THE SEVEN SISTERS CLIFFS

Wednesday, August 6, 2014

I am now in Bristol airport alone, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning local time waiting to board my 0805 flight to Dublin, Ireland. And the others will depart from Manchester. Sobs. Reason being, I bought my ticket extremely last minute, so the cheapest flight available was from Bristol. But it's fine. The fact that I'm travelling to somewhere completely different from home and enjoying the experience makes me excited. Just that, I'm slightly nervous about the trip, especially the travelling solo. Do pray for my safe return :).

Anyways here's a bit of the very few words I can think of now (just to kill some time while waiting) with regards to our road trip to Seven Sisters on 3rd Syawal.

Lovely weather wasn't it? Honestly I didn't know the existence of Seven Sisters, so I hadn't done much research. Hehe.

Hahaha. Cuak ni sebenarnya. Kalau jatuh, sia-sia je uols! Ada orang tu siap merangkak hahahahaha. #anokkelatedibirminghae rasakan! Punyalah kau takut tapi gigih nak duduk kat tebing kan. Demi instagram material katanya. Kosser! Haaa keluar dah ayat percakapan seharian. Haha.

Nature at it's best. Beautiful cliffs and fresh air, definitely worth a visit. Seriously I can't imagine dangling my feet there again. Seriau!

Oklah, back to Mr. Grey now. Hehe. And cuppa of coffee to keep me awake. Still, 5 hours to go.

Happy working peeps!

RAYA IN BIRMINGHAM

Monday, August 4, 2014

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Maaf Zahir & Batin

It's now half past three and I'm still up and about. Running on god-knows-what. Hehe. Haven't been able to update but I'm hoping to catch up before I'm going to Ireland this Wednesday. Initially it was the craziest and hectic preparation for my raya in Birmingham. Followed by a road trip to Mayfield Lavender field, Seven Sisters and Brighton. Then we were cleaning our new house for two consecutive days and yesterday was official recovery day, I totally collapsed hehe. Penat!

Raya di perantauan was, well, fun. Hehe. I will be writing about my raya celebration in Birmingham at some point soon, I promise! But first and foremost, thank you Mr. Mandagie for the feature! I never would have expected to be featured on your Instagram anyway. Hehe.

Love all your designs! Much love from Birmingham, UK.

BAJU RAYA 2013

Saturday, August 24, 2013

Hehe. Sila jangan muntah. Asyik baju raya je kan! Haha. So tadi I went to my mom's school. Ada jamuan raya pulak kat sekolah dia malam-malam ni. And dia suruh pakai baju ni ok. Dia kata buat since last year tapi tak jugak pakai-pakai! Haha. Terlupa sebenarnya ada pernah buat baju ni. Tailor-made dengan auntie Geok Fong. Hehe.

Macam biasa, kalau baju pelik-pelik ni, dah sah-sah la kena tiru #retis kan. Keke. So I copy Marsha Milan Londoh. Tapi kalau tengok dia ni pakai nampak cantik langsing kaki panjang. Sobssss. Fida pakai nampak kembang di situ yer. Choii. Whatevs.

Sama tapi tak serupa. Hehe. Rasanya yang Marsha ni pakai from Mimpi Kita which I can't afford at the moment. Mahal, ahkak belum nak cukup duit lagi. Tapi Mimpi Kita punya Raya collection this year mmg to die for. Cantik sangat-sangat. And Syomir Izwa's. Cantik ok I'll plan to buy soon maybe in December or January. Hehe. Motip beli after raya? Buat stock. Haha. Teringin. Mana lah tahu boleh pakai dekat UK nanti? Hahaha *cough cough*.

Tadi jugak ada jamuan raya Utusan, our client. So I bumped into Marsha Milan ni ha. Haha. And tokti. And few others. Tak ingat siapa dah. So flawless tokti ok. Duit banyak kan maintenance dia pun sah-sah tinggi untuk dapatkan that kulit. Tsk. Cantikkkkknyaa kulitt dia. I is jelly. Kak Sitiii, pandang sini please. Hehe.

AIDILFITRI 2013 #OOTD

Monday, August 19, 2013

Repost #OOTD, outfit of the day :)

D A Y 1

Pearl white prada lace from Bandung.

D A Y 2

Lacey lacey kurung modern.

D A Y 3

Emerald green peplum.

So, 3 hari je sempat beraya. Ada few lagi baju raya tak pakai ;p. Hehe. What to do, super busy. But then, finally I'm back! Peak season is over, alhamdulillah. And that was the worst peak period ever. Masa last day submission haritu (15 August 2013), I didn't sleep from 6.00am to 11.30pm the next day! You do the math. Zombi, dark circles, eye bags. Semua ada, complete set. Deadlines, you really drive me nuts!

And I gain weight easily during Ramadhan. Sobs. So anyway, sesiapa yang faham ataupun terbaca tentang proses obsession yang bermula bulan lepas, the obsession is still going strong. Hmm. Bukan sayang, bukan cinta, that's way too serious, too soon. Entahlah. Tapi ni suka yang sangat-sangat. Kalau ada yang tanya kenapa suka dia, I have no answers. Do you need reasons to like someone? Ya Allah perasaan ni sangat-sangat kuat, I can't handle. Ultimately deep.

I truly love the facts that he is highly ambitious, workaholic and passionate in his work. And I stepped out of my comfort zone to make the first moves to know him better. And you wouldn't believe what I have done or will do for him. Hmm. I don't know what will be the outcome, Allah sebaik-baik perancang. Tapi, I'm willing to take the risk if it doesn't turn out the way I hope. Kecewa yang teramat sangat, yes. Tapi entahlah. If I could turn back time :(. I need to go somewhere to clear my mind. Dia terlalu menggangu. Everyday kan, I pray and I hope to see him, tapi ironinya, kalau dah terserempak tu, lari macam tak cukup tanah! Haha. :(. My confidence level is very very low. So sad, I hate myself!

Sorry this post is very personal. But I can't help. "I am woman. And when I think, I must speak." - Beyonce. Hehe.
