Review 5: Pakej Perkahwinan Johor

Ehem...masa yang dinanti nanti *bajet* haha. Ok. Review pakej pertunangan. Ramai yang bertanya pasal pelamin ni. Sweet n not overly done. Just nice untuk engagement or nikah. Ok. I admit i'm having hard times hunting for a good vendor. Eh bukan good, i mean yang compatible. Y?

1. Kebanyakan wedding vendor kat johor or jb mmg x berapa update website. I am heavily relied on internet sbb my engagement kinda short notice

2. Oleh sbb no 1, makanya pegi la ke pameran..tapi susah nak cari berkenan..yg fresh, modern, simple n affordable.

3. I dont have any experience kat jb...dat makes things worst..n i hv trust issues...xmain book je. Kena tgk betul2

So masa wedding exhibition tu memang spend masa yang lama n xbook pun haha. Balik, gi tengok semua flyers, tgk website dia n melawat..

Jumpa lian at her studio..terus jatuh chenta. This is it. Dia tawu photobooth, dia tawu candy buffet, guest book, design fresh n dia sebaya je.

Borak2 macam ada chemistry *giteww*

Okok. Cut story short, i discussed with her dgn sketch. Good! Dia terima my proposal dgn her input. I asked her for branch with flowers n ada kerusi (sebab both of my mom n FMIL ada problem dengan lutut, so memang consider them) Idea pelamin tu datang masa jem odw balik ke rumah kat Bangi hahaa. Inspired by pokok2 sakura tepi jalan :P

Cuma bab follow up dia kureng ckit. Haha. Sorry dear. Tp datz not my prob coz my day to day work mmg keje "kejar" orang.. N alhamdulillah i love my pelamin to bits. Dont judge with the pics, sbb pelamin tu kat ruang sempit...so memang xnmpk full n ade dinding... Tp seriusly mmg sama mcm my sketch. I showed to my frens n family my sketch n they were impressed haha (sbb sama, bukan sbb sketch tu lawa)

OK..enjoy the pics :D

I took package with her..include photog, pelamin, makeup n handbouquet. Tapi malangnya handbouquet babybreath impian saya xkesampaian. Tp xkesah sgt, coz i am satisfied with her overall work. Lian jenis yg sgt kreatif, open dgn apa2 suggestions. So sape2 yang memang rajin research, nak unique, vibrant, hire la dia. Coz i have approached few other vendors...selalunya diorang akan ternganga...hahahaa

N at one time i impressed with her sbb i keep on asking y y n y esp on the price. Sori taw sbb my nature of work mmg carik salah org hahaha. Tp dia sabar n PR bagus..maybe sbb amek law degree kot :-)

Recommended: yes :-) insyaAllah i will take her for my wedding

Review 4: cupcake n mini cakes

Alhamdulillah.. Ni pun puas hati sangat2 dengan kak leen dari Loyang Kuih hehe.

Haaaa kepada sesiapa di johor bahru yang nak order apa2 jenis cakes, sila tempah dgn dia k, highly recommended!

Memang selalu tempah dgn dia. Hasil tgn dia memang best n x takot beli cakes dgn dia sbb icing dia mmg x muak.

Most importantly kita tawu dia berniaga dgn ikhlas.. Friendly n x berkira.

Call kak leen dgn otak yang masih tak tetap. Kira2 3 minggu b4 majlis. Alhamdulillah dia masih terima even sgt bz masa tu.

Mintak 100 cupcakes untuk doorgift, tiramisu (baru nak try), n mini cakes untuk hantaran. Kaler bertukar2 n jap nak dome jap xde dome. Haha. Tapi kak leen sabar melayan karenah. Yang best tu siap hantar ke rumah. N mini cakes tu sgt comel n masuk dgn hantaran lain :-)

Tiramisu? Omg the best ever! Tak tipu. Kebetulan ada bapak sedara pny birthday mlm tu, then nyalakan lilin n makan ramai2. Semua puji mmg sedap.

Thx kak leen! InsyaAllah dipanjangkan jodoh memang nak amek kak leen lagi :-)

PS: Dia ada review my cakes kat blog gak hehe

Review 3: Beading beadmeplease

Okok ada yang komplen tak nampak beading. Sbb gambar jauh sangat. Ya ampunnnn.

I buat beading full pearl kat cuff tu. N tambah swaroski n 3d flower kat bhgian depan dress.

Jap tunjuk gmbar b4 and after beading.

Before....

Review 2: Baju Tunang

Fuhhh ramai yang tanya taw pasal baju nih hehe

Baju ni bukan pakai designer pun. Guna tailor.

Highly recommended!
My fren yg rekemen her. Dia pun macam sebaya i gak but very talented.

Design from yours truly. Mmg dalam kepala dah tawu nak macam mana.

