tick tock to the big day

Think back, it is so not me to be apart of blog, twitter, instagram, etc. Well, that happened. The so-not-me is becoming ME wtf. Seriously, me myself can't understand why I tweet less and don't have anything to post in instagram.One that I know, I kept telling myself not to talk about the engagement or wedding before the time comes. So, that was why I don't tweet and posting pics. Okay, that makes some sense hehe.

Since the engagement day is over and the wedding will happens in a few days, so it's okay to talk about it now. Plus, this AyuCandy asked me to blog about it HAHA I thought no one want to know. So yeah. Here we go.

Frankly, Dedek and I actually planned this last year I think, maybe November or December, I forgot. But then, we wanted to keep it until we both are very sure to proceed or not hehe. Then, we both were agreed to tell the families. Dedek told his family in an easy way I guess. And mine was too hard HAHAHA. I always have this problem when it comes to talk about something serious like this with the family. I always feel lost and don't know how to start. I took few weeks to think before I made a call to my mum HAHA.

Me : Ma, hehehehehe. I'm getting married this June. The engagement is on March. Hehehehehe.
Mum : Ehh? No wind no storm want to get married?
Me : HAHAHAHAHA

I even asked mum to keep it as secret until everything is okay. Then the pressure begun T__T

Malay engagement or wedding have this tradition of giving barang hantaran to each other. I don't know where to start, so I told myself to buy anything pretty and affordable that I want and put them in the dulang. I don't need hundred dulang. 5 from him and 7 from me are fine.

This one was hard. To choose between Steve Madden or Aldo. Both are super gorgeous and I can only put a pair *sigh. Finally, I chose Steve Madden.

Not a fan of yellow gold. Visiting goldsmith also awkward moment wtf. Dedek even suggested me to go by myself because it will be very awkward for both of us choosing the ring together AHAHA. In the end, I chose the simplest one.

Stuff are all ready. Decorating problem chime in. I know I am not a creative person to turn a makeup stuff to a miniature twin towers, or turning a pair of heels to a miniature boat wtf. Bought pretty baskets, pastel flowers, beads, tadaaa~ problem solved!

Mine was pink. Purple for Dedek.

And the day came. Since the first day I agreed to engaged, I said I don't want pelamin. Everything should be simple. Old school please, no pelamin and the engagement is still on. In the end, my mum won wtf. She said I am the only daughter and this is her first and last experience. Okay, fine. Pelamin is fine. When I woke up the next morning;

OMGHIJKLMNOPQ!

Striking green, striking yellow, breath Vujie, breath deeply. Everything will be fine. That was what I told myself.

To keep everything simple, the natural makeup was done by myself. Well actually, it is the makeup I apply on my face to school HAHA. Nothing special on that. And I wore the Jewel peplum from Jovian Mandagie, last Aidiladha collection. It is pretty so it is okay to wear on my engagement day. Hair color done by Amy from number76. I purposely went to KL to get new hair color because Number76 salon is the only salon that gives my hair less damage from coloring. They are the best!

And this man. I agreed to give him a big responsibility to accomplish a taking-care-of-Vujie's-life mission wtf.

The mission begins.

Dedek and I, and also both families agreed, this engagement is only lasted for about 2-3 months. The wedding will be in May or June. This is actually what I always had in my mind. I don't want a very long engagement period. Engagement for me is something tough. I heard stories that during engagement, anything can happen. Pressure is double. And I think I am not tough enough to keep that as one of my major problem in life HAHAHA.

And they are all right. You think engagement is nice huh? Refer picture above. The first fight.

HAHAHAHA. No lah, it's not. We were just talking about something but I don't know why my face looks like I'm gonna slap him in any minute wtf. And actually, we are doing very good during this engagement period. Thanks to the short engagement period hehe. 

The wedding will be on 31 May and 1 June 2013. Maigawd it is next week! You, who are reading this, are invited to the wedding ^^, and share the happiness together with us hehe. As this post is near to the end, I can't guarantee when will I update on the wedding. I apologize in advance hehehe.

taken. but, not really.

