Lust of the month.

Even though my current purse, bag and shoes are red.. 

I thought why not try a different colour this time round and go ahead with Metallic Grey? Looks quite neat ain't it? Pretty sure it goes well with my work outfits and for Fridays with jeans too! Haiz decisionsssssssss and I'm only allowed to get the ballerina or the purse.... To at least "commemorate" my recent promotion. I've worked hard so should at least put those $$$ to good use right? :P

Been wanting either one of the nightingale but if I were to damn right make the purchase, that means my flight ticket and Air BnB to Istanbul will be out of the window. Even had this thought that perhaps I should get it with 2015 bonus? But.... Hahahhahahahaha tak kahwin jugak aku nanti.

Renny x Syahrul @ Gurame Indonesian Restaurant Changi.

I've always been passionate about events, be it for work or personal matters and when I got the surprise box to be Renny's bridesmaid, I was more than glad to help and be a part of her big day. Before we all know it, that meaningful date (3/01/2015) for Renn and Syahrul came! Pre-event "party" was at Park Avenue Changi and that is where we all began dolling up by two other MUA, Kak Yumi and Kak Fad. I had Kak Yumi to do my hair and make-up! As much as I love it, it was a lil thick for my liking but I supposed that was how things were + we gotta standout a little right? And since it looks so good in photos albeit flash photography, made my face looked fairer than my neck. Boohoo but nehmind, in normal lighting, it was fine! Click here: x and x and herrrre!

 Both solemnization and wedding reception was held at this lovely place, Gurame Indonesian Restaurant at Changi which over looks the sea and has got a garden theme feel to it! It rained for a while when we were getting ready but lucky us, the weather starts to change and it was breezy the whole late afternoon to night time! Alhamdullilah to the fact that Syahrul got to lafaskan that whole sentence thingy on one breathe and brought a hugeeee smile to Kak Renny kita. Hehehe.

Of course, the bridesmaids and another with my Crystal Sisters and out partners! Ps: I weren't too pleased when I saw this photo where Zaki didn't stand close to me! *go ahead and roll your eyes* Basically, I hate to see gaps in group photos la.. Or perhaps it was my OCD acting up orrrrr I just wanted him to stand closer to meh! HAHAHA.

Look at how gorgeous this Renny is laaaaaaa. Hello? Merepek punya lawa can? And nope I'm not being biased or anything like that but she seriously was exceptionally lawa nak mampos. I think I said "Renny kau lawa nye" like more than 10 times? Sorry babe hahahahaha!

 Last but not least, the friendship we all forged, will definitely be remembered for a very long time. How Sheril fetch me from home and after, one whom I felt closest to, speaking like a bullet train and entertaining each other's nonsense, how Shikin was so quiet but was so nice, sweet and helpful all the time, how malam berinai with Haya and Dee was funny coz one lost her voice and the other was actually busy with her own wedding cards hahaha + them influencing me on Running Man, how Izza rants and her whole bimbotic-ness comes to life hahahahaha! and how accommodating and gentleman the maid of honour, Helmi was! Pretty cool to have clicked very well with everyone! Till my next bridesmaid duty. xx

I'm in love and always will be.

Yesterday was our first virgin trip to JB and no words could explain how happy I was throughout the rare weekend date (10hours ++). In fact, I'm so happy being with Zaki that I wanna be with him 24/7 hahahaha. Surely it may be a bit much for some to hear those words but hell, I'm in cloud nine, with or without him. At times it feels like he lives in my heart and my mind.... :P

