Hello! Mabuhay to Serendipity and annyeonghaseyo! Please excuse myself being corny because I recently just came back from Boracay (in November) and South Korea (just last week!). Before I reveal more about the trips let me tell you how menyusahkan it is for me to search for things to wear.

For one, the trips are so close to one another but the climate is so very different. Macam langit dengan bumi. Well, almost. Boracay was a beach holiday - which meant I needed a swimsuit that covers myself to replace my old one (eventhough I wont be swimming since I just had ear surgery - another post, another time). And also I need to think about what to wear that will not be revealing but still comfortable to wear at the beach.

Went to Sports Direct Subang with Nana the weekend before the trip and found some options. But I came back with a beach bag instead. Its vibrant and pretty and it came with its own beach mat! See how easy for me to get distracted? Eventually I managed to find a swimsuit in Boracay which I paired with my batik tights. It cost me only RM40. Happeyh!

That search was still okay compared to my search for coats to prepare myself for the below 0 Celsius in Korea. Living in Malaysia all my life meant no winter clothing whatsoever. Sure I have some outerwear. But I always opt for those made of chiffon / light material since layering myself will only make me sweat in the hot weather.

My search for coats was considered done since Nana's mum rent winter clothing to people. I went to her place, picked them up, tried them on and then decided I want something else. Mainly because most of the items are either too big, a bit tight, or it wont match what I already have. So I went out looking...searching and sweating in the stores while looking for the right one. I settled for this brown one. And the pretty red one loaned from Tangsue, bless her soul.

Seriously, if only there's an easier way to do it. Which there is actually - ZALORA! It would have been perfect for my time constraint too since they deliver within 3 days. Whuaiii didn't I even think about it??  And their options are quite extensive too! I see some printed jackets that I like now, And a blazer for work! And ooohhh that sequin bolero would be perfect for my upcoming Christmas party. OK, I'm off shopping. Anyone going to winter wonderland soon? You might want to shop coats online for women from them too.

Hi! Sengaja delay in writing about this because I was waiting for the final shower of the year to be done first. Back in May, we had a bachelorette night for Lily and Erin planned by the two Timah who are preggos - Nora and Shara. I only brought myself, yay! (and goodie packs because I'm just like that. Sukar melepaskan  kuasa, tapi bukan gila kuasa) 

Shara chose a really pretty place for the dinner, Flora Terrace at Hampshire Place. Its so pretty and fairy-like, we all became prim and proper there. It was funny because halfway we were all asking each other "Why are we all quiet? This place makes us hush!" 

Naturally, it was just dinner and 5 chatty girls talking about their upcoming weddings, and 2 moms-to-be sharing pregnancy joy. And then there was one girl in red, sitting at the corner swiping her phone away.
Me.

And not two weeks ago, we had another hen night for 2 more Timah who have decided they want to start next year as a wife. This time, I opted for a spa day for Timah and of course the brides - Kecik and Phia! We also had a new member joining us. The first Timah baby - Nora's Naurah El Sofia!

The brides to be!

 

The place is a nail parlour in Wangsa Melawati, Gossiproom. We love the place, so pretty and spacious and it has a cafe! Which is perfect for us. Lepas habis mani pedi terus pergi makan. And the deco was nice too. People were warm, nice service. Love our first experience for a bridal spa together.

FYI, we now have 7 married Timahs, 2 of them are already mothers (Nora and Shara), Ya is about to pop, Lily and Erin who got married in June are both 7 weeks pregnant, Kecik got married last weekend, Phia next in November and Sara will have her wedding in January 2015.

4 of us left. 2 attached, 2 hopeless cases.

OK. Belanja gambar wedding Kecik satu.

When I first started work, I had bad sense of dressing. It was that transition from the carefree college girl to a corporate woman. But actually inside, (even now) Im just a tomboy in my own comfortable skin.

My dad, saw this as an alarming sign. So one night during our usual supper date he told me "each month, keep aside some money for you to buy clothes. Allocate some for your wardrobe. You need to dress better". I didn't had enough then. So there wasn't much for me to work on.