Reaaaallllyyy want to blog something that makes me reaaallllyyyy excited these days hehe.


But I might spurt out something that I shouldn't talk about it yet hehe.


So, I better not say anything yet.


But I promise I will.


Someday. Hehe.


Just to tell you guys that I'm engaged.

 

29th March 2013 <3>

makeup organizer

I showed this section in previous post but, let me show you once again. What to do, this is my favorite section in the house wtf. Frankly, because this is the only part that shows my house somehow looks neat and nice. The others might give you a nightmare. Actually I want to show you guys my super adorable crystal clear makeup organizer!

Tadaaa~ Here it is.

I found out about this organizer through Sabrina's blog. She blogged it but god knows how committed that girl in blogosphere, she blogged everything that I can't find the real post anymore (or maybe I'm just dumb like that) HAHA. They say this organizer thing started famous because of Kardashian. I don't watch Kardashian series or whatever so I don't know until I found out through Sabrina. Sabrina is kind enough to give link of where can we buy it too. However, I think the price tag is killing me #foreverpoor. 

So I became Detective Conan, using the power of google, tried to find cheaper price tag. God listened. Google helped. I found this post. I read and I sent an idea to my mind that I can afford it HAHAHA. I don't know, maybe if you can find it maybe in alibaba or taobao, it will be waaayyy cheaperrrr.  Or maybe, the prices different from each other based on its size, I don't know.

I emailed Lilian at lilianhii79@gmail.com (in case you guys want it too hehe) and asked if she still sell the organizer. I was lucky she said she just restocked. Even though patience is virtue, in this case waiting is killing me HAHAHA. So I tried my best to pay as soon as I can and deep in my heart I prayed hard she will give her best too. Lilian is very good I tell you. She responded to ALL my emails. Even I just typed Thank You lol. She even helped me predict when will the package reached me.

That's how my makeup stuff look right now. Crystal clear effects somehow gives classy luxury look I guess hehe. I don't really have lots makeups. So, this size is actually perfect. This transparent organizer really helps me find things I need easily. I think I should apply this concept to my wardrobe also. I keep on losing undergarments nowadays I can't find matching bra and underwear wtf.

That thing covered with pink blingbling is actually my blusher brush, in case you are wondering lol. Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil works very effective in combating with pimples wtf. See? I don't really own colorful lipsticks. All of them are in natural shades. Except the Silky Girl in hot red shade and I bought it just for fun. Never wear it outside or else I'll look like clown. I can't handle it HAHA.

 

First drawer filled with eyeshadows. Yeah, all in brown shades. Boring right? Recently, I went Dior and bought pink eyeshadow and I'm still taking special lesson until now on how to use pink eyeshadow through Youtube wtf. The Dior girl said my skin tone can handles pink eyeshadow prettily (she said while applying it on my eyelids because I got free makeup session) but yeah, whatever professional magic touch will always looks good. Me myself? I don't think so fml.

Second drawer. Moisturizer, foundation, sunblock and eyebrow powder. Essentials only.

Third drawer. Compact powder that no longer used (nowadays I only put loose power) but I refuse to throw it away because of the pretty case hehe. Some Holika Holika free stuff. 

They are all basic. That why I said the size is just perfect for me. Unless my job requires me to put 10kg chemicals on my face, so maybe I need bigger organizer wtf. 

And yeah, if you want to get the same organizer you can email Lilian. I'm not sure if she has other sizes but you can always ask, she doesn't bite hehe.

Sofina bag story

Almost everyone around me knows my obsession toward bags. I have too many bags. Even my mum and aunts wait patiently for my spring cleaning, because they know there must be something useful for them, especially bag lol. Last December I brought back my i-dont-want-to-wear-anymore bags to my hometown in a large size plastic. I also can't recall which bags I threw inside because they've been in the plastic for ages, but I swear they all still in good condition. One day, when I was checking my mum's facebook, I saw her photo bringing my Juicy Couture bag to go outstation HAHAHA.

