 3y...

Hi guys!  Are you all still here? Ooohh, I hope you haven't given up on hopeless-at-updating-me yettt! :p  I have some very exciting news to share with youuuuuu! And no, there's no bun in my very round oven just yet. Ish. It's just that I've started my own EVENTS DESIGN AND DECOR BUSINESS guys!!!!!   Isn't that excitingggggg?!! I am happy and excited and scared but mostly excited, that I'm not even writing this coherently. Haha, can you tell?  This baby of mine is called PinkBrolly Events. ( what else, right? I just love my blog's name!)   Since I'm doing this part time, I have done only two jobs so far. One is a photobooth for a wedding and the other is a one-year old birthday party. And I had so much fun doing both! I won't talk so much about those jobs now, but I promise promise that I will update more later ok?  I also have another photobooth that I'm doing for a sweet little girl...

I know I haven't posted about anything weddings recently but this one I cannot not write about. Saw this dress on Arma's FB and instantatenously felt that jealousy pang in my heart. The baju is so so beautiful. It is so simple but still very wedding-y. Pictures are from Arma Couture Facebook I cannot get how this simple dress can be so so pretty. I think, with another colour, I can wear it to attend weddings or any of the events that Husband may have.  So, for now, these pictures are safely in my computer.  For all of you who's getting married, please go and check Arma out. His recent works are simply beautiful beyond words! 

The frames are finally up! Remember I spray painted the frames white in preparation of this? Yeah, I finally put them up two weeks ago. I really took my time doing this (almost 3 months!) and it is sooo worth it! I chose my pictures carefully, thought long and hard about the design of the picture mat and tried and photographed many frames arrangement! And here they are in our hallway. I couldn't be happier with the results! In case you're wondering, I didn't drill any holes in the wall. Did that before and felt that it was all a bit too messy. So this time around, I used 3M tapes for frames and they work like a charm! And since I'm in a sharing (and chatty) mood, this is how I ensure that I get my frames to be exactly where it should. I arranged everything that I want on that wall on the floor first. I measured the length and width of the wall and mirrored the measurements on the floor. I then measured the centre frame, the one with the...

My lanterns , that is.  They are now in pink and mint. And absolutely pretty!  To recap, this is one of the lanterns in its original colour. Blue. Equals bleh.  Before giving them their final colours, I coat them with white paint first. I would have used a primer but the hardware store that I went to didn't have any. So I figured white spray paint would do. And it did.  I only did one coat of white paint on the lanterns and it did the job pretty well. I then spray painted the white-out lanterns in pink and mint, giving them 2-3 even coats per lantern.  And here they are in their new pretty colours! I am absolutely in love with them. Seriously, was grinning like an idiot all week!  I am especially in love with the mint one. Ahh, too pretty!  Originally, I wanted them for the balcony, but because they're oh-too-pretty, I placed them in the living room instead.  Already used them on one of our "date-nig...