Now, I gotta say Alhamdulillah. I may not be drop dead gorgeous but can laaaa hide that tomboy when needed. Thank you for your advice Abah! But I didn't know that I will be (almost) addicted to buying things I look pretty in. Girls..

Disclaimer: this post appeared to sooth my guilt for impulsively purchasing a super cantik pants that I dont actually need but totally have fallen in love with.

Good morning! Its 2.20 am right now. And I would like to have a quick update on everything that went on between my demise from last job and my first week at MES. Went for the interview on Thursday 17th Jan, and all is good. Except that I had a really bad cirs birs on the morning but managed to keep my cool and be all bubbly. They didn't offer me almost immediately like the previous job, but I had a good feeling.

So I continued my day by going to Melaka with Mokmok to pick up a friend and by the evening, the director of marketing contacted me and said "the job is yours! Do you accept?"

HELL YEAH!

And they want me to start in 2 weeks time. 4th of Feb. Which is cool. I get 2 weeks of holiday :)
The next day, the GM pulak called me up and asked if I accept the job. Heeeee I feel so wanted.
So for 2 weeks, I laze around and spent a lot of my time with Milly, and gained access to a few events and rubbed shoulders with some notable people . (I shall rearrange picture once I log in through the PC. Blogging via my Galaxy Ace je ni).

On my first day, the GM welcomed me by saying "Welcome to the rest of your life" and I felt...hopeful. I do wish I can be happy and will continue working at MES.

1 week is gone now. So far so good. Love the fact that our team is multiracial. We have a gwai-lo (I dunno how they spell it but that's how they say it. It refers to Mat Salleh), a Cindian, an Indian, a Punjabi, Chinese, a Bumiputra, Malays (of course) and a me. I am sometimes Chinese/Malay/Bugis/Indonesian/Korean, depending on my mood. Love the lunchtime with them. Our table is always the loudest and very 1Malaysia.

The only downside of working at MES is the super narrow parking space that made me scratch my car twice. Hmph.

And oh yeah, I was hit on my way to work the other day. Habis bumper depan. Kesian my Wish. Kesian duit gaji pertama from MES.

Guess who's back?

Back again.

Hani's back! Tell your friends!

My FYP is overrrrrrrrrrrrr! Now we are all busy raking our brains to finish our report and individual assignment due 5th May. Our last event STRIP: The Final Call went well, Alhamdulillah. I was so busy being nervous trying not to spoil the lighting of the whole event that night. And I managed to go through with all the technical difficulties! With glitches here and there. Bebe and I was sweating and trying to keep our cool in the technical room. Luckily Nicholas came to help us out. Menetes peluh sejuk. Since I was hungry and cranky, of course I did not manage to keep my cool. Thank God they were with me. Kalau orang lain yang annoying I bebel nonstop kot.

The next night we all went for our Rock & Roll Diamond themed Comm night. First prom I ever attended. Since I did not have the time to shop nor the money to get something new, I just wore what I have. My acid wash skinny jeans, plain black top, black cardigan with studs, peacock green satin shawl and black heels. Done!

Food was good, company was great, night was awesome. ADWAVE won a few awards. Us STRIPpers screamed our lungs out when they announced we won Best Teamwork and Best Creative Production. By the time our Deputy Dean announced we won Best Campaign we were all shrieking and running to get on stage! Apparently that's not all we won. We were also recipient for VC List - Persuasive Comm section. Yay for ADWAVE 2012: STRIP!

I didn't feel the sadness yet then because everyone was too busy taking photographs, smiling and laughing with each other. The feelings set once I'm in my room, uploading pictures. I regret not taking enough photographs with important people who matter during my 2 years here. I will definitely miss them. Hope all will be the best in the area they joined.

 

Truth to be told, I've had a hairrific time. Almost always horrific.

I wonder where all these shots come from. And I found it on FB.

Nasib baik it goes as far as 2007 je, I've been worst during school.

Enjoy!

AND THE MOST EPIC OF ALL...

Thank God I decided to cover it.
Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.......NOT!
