Umma Gangnam Style

Oppa Gangnam Style is the way today and sometimes, I could not comprehend what is this Gangnam commotion about. Bila dengar 'Oppaa Gangnam Style tet tet tet tet'.... *groan* This song is so overplayed everywhere everytime. But then again, it's the dance moves, not the song. Could be the catchy beat too.

But only one gangnam style caught my attention. 

It's Umma (Mom)Gangnam Style.

Son and mom came up with cool moves for the gangnam style and Ellen Degeneres invite them over to her studio. The mom is 60 years old and she still has it babe! Lucky son as he gets to do this together with his mom. 

The rest of Gangnam videos can go fly kites. 

I only like this Gangnam. Way to go Mom!

Hair Loss

I'm old. Well, that's how I'm feeling now. 


And it's because of this problem. HAIR LOSS.

Seriously, I didn't know when this problem start. 3 years ago, my hair was  thick and it was still in shape. Though at that time, my hair was like penyapu; unruly, coarse and dry, but I still feel that... I have hair. 

Now? Not anymore.

Everyday there will be a bunch of hair clogging my toilet drain right after I wash my hair. There will be a bunch stuck between my hair brush. There will be strands of hair in my fooddd...and where did THAT come from? Disgusting right?

SIGH.

Yes my dear, I'm suffering a great deal of hair loss and it's taking a toll on me. 

Hence for that, I began looking for solution. And I found this:

I've been using this for a month plus now and I can feel that my hair is starting to grow. This product is actually chemical free and it uses ONLY natural essences derived from mother nature. All products contains pure natural thermal Spa water enriched with some organic botanical ingredients blended with luxurious essential oil. That's what what they claim la. Which I believe as it does wonders to my scalp and hair. 

Oh hair how I miss you. I do not want to be bald right by the time of my wedding.

Mom: Itu menunjukkan you dah kena pakai hijab.

Ooopss Mom.

Try it. Carlton Hair Amino Hair and Scalp Tonic - RM 192. Bought this at Shins.

What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

So, what are you doing New Years eve?

It's the last day of 2011!

Well Wishes for 26

Terima kasih daun keladi kerana menge-wish saya happy birthday.

For this year,I'm not expecting anything from anyone, even from my parents. Usually, weeks before birthdays, sisters will ask me in private on the things that I want and they would tell the dad, and dad would get it for me. Same goes to my other sisters. But for this year, I said to myself, those are materials and I think, as a 26 years old girl (cehceh gegirl lagi tu), and soon to be married (Insya Allah), enough with daddy's gift. Instead of asking and bearing gifts from them, why not do something beneficial or fruitful, like creating a business project that I may be interested in? 

Dad, you can provide me with some capital. *grins*

Aku memamg cakap tak serupa bikin. 

But dad, janji akan kasi balik capital tu when untung sudah dapat.

Yelah tu.

But belom cuba belom tahu kan?

Amin.

Thank you friends for the well wishes. God bless.

Let Go, Push Away

Towards the end of 2010, I faced a whirlwind trauma friendship drama with some people whom I used to be really good friends with, but now, we are not anymore. How do I deal with it? How do I feel about it then and now?

I was hurt. Obviously I was. They were my friends. Good friends pulak tu. But I seriously am not sure what went wrong, the whole 'we're-buddies-I-love-you' kinda thing went down the drain. All these happened because of the lack of ability in controlling emotions and to think rationally. I believe so. We are adults right, why can't talk like adults? If one is scared of confronting, there are always emails right? Why must we use FB in portraying your dissatisfaction and hatred? Your emotional outburst in public, is it really worth it?

 

So, to cut the story short, I learnt a lot from this. At first, I was so angry and I will blame everybody. I still do though, but I'm letting it go now. Not being the best friend that I used to be to them, but accepting the fact that we're no longer 'friends' that we used to be and things won't be the same anymore. Why this happened? Waallahualam, I don't have the answer for it. Blaming others won't do justice, blaming diri sendiri pulak unfair? Nay? Mungkin ini semua ada hikmah nye tersendiri. Remember that God has determined everything that was/were/going to happened in our lives.

 

A wise friend of mine used to remind me this whenever dugaan-dugaan kecil ini berlaku:

1) We can't force people to be friends with us. We can't make people love us all the time. That makes us human. 

