A Thought ...

Perubahan dilakukan dengan perbuatan, bukan dengan percakapan. Dan janganlah kita menidakkan hukum hakam agama, dosa dan pahala kerana ianya telah ditetapkan. Kita bukannya malaikat atau maksum. Kita cuma manusia biasa yang takkan lari dari membuat kesilapan dan sebagai manusia biasa, kita terikat kepada perintahNya. Jika terlalai, bangunlah dengan cepat dan jangan sesekali biarkan diri hanyut di dalam dosa kerana dunia telah menunjukkan tanda tanda kedatangan Kiamat. Berubahlah sebelum terlambat. Sebagai manusia yang mudah alpa, mudah terpengaruh, i feel blessed to have someone to guide me. Alhamdulillah now my life is better than ever.

Terrific, Terrific Weekend!

As all you Malaysians know, Babyface came down to perform here on Friday as part of his Southeast Asian tour and Malaysia tanahairku yang tercinta is chosen as his first stop!

This is sedikit sebanyak coretan of what had happened on Friday, 5th of Mac and Saturday ...

My flight pukul 1.10pm, and i went to airport at 10ish am. Checked-in at 11am thinking it was 12pm. (salah tengok jam!). Alone and bored to death i went to the cafe because i was starving. But there was nothing interesting there so i bought a hotdog bun. Nasib baiklah before i makan i sempat tertengok the bun, ya Allah how shocked was i to see that the bun dah moldy. So i told the auntie and she replaced me a new bun, but same thing happened with that bun. I tak nak make a scene because i wasn't in the mood so i told her its okay and opted for a Maggi cup instead of godknows whats in the other buns kan! Bosannn menunggu and dah lah takda Wifi. Pastu tetiba ternampak Farah Fauzana & Faizal FBI. Terubat jugak lah kebosanan aku. Fafau bercermin mata gelap dan memakai cap. Maybe tak nak peminat perasan that she's there kot?

On the plane, i slept like a baby and was awake for less than 10mins untuk sumbat the mango juice & strawberry muffin into my mouth. Lepas tu sambung tidur. I was so goddamn tired, sampai je kat airport Subang i took a cab to my hotel. Supposedly a friend offered to pick me up but i couldn't wait for him because i was super sleepy. Went to my room, charged my phone and slept for almost 2 hours.

Then bangun, siap, siap mandi and went to JW Marriot to pick-up my concert tickets from my cousin. Then took a cab to KLCC for the concert. 5ish pm ... traffic in KL at that time was reaaal bad. Sabar, sabar punya sabar, akhirnya i sampai KLCC at 6.30pm. Masa tu i dah start gelabah because i thought everyone dah sampai sana then when a contacted a few friends, including my sister, they were all still stuck in the traffic. So i ngangalah keseorangan until my sister finally came at 7.45pm! I was damn pissed. Luckily i bumped into Liyana and Azrul 20mins before that. At least ada jugaklah kawan nak merepek and of course, sempat jugaklah snap one or two photos, thanks to Azrul.

My sister, Diana

Sarimah was the emcee for the night. She's truly gorgeous in real life! And Najwa who is the daughter of current Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister, Tan Sri Dato Haji Muhyiddin Yassin opened the show with few of her songs including the one she did with Malique Too Phat (i don't know whats the title and too lazy to Google). Her voice memang truly beautiful. Sangat speechless bila dengar dia menyanyi! And Babyface came out around 9ish! Sangat lambat. But masyaAllah his voice memang exactly the same as in his tapes, vids etc. I was very starstrucked and i think i screamed the whole time when he sang my faves such as Mama, I'll Make Love To You, End Of The Road ... all by Boyz II Men, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, Everytime I Close My Eyes and When Can I see You Again (unplugged, acoustic?) ... WCISUA was the last song he sang and everyone gave him a standing ovation! His voice is truly beautiful and ticket yang berharga RM453 was so worth it! ILU Babyface!

Babyface!