Masa kecik dulu pernah berangan taw nak jd fashion designer (tak tipu!). Anyway sebab i dah design baju sendiri, makanya tak perlula hantar ke designer. Cuma kena sketch, bagi gambar contoh and terang betul2. Sebab guna tailor kan, so pastikan kita bg diorg clear instruction :-) dan design yg i buat sgt safe. Read: kalo gemuk pun org tak perasan haha. Tapi on dat day kene pin kat belakng sbb longgar sikit. Tu pun aritu da alter sbb longgar (nk gtaw da kurus kot) haha

Chiffon silk n satin silk 4m. Beli kat jakel. Menangis bila keluar duit haha.

So basically my dress ni empire dress dgn kain yg sgt flowy. Mmg suruh umie lipat cara kipas kat bhgian tepi.

Bila siap, hantar dress utk beading kat zaza beadmeplease. Memang totally recommended. Cepat and sgt professional. Bagi requirement sikit je n she used her magic hand to make plain dress to WOW! :D
Memang baju i sgt simple..cantik for me n not overly done. Mmg sengaja x pakai lace utk baju utk x nmpak keterlaluan.

Im not too fancy on heavy bead or full lace. N xsuka baju kurung haha. So mmg decide pakai dress.

Dress ni simple so boleh pakai again n again. Material pun sangat sejuk!
Alhamdulillah kalo compare bagi kat designer, i save lebih kurang rm400 - 500. Memang byk stage n effort. Tp it worths the money :-)
PS: Kaler combo ni masih baru n fresh. Sume puji sbb sgt fresh n boleh jd trend. So siapa2 size M - XL or free size boleh sewa full set dgn tudung n veil. Just email me at orkid88@gmail.com. N mmg snang fit dgn sume body type coz boleh alter kat bust line :-)

Review 1: veil vispera

This is the very very best thing. Seriusly i love my tudung n veil to bits. Rasa nak tido dgn veil tu haha.

I got a lot of questions regarding tis veil. so here it is! my review hehe

Pencarian tudung sangatla memeningkan kepala. Sebab saya ni jenis cerewet dgn tudung n mmg nak pastikan tudung tu tip top.

Haha. Survey2 mmg kene decide yang i have to make a new ones. Sbb kaler saya ni tak pernah dibuat orang. Kalo ada pun its either pink je or yellow je.

So i email n text puan hawa pemilik vispera.

Alhamdulillah dia masih ada slot. Sbb dia ni mcm goreng pisang panas. Brides mmg suka tempah dgn dia.

Jumpa dia di jusco ampang. Try tudung kat toilet situ untuk test ok ke x dgn muka. Decide terus nak amek yg ala2 arab. I dont fancy tudung ada awning.

Bagi sampel kain, diskas mcm mane nak, then done. She is very nice person. N very organized n very talented. I selalu communicate dgn email psl my baju progress. Sbb nak pastikan she got the idea n tudung n veil nmpk matching. Sbb masa book tu, my dress tak siap lagi.

Then few weeks later dia call. I cakap la nak yg meriah, full border sbb dress simple. Then dia pun cari material.

Tanya harga...fuhhhhh telan air liur. Haaha. Okok call her balik cakap takpela, i want just a simple beading..kat atas kepala n bwh je. Dia cakap harap2 dpt lace yg cantik n murah.

Then few days later she called, n said dia dapat lace yg cantik n sgt sesuai dgn my dress. Then dia cakap dia x sampai ati nak buat simple je haha. Sbb kaler tu dia tak pernah buat n sgt cantik. So diskas, dgn some additional charge, we both agreed. She is tooooo nice sbb mase nak amek i was very very busy n she came down to passs the tudung n veil herself. Naik lrt n ktm ok. Dari ampang ke bangi. Adui sgt sgt sgt tharu. Sbb dia sgt excited dgn veilntu n she said tu design baru utk next year. Terharu!

I tried the full set of my dress with my bff, tirah. Both of use were screaming sbb the veil is tooo beautiful (besela girls kan terlebey excited haha)

So sape2 nak buat tudung n veil sy sgt sgt rekemen her. Mmg x rugi spend a lil more money..

Link to her facebook and website.

PS: Siapa yang berminat nak sewa veil n tudung or separately can email me ya at orkid88@gmail.com

Drama hehe

Macam2 drama before majlis.. N looking forward for more. Kena sabar n pandai ketawa. Hehe

Drama babak 1

Call vendor pelamin xdapat2...ini bukan lawak ok. Rasa darah naik kepala.

Dulu janji datang pasang hari khamis... Pasrah...

Drama babak 2

Makanan bukan dari katering. Kira macam partly buat sendiri. Mula2 mama upah 8 orang anak murid untuk tolong hidang n basuh pinggan. Hari ni diorang call yang sume cant make it. Ok. Nanti jangan ketawa if saya basuh pinggan dengan dress ye

Call B2B Peah...hanya yang da melalui je yang paham kot. Lama gak bergayut n bergelak ketawa dgn dia haha.

