Masalahku

Siapa terror tolong kasi petua petui tradisional mahupun moden ye.

Masalah 1 : Hairloss

I recall many memories of my thick, long hair and sometimes used to wish it was a bit thinner so that it would be more manageable. But lately, my mum and my husband started noticing that my hair started thinning. Mama kata bilik aku byk rambut gugur. Eh bilik mama pun ada rambut pe. Sebab rambut aku pajang, or course ianya kelihatan obvious. Mama kata takpe, dia dah tua. Eh eh, gugur tetap gugur ye mama.

I myself had been noticing lots of hair falling out when brushing but at first I didn't think much of it untill my hair had started to get dramaticaly thinner. Ok la exaggerate je tu, biasa la tengah musim anak wayang kan. My hair belum kategori botak lagi sebab rambut aku flexible leh buat parting mana2 sahaja.

Tapi still, tak bengkek ke when it falls while washing my hair too? I feel like dying :((( Ala2 macam orang kena cancer je (tetiba aku teringat cerita Abang92, ala yg Azhar Sulaiaman berlakon rambut di gugur tu). Nauzubillah. Suka tokok tambah cerita tawwwww.

Tapi setakat notice je la, takde plak aku gi check-up bagai jumpa doctor. I had no clue that segala-mala treatment/procedure yang pernah aku lalui can cause hair loss, if that part of the reason la selain dari aku tak control makan minum ni. Bedal apa saje.

Maybe kategori ok lagi kot sebab setiap kali gi saloon, amoi tu kata rambut aku tebal je. Ko tak tgk rambut aku gugur, mesti rasa nak menangis je.

Masalah 2 : Sensitive ankle

What do you do when a pair of flats, pumps or any cover up shoes "memakan" back of your ankle? Hope you get what I mean. Takkan nak suh aku paste pic ankle aku yang mengerikan ni sampai kulit ada skit tercabut. Ye la buruk perangai I know. Masa keluar lunch dengan Ely the other day, and I took out my peeptoe wedges yang bertutup di belakang as I wanted to look different kononya walaupun setakat jumpa my friend sahaja. Dulu gi masa bekerja aku kai je pump shoe, heels bertutup bagai ni. Sekarang ni la asyik pakai heels 2-3 inches or wedges yg tak bertutup belakang sahaja kadangkala sgt nampak mcm comot ok (this only meant for myself).

Next time, practical would have been wiser. Pakai je la apa korang selesa. My ankle hurt so bad by the end of the day, I was tempted to walk home barefoot. Apa nak jadi pun jadi la. Nasib aku masih waras. Apa gila nak jadi Elyana di Pyramid. Masuk cacing baru tau.

Lepas balik baru aku bergoogle bagai cara2 mengelakkan kaki injured masa bershopping. Katanya a plaster always works. It doesn't look attractive, but when it hurts like shit, anything goes.

Apesal aku tak terpk beli plaster aaa?? Pakai bandage masa tu pun aku rela jeee. Tak cantik puhn tak cantik laaaa.

What amazes me are the high heels yang tinggi maut some people wear. Dorang control ayu ke time pakai heels tinggi or memang dah pro??

Therefore I desperately need this shoe (refer pic bawah ler, bukan atas tu). Been hunting it everywhere; OU, The Curve and Pyramid) tapi my size 7 adalah out of stock, apa colour sekali pun. Tolonggggg la kat mana leh dapatkan ia? Kalau leh dapat murah below RM100 pun lagi bagus. Maka tidak lenalah tido aku selagi tak dapat croc cyprus ini.

note : permintaan ini adalah relevan dengan masalahku ini. Or should I categorized it as masalah no. 3: Perlu crocs dengan segera?

Sekian, kerjasama anda amat dihargai.