2) What can we gain by not being their friends? Are they the ones who gave you shelter, food and money? Or even jobs? So, what do you have to lose? Nothing right?

3) Sabar. Ini benda kecil aja.

 

It's true right?

So, let go. Stop analyzing. Stop complaining. Life is short for this. There's more to life than bickering with people who is not worth your time, so why sweat over it?

Self reminder that is.

Kate - Catherine of Cambridge

Did any of you watched the Royal Wedding? 

Ok, stupid question kan? Of course you all did! *slaps forehead*

To me, the highlights of the wedding were:

1. Kate Middleton, which are now to be called Princess William; Duchess of Cambridge

2. The Dress

Nothing else except Kate and her dress(es). Mainly it's because the wedding is solely a typical royal wedding where the guests are pretty much the same people from the royal family, ministers, celebrities and many more people 'up there'. But I was excited to see Sultan Mizan's little face from the crowd. Ahaha.

Anyhow, Kate Middleton is a stunning lady. She's the epitome of 'less is more', as been said. She doesn't overdo, elegant and she got a class of her own. Her silent voice when she said her vows reveals her personality, which make her suitable to be one of the members of the royal family and most importantly, The Queen when William holds the throne.

She's simple and that really portrays her humble being. I got to know that she did her own make-up for her wedding because as according to some websites that I read, she wants to at least keep some 'normalcy' in her life. I think that is just awesome. A lot of people that I know would hire professional make-up artist for weddings, because first, they don't know how to use cosmetics  the correct way (like me!) and second, they would want to look   different and stand out from the crowd since it's their BIG DAY kan? But this young lady is more comfortable to do her own. Check her out man.

And the dress. I bet brides- to- be out there are re-thinking of their own dress. I would if I'm them too. Maybe not the whole style, but the concept of simple and elegant is just breathtakingly beautiful. I know I know, 'breathtakingly beautiful' is just so overrated (everyone has been saying that lately this week after the Royal Wedding), but that phrase is just for Kate. 

Kuddos to Sarah Burton! I've never heard of her but she certainly did a great job (clearly it's because I never follow any fashion news). Lepas ni lagi meletop la Sarah Burton ni ye tak?

Catherine Middleton is the Princess Diana today. As suspected, the reason Prince William chose Kate to be his wife, because she can offer him normalcy in his life like what his late mother had been wanting for himself and Harry. Kate gave him a sense of fresh air and also she reminds him of his beloved late mother. Apart from that, it looked like Kate is loved by the members of the Royal Family especially the Queen. I guess that's pretty important isn't it? 

May they live happily ever after.

Decluttering

I need to re-organize my life. Therefore, the action of deactivation my FB. No no, it's not what you think it is..I am not merajuk or running away from people and such, I just need and want to breathe. Sometimes FB is really 'loud' and I would imagine myself putting both hands on my ears whenever I logged in to my FB. 

Seriously, it's not the FB or the people in FB at fault. It is just ME. 

I just need to get away for a while. 

To think, chill and relax. Muhasabah diri perhaps?

We need to do this once in while right?

Declutter declutter declutter.

I'll be back soon!

Khurafat

Hello Horror flick lover, please watch Khurafat. To me, it's super scary and the story line is not that bad. If you have watched Mantra and Santau, you will like this film as well, or maybe more. Watched it yesterday with Mr.Z, sempena cuti Thaipusam, and I had a fun time watching Khurafat with a horror flick addict like himself. 

Let me put in a nutshell on the synopsis of Khurafat. It begins with Syamsul Yusof (as Johan), a young fella working as a medical assistant in a public hospital in Kuala Lumpur. He's married to Liyana Jasmay (as Aisha) and both of them lead a peaceful life  being married until strange things began to haunt them. Adding to this mystery are the presences of an elderly strange makcik who works in the same hospital as Johan and Ana (played by Sabrina Ali) who is Johan's ex-girlfriend who is depressed over their breakup  attempted to ruin Johan and Aisha's marriage. As for the rest, you just have to watch yourself.

Khurafat is actually a superstitious and supernatural belief fabricated according to the acts and natural events that occur, which is strongly forbidden in Islam.