I know more dramas coming up...tapi again, kena pandai redha n redah :-)

Doakan semuanya berjalan lancar ye. Ameen :-)

Persiapan Penting

Hari ni tak nak cakap pasal preparation untuk tunang. Alhamdulillah semua dah siap.

Untuk perkahwinan atau hanya pertunangan, kita memang spend banyak duit dan masa untuk ke arah itu. Video di bawah betul2 terkesan di hati.

Jadi, untuk perkahwinan tahun depan (insyaAllah), saya akan pastikan saya masukkan segala persiapan untuk selepas kahwin.

Dari kecik, memang saya sentiasa aim untuk jadi isteri yang menenangkan suami dan anak2. Honestly, jika ditanya sekarang, persiapan rohani/minda untuk ke arah itu masih jauh. Actually, jika nak tunggu bersedia ke tak sampai tua pun x akan bersedia, jad ikatanpertunangan in 2 weeks time ni jadi "a good force" untuk bersedi jadi a better lady and Muslim. InsyaAllah. Mohon doanya ya :)

Anyway, sila tengok video ni. Sangat inspiring untuk semua, tak kisah yang tgh plan nak kawen ke, single ke, laki or perempuan :)

Product Review: Herbal Aloe Concentrate

Siapa yang ada masalah gastrik?


Atau sembelit?


or masalah angin2..



or just nak muka glowy2? Or kurangkan scar?



Seriusly dah guna produk ni memang fall in love. My true experience:

1. Rasa perut ni dah cleanse and kulit more hydrated. Hydrated, bukan oily. Sbb my skin mmg a bit dry


2. dulu memang serius xboleh makan lambat, pening dan terus muntah2.

3. After a reli big feast (eg. buffet all u can eat), nx morning sure semua keluar. Rasa ringan sangat

4. After having big meal, minum ni rasa best sgt. Macam eno effect

5. For some reasons, if sakit tekak or rasa badan panas (petanda awal nak demam), i will take this. Memang sangat kurang.

Ramai yang selalu mengadu masalah angin, gastrik, masalah buang air...so apa kata try dis product? Sebab if keep complaining tapi tak try something to work on it, sampai bila x baik kan?


I have few customers yang ambek aloe sahaja dan alhamdulillah gastrik mmg ok. True story.

More info cotact me ok :)

Brazillian Wax U vollssss

Hi!

I am still remember that one of my "To Do List Before Married" is to try Brazillian Wax.

Woaahhhh. haahha. I heard it is sooo painful but it is soo worth it.

I did some research and found out that Strip offers the best Brazillian Wax service.

But...the price is quite too high..

And...I am an addict for any deals website (like Groupon, Mydeal, Milkadeal). I was praying (no joking!) that Strip will offer their service in one of this website! Coz I dont think spending RM100++ for only to "tidy up" your under there is acceptable haahha.

You can get the deal here: http://www.groupon.my/deals/klang-valley-kuala-lumpur/strip/715916248

Then I found this!!! I was the happiest girl in the world :)

So come whoever wants to take up the challenge with me hehehe.

Working Tips!

Hi,

Below article was forwarded from my colleague. It is really inspiring and helpful. So thought of sharing to you too :) It is really long but really worth it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Breaking the glass ceiling

Manohari Abeyesekera is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, and of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (FCA). She holds an MBA from the University of Colombo, winning three gold medals during her course. She also possesses a first class honours degree in biological science from the University of Colombo.

Manohari is employed at Hayleys PLC as manager for strategic business development. She was adjudged as the CIMA young star silver medal winner at the maiden CIMA Janashakthi pinnacle awards programme, held in 2004.

I’ve often wondered why there is little representation of women on the boards of most corporate organizations. Formal monthly board meetings are generally a gathering of men, with a woman only occasionally attending: a recent CIMA survey reveals that CIMA’s female members are six times less likely than its male members to be in senior roles such as CEOs or CFOs.
Is the invisible glass ceiling impregnable?

The glass ceiling
The term ‘glass ceiling’ was originally coined in an article written by Carol Hymowitz and Timothy Schellhardt on the 24 March 1986 edition of the Wall Street Journal. The piece referred to the invisible barriers that impede the career advancement of women in the American workforce.

Some of the questions that come to mind are:

why do salary surveys reveal that women are paid less than their male counterparts?
why do women fall back in the corporate ladder after outperforming male peers at university?
do women concentrate too much on working hard, and insufficiently on networking?

The issues for women
The traditional woman preferred to stay at home and look after the family. However, the present economic environment, coupled with expectations of higher living standards, has resulted in an increasing number of women seeking jobs to earn a living.

