It's amazing how happy and satisfied you can be when you finally managed to do what you've always wanted + the fact that it rendered very positive feedback.. Your feet may be aching from walking in those 4inch heels but hell it was worth it. To see all things pretty (from a regular and plain dining hall to something that looks pretty neat with all the floral and lighting!) and that event goes on smoothly (special mention to the OCR team in president's speech!), is just a matter of hard work. Lots of late nights, sleepless mornings, pending RSVPs, finalizing of catering and vendors, matching up of the corporate color to our collateral, shuttle services to event venue and man, I can list it all.. Especially the whole telan-all-the-sakit-hati-ness that comes together with it and just hustle on!

 I've always and will always be proud to be part of OCR. Corporate Events team FTW! xx

Lust for the November baby.

Deep down I knew it wasn't all splendid and fabulous but I knew I've tried my best in my first ever solo (pretty much) event. I don't know if it's a need to remind myself to calm down and that everything that I've plan will come to life. One thing's for sure is that I've gained much strength from blacking out in the office on Tuesday. God knows how my dearest time of the month decides to make a come back in such a short notice. Long story cut short, I lost a little too much blood that made me all sway-y and had a freaking pregnancy test done + another round of blood count which fyi, almost made me cried. Hahahaha I hate it when it comes to taking of blood for whatever reason it may be. I'll be totally and instantly weak. Anyway, I'm all better now and that's all that matters. XXX.

Third's a charm.

I'm all set for a fresh new beginning and cheers to the first! Life's too short to think tooo much and be pessimistic (yes I'm extremely guilty of that and I can be quite degil at times hahahaha). If shit happens, just flush it down and start a new. I know it's easier said then done, but trust me.. Things will fall into place and you'll get why things happened. :)

Anyway, I'm down for another event (ps; I'm the OIC and I'm crazy hell scared for it pleaseee. Going to work everyday with a freaking zoo in the stomach is no joking matter!) this coming Friday and I hope that I can have a proper update right after it because hell, if I don't.. I'm gonna lose the blog mojo! Can't wait to post pretty photos of Aidilfitri and erm.. More food photos! xx

Of major iftar session with the ones I love.

 

Lately, I've been really thankful to god for the love that he've rendered me for the past few months and this Ramadhan is nothing less but sweet. Deep down I know that things aren't gonna be like these forever but at least I've got a taste, or rather a glimpse of how wonderful certain presence could bring such happiness to my life. Too high and too strong of a brick of walls that I've plastered to the ground to guard myself but.. Love has his way round it. Enjoying every single moments that I have in my heart right now and I am choosing to not hope for anything but appreciate the prayers you guys would have for me. Much love and positive vibes to all of you!

I need a breather.

One of the sucky things right about now is that I've got no partner to do my PADI Open Water Dive with. Yeah I was supposed to go with my sister earlier but apparently she's got better plans. Oh wells.. Just my luck I guess! I knew I gotta do the things I wanna do myself and not expect others. Dad's scheduled for his knee operation in September and will be away from work for a good 3 months and therefore I doubt my Istanbul trip is ever gonna happen. Financial wise, I'm bound to fork out quite a bit even though my sisters are working and fyi, earning much more than me. -.-

I can never understand why my dad has to go through me always and not ask the others straight. I very well know my responsibilities as the eldest sister but sometimes, things aren't fair and I've been swallowing all that I could.. Haiya. Anyway, that aside. I've got 3 things that I have in mind but I will only go ahead and take the plunge with one! Zero plans to even tell anybody about it. It's either I do or I.. Die.

Hahahaha yeah must drama mama a bit ah.

Crazy as always.

I want to wear a navy blue sari so badly. I cannot wait for my one and only Indian darling to get married! Met Praveena and Maria a few days back for a quick catch up x dinner and for the 1548895th time, I told her that she's to get me a beautiful sari when she's getting married. I don't care hahahahhaa. IT IS A MUST. I even volunteered to dance to Bole Chudiya Bole Kangana. HAHA kill me already la guys.

I see fire.

Let's spam some images here and maybe you'd like to know what I've been up to?

Meet Renny, the makcik that I got to know via a social networking site aka Instagram! I can't believe how close we both have become. It's almost.. Unbelievable! Knowing someone pretty well when you've just met is fine but to be on par on quite a number of things are rare. And guess what ? I'm one of her bridesmaids and I don't know what else to say but that I'm honestly counting my blessing for having such a friendship.  That aside, we shall slowly count down to her big day and I'm one of those who'll make sure she's within all her preparation schedule! Hehehe perks of being good friends with an event organizer aye? *winks*

It's always a "misery" whenever I have to make payment for my school fees and like all the wise people would tell me, "shiqin, take it as an investment." Been trying to soak that whole phrase for the past year and oh god do I have a tough time doing so. Anyway, have I mentioned that my cousin turned 17 a while back and the celebration was a real sweet one! Her elder sister, Nisa put in so much effort and the fact that she practically did all these for herself.. It was like wow. I've always wanted to have an older sister or brother that would do.. What an elder sister would do la. From the Dean & Deluca rainbow cake in the most classy exterior to the mega huge helium balloon (inevereverreceivedheliumballoonallmylifelei.howcanlikethis.) but yeahhhhh loving the time spent with family and cousins as always! ♥

 My second time ordering from Yaya, the baker of Forgotten Kisses to those extreme yums meringues! They may be a tad too sweet but still, I love ittttt. Our 2 favourites are Nutella Swirls x Vanilla Chocochip! Ordering another 6 boxes from her and expected delivery a week before Raya! :) Magnum Ice Cream at Customs House, overlooking the MBS skyline followed by fireworks right after the sun set, nothing can be more romantic than that but I was with Atiqah hahahaha. As always, had a crazy ass good time camwhoring with her at Fullerton Bay's lobby area before making a move to Shah Alam for supper.

I had a major great time bonding over food with new friends (that's where I had my favourite Kunefe!), bestest colleagues for awesome Indian food just a few minutes away from campus and oh, just some loving solo time with good ol'salmon x asparagus! Haiz.. I simply cannot deny or emphasize the feelings I have towards food. The thought of it just makes me so so happy and the fact that someone came by my place a few days back to pass me some sweet chicken kebab from bazaar Geylang, boy I was in awe. Told him to give me a moment to emo and he probably thought I was crazy. Oh wells... Hahahaha. 

Lotsa love, shiqin!