Tony Roma's

Tadi keluar lagi dengan Ely, kawan aku ni yang kami berdua gi starbucks Selasa lepas. Sekarang ni dia tengah cuti and tengah nak sambung buat master. FYI, she's a doctor. Dulu time aku kerja, jumpa dia la nak mc heheh. Ubat2 lepas bersalin dulu pun dia bagi free. Best tul dapat berbestfriend kan doktor ni. Well, bagi mereleasekan tension dia lepas exam (walaupun dah lama habis) so as planned we went for a luxury lunch kononnya for compensating the energy and effort that she put in her exam. Nampak je Tony Roma's dekat Pyramid, terus rasa terpanggil nak makan di situ.

I don’t know much about Tony Roma’s actually, belasah je pergi. Aku bajet dia lebih kurang TGIF atau Chilis. The biggest difference I notice is the the atmosphere. Tony Roma’s is quiet, TGIF is party-like while Chilis is tengah2. Ordering ala carte would be too expensive I think. So, we decided to take the set lunch which is advertised as costing less than RM20 instead. Memang berbaloi. All set lunch are served with a cup of soup of the day, bread with butter and a choice of refillable soft drink.

Saya order Chicken Bow Pasta. Tak berapa best la. Agak muak.

Ely ordered Roasted Garlic & Rosemarry Chicken. Best2, aku memang tebiat gini, makanan sendri tak habis, duk makan makanan orang je kerja.

Both my friend and I found the service here to be excellently good. Waiters were prompt in serving and taking your orders as well as being attentive to your needs. Kitorang risau gak dia charge lebih untuk service, sungguh tiptop ok.

Last sekali kitorang dapat complimentary Mentos sweets and warm towels, tu ala2 na ksuh kitorang blah cepat la tu (saje bersangka buruk sebab dah kenyang). The food is so-so (Ely's food is sedap though), nice service, romantic atmosphere, what more could we ask for?

All in all, I think I prefer to dine in Chilis or TGIF. If you realise, the portion for set lunch is smaller than ala carte. Sebab tu la below RM20. Tetiba ending negative. Hahahah.

Dempo Snow

Semalam keluar lepak2 dengan my bestfriend dekat Starbucks. I just don’t like the taste of coffee. The smell isn’t too bad (doesn’t turn me on or anything, but I can stand it). Coffee taste? Bleh. Ye la I’m a freak. I don’t drink coffee. Tapi semalam I became freakier sebab aku minum gak demi menjaga hati kawan aku ni hehe. Tapi apa aku order semalam pun aku dah lupa.

Dah lama jugak tak lepak dengan dia. Biasala lama tak jumpa (2 bulan?), as usual we have this habit of sharing juicy gossip and stories tak kisah la pasal artis ke, fashion, kawan2 ke, family and latest addiction kitorang; pasal anak buah!

Actually bukan nak cerita pasal dia mahupun coffee ataupun anak buah kami (biasala mukadimah harus panjang), ni nak cerita pasal dia tegur kulit aku nampak sgt smooth. Aku syak sebabnya adalah ini :

Note : It's 5 pm, I only applied this on my face + vaseline as lipbalm yesterday.

Mesti korang pernah dengar pasal DEMPO SNOW kan. Its been sold everywhere in shopping complex. It is a kind of cream, white in colour with bengkoang (tak silap aku la) as the main ingredient. Cream ni sesuai untuk kulit berminyak dan berjerawat. Kulit aku tak berminyak dan berjerawat, tapi bila pakai hasilnya selama 3 hari di apply adalah juga marvelous. Halus je.

Actually cream ni mak aku bagi 3 hari lepas. Dia suh try. Selalunya apa mak aku suggest ni aku percaya skit (ke semua orang bila promote barang aku percaya ek?). Ala aku pakai time lepas asar sahaja, lepas tu time magrib nak amik wudhuk cuci muka. Time lain pagi/ malam ko pakai je la skincare ko sedia ada. When Dempo Snow being applied, our skin will fell soft , cool & oil free. Ala2 bedak sejuk gitu. I kinda like it becos my skin feel so smooth after I used it walaupun sekejap je. The texture is almost like Hazeline Snow. Ingat lagi dulu kecik2 maid aku dari Pendang (motif beritahu asal usl maid?) pakai hazeline snow. Kulit dia pun cantik.