Women in general have two main issues:

1. Balancing work and family

2. Being recognized at work in a managerial capacity in a male dominated industry

The dual role of career woman and wife and mother means juggling two to three roles in a day. McKinsey’s report on ‘Women Matter’, highlights this as the ‘double burden syndrome’.
Today’s careers are not restricted to nine to five. Occasionally, you’re required to attend meetings, seminars and cocktails well past traditional work hours. Guilt creeps in when you have to leave home for a long time. We wonder - is this worth it? Do we miss seeing our children growing up?

Neither are we satisfied just being housewives. The years spent on higher education are not put to full use. One cannot afford to take a career break, as there may not be suitable job opportunities when you want to want to rejoin.
Knowledge also changes rapidly. There is a risk of becoming obsolete if you take a career break.
How should we strike a balance between work and family?Good time management is essential, and family support is a bonus. Organizing the day and giving priority to the most important tasks is a must. Devote ‘quality time‘ to your family.

The Asian woman is fortunate to have the immediate family - parents and in laws - to support her in looking after the kids while she is at work.

How can you stand out from the crowd in the workplace?Working hard and putting
in long hours is not the only way to advance your career. Build a good
reputation in your company, take up challenging assignments, and pursue higher
education to become a rising star.
Showing your skills set
In today’s
context, soft skills (for example good PR and communication skills) are becoming
more and more important than paper qualifications. Women need to portray an
image of confidence to their superiors and colleagues.
Leadership skills
needs to be developed. Ensure you have a vision with a clear strategy, the
ability to inspire and lead your team, and an awareness of when to show empathy.
You need not be a ‘yes’ person to your seniors, but disagreement needs to be
conveyed in a polite manner. Always uphold your integrity and values.
Think
twice before saying ‘no’ to an opportunity given by your bosses, even if it is
outside your comfort zone. In order to succeed, you sometimes need to take
calculated risks.
Networking is crucial in today’s business world. Devote
time to building networks with your fellow colleagues in your profession.
Understanding of different cultures, particularly when dealing with foreign
business partners, is also highly important.

The CIMA centre of excellence at the University of Bath school of management recently summarized the strategies for career development in business as below:

Strategies for career development

The glass ceiling can be broken, so be assertive and confident of your skills. Develop the ability to speak out in meetings. Be passionate of your career goals, with a role model or mentor to guide you.

It is critical to be a ‘team player’. Most finance professionals are at loggerheads with marketers in pruning their sales and advertising budgets. Therefore, you need to look at the big picture and what it takes to increase revenue, rather than just concentrating on cost cutting.
Remaining solely in finance can also be a hindrance; explore the possibility of switching to general management or marketing in order to help you reach the top.

A good mix
McKinsey research has shown that companies with 30% or more representation at board or senior management level produce the best financial results. A combination of men and women helps ensure better decision making, as women bring in a different dimension when seeking solutions for complex business problems.

'Boards with 30% or more female representation produce the best results’
Many corporate videos are becoming more emotive, revealing how their products and services are touching human lives. Gone are the days where the corporate videos were product centric. Significantly, women are the driving force behind 70% of purchasing decisions, even in traditional 'male' product areas such as cars: for example, research has shown that women influence 60% of new car purchases in Japan.

Naturally, not all women may want to reach the top (which is actually quite a lonely spot); they may opt for middle management careers. It is however clear women should be better represented in decision making roles in the corporate arena. Let us hope that more aspiring women are able to take up leadership roles in the business world in the future, finding the ability to strike the right balance between family and work.

fuhhhhhh

lama gila tinggal blog ni. alhamdulillah segala persiapan on track. squeeze in here n there.

semua dah siap kot. cuma persiapan yang last tu xde lagi.

hope semua lancar.

anyway, mama dengan semangatnya buat kad jemputan. yg sgt simple tp serve its purpose utk jemput n bagi direction.

so siapa yang nak datang, bagitahu ye...i will send u the card. majlis ni majlis ulangtahun perkahwinan mama dan ayah sebenarnya tapi anak dia pulak yang menyibuk. hikhik.

jemputlah ke jb utk destinasi cuti hujung tahun krismas hehe. johor outlet pun dah buka, makanan johor mmg tip top n nak ke singapore pon boleh. pendek kata johor terbaiklah haha.

Prep Tunang 4: Milestone Schedule

Lepas dah berkejar untuk carik tailor. 2nd thing I did was draft the "milestone schedule".

Yes..I am a planning freak. Jadi tak jadi tu 2nd thing, yang penting plan plan plan.



Banyak template untuk planning gak. Even in google pon. Just go to google document and u can have a lot of planning templates. Complete!

Nature kerja memang project management, so macam dah terbiasa buat milestone, budget, sume2 la. So tunang ni I treated as another project. Mesti on time/schedule, on budget, and quality.

