Life lately... according to my Instigram

Happy Friday everyone! Have a good one!

Hen Dinner with the PB Ladies

I had one final hen dinner with my PB girls over Iftar and such a surprise it was. Nadia Suhaimi texted me saying " Eh we need to have one buka puasa laa with everyone. Let's meet up jom jom." 

At that time, I was already busy running around for my wedding errands and thought I'll be rushing for the Iftar macam tak sempat je and pulak they chose Delicious and you know lah with the desserts and all kan as I was supposed to be on a strict diet. 14 days to go kot!

But for my PB ladies sake, I thought to myself, WHY NOT? They've been there for me throughout my PB journey and not forgetting THAT PB income has helped me A LOT for my wedding which I am grateful for until today. Seriously amat bersyukur. Alhamdulillah.

We ate and chatted, whined and complained about work, Nadia gave us some of her words of wisdom and semangat (cewah!) as she just got her highest achievement of being a CDM! Giler minah tuuu now bonus dah 5 figures ok! I'm just so inspired and very very proud of her!

Soon after desserts (see I told you I can't TAHAN a good dessert!), the girls took out a paper bag and had us wore a tiara. Oh us means, Natasha and I. Natasha another PB lady who is also getting married a month after me. We were a bit puzzled and macam what's going on and all..la rupanya depa ni buat mini bachelorette dinner ke. So sweeet! Too kind of them to do this for us! Disebabkan bulan puasa yang mulia ini, so tidak la kami main games bukan-bukan ye. It was just simple but sweet. Love it girls!

And I love the gift please! Mr. Z loves it too. Ahahaha.

Thank you so much ladies. I'm so glad PB happened and YOU GUYS too!

Strangers to friends that was bond over PB

Sama-sama

This entry is long overdue, I've been meaning to blog it months ago but have been keeping it off because I was waiting for the photos from the girls.

I'm so blessed to have known these people, for I have known them for quite some time (nearly to 10 years perhaps?), and even some I have lived with for 2 years or so. 

Despite the differences that we've had, the distances from each other and hectic life that we are leading, it's not that often that we see each other as how we should. Some tak jumpa langsung.. i think more than a year, only see them on FB.

Anyway, the best part of throwing parties is that we can gather everyone together and have a good time. In conjunction of me ending my singlehood days, my TESL girlfriends decided to throw one hell of bachelorette party and being surrounded by teachers and lecturers (most of em) and some were once teachers/lecturers, it is one hell of a party siap dengan adanya Master of ceremony, game master, performances and all sorts of contests! Siap ada best dress competition. The theme was diamonds and sequins. Hilarious!

I was excited for the party so I decided to get ready early. Of course you'll be excited when you are being celebrated! Hitched a ride with Azura and Azima, and off we went to One Utama. Before the event started, they sent me away for a massage at Thai Odyssey because they wanted to decorate the place in order to boost up the party ambience. Had my 1 hour massage and off I went to Neway, but when I called them, "Eh belum lagi belum lagi", haish kelakarlah budak-budak ni.

And rupanya guess what they were doing? They were rehearsing a song for me because when I entered the room, Azura was 'Ok, everyone 1 2 3" and the music starts. 

So sweet I want to cry. They performed one of my favourite song by the late Seha, "Mulanya Disini". Siap ada menari tu. 

" Sama-sama menjejak mimpi, sama-sama mencari dan menanti, segalanya direstui cinta sejati, sama-sama gunung didaki, sama-sama turun ke lembah sepi, suka duka bersama dirasai"

:)

The rest came after and we started playing games. I felt like peeing the whole time as the girls were hilarious! Screamed, shrieked, laughed, screamed, shrieked, laughed. We had Falliq as the master of ceremony and it's quite fun to see him do what he does best.

We sang, we played games, we sang again the whole night long. I nearly choked up when I sang a favourite song of mine by Nora, "Hanya Satu", which I did not at all think about Mr. Z, but at that moment I felt that it could be the 'hanya satu' moment that I spend with these girls. With our busy schedule, long distances and yada yada, it's just hard to find time to actually gather like this again.

Gah. That's just our friendship dynamic. Sigh.

Anyhow, all in all, the 5 hours I spent with them were tremendously worth it and fun, and it actually made my whole day. In fact, I was smiling and talking about it the whole week.

Girls (Sheena, Zura, Ima, Ikhlas, Qilah, Deera, Wena as well as Faliq), if any of you reading this, thank u so so much for taking time to do this for me. Appreciate every little effort, energy and creativity that you guys put into this. More of this soon ya? Wedding siapa pulak yaaa?

Ggggrr 'Diva'licious Night

Another fun night with great girlfriends over scrumptious Italian meal, enjoying a live band serenading us with ballads and jazz numbers over coffee and followed by pillow talk until dawn. Relaxxxxx. 
Topics we talked about will remained within that four walls of the hotel room. Ahaha

But, we had a discussion (sort of!) of a book that we are currently obsessed about; clue: Audi and Boston. Perfect timing kan. The best way to share our sentiments about what we read and know over pillows and duvets with your close girlfriends. Meroyan sekor-sekor.

Thanks girls!

Dinner at the finest Italian restaurant in KL. Pavola. Yummy food, too delicious. Fully recommended to everyone especially those who favor authentic Italian cuisine. Thanks to Zehan for this! (Remember your 'Yalee yalee night!')

One for the memories! 

Hey girls (Deena, Zehan and Bella), thank you so much for a great night out (or in!) and looking forward to many more of these; hangouts, dinners, sleepovers and great friendship in years to come. Can't believe it is close to 10 years we've known each other and insya Allah, another 70 years?