Dulu2 kala kat Giant aku pernah di approached by the salesperson, sapu2 kat tangan and hasilnya sangat menakjubkan. Biasalah dasar mudah terpengaruh, aku borong 6 botol. Tapi balik umah aku tak pakai, sebab2 adalah malas dan even product2 Marykay aku time tu pun aku pakai jarang2. So 6 botol dempo snow tu aku derma je kat maid aku time tu, dah dia pun dah cabut balik indon. Aku syak dia dah jadi lawa skarang heheh.

Nway, it's up to you to trust the product. The packaging nampak macam cheap looking tapi, heard the saying : don't judge a book by its cover?

My mum have been using it for 3 months (apply lepas asar - before magrib shj), hasilnya sgt marvelous, so marilah yakin dengan Dempo Snow!

Ni baru rahsia kecantikkan (kononnya) part 1 tau, nanti rajin aku tulis beauty secret lain2 plak.

Kerawangs

My mum is so addicted to buy tudung berfesyen ala2 Ekin gitu. Senang dibawa travel mahupun dipakai untuk tujuan lasak2 katanya. Wah macam selalu je travel. Heran aku, tiap kali nak travel kena beli tudung baru and baju baru. Pas balik travel shopping lagi. *pening kepala*

As I noticed there are so many types of tudung with different range of price. Nak kawasan beraircond dan selesa skit, pergi ke Ariani atau Hajaba, kalau tak kat Jalan TAR banyak je kan. So one fine day, my mum minta chaffeur-driven dia ke Hajaba. Kali ni bawak geng. Auntie S namanya. FYI, Auntie S and husband will join mama and abah's trip to GuangZhou today. Kire shopping sebelum gi la ni. Best gak kuar dgn level makcik2 ni, boleh dgr gossip2 semasa.

Sesi try menerai, gua pun jadi model beb. Jangan tanya bila nak pakai betul2 ye, tolong doa2kan je la masa tu tiba k :) So mama and Auntie S was trying tudung that follow the head and face shape and it really look nice without worrying the tudung will senget benget. In material wise, of course Ariani and Hajaba is more lighter & comfortable to wear. The price range for this kind of tudung (RM75-RM95).

Mama beli 3 helai tudung, Auntie S lagi dasyat, borong 8 helai and 1 jubah. *tepuk dahi*. Lepas tu masa otw balik, tak henti2 ckp "lepas ni auntie tak shopping dah kat guangzhou".

Ye la auntie, SAYA PERCAYA SGT2 :))

Btw, look what she gave me. Ni yg membuatkan dia sebagai auntie (kategori jiran) kesayanganku.

Sebagai balasan menchaffeur driven, auntie S gave me this sulam-kerawang-silky-blouse she bought in Jakarta. Stunning blouse, but way too big for me, baggy and shapeless, unfortunately. Ini size mama dah ni. Saje kasi fesyen ala2 muslimah skit kot. Tapi kat tempat kerawang tu jarang, harus pakai inner.

*nangis jap*

Massive alteration need to be done. Mau harga selai baju kosnya. Or ada sesiapa berminat?? I rarely wear baju kerawang2 ni, apatah lagi kerusi kerawang2 hehe. Kalau pakai salah macam salah konsep je.

p/s I know, concept2 ni adik gua sure minat.

Body Shop Sale

Ye seperti yang dispeku abang and SIL no. 2, memang I akan blog pasal ni :D

Kan Body Shop tengah sale gila babs kan, sumpah aku tatau ada sale kat Body Shop kalau dorang tak bagitau. Katak bawah tempurung sungguh. Maklumlah tengah panas2 + husband takde ni ni jarang sangat aku kuar menyopping (sebenarnya duit takde).

So I managed to buy myself silly in Body Shop @ Giant KJ. Don’t you just love the adrenaline rush induced by shopping? Best woo, walaupun dalam hati duk mengira2 gak takut tak cukup duit.