So here is the snapshots... Memang my own version diceduk dari my project haaha. I am busy woman (cehhh) so ada plan ni atlis takdela tiba2 freak out. Boleh tgk our timeline easily. Mcm myself, I am too busy in October so I made tis schedule flexible. So this is the key, planning mmg penting tapi yg paling penting flexibility kena ada. If not, kita yang stress sendiri :)


Setakat ni alhamdulillah, I put everything dlm tis schedule so I still have time for my family, friends and other things. Coz I know there are a lot more meaningful things to take care of apart of your event :)

I printed this out on A3 paper and tampal kat bilik. Alhamdulillah belum stress lagi haaha.

My friend yg B2B pon da mintak n she's very happy with this template. So if u want me to share template yg xseberapa ni email me at orkid88@gmail.com k :)

Prep Tunang 3: Why So Sudden?

Saya terima soalan di atas bertalu2 haha. Different answer to different ppl. Ya ampun!
Soalan di atas sebenarnya ada dalam fikiran saya. Tak mampu dijawab.

Banyak reason untuk delay our engagement or wedding.

1. I am sooo "attached" with my work.

2. I have a lot of things that I have not achieved yet

3. I am not prepared to be a mother..omg

4. My parents dari dulu warn jangan kawen b4 28. Diorang kawen 30-31 haha

5. Most of all, i dont have any savings!!! ok. panic now


Tapi because of the above circumstances, saya analyze (Business Analyst kan) yang sume items kat atas boleh solve dgn kahwen dgn dia

1. I think i will manage my work better. Two is better than 1. Then ada orang support or buat kerja sama2..just like masa kami study sama2 kat uni dulu :)

2. Paling I nak achieve is to open bisnes..and ojan pun berminat...dan kami boleh sentiasa berbincng and buat partnership since dah ada ikatan sah insyaAllah

3. Sgt takut jadi mother sbb i dont think i have enough motherly criteria. Tapi tengok ojan yang expert dgn anak2 sedara, sapa yang taknak mengandung for his child? hehe.

4. My parents sgt suka with Ojan. Period.

5. Duit? Rezeki dtg tak terduga. Bila dah ada aim, semua standard dah turun sampai ke tahap rendah2nya. Bagus juga asal tak timbul riak

Saya juga dah makin jauh rasanya dgn Dia. InsyaAllah kehadiran suami akan memudahkan.. Apa yang kurang sama2 ingatkan dan dosa berduaan sekarang mmg diganti dgn pahala.

I am the kind of person yg afraid of something that is not happening, full of dramas, ego, macam2 lah..again, if i were to summary why I decided to tie the knot..because of him.. and all the hikmah behind it.

Doakan segalanya. It will be very bumpy roads. Tapi insyaAllah berkat doa semua, selamat insyaAllah. Masih jauh lagi....

P/S: Ramai yg tny, mcm mana Ojan proposed. No proposal T.T Banyak kali nanges sbb dia x propose pon (i told u im a drama queen) hahaha

Prep Tunang 2: Hantaran Trays & Decos

Last weekend was a very very productive weekend.
Went back to settle a lot of things..
Since I did not do anything in October, except for the dress, I was quite rushed a bit.

Tapi alhamdulillah, i really love managing this. Belum stress lagi. My "project plan" sgt2 membantu. Maybe sbb kerja project management type of work, so semua plan pon macam nak manage project. My family and frens tgk pon terkejut. Template je gempak.
Tapi seriously sangat membantu especially bagi org yg sgt organized n time limited like me.
Anyway, will share with you in the next entry insyaAllah.


Tentang hantaran trays and deco, memang initially nak amek kat KK Homedeco je. Ada satu kat kajang. Tapi decided beli semua kat JB je.

KK ada sale ok!!! Sampai end of this month. Banyak gila items yg best. Seriously I went crazy there and bought unnecesary things hahaa. It is just my kind of shop.

OK. Untuk B2B yang masih mencarik2 tray yang cantik n murah, KK buat diskaun until 30% untuk dulang n artificial flower, buy 1 free 1.
BEST OF ALL, KK ada diorang punya decorator for free of charge!!! Bayangkan u banyak gila save kat situ ok. I surveyed if guna artificial, paling murah rm35 per dulang ok. If beli kat KK memang sgt save.

I am sux of choosing flower. I am sux at doing DIY je. I'm just good at imagining only. hahaa.

I want it to be simple so I told mama "Ala, letak 2 3 bunga je kat tepi dulang, siap"

My mom replied "Tak seni langsung"

Ok fine. Semua bunga yg I pilih semua kena reject. Muahaha.

