PinkBrolly

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.

Hi guys, It's really getting more and more difficult to update this ol' blog of mine. I just wasn't in the mood to share anything in the past few months, but today ahhh the mood to write strikes. :) I actually wanted to share with you guys about my Yogyakarta trip. I had all the posts written, in my head, when I was there. But, they remained in my head and now I've forgotten all about it. And since then, I've been to Japan for work, did some fun parties for PinkBrolly Events and more. -_____- Today, as I was stuck in the massive jam (what is up, KL?!) I thought about what I want in my life. Yeap, deep thoughts to entertained in the evening. Truthfully, I am feeling so blergh with my job. See, I'm a scholar and I'm currently serving my bond. I have two more years before this bond ends and I have been weighing in on my options. After 6 years in the investment world, I can safely say that I do not have any passion for it. Sometimes I like what I do, but...

Hi guys,  We're in the last three days of Ramadhan already. How time flies! I pray that our ibadah will be accepted by Allah and may we continue our ibadah even after Ramadhan ends.   *** The past few weekends, I have been slowly prepping our home for Eid celebrations.  I put up some fairy lights last two weekends and oh-my-God the ambience it created was just super awesome. I have always love the ambience and feeling that fairy lights exudes. It's just so magical and romantic.  Whenever I walk by the hallway now, I feel like I'm in some enchanted forest somewhere. Haha. Ye, berangan lebih.  Ahh, super love.  That weekend too, we finally found our carpet! Hoooyeahhhhhhhh. I don't know who is more excited over this - myself for finally finding the carpet or my husband for the end to my constant whining. :p  Anyways, we found our carpet at the least expected place; Jalan TAR! Yeap, the place famous for its Jakels and...

Salam my dear readers, Sorry I've been slow in updating this month! I've been cooking every single day, making up for the rest of the months that I dont. Haha. So, continuing with our Yogyakarta trip. We stayed at one of the most awesome hotels in Yogyakarta. As you may recalled in this post , I was hoping that the hotel wouldn't just be indah khabar dari rupa (beautiful only in pictures but meh in real life!). And thank you God, we weren't disappointed. As we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted by a floor-to-ceiling glass doors, which made the medium-sized lobby light and airy. Check-in was swift and the front desk staff were all very courteous and helpful.  The reception desk was made out of wood, beautifully carved with typical Indonesian motifs. Behind it stood a large wooden sculpture, also carved intricately.  Lobby of Hotel Phoenix, Yogyakarta. As you move into the hotel, you would see these designs repeating itself. It's cl...

The Sunday before Ramadhan, I did a Mickey Mouse-themed backdrop for a sweet 1-year old boy's party. He had spent his actual birthday in the hospital that week and his mom wanted to give him a nice birthday party. So, that's how I came into the picture. Hehe. Remember how I fell sick after our Yogya trip? Yeah, I had the lousiest timing to fall sick! That week I was so swamped. Work at the office was piling and I had the photobooth to work on. Thank God I had designed something that was simple and doesn't require much effort. And my friend, Azzahraa wanted something small. So phewwww. I only managed to focused on the photobooth on Saturday, one day before the party! I had put in a bit of time before, whenever I felt a bit better or whenever I'm not asleep from the meds, to do some prep work. Thankfully, I got to deliver a complete and beautiful (if I may so, haha!) backdrop that Sunday. I had fun doing this job actually. It was simple, doesn't take muc...

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. 

Thursday, June 27th 2013 will always be a date that I will remember. That was the day we took off to Yogyakarta for a lil getaway.  Our flight was a morning one. 9.45am to be exact.  Stayed up late the night before to pack and to play Candy Crush -_____-  Woke up late at 6.30am the next morning. And rushed like crazy, so we could leave the house to KL Sentral by 7am.  Called for a taxi to come at 7am, went downstairs to our condo's lobby at 7am, and there was no taxi!  Husband called the taxi company and was informed that the taxi had came and left!!!!! Husband was furious. Called for other cab companies and no taxis were available that morning. Great!  So, we took our car and drove to my mom's (thank God we live so near each other!) so she could dropped us off in KL Sentral.  Got to KL Sentral by 7.30-ish and waited in the blardy connecting bus to LCCT for 30 minutes before the bus finally moved at 8am!  Reache...