Ni ni adalah hasil rembatan:

Cosmetic beg with travel size mascara, mango body butter, vitamin E moisturiser, body gel, and body wash, NP180, after 70%+10% =RM 48.60. Wa cakap lu, MEMANG BERBALOI. Walaupun lepas beli tu terngiang2 di kepala otakku watper aku nak collect cosmetic bag ni banyak2? Kat umah dah ada 2. Tapi takpe. Murah punya pasal.

400ml Oceanus Shower Gel, after 30% + 10% = 30.87. Murah la tu. Before this I don’t have the heart to buy Body Shop shower gels because they’re quite expensive. Aku pakai Baby Johnson je biasanya. Lepas beli Shower Gel, aku terus try. My opinion (which may differ from you): It has strong smell in the shower gel tapi baunya takde la melekat on the skin which is a pity because I rather like the smell on the skin. It does however, leave the bathroom smelling really good. Bilik mandi lagi mandi dari aku.

Rectangular Blusher Brush, after 10% + 10% = 52.65. Reason for buying : Tak pernah ada proper brush. Selama ni pakai je brush given or pakai jari je. Lepas ni kena pakai blusher la kan, baru berbaloi. Aku tak kerja ni malas skit nak makeup. Kai lipgloss je biasanya.

Lipstick, after 10% =35.00. Tak byk discout sangat. I probably have a few of different brands of lipstick, the whole range of prices, but usually the same range of shades! This time, again I bought the same shade. Dah tu je aku minat. But I really need to buy new lipstick sebab yang lama dah sgt lama dan tidak sesuai lagi dipakai.

Okla, kamu2 sila la serang bodyshop berdekatan kalau sempat. Sale is from 22 May - 15 June. Only from 22 -24 May, bodyshop member can get additional 10% discount! Tapi most of the great deal nearly finish. SIL no. 2 dah borong habis hahaha. Dia kan duta body shop ;)

Bye2 :)

Happy Birthday Mama

My mum is enjoying 37 again (well why not?). It's my mother's 57th birthday! Tapi mama tetap nampak muda dan kemana tumpahnya kuah kalau tak ke nasinya, saya mewarisi ini dari mama :) (nak jugak up diri sendri tu)

Saya sentiasa mendoakan kesihatan dan kesejahteraan mama. I love you so much walaupun saya bukan jenis peluk cium sepanjang masa. Mama, I know I am not really good at expressing my feeling, but all I want you to know is I hope you are as proud of me as I'm of you. You've taught me from right to wrong and I dont think I ever told you how greatfull I am. Without you I'd be lost, tak tau macam mana nak teruskan kehidupan tanpa mama sebab tak pernah berpisah, kecuali masa masuk asrama form 1-3. Dah kawin pun duduk dengan mama lagi. Mama, I know you are not aware of this blog (pls don't let her know), but andai ditakdirkan anak mama ni pergi dulu, someone please show this entry to her ye? I hope mama realize just how much I Lovve her.

Selemah kita rasa, nasihat mahupun bebelan dari ibu pun dah cukup nak mengubat segalanya. Thanks mama for being there. Obviously for bringing me in this world, and of course for accepting everything about me as I am, walaupon aku ni semulajadinya sangat degil dan suka melawan. Dengan mama aku kurang melawan mungkin sebab mama sangat sensitive, dengan abah aku banyak melawan. Sorry abah, I love you tooo.

Birthday dinner @ Bora Asmara yesterday, all of us (xcept adik bongsu di UK and my husband in Saudi). Birthday dinner ditaja abang no. 1 dan mother's day lunch @ Rebung ditaja abang no. 2)

Nak pic lain2 mintak abang no. 1. Tak kuasa nak upload banyak2. Bukan ada muka aku, wahhhhh.

Love you heaps, Mama. Hope you had a happy birthday. This pouch is for my mum. My mom loves designer bags (who doesn't?), tapi saya adalah kurang mampu beli gabak2. Yang ni pun beli online je, tak mahal sangat. Hope mama likes it.