Layan je la~ so my mom nak suruh kawan dia yang pernah decorate hantaran dia 25thun lalu untuk tlg deco. Me? Doa je la~~ expect jadi hantaran2 ala2 tahun 80an haahaha. Sebab KK kat JB ni xde hantaran decorator, Cetttt..

So mmg tis is a good investment sbb i am the first child n boleh diwariskan kpd adik n sedara.

Total:

Bunga + lilin (im a sucker of fragrance) + 7 dulang for rm170 ONLY.

Kalau compare rm35x7~~~ banyak saving. Alhamdulillah.

P/S: My mom pon went crazy kat KK ni. She will buy flowers here as well.

Prep Tunang 1: Fabric Hunting for Engagement

Bila tiba2 dapat berita...

Tak fikir lain dah...baju!!!! haahaha.

Very short notice kan. So kena make sure even dramatic tapi bergaya. OK . mengarut.
Anyway...memang ni lah perkara pertama yang dibuat. Carik kain. Nak upah designer memang tak mampu, maka buat long way...beli kain, gi tailor, hantar beading..siap.

Sebab noob pasal kain, maka telefon tailor berkali2 untuk tawu kain apa yang sesuai ahaha.
So atas survey sendiri dan tanya kawan2, pergilah ke jakel shah alam.

Simplicity. Sgt simple. tu je dlm fikiran. So amek plain chiffon silk 4 meter, satin silk 4m n border lace.
Mahal~~~~ tak sangka kain mahal camni. Tapi gatal sebab nak amek gak yg mahal sbb kononnya nampak cantik padahal org tgk sama je T.T

So agak regret sbnrnya tp xpela~ asal puas ati.

Pastu xtido malam. Serius tak tido malam sbb takut tak cantik. Ok. Lets just wait the outcome later~~

Year End Review

Busy mode activated.

When I said I am busy.. I am REALLY busy hahaa.

Poyo.

Bulan ni ke seluruh Malaysia n Singapore. Aaaaa.

Anyway, it is time for me to do year end review. I like it because it shows that I am near to get bonus and increment! But I really hate it coz need to write flowery lines just to show that you are doing good. Hell I hate it. Especially your reviewer is not the person who works with u. So how can she knows what I have been doing so far?

Plus, im not a good talker...or writer...I always believe in action.

Whatever~~~

Post ni sebab dapat feedback my summary pendek sgt by line manager ahahhaa. Fine~ I have loads of things to do. Refer kat feedbacks from all my stakeholders tak cukup ke? :P

Kartun kat bawah ni describe exactly mcm mana kita being ranked in company. True tho!

A Girl's Gotta Do What A Girl's Gotta Do Pt 3

What else could a girl ask more?
Besfren + good food + superb spa = Just perfect day for a typical girl hehee

So I had an appointment with eve de beauty spa last saturday.
I've been busy last week..outstation and all. Good reason to pamper myself!

My friend from KK..Tirah..she stayed over my place. Feel guilty leaving her alone in my house, I just brought her along to the spa. Hopefully she got a slot for spa too!

And...for first time customer she got 50% off!!!
Jcuzzi + aromatherapy body massage + hot stone massage + full body scrub for just rm60!!

So sesiapa yang berminat meh quote my name to the lovely lady named Eve or just bring me along!! I reli love spa. hehee

We were in couple room hahaa. Sounds so gay :P
Satisfied and happy customer. I've been to countless spa treatment. This is the best so far :)

After pampering our body...our stomach shouted and asked for pamper too! hehee

Then we just gambled and hunted for food at that area.
The name of the place is Big Brothers. Western cuisine

We were thrilled by the menu. Banyak gile kot!! and sume nampak sedap. Maybe sebab kebulur.

So we ordered nachos, fish n chips, spagetti and 2 sets of desserts.

Portion sgt besar ok!!!! sangat! boleh makan 2 org untuk per meal
Nachos ni sgt heavenly sedap.

The best desert eva! Bwh tu caramel. Banana fritters yg sangat rangup n manis. Cream yang penuh. Serius sgt best!!

Harga kat Big Brothers ni sumenya memang sangat ok. Considering its western food and portion sgt besar. Highly recommended. For those who curious, dia kat area The Strand, Kota Damansara. Banyak deretan kedai kat situ.

Dessert sgt besar! Its for 4 person portion. No wonder the waiter was kinda shocked when we ordered for 2 sets of desserts. Halfway dah sangat kenyang, so we cancelled yang the other one dessert. Bila tengok orang sebelah order yang sama, we were grateful coz mmg sangat besar.

We went back with full of satisfaction :D

She left for Secret Life of Nora and myself met my other half for movie date :)

Dilema sama ada nak create another blog just utk B2B or keep this blog.
Another blog would be very hard for me to handle.

I always love wedding. Sangat.

For those who know already, its going to be soon (not too soon)..but yeah...i x prepare ape2 lagi.

