Oh Lemang, Where Are Thou?

Assalamualaikum,

Hello everyone! How was your raya celebration? No matter how you celebrate your raya/holiday, I hope you guys have a wonderful one. As for me, I’ve spent the first day of raya in KL, and then went back to my mum’s hometown in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

And with all those raya foods that I’ve stuffed myself with, I’ve gained 1.5 kg (gasp!). I just couldn’t keep myself away from tart and chocolate chip cookies, humph! But, I couldn’t find lemang anywhere this year. It’s so weird. 

Anyway, let me just share a few pics from my raya days. I have to say, we have a few weird activities going on during our raya celebration, teeheehee.

Family photo is a must!

I'm always go with baju kurung for raya.
But this time I decided to try kaftan :D

A pic with national flag in conjunction of
Merdeka and Eid Fitr celebration, kekekek~

Went to my uncle's new house and he own a snooker table!

With cousins~

Wore a kaftan from Qala Qisya. Been dying to wear it
ever since I got my hands on it! :D

And went to fish some Keli (catfish) for BBQ party that night~

Dad is so happy with what he caught :P

Yup, went there with my gorgeous kaftan. I must be out of my mind!

At uncle Nuar house. Besides the yummy jelly....

... they own a studio. Cool!

I could be the next Ana Raffali, kekekek!

And this is Mieyra, the talented craziest drummer ever! 

Making of the band: Amatt (drum), Mr Dad (guitar) and Deela (lead singer).

 And that's all for now~ Sorry for the randomness.

A Splash of Wild Life in Your Closet

Lately, I'm in love with animal print material. I feel that animal print especially leopard print is everlasting and a must-have item in your closet be it in or off season. It is odd that it easily stand out when you paired them with a plain outfit. It brings out the fun of you. You can always start out with accessories first before heading all out with a bold animal printed maxi. 

But mind you, to put on an animal print have rules. Most of all, have animal print from head to toe is a big NO-NO. People might think that you're really a python! Even if it's fun to scare people, please use other method, alright? Try to avoid wearing too much of the print in one outfit, even if you have the same tiger lines skirt to go with a tiger lines top. There was a saying, the more, the merrier. But not in this case. Keep in mind that minimalism in the key, okay? Also, DO NOT wear more than one pattern in one outfit (seriously, putting on a leopard print and a zebra handbag? You should know that they don’t get along well in life!) or you'll find your name next to Lady Gaga for craziest outfit (LOL, I'm exaggerating :P).

Excuse Me, Where Did You Buy This Shawl?

Prior to Jesmin announcement that OBB will be at Chic Pop, I dragged my sister to go there in hope to grab something OBB.

But once we were there, I lost my focus as I was distracted by so many cute vintage clothes. There were so many people too! It was my second time went to a bazaar and I was panic because all I have was a hundred bucks when I practically want to buy everything.  When I saw some pretty clothes, I thought that I should hold it cause maybe there was more fancy clothes on the next shop, so I should look and mark down what I want to buy the first round and comeback later.

That’s not how it works, you little…! Whatever catches your eyes, you should buy that first because other people will grab that and leave you nothing! So take note that if you ever want to go to a bazaar, you need to be quick and you must have the ability to scan around in the speed of light! (And yeah, that was me over-reacting: D) But seriously, I miss a few worth-to-buy clothes T___T I almost snatch a dress from a girl because I want it so badly, I pray so hard that she would put it back but she went to the casher counter instead! Arrghhh! And I also want to buy a pre-loved booties but it wasn’t my size, humph….. So you see, you need a luck too. At the end of the day, I just bought a cute blue stripes lacey jacket to console myself.

Anyway, what makes me happy was that I recognized a few bloggers that I know like Shea, Ami and Cik Epal (I think that’s her). I should have said hi but I dunno how~ I wasn’t that friendly even though I want myself to, kekekek. I got nervous without reason and I felt silly of myself. Anyway, they all look prettier in person. And there were a lot of fashionable people around with colorful shawl (I wonder where they get all those from). I found myself spending time envying  watching them more than I look for clothes, hehe.

Of course, Sammy went too. Here are a few shots that we managed to snap.

See that pretty lady with brown flare pants? I’m in love with what she’s wearing. 

To anyone who know her, can you pretty please link me her blog 

so I can stalk get to know her? Thank you XD

It was tiring but it was fun too. Hope will be able to go the next bazaar sale. I’ll be a smarter shopper next time! 

Dude, that was so not cool!