I realize I had too many bags. And being me, I always buy bags, doesn't matter cheap or expensive, as long as I like them. So, I tell myself not to buy just any bags anymore. If I really want to buy, think deeply on how long I will be able to wear them. I should invest in good bags. Even though if I happen to just have 2 bags, they must be real good!

And, God knows how much I desperately want Balenciaga. Since it costs a lot, I have to save as many as I can. By saving, I have to sacrifice lots *sigh*.

But, it is all written up there. I bought a bag last week, and it is not Balenciaga HAHAHAHA   

  

Sometime bag inspired by Vivy Yusof. She named it Sofina.

Here comes the full story.

My bff also admires Vivy's style. Especially her taste on bags. Obviously, her bags are all expensive hehe.  When Vivy announced that she will produce bags, my bff was like 'let's buy if it's really good.'

And I said, "No babe. I promised myself not to buy bag if it is not Balenciaga." I said that in my mind.

"Okay, let's do that." That was what came out from my mouth.

A week before launching, I reminded her to stay in front of computer at 10 am because that was the exact time of the official launch. And she did. I was at school with sucks internet connection, I failed to do the same. Bff sent me whatsapp, telling me how beautiful the bags are and they were available in purple, blue, red and green. I was, "okay, wait till I reach home this evening." I even promised her will place order that night.

And when I reached home, my mind was working hard to decide either blue or purple. Bff wanted green. Then I went to FashionValet, only to find out that colors we want were all sold out! Omg that was real fast! First attempt failed.

I can't remember when the exact time, my bff whatsapp me again. 'Hey, they have your purple bag now. Just take blue for me.' I was happy and I put them into cart. Then I took my own sweet time to pay because I was actually intended to buy another shoes hehe. So okay. Bags, confirmed. Shoes, confirmed. Proceed to pay. 

'These items are currently out of stock.' FashionValet told me that. And they were the bags. The bags gone again! Not even an hour! Second attempt failed.

Days later, announcement up from FV team. Sofina bags will be restocked again. I know I can't make it because I will be at school at time they restock. So, my bff and I made a mission not-so-impossible. Bff is not so familiar into buying from FV so I let her use my account to make an order. The time came.

Bff : Okay, all items available. How should I proceed?
Me : First you bla bla bla bla. Already? Next bla bla bla. Wait. Look at the address. Is it my Miri address or Kinarut? If Kinarut, change it to Miri.
Bff : I don't know how. I can't change it direct here.
Me : Omg how?? What if they sold out again?? Okay okay. I'll go home now!
Bff : Okay, hopefully they will still available.

Unfortunately, driving from school to house usually takes an hour. And when I reached home, they were gone again. Third attempt failed.

God listened to us. FV announced that they will restock again but VERY LIMITED amount.

Me : They will restock again. I'll change the address and tomorrow you just proceed to pay. I'll teach you how. (explaining very serious)
Bff : Okay. You are so serious HAHAHA.

I am serious you know!

Next day,

Bff : Okay, everything is ready. Your card number?
Me : 237678364876394734628372389
Bff : Okay, done. They said, 'thank you for your purchase'. That means success right?
Me : YESSSS!!! *too excited hahaha*

WE MADE IT! At our fourth attempt HAHAHAHA

And when the parcel arrived, as soon as I closed the door, I immediately looked for scissor. I can't wait any longer to lay my hands on that bag. Maigawd you are super pretty Sofina. Thank you Vivy, you are very genius. Words not good enough to express how grateful I am to invest in this bag.

Vivy's version

Vujie's version.

The color is more gorgeous in real life. The stunning purple is not really show in picture. It is so roomy that I bring my world in it. I can put everything including nasi lemak in it. Even textbooks!