I saw few celebs there ... Natasha Hudson who is drop dead gorgeous in her killer outfit, Puteri Sarah with her boyfriend, Ning Baizura with husband, Noryn Aziz sat in front of my seat, Anuar Zain, Syed Hussien and Zain of Ruffedge, both with their partners/wife, Tengku Zawyah (Dato K's ex wife) who sat in the same row as me and my sister, Tengku Siska of Hairdreams Extension who is very petite and very gorgeous! I love her hair, outfit and that canary yellow Chanel handbag of hers! Ahh so jealous! And i also saw the founder of product Biodex and Paklah's SIL, who else ... KJ yang sangat handsome! When i saw him i was like .... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Sebab sebelum ni i tak pernah pun terfikir yang dia ni handsome tapi setelah melihat KJ in real life, memang lah dia ni Brad Pitt Malaysia. Ha ha. Gila handsome.

Lepas habis concert, of course mesti ada photography session. Took few pics with friends then balik to the hotel. Went to 21 and Werner's in Changkat BB. Had fun with my friends and Mr. Jay and co.

In short, i had a greaaaaaaat weekend. Thanks to my mom, sister and friends.

A Good Day.

Everyone who is close to me knows that i have a serious case of allergies, since 10 years ago. Few nights ago, i was so bored i sengajalah google about the long term side effects of Zyrtec (the one and only allergy med that works on me), and i was shocked. Some of the side effects i dah pun ada such as insomnia, weight gain problem, moodswings, dry mouth and dry skin. No wonder. And i've been taking this pills for so long and lately since its not working so well (maybe i dah immune to it kot), i started to take 3 pills at a go. Sometimes im scared i might ODed for taking to much and mixing my pills.

So yesterday my mom took me to Island Hospital because one of my cousins dah okay after getting her treatment from the skin doctor there. I got there first because mom had things to do so she came 10 mins after i registered myself. Since i was bored, sebab tunggu my giliran lama sangat, i online lah using my phone, Wifi kat situ free, takkan nak tengok je kan? 

My turn (and mom) sampai, went in for about 20 mins. Doc gave me 4 strips of Aeres (this one tak pernah try lagi), cream, a strip of green pills to take before i sleep and a soap, i think its called Ellgy or something, can't remember. When i was in the elevator, i baru realize that i tertinggal my Gucci handphone pouch. My mom bising lah cause its expensive, almost 1k and plus its leather ... so pretty and so sad that it's now gone. My mom suruh pakai Gucci Feringghi lepas ni. What a cruel cruel world. This is the second time i lost my Gucci handphone pouch. First time, the one Awy bought from HK. That one is much prettier than yang recently hilang ni. Maybe takda jodoh kot nak pakai.

After seeing the doc, we went to the petshop. I bought food for my babies and i also bought tiny outfits for them. Ha ha. So cute tapi what a waste they couldn't fit into it cause its a much bigger than them. Too bad. If not they'll look so cute in the tiny colourful dresses! After petshop went to Cold Storage for groceries, and alhamdulillah i found the caramel syrup that Ezar's mom wanted. Can't wait to see what she's going to do with it because his mom is a really great cook!

On our way back, mom and i discussed about cars. Hopefully, insyaallah i can get one when im done with my driver's license. This is the 5th time im taking it. Note to self: stop procrastinating goddamn it Melissa! My boyfriend pun dah pening everytime when i cakap about my license. Haihh. Then balik, i fell asleep because i was so tired. Tak cukup tidur and all, plus i woke up early. Woke up around 8ish then mandi and siap siap because my boyfriend's coming to pick me up for dinner. I was so damn hungry and i wanted really heavy food and he suggested Hameediyah (his favourite and my late dad's too). At first i was like tak nak lah because i don't really like the place. Because you see, im a nasi campur type of person. But in food department, i somehow always give in to Ezar. But, masyaAllah. Couldn't believe myself this time i wallop till licin. I find it really weird because i've been here many many times (since i was a kid) and never once i enjoyed eating here but this time it was different. The food was reaal good. And now im craving for it! Can't wait for Saturday. Im going back again. Macamana lah tak gemok kan?

After Hameediyah, Ezar wanted ice creams and he suggested Baskin Robbins. I was like tak nak lah sebab memang after Hameediyah, every single time, lepas makan jadi mengantuk and lazy like a goddamn fat cow. Thats why i don't like eating there!