P/S: Jgn terkejut if blog ni tetiba beralih genre :P

A Girl's Gotta Do What A Girl's Gotta Do Pt 1

From the last two weekend, I spent my time with my girlfriends
Awesomeness! heehe.

So update sikit2lah eh...

Ni la kaler idaman kahwen nanti. Cantiknyeee Put!!!

Dari kiri ain, cik orkid, sya n paan. Sya n paan mmg bestest fren kat seseri dulu. Kami ni perangai luar dalam dah paham2 hahaha. Ain pulak satu dorm dgn paan. Tak serapat mcm diorg tapi sekejap je dah "masuk" hehee.

Sedih tak dapat ke Pusat Sanktuari gajah...tak dapat gajah, deer pon jadilah! hehee. Tu memang ada sign kena datang Jerantut lagi hehe. Tapi if dah berpasangan susah la plak nak tumpang2 rumah mcm bujang2 dulu. Opppsss :p

Misi ke pahang dapat disempurnakan bila makan ikan patin masak tempoyak selama 2 hari berturut2. hehe

Seriously sgt adore dgn rumah sya. Tak berhenti2 puji. Ada wakaf. Ada landskap yg sgt cantik. Interior design yg sgt cozy. Omg dream house! Tenang je kat situ :)

Bertahun2 tak jumpa :) Syukur sgt dapat join this trip. Kenangan sume refresh balik hehe. Semoga persahabatan tak pernah putus. Amin.

Thanks a lot sya for being an awesome host! To paan yg jadi driver n ain yg jadi penyeri. Serius, one of my unforgettable memories :D sayang korang kuat2! heehe

Alhamdulillah.

Genap 5 tahun kami *bercintaan*

Drama, air mata, bahagia semua ada.

Honestly dia bukanlah lelaki yang memenuhi *kriteria*

Sikit pun tak..eh tipu. adalah sikit2 tu kena.

Tapi sekarang baru perasan yang lelaki idaman yang menepati kriteria tu hanyalah another me.

Allah beri someone yg complement me.

Perjalanan kami sangat jauh. Terlalu jauh lagi.

It is going to be bumpy roads..but I know it is worthy.

Terlampau banyak yang nak ditulis tapi langsung tak tahu mcm mana nak express betapa bersyukurnya ditemukan dgn dia.

What more u can ask for?

When a guy undoubtly said to u that u are going to be a good mother. He can see you are the mother for his children.

What more u can ask for?

When a guy blends so well with your family.

What more u can ask for?

When he puts u on the top of your list

What more u can ask for?

When he loves u unconditionally..when u are at your worst.

**Crying**

What more u can ask for?

When he proposed u and shared his plan...

P/S: Doakan semuanya baik2 sahaja. Kami hanya merancang tapi rancangan Allah tu yang terbaik.

Of Raya Month & Weddings

Sorry for the lack of updates. My weekend in September is full! Anyway, last week my ex-coursemates from UTP came to visit my house.

I had something on that day. Hence, I just hosted them..tak join pun konvoi raya tahun ni T.T

Alhamdulillah the same weekend my best friend from seseri tied her knot. Nanti upload gambar kat sini ok :P

Sempena long weekend, my exschoolmate and I went to Jerantut Pahang. Main purpose is to attend Put's wedding. Spent 3 days two night there! Will update later what we did there. ehehhe

Seronok sangat spend time dgn diorg after few years tak jumpa. Borak3 and cerita pasal dulu2.
Dari gosip pasal hal masing2 sampai buka segala kisah lama. Serius kelakar!

And......diorang la yang tawu perangai luar dalam ok! Yela 2 tahun duduk sama hehe

Sekarang masing2 dah besar. Cerita pasal kisah dulu2 dan cerita pasal future :)

Sangat seronok even dah sangat lama tak jumpa tapi masih mesra seperti dulu :)

P/S: Sekarang nak aim spend masa puas2 dgn kwn2!

Selamat Hari Raya~

Salam semua :)Now cik orkid dah kat kampung :D :D

Suka sangatttt

Memang sengaja balik awal untuk bersama famili merasai kemeriahan ramadhan dan membuat persiapan.

Puasa kali ini memang tak tercapai langsung aim :( berharap ramadhan seterusnya lebih baik dan masih sempat ke sana..

Balik rumah ni ada misi kuih raya! Semua choc based - moist choc cake, choc dip cookies and choc chips.

Resipi ni dapat dari Syuhada. Thx dear!!

Gigih tol terap2 pastu celup2...ni laaa first n last time wat camni kottttt hahaha. penat hokkaayyy. Thx kngah n aiman sbb bantu.

Sume love2...maybe sebab sedang falling in love? :D

Jam Istimewa

Musim puasa ni memang musim mngeratkan silaturahim dgn kawan2..