No no no. Doesn't means I'm not eye-ing on Balenciaga anymore. I still am. But currently, this Sofina will be my everyday bag hehehe.

teach me how

Can anybody photoshop experts out there help me on how to edit pictures like above? Or at least give me best keyword to google in case you don't have time to explain? Okay, I know first step is taking pictures in the evening maybe wtf. 

If I happen to get married, I would love to have wedding pictures like above instead of having common pictures like staring to each other eyes while trying to say I heart you thru the eyes wtf. Or maybe taking pictures in studio with waterfall scenery behind HAHA. No, really. I would love to have a simple outdoor photoshoot but finding a good photographer that suit my taste might be uneasy I guess. But, urm.. why do I talk about this when I don't even have a date for wedding yet? HAHAHAHA.

No, seriously. I really want to learn how to have pictures like above. Please give me tips. If I can't find good photographer, maybe I can just edit my pictures myself wtf.

Family trip to Kundasang, Ranau.

So I've been abandoning my blog again huh? Yea, I am. I'm enjoying my own sweet time at home, wasting every moment with deep sleep before I'm going back to my crazy working life. I went out shopping also, which I claim as my own self reward. But I guess that is not really accurate because I shop all the time HAHA.

And I also went out of the house tagging my big families for a short trip to Kundasang and Ranau. My aunt actually planned this. She wanted to bring her kids for a short trip. And as usual, all of us automatically joined the trip HAHA and I was the driver of course. My other half drove my car back to his home because I was away to Sibu, he was so annoying he didn't want to use taxi, he said he had too many stuff this time *sigh*. So for this trip, I drove my aunt's MPV, considering my 7 passengers wtf.

Kinabalu Park. Actually we didn't go inside. We arrived late due to some reasons and of course because my driving skill is really poor wtf. I stopped by and told the kids to take pictures as proof that we were here HAHAHA.

My other half is originally from Ranau (his home to Kundasang only takes 20 minutes I guess), so I asked him to book rooms first. He booked deluxe room at Pine Resort Kundasang. For my standard, it's worth the money. It's clean and comfortable. The surrounding is very pretty too. But I would choose to eat outside for breakfast. Not really a problem actually, it was just because the choices are limited.

It was heavy rain the night before, so the next morning was realllllyyyy cold. I don't really expect this weather because last time I came, it doesn't really cold and I brought thin clothes!!! Serve me right. It was too cold that I woke up at 4.30 am and can't sleep *sigh*. However, it was breathtaking seeing Kinabalu Mount in the morning. See my cousins? HAHAHA all wrapped like durian crepe. At 6.30 am I was, 'wake up! You guys said want to see Kinabalu Mount right? There!' And my other half was like, 'sigh this girl, what's so special about it?' HAHAHAHA okay lah you see it for the whole of your life but please be understanding for us.

Waiting for checkout.

Kundasang's weather makes me feel like I'm extra pretty HAHAHA

Since it was really a short trip, we don't bother to bring the kids to Poring Hotspring. The chances of kids don't want to go back after having fun is sky high. We chose not to take the risk HAHAHA. Then we head to a known natural fish spa, Luanti.

My second time to Luanti and I'm still afraid of the fishes HAHAHA. They're so big I feel like they can bite my feet until my knees wtf.

Look at my annoying face wtf. Mum was so busy trying to catch fishes for no reason.

The tour guide, my other half. He was like, 'come here. Those big ones are useless. They only cuddle your feet. These small ones actually give you real spa.' And I was, 'what? They bite? NOOOOO!!' HAHAHA

Fishes all gone from our side because people next to us bring food for them wtf.

Ungrateful fishes after ate all food from us then you guys ran away. 

Then we head to Desa Cattle Farm at Mesilau, Kundasang. I heard so many stories from my friends. They all said the place is soooo beautiful. But they forgot to tell me how risky the steep hills. I was so thankful that I asked my other half to drive. I would cause unpleasant memories if I am the driver. One friendly reminder from me if you wish to go there, make sure your brake functioning excellently especially if you drive automatic car.