I bought this from here and asked them to deliver to my house, the one yang belum saya pindah. The reason being was so that I could suprised my mum. Kalau sampai rumah, for sure abah or mama yang akan keluar collect the barang sent, coz I'm usually not at home or if I am, saya tak dengar. So on Tuesday aku collect la from rumah sana, and on my way back to KJ aku lalu lah dekat Maybank Damansara Jaya. And decided to change my ATM card there, macam tak sempat2 nak ke Maybank KJ. That's how it all begin tragedi cubaan disamun.

Masa tu aku terpikir, ko nak amik duit pun amik la, jangan la amik pouch for mama. Aku letak pouch mama atas seat co driver. And andai kata aku diapa2 kan time tu, tak sempatlah aku celebrate birthday mama and let her know how much she means to me. Syukur semuanya selamat, paling syukur nyawa aku selamat.

Takdela nak emosi bagai, cuma aku sangat bersyukur aku selamat :) Mama lah yang suruh aku buat sujud syukur lepas kejadian tu. Thanks for reading, have a nice day!

Caun it's your birthday too today kan? Happy birthday, cepat2 skit kawin!

Siapa try nak merompak tu memang s**l, dasar slick easy-money people!

Tajuk kena panjang skit. I have shocking experience yesterday, at 3.10 pm. First time in my life.

I experienced an attempted robbery while I was in my car, alone! Masa tu aku baru keluar dari Maybank Damansara Jaya. I don't know why, of all places aku pergi situ. Buang tebiat agaknya, sebab selalunya aku pergi Maybank kat KJ punya. Masa tu aku tengah nak start engine, tetiba ada 2 ekor motorcylist park sebelah kereta (belah co-driver). Aku dah cuak time tu, rasa tak sedap hati sesangat and terus cepat2 nak tukar gear reverse. But to my shock, the second motorcyclist started smashing the co driver seat window with a helmet. The glass shatered sebab takde film.

I screamed my lungs out, 2 ekor mamat indon (mungkin jugak melayu) tu terus cabut lari without taking anything sebab handbag aku letak sebelah seat aku, kat celah2 pintu tu. Memang aku syak itulah yang dia target pun sebab aku time tu baru keluar dari bank. Kononnya bawak duit beribu2 lemon padahal aku gi tukar ATM card aku to Maybank Visa Debit card je. Syukur, but I did not had any injury due to the glass yang terpercik kena aku, tapi trauma tetap trauma beb.

Bila aku jerit, aku perasan ada one chinese couple depan aku ni dalam kereta dorang. Tapi dorang buat derk je. Mungkin kalau aku dalam situasi dorang pun buat camtu kot. Bahaya kan. Lepas jerit2 lagi mintak tolong, walaupun time tu penyamun tu dah blah, pak guard maybank and ada la few orang2 melayu lari ke arah kereta aku. Tanya keadaan. Thanks for the concern. Ni la namanya masyarakat prihatin. Ada la sorang mamat tu suh aku lepak dalam maybank dulu, and time tu la aku call abah suruh amik aku disitu.

Then, I called my 1st brother informing him about this, terus dia balik umah and bawak aku gi balai polis buat report. Lepas buat report belanja aku makan cendol dekat FAM bagi menenangkan fikiran kononnya. Mekasih.

p/s nasib baik bukan keter aku, kete mak. Sorry mama, malang tidak berbau.

The cases of road robberies (or segala macam jenis robbery especially ragut) are getting worse and we need to be watchful wherever we go, in fact at any time of the day. Ingatlah pesananku ini kawan2. Kalau dah kena macam aku ni baru tau macam mana. Selama ni duk baca je kat paper. Kes pecah umah, kes ragut makin banyak, sampai ada membawa ke kematian. Kesian sangat. Aku syukur sangat masa aku jerit tu penyamun tu tak hunus pisau ke pistol ke kat aku. Tak pun dia try nak kidnap aku ke mintak tebusan. Nauzubillah.

Beringat sebelum terkena. Aku adalah trauma nak keluar sorang2 sekarang. Tak keluar pun takpe. Ingat best ke kena keluar time panas2 ni?