Whenever I see this phrase "Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with someone else.", I cannot explain in further details for I agree 100% to it. I'm neither engaged nor married to him, yet, but this overwhelming feeling I have.. Can be quite unbelievable. We are similar in so many things and that's a major thumbs up because I'm so thankful to have found a lover in whom I call my best friend. He's been amazing and all the time spent together have been great thus far. 6 months down and I look forward to forever. ♥

alice + olivia // starbucks cutie

Someone please tell me how cute this is?!?!?! I would totally love to have it on my work desk as it's uber chic but it's pretty exorbitant as this limited collection comes in a set complete with a Starbucks Card, tote bag and ceramic mug - all adorning the playful and iconic #staceface. The sets* (only 88 available if I'm not wrong!) are available only at Starbucks ION Orchard for $128. And I'm pretty excited to share a sneak peek with you guys on how my current desk looks soon as I've been trying to 1) Jazz it up and sticking to a "theme". 2) Get fuchsia peonies or white roses at the side table as well but I haven't got the chance to visit Far East Flora. :( 

Ps: Yeap crazy procrastination going on there. Hahahaha.

Valentine's 25th @ The Duxton Hotel.

 

My views on The Duxton Hotel is that it was too dim for a birthday party. It actually turns the atmosphere to be a little "gloomy" especially when coupled with frequent rain and lesser light that comes into the hotel. But of course, for a cosy staycation for two it might have been nice though I wouldn't recommend and would rather one head over to another boutique hotel. I do have to say that the lobby was nicely curated but aside from that, no biggies bout the place uh. The only thing I liked was prolly the bathroom because it was all in emerald green marble!!! 

 

May this #quarterlifecrisis be a wonderful turning point to begin something new and that all great things be sprinkled upon you darling.
 Have a blessed birthday kak yims hehehehe aka valentine!

My hair is my crowning glory.

A month ago, I changed my shampoo to Diane Moroccan Oil and damn that was an unfortunate bad bad decision. I don't know how few bloggers can say that their hair became softer and all that. Okay fine, maybe different hair textures reacts differently. But my hair and scalp have alhamdullilah been in good shape and therefore I barely had trouble with any shampoos out there. :(

Been trying to go all sulphate-free for the past 1 year and gonna continue doing so. I mean.. I'm trying and therefore it has always been either Organix or Avalon Organics. I alternate between those two brands and would faithfully put this Neem/Coconut/Olive oil on my hair twice a week. Gonna order Oh Hello Hair! pretty soon to simply stock up. Amazing stuff but I do think it's a little pricey for something where I can get from Mustafa? Different brand but it does serves its purpose and therefore it's totally up to you! Sure sometimes it doesn't smell that pleasant but hell, I'd rather have my hair soft, shiny and healthy with all naturale products.

Okay I don't know why I'm even ranting about all these when I've so much work to do but yeah. I cannot wait to do some kind of a treatment and perhaps snip my hair a little? It's getting so annoying, dry and long (though many tells me that my hair is fine already!) hahahaha. Till then, XOXO.

Get-up.

I see myself in these on Fridays and Saturdays. If only the weather shows some mercy...

Sleep.

I don't know how to explain the feeling I have right now. It's like too much to handle? The Bridges event is over yesterday and I have another 2 more pending in which it's quiteee a load on my already aching shoulders, literally. NUS 110 is on 1 Feb (i've over 800 rsvp to take care of!) and NUS Open Day (imagine the logistics and calling of secretaries for bla bla and etc) falls on the 14 March. Oh god, typing those two dates down already give me the chills because there really are a lot to be done!!! Ohhh since we are at these dates, I might as well say that my first Group Based Assignment falls on the 8th Feb and TMA01's deadline is on the 22nd Feb. KILL ME ALREADY PLEASE.

I do question myself if the additional commitment that I have now, pose a little obstacle in balancing my schedule.. I mean, I don't dread nor do I not like it. In fact, extra time spent daily is love and I appreciate being fetched and always always always be thankful for having such a kind hearted, loving other half. Ps: I'm madly in love with you, Muhammad Zaki.

Just so you know, the amount of coffee I take daily doesn't really help anymore. Sure, all you need is probably 6 hours of sleep each night but hell, for someone who sleeps regularly by 10pm.. Sleeping in after midnight is extremely draining. Some say that I should probably start "training" for the future but hell no? Sleep is precious. Fucking precious to me and I get easily moody if I don't have enough of it.