So yeah, I took nice pic of you. Now, your turn to take mine.

You think this nice huh??

Next attempt. He said I'm too short to snap the peak view wtf

 On me ; Top and pant : Roxy

Sandal : local store

And our only pic together taken by my aunt. I'm soooo makcik-makcik right? HAHAHAHA. He said I look like I'm losing weight but why do I feel like I'm gaining weight? I'm trusting my own instinct because I know what I eat.

I love trip like this. Trip of lots people and lots sweet memories.

leaving footprints

Since kid, I always dream of studying abroad because it sounds so cool. That dream never came true because I was not a very bright student back in school days. So yeah, study in the country still gives me good life. However, overseas still sounds cool HAHA. Unsure how it all started, travel becomes one of my mission in life. Airlines websites are among my favorite websites wtf.

I do love traveling. Before I start earning my own, I took part in college activities because I wanted to get a chance of getting free airline tickets. You know how it works right? Be active, be winner, then college will send you to compete with contestants from other states. Usually it will be held in West Malaysia. So, we from east will go there. That's how I managed to get free tickets HAHAHA. Its 2 in 1. Competition and jalan-jalan hehe.

Then when I came into real life, earning from my own sweats, my wish getting bigger from domestic to international. This year, I settled down with Bangkok and Bandung. My other half and I keep telling each other how we want to visit Bangkok again because we had not enough. The people is so nice, the food is very delicious, tourist friendly, not to mention shopping heaven. Even though flying to other countries sometimes makes me worry because of language differences (my english is not very good and not very fluent also), but I think so far nothing too hard to handle.

For the time being, I have few places to dream of. Let's see.

JAPAN

One of my favorite. I always tell the universe that I must come here before my last breath wtf. Malaysian needs visa to visit Japan and they say to apply it requires at least RM10k in saving account *gulp* That's a lot of RM!

Can you see how beautiful sakura is? Everything is in pink.

Of course the top reason why I want to visit Japan is I want to spend all my money there! Gosh I really love Japan stuff. I read that Japan has many tourist attractions such as historical buildings but I'm not so into buildings, so I guess shopping suits me best HAHA.

SOUTH KOREA

Before this I really really want to visit South Korea. I think it is because I watch tons of Korean dramas or movies. Then, when I read others' experience, I'm not sure anymore why I want to go there. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer going somewhere I can shop till drop HAHA. They say it's a perfect vacation if you want to visit historical buildings or drama set. Yes, I can still shopping there but Japan worth it more. Or maybe I want to go Korea just because I want to ask the universe to let me meet these people;

The hilarious Running Man.

The angels SNSD

Big Bang

I sound like 15 year old girl when I mentioned those Kpop Idols, didn't I? So what? I'm a teenage in the heart HAHAHAHA

MALDIVES

Honestly, this never came into my mind until today HAHAHA. I was reading people travel experiences on the net, suddenly I found a thread of Maldives. Maigoodness I don't know Maldives look soooooo beautiful like this. Frankly I do know Maldives as one of beautiful islands, but I don't really care to google more about it until today.

Can you say no? I'm not a beach person. I always avoid the sun. I get sunburn easily. I don't know how to swim. I don't wear swimsuit. I am afraid of sea creatures. But this one is exceptional. 

And actually, I still have an option of not going to Maldives to save cost. I can still go to Sipadan Island or Kapalai Island (pic above). But, you know right, I said something about overseas earlier hehehe. Well, to be truth, I think my other half will forever disagree (unless we win free tickets and accommodation from lucky draw wtf) on this beach idea. He works offshore so he gets boring already. He said whenever he see seas he wants to vomit HAHAHA. But I doubt that because his favorite food is still seafood wtf.

So universe, please let me know which place should I go this coming 2013. Besides, please pour me with lots of RM too. Or if you are double generous, make it in USD. I would be forever thankful for that.