Hairstyle

Sudah sudah, AF dah habis. Tahniah Aril. Sekarang masa untuk cerita tentang diri sendri je.

I am naturally born with straight hair, although I like the hairstyle very much, but sometimes it just too boring to have the same hairstyle for like my entire life. I have been keeping a long hair since I am 23 years old. Masa kecik punya hairtstyle, standard la pendek atas bahu and ada fringe paras kening. Nak happening skit, rambut fesyen tempurung la. Sumpah aku takkan buat dah fesyen camni.

Anyway, I am very happy I finally could make my own decision (buat dulu baru tunjuk kat parents) on how to do with my hair at the age of 18. I had coloured my hair 3 times with 3 different colour tapi kaler seakan2 sama je, aku pun tak ingat dah kaler apa, tapi serious weh ada sekali masa aku pergi visit abang aku kat US, orang sana ingat aku mexican. Kata aku mexican tu tak berapa sedap sangat la sebab mexican yang bekerja di US tu biasa kerja as a maid, cleaner etc kan tapi takpe aku anggap aku mexican high class la yang lahir di US. Tetiba feeling ala2 Jennifer Lopez ok masa tu.

Oi perasan! *tampar diri sendri*

Actually sebab apa tau, kulit agak tan masa tu, rambut karat tapi takde la karat sangat. Dah dah zaman tu dah berlalu. Mati aku kena sembelih kaler rambut lagi.

I also permed my hair before, konon2 nak buat fesyen baru selepas kahwin, tapi fesyen ni sungguh hazab untuk aku kerana tiada kerajinan untuk bangun extra 30 min awal untuk style kan rambut itu. Ingat aku takde kerja lain ke? Fesyen ni hanya bertahan 3 minggu je. I'm keeping my hair straight sahaja sampai skarang. Senang citer. Guna jari pun boleh.

I always know that I need to try something new. Many people have told me that a shorter cut would fit me well and I believe them. So just now I went to the saloon that I normally go, konon2 nak buat something new but ended asking them to trim my hair. Trim 3 inches je plak tu. Sungguh pengecut. Of course, it looks EXACTLY THE SAME as it always has.

Well, I’ve always been a little afraid of change, particularly with regards to my hair, so it might take a while before I dare chop it short. This is probably because I’m always a fan of people chopping their hair (unless they’re seriously not the kind who can wear short hair) because it’s fast, easy, and always makes you appear like you have a little style, but, NOT FOR ME. No style pun no style lah.

So any chances to change hairstyle without perm, colour and cutting it short?

Double yeay!

Siapa tengok final AF7 tadi? *sambil angkat tangan* Watched AF7 with my mum and dad. My mum and dad was rooting for Isma. Sokong senyap2 takleh ke? Bising ok heheh.

I've been hoping that Aril would be the winner tapi no. 2 pun ok la. Hafiz deserved it. At least, if Aril jadi juara sure nanti orang tuduh dia jadi juara terancang, kan kan? So dalam sejarah, ni la kali pertama saya vote. I voted for him 3 times! AFUNDI10 ok hahah. Tanpa undi saya mungkin Aril no.3 hehe. Brainyfaida, saya tau awak undi Aril ni.

I actually voted whoever I thought deserve my votes. Sebelum ni saya memang sokong Jaclyn Victor in Malaysian Idol, Zahid in AF2, Mawi in AF3, Stacy AF6 and Tomok in OIAM3 tapi tak pernah vote pun. Sokong air liur namanya tu.

Ok la second yeay, my brother got his new car today. Saya dah ngantuk, so tengok gambar sahaja ye. Good nite.

p/s selepas beberapa jam, kereta baru telah digunapakai dan telah kotor kena hujan. Selamat menjalankan tugas wahai kerata.

Abang no. 2, jangan marah aa. I read this somewhere " DON''T GET OFFENDED BUT THE CURRENT SANTA FE LOOKS LIKE A FAT WILD RHINO ON WHEELS. I quote this passage from a Australian Wheel magazine. " kejam nya.

Tapi ada iras2 jugak la sebenarnya. *lariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*