This is certainly a great job by Syamsul Yusof, which I heard that this is his first ever  horror movie directed by him. When it comes to the suspence scenes, I actually felt it, bulu semua naik dowh. Maybe some of the actors and actresses need to improve on their acting, certainly not Liyana Jasmay and Fauziah Nawi, as they are already fine in that area. So, it can be concluded that this film are worth watching in the cinema and soon I bet it will be in Astro First. LOL. Anyway, let's support our film industries, you might never know, they are better than any Super-lywood. This is better than 'The Tourist', obviously. Yawn.

Rating: 4/5

Hupdates!

Hey everyone! It's been a while I know, but right now, there are so many things on my plate and the internet connection in my house kinda suck, so it's really hard for me to update my blog regularly like before. But I have lots and lots to share, mainly on:

1. My trip to Rome with good friend Sheena and her mommy.

2. My trip to Istanbul with housemates Dalia and Zanif as well as my sister's beloved Fizan.

3. The process of packing and shipping off all my junks back in Birmingham.

4. My graduation ceremony!

5. My boxing day experience in London with good friends Dils, Leen and Amz 

and many more laaa. Aku semangat ni nak tulis!

Anyway, many peers are getting married this year and no, I'm not pressured or anything, in fact, I am inspired and are also thinking of heading that way. But, no work no money NO TALK ok?

So far, 2011 has been great. Positive energy, new ideas, new friends and MORE quality ones. I really need to pilih bulu on who I want to be friends with starting from today la as I had enough of dramarama that was around me in 2010. Good riddance! 

Happy Friday EVE! Ahahaha!

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ACTUALLY AT HOME!

This is a Man's World

Starting from today, I'll be in full marathon settling errands and such. 

- Need to look for ropes and net for shipping. Don't ask me why..

- Pay and canceling off all bills contracts with Vodafon, Virgin Media, British Gas and Seven Trent Water Supply. Thank God they were really helpful.

- Cancel off Tracker Network. Haven't done that yet.

- Meeting with landlord. Dreadingggg...

- Arranged with the shipping/container/cargo company. Progressing..

- Look for Dad's stuff for the car. Looking..

- Find new tenants to replace Sheena and I. 

- Find new hand luggage. The one that I always use is broken.

- Packing and labeling. 

- Packing and labeling.

- Cari baju and kasut convo. Tak sudah-sudah... ;(

- Packing and labeling.

- Tukar duit..

So so penat. I'll be leaving the country in less than 25 days and I need to ship all of my things (including Iqa's) in 10 days. I hope I can make it.

All stressed out but I'm excited at the same time. 

There are days when I just feel sad as well. Like yesterday, when I was watching the X-Factor and I thought to myself that this could be my last! Ceh..emp pop pulak.. I know it's pathetic, but if you are in my shoes, you'll probably feel the same way too.

Talking about X-Factor, I felt that Cher did really well yesterday. Thought she's actually cocky but she got that 'star' package. Thank God she was qualified for finals, though I am bit sad for Mary, because she can actually sing! 

But my favourite is still.. Rabecca Ferguson. Trust me, she'll win next week!

Mary Byrne ' This is a Man's World'

Just Another Day

November November November. I can't believe we're at the end of year 2010 and soon without realizing, it will be 2011. How time flies so fast. 2011 - I'll be 26 years old. 4 years after that, I'll be 30! And may target is, at least I have 2 kids by then! Need to get moving yaww! I've been so lazy updating my blog nowadays, it could be because of the cold, and all I wanted to do is to just curled up in my duvet, watch tv series/film or finish up all of my romance novel. Kur kur toinggg!

My graduation ceremony will be on the 15th of December 2010 and Alhamdulillah, I am proud to say that I have obtained my MA. The degree that I was in pain for a year, the degree that my parents invested their money on and the degree that I was dreaming for even before I finished my undergrad years. Alhamdulillah syukur.

Salam Aidiladha everyone. Enjoy the beef rendang, oxtail soup, etc. Eat well.

Merdeka Malaysia My Love

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Proudly presenting 2010 Petronas ad on National Day

On this day, I can't help but think of how unique Malaysia is as a country and I am reminded of the beautiful commercials that the late Yasmin Ahmad created for Petronas in conjunction with merdeka. But with the passing of her last year, I guess this is dedicated to her as this ad has resemblances of hers of previous years.