So Ezar settled with this pralines ice cream at BR and i had this cake-something ice cream and masyaAllah it was so good! It had shortcake in it and pretty much tasted like a cake ice cream, hence the name.

I got home a very happy young lady many thanks to my darling boyfriend and my awesome mother. I should start packing for my trip to KL trip tomorrow. For Babyface! And hopefully after that i can get my Indomee at Bistari, double shot only mind you. Such a fatso! But i am happy fatso so its all good i guess. 

Dear Allah SWT, please help me to be a better Muslim.

Amin.

Happy Times

Last Saturday was Zara's (my boyfriend's little niece) first birthday. And as usual if there's a party, i would be the most excited person. Its like tasting creme brulee for the first time. Ahhh ... Because i love planning events. So i offered to order cupcakes for her as a gift. Tapi dugaan demi dugaan yang datang. Because supposedly the mother nak buat the birthday this coming Saturday, on the 6th of March because Zara's actually birth date is on the 2nd of March. But because one of my boyfriend's sister couldn't attend next week so the birthday was fast-forwarded to last Saturday and i was given a 4-3 days notice. Hell i was panic. Because which baker would want to take a last minute order right?

So i started my search for cupcakes bakers in Penang. Found a few, tapi most of wasn't available on that date. Then a friend suggested me to try out this baker from mainland. I was happy because she accepted my order eventhough it was very last minute. But thankfully i also ordered a box from another baker as a back-up. And boy, i was glad i did that because the lady baker from mainland only informed me on Thursday night that she had to 'balik kampung' on Saturday morning! So i continued with my order with Alvin, from Cupcakes Passion. Totally recommended all of my readers to order from them because their cupcakes bukan saja sedap (mine was choc moist cupcakes), tak muak eventhough you eat a lot and the fresh cream icing aren't sweet like some other cupcakes. I was very satisfied and thankful to Alvin for taking up my last minute order and for entertaining my endless questions.

So here's the photos:

So pretty, tasty and colourful! Happy birthday baby Zara!

Okay, enough about the little girl's birthday. On to four more celebrations. Recently, three of my friends got married and another one got engaged. They all looked bride-licious and so gorgeous in their wedding attire.

This is the girl who got engaged. Without makeup she is already beautiful because her face always has this certain glow. And im jealous of that. Ye lah i kena tempek Benefit Dandelion baru nak nampak macam tu. But not her, cause hers memang natural. Mak jealous you!

And here's is three of my friends who got married.

This is Wani. Her solemnization was on Valentine's Day and her reception will be on the 1st of May. Tried finding her photo with her mother during this but there's none. Her mother is a beautiful lady and you won't believe thats her mother because they look more like sisters. Well as they say, like mother like daughter. If the mother is pretty, of course daughter also pretty.

And this is Ita. Her wedding was on 20th of Feb. She's of Pakistani heritage. The interesting thing about her wedding is, because she's of Pakistani heritage, their culture does not accept 'wang hantaran' or known as dowry money but they acceot gold as replacement. And so this lucky bride got RM21,000 worth of gold from her husband! Phewww ...

She wears Pakistani/Punjabi attire for most of her reception as you can see on the photo above. Feels as if im looking at Abishek Bachan and Aishawarya Rai pulak. 

And last but not least, one of my old friend, Sal. Her wedding reception was on Valentine's Day too, same as Wani. Kenangan yang tak dapat dilupakan is when me and my friends semua sibuk naik ke atas stage untuk bergambar di pelamin with the newlyweds. Dan sebab spotlight yang sangat terang, her husband decided untuk tutup the spotlight for awhile with the small pillow yang digunakan untuk meletak tangan sewaktu merenjis. Lebih kurang 10 minutes jugak lah kami mengedik snap pics atas tu. Then suddenly one of my friends terbau asap as if ada benda yang terbakar. Tengok tengok pillow tu dah half hancur on one side. Nasib baik we were fast. If not mungkin satu pelamin tu terbakar. Thank God that didn't happen. Ha ha.

Congratulations to Aja, Wani, Ita and Sal. I wish you girls all the best in this new chapter of life. May you love and hold each other in the worst of times with trust, faith and belief. May God grant you girls a happy married life! Amin.