Selalu ada je arrangement utk gather. I like! :)

Anyway, gambar kat atas tiba2 ada bulatan merah.

Tula salah satu "treasure" yang memang sy akan pakai. Wajib!

Pemberian Ojan 2 tahun lepas masa birthday. Yes..hanya jam. Jam yang sangat berharga bagi saya..

Dia pernah share yang dia xdapat bagi sebanyak bf lain. Tapi apa pun dia bagi memang akan saya treasure. Action speaks louder than words. Your love beats all the possessions in the world. Priceless!

Entry yang agak cheesy. Tapi I would like to thank him for just accepting for who I am. Gently layan me even I'm at my worst.

Saya ada impian yang sangat tinggi. Semoga Allah permudahkan :)

Update: Jam ni dah berusia 3 tahun sebenarnya hihi

How to Win at Work?

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them. Every day begin the task anew." - Saint Francis de Sales

I know I am not the best person to talk the above subject.


I am not even 1 year working at Shell...I am not the best staff. But I receive some calls and questions from some ppl when they want to start off their career life.


To be honest, I have difficult time adapting myself at first few months working. The feeling not being good always haunted me.I even dreamt of my work! Believe me, its not the most romantic dream :P


OK. Let me just share some of best practices (at least work for me!)


1. The power of visualization. Yes. Think positive! Start off your day with positive vibes! Listen to ur fav songs before starting your work.

2. Do not think too much of your career ladder. You should, but dont make it a roadblock of your success. I've seen so much people too busy chasing the victory but forget that everything falls back on how good you do your work. Just bare in mind, if you do good, the recognition/award/promotion will come in your way...even u never think about it :)

"Some people dream of success... while others wake up and work hard at it"...
I choose to work hard :)




3. My PM said. NEVER THINK THAT U HV LEARNT ENOUGH. You might be the best person at your project, you are SME of your job, or you are a holder of few certs. No, actually u can learn with your surroundings. Even with janitors, pak guard, akak admin. Do not pretend that you know everything! Ask questions if you dont!

4. Be passionate, but not obsessive. How to differentiate?


Passionate: You are looking forward to make a difference everyday

Obsessive: You are on holiday, but you're still worrying over your work

Obsessive leads to burnout. I make my own rules: No work on weekends and during my vacation leave. I set my target time to go off everyday so I will be very productive, and cut down procrastinating. I dont want to be labelled as workaholic. I'd rather to be called as a smart and dependable worker.



5. Network! But do not overdo that. To be honest, I do not too fancy about network. Network for me is a kind of manipulation. However, we cannot underestimate what it can do. So I just let it flows naturally. I participated in clubs and events so I manage to know some leaders. So it is 2 in 2: you network and showcase your skills


6. Bare in mind: You can have everything, but not at the same time. When you try to be perfect all the time in every thing, you find yourself not good at anything. It is OK to be good at one thing, then try another thing. Having too much responsibility also not so good


7. Say yes to challenge! Every employer want to have "can do" attitude in their staff. So if you find one task is too hard for you, it is good! So you can stretch yourself and see what is your ability. So just say to your boss "Can. But I need contacts and materials since this is a new thing for me. From time to time, i will ask you if I need guidance"


8. Plan your weekends. This will make you feel you have reason to go through a week! I usually keep my weekends busy. Hang out with friends, visit family, short vacation, etc. That is my booster to be more productive.


9. Start your day a night before. I would say my typical day starts a night before. I will check my calendar, update my emails (just flag as follow up), take down action items. I will do daily target and target of the week.

10. Keeep yourself updated with current news of your company ....not gossips ya!


11. Volunteer with your company's events/clubs


12. Take up some skills. Go to make up class...or baking class...or aerobic class. Or whatever that makes you feel happy doing it.

13. Do not too obsess/stress with your work. Do not let your work defines you. But you define your work.


14. Take charge of your career. It is ok to tell your manager that you want to take up leadership position. It is ok. He/she might show you the way. Remember, company really needs a good leader...and they will spot leader potential even at just your 1st year of working. If you dont like you work, change it! If you cant, change your attitude :)


15. Buy a good book. Be it motivational or politic or autobiography. It will teach u a LOT of things. Seriously.

16. Dress for the work/position that you aim for. If you want to be a manager, dress like a manager! For tips and hints you can refer here

17. Find at least one mentor. I know some companies pre-assigned your mentor. But be proactive and choose anyone that u feel suits u and u want to be in his/her position. Approach them personally and share their experience. Who knows one day he/she wants you to be her/his legacy? :D


18. Most importantly, set your intention right. Our ultimate goal is to have Allah's blessing. Why you work? For who? How you can make differences to other ppl? How you can contribute to the society? Reflect reflect reflect and you will be a better person :)

Good luck all! Remember, take charge of your career!