Someone promised me to take me out last Sunday, but the plan was cancelled last minute (erghh, boleh baran bila ingat balik, grr…) but being me who will not let some stupid mood ruined my Sunday, I decided to take my sister to watch movie~

But actually the original plan was going to Jalan TAR to look for lace and waist-band for our home-made skirt, and then drop by BREM mall for movie. But it was raining (luckily not so heavy) when we reached Sogo, so we decided to just window-shopping. I found a cute organizer so I was glad! Then, after an hour wondering around, we were too tired to walk to the textile shops so we just ditch the lace and waist-band plan and just went straight out to BREM mall.

We watched Khurafat because we’re suckers for horror movie. It was an okay movie with good-but not-so-detail plot. There were still a few things that doesn't make sense but at least my prediction went slightly wrong and the ending kind of shocked me. As for the cast, I’m not very fond of Syamsul’s acting. He’s good looking alright, but there was something off with the way he delivered his dialogue. I dunno, it was monotone. And I still think that Liyana Jasmay wasn’t ready for a wife role just yet. She looked fifteen years old to me! And perhaps her role in Niyang Rapik is too strong that I’m having a goosebump every time she appeared on screen, haha. As for the ghost scene, it was hella scary. I closed my eye most of the time. I almost didn’t know what happen in the corpse room because I closed my eyes the ENTIRE time, kekekek.

And I have to complain that the male audiences at the back were too loud. They laughed every time the ghost came out. Can you imagine how many times they did that? It was a scary movie, do the math. It was really disturbing. I had the same experience when I watch Niyang Rapik but it wasn’t this bad. Why do they need to do that? Trying to be cool in front of girlfriend? Dude, it’s not cool, okay? Go rent DVD if you gonna act like that. Sekian terima kasih.

Happy New Year

Ah, I’ve missed the 010111! I haven’t been able to update this blog on New Year since it has been another busy weekend - away from internet. As December is the month of wedding, I got two weddings invitation but I can only attend one T__T. I didn’t go out for the countdown celebration. Just content being at home watching New Year movie but I didn’t miss the fireworks. I can watch it from my balcony. It was so pretty~

On Saturday, me and zurazura went to IKEA to buy some stuff for home. Going to IKEA has always make me go jiggy wiggy even if I’m not buying anything. Normally, I will spend more time in the kitchen section because I always dream to have a big squeaky-clean with build-in-cabinets kitchen (though it does not imply that I’m a good cook or anything). Bedroom section give me a thought that I need to do some sort of spring cleaning. There’s a lot of thing that doesn't fit in my wardrobe anymore and just had to go. I believed that I only wear half of my clothes most of the time. There are even items that have never been worn in the past 4 years! Gosh, wardrobe cleaning gets on to the top of my to-do list for this weekend~

We had lunch at Manhattan Fist Market. I ordered the flaming shrimp with rice without fear for my allergic to seafood. Haha. Served me right! Later when I got back home, my whole body was itching! And I was sneezing throughout the night. I swore that it was the longest night I’ve ever had!

Anyway, I hope that 2011 will be another great year for everyone. I hope I'll accomplish more and lead to a successful life. So everyone, take care of yourself and please be happy~

It's Gonna Be a Classy Polka Dot Skirt Baby!

Last Sunday was the most productive weekend I’ve ever had. Me and my sister Mira finally learn how to make a skirt! My mum used to sew our clothes when we were little and she made numerous pretty clothes for herself. So when I told her that I wanna learn, she was more than willing to teach.

So mum told us that we were going out for fabric shopping, so we quickly dress up and I decided to bring Sam along to the mall. And speaking of Sam, me and my sis actually did a little camho session secretly in our room despite the fact that my mum is already screaming for us to hurry up, kekekek.

I hope my sister will forgive me for putting that pictures of her because it’s so damn hillarious, I just have to laugh every time I look at it. It's kinda funny how we turned out wearing the same theme - stripes. It was obvious that she was copying me! I think it's a sibling thing, we thinks alike a lot~

And this is the fabric that I bought for my skirt. Mum paid for it (I love you mum!). The material is so soft - it feels just right the moment you touch it! And it's gonna be a classy polka dot skirt baby!

And it was also the day of Suzuki Cup final between Malaysia and Indonesia. My mum was yelling at us because we would dash from the sewing machine towards the TV every time my dad screamed, ‘Goaaaaaallllll!!!!!!!!!!!!’ and dancing like there’s no tomorrow, hehe. We really did well, didn't we? 3 goals to nil is really something they should be proud of. But let's not get arrogant just yet. Keep up the good work and beat them with 4 goals tomorrow, okay?

Anyway, my skirt is almost done. Probably I can wear it in the next update. Till then, that’s all for now~
