TO A FASHION SHOW

.
I am invited to a fashion show by BDA/ MIFW 2011!!


Yes, I'm super excited!! :)
Selama ni, i only heard their names, adore their designs in the magazine, but tonight, is difference!! (mana tau dapat bertentang mata kan..paling best dapat lihat sendiri their latest collections..awww..)

The main reason of this excitation is, one of my friend, Nelissa Hilman is going to debut her first runway collaboration / collection. I am so proud of her!! Her passion and storyline in shoe-making is really really inspiring. I believe Nelissa Hilman Fine Shoes will have a bright future locally and internationally. Amin! :)

But..

At the same time, I feel bit worried on what i'm gonna wear for this show. So far, i only attended something like this once. It was last year for MBMJ 1oth years anniversary party.

Simply me

Full house!

Liyana Jasmay and Juliana evans were there.
They're superbly gorgeous! :)

Terasa comot sungguh i berdiri di sebelahnya.

Suami Nicole Richie

I met with CuteCarry.
Sangat friendly!! :)

This is Ika. Kalau pergi MBMJ cari dia. She's good! :)


The show's about to start.

Presenting the models..

After the show finished

Bolehla kan??. :P

Well, i found 10 top useful tips for what to wear to a fashion show. You need to read them all sebab memang best. Lawak pun yer!! :) I adopt it from here.

The writer says;

Keep it casual. You’re not trying to compete with the ladies up on the runway, so don’t feel you have to wear an outfit worthy of a thousand camera flashes.

Get thee a tailor. Your best kept secret for looking like a million bucks should be a tailor who knows your figure and your wardrobe. Don’t just grab something off the rack and assume it will look amazing. Make sure there aren’t weird pocket bulges or sleeves that are too long before you get to the show.

Save your money. Unless you are a super celebrity with an eight figure salary, there is no reason you should drop an entire month’s rent on a new outfit for the show. Sure – buy a beautiful investment piece that stands out and is re-wearable. But don’t go overboard on designer wear just for this one show.

“I wear my sunglasses…” Put on your best diva pout and wear your big ol’ sunglasses while you’re cabbing it to the show. But…you are not of such elite status that those shades should stay on your face during the duration of the event. Pull them off, let those peepers see everything and remember that those who are trying to stay incognito are just cheating themselves anyway…those fashion shows are always dim as it is!

These shoes were made for sitting. Most of the time, I’m all for functional over fabulous. But honey this is no time for ballet flats. Put those comfy shoes away and realize this is one of the only times your most decadent, beautiful shoes will have a reason to exist besides being beautiful in your closet.

Your best accessory. If you’re new to the fashion scene, then you probably won’t have gobs of people to commiserate with and chat up during the dull points of the show. Bring an equally fabulous and fashionable friend who you can whisper to when a model almost falls down or a particularly heinous creation passes your eye. I bring my Kidd tonight. Hehe.

It’s in the bag. Remember when I said don’t go designer? I didn’t mean your handbag. This is one area where you shouldn’t skimp out with a pleather replica of a popular design. Buy (or borrow) the real thing and wear it with pride.
Basic black is oh so boring. Don’t cheat yourself and fall back on a basic black cocktail dress. All the uber fashionistas around you will see right through this coy “conservative” play. A pop of color never hurt anyone – and you will certainly appreciate the extra boost in confidence once you’re surrounded by the chic elite.

I said sophisticated, not slutty. Put the girls away, pull down that skirt and have some decency. This is not the time to leave all the goods oLinkn the table…you want to exude elegance, not ‘easy’. Anything that might be appropriate for a frat party is not okay for a fashion show.

and the most best part is.... Who are you again? Remember…you’re you. Most people are going to be so focused on snagging a celebrity sighting or their own outfit that they aren’t going to even notice what you’re wearing. Stay calm, have confidence and enjoy yourself instead of worrying so much about stray threads and whether or not your shoes are from last year’s collection.

When i read this, i smiled. It's so true, so why i need to worry much?? ( padahal .. Mel je yang tahu).. hahahaha..

And finally for tonight, i come out with these combination;

Can't wait to put on that shoes. *wink*

Hope they're gonna be ok.
My opinion, It is always better far to be under-dressed than over-dressed. Kan?

OK. I got to go now. Those who're going to the same show tonight, I'll see you there ya! :)

p/s: Dah la tengah Cerry Berry ni. Cepatla baik! Amin.

02.11.2011

.

Today is the most special day for my mother in law. It's her birthday. We called and sang to her The Happy Birthday Song at 12.10am followed by Oman gave his "I beliu (I love you), Nanny" to her as the birthday present.

My mother in law, she is among the kindest person i ever met. She has a very soft heart. She's like an angel to her kids. Never and ever she raised her voice even though We sometimes contribute to the additional numbers on her 'bp reading'. :P

We love to tease her also. Nobody would believe when she said; "Mama garang ok kat sekolah". We all went like, "uuuu.. takutnya".. She was then gave her manja slaps to us. :)

Mama, I pray everyday that you will always be in a good health and wealth fi Dunya wa Akhirah. You're the best example on how i should be when i become a mother in law later.

Amin.

On the other hand.....

Today marked the saddest day for my bibik, who just lost her beloved mother in law this morning. I was driving to office when i received an sms from my hubby who was still at home conveying the sad news.

"Daripada ALLAH dia datang(segala sesuatu ), kepada ALLAH dia akan kembali".

Bibik cried a lot.

She told me that she's gonna be alright but i think she really needed someone to talk to, so i returned back home. Bibik cried again when she saw me at the gate.

Bibik told me a lot about her mother in law. How there were very closed as she was the one who takes care of bibik's children since they were babies. She's 80 years old without any serious illness or health problem. Nobody expected that this morning she breathed her last breath.

Allah itu Maha Mengetahui.

I know Bibik miss her family so much especially at this condition. Reminiscing her memories with her family, Bibik smiled a bit when she told me, "Sewaktu raya, anak bibik sempat belikan batik yang mahal untuk neneknya guna duit gaji bibik Bu".

Ahhh sebak....

Keadaan Bibik buat I insaf and more bersyukur. Teringat when arwak Nenek passed away last year when we were in Singapore, kami beruntung sebab masih punya duit untuk balik terus memberi penghormatan terakhir to Nenek. Masih sempat menguruskan segala persiapan pengkebumian Nenek. Tapi Bibik.....

"Tapi Buk, Bibik rasa Syukur sebab sepanjang Bibik kerja dengan ibuk, udah 3 kali Bibik ngirimin uwang ke kampung", sambung Bibik lagi.

Alhamdulillah.

Bibik, Semoga Allah terus memberi kekuatan untuk Bibik selagi terpaksa berjauhan dengan keluarga demi mencari rezeki. Semoga roh arwah ibu mertua bibik dicucuri rahmat.

Amin

5 DAYS TRAVERSING HONG KONG - FULL DAY TOUR, FREE & EASY

.

That morning, we had the breakfast at a famous Dim Sum Restaurant before we proceed to visit The Repulse Bay.

Located on the south of Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is one of the most magnificent residential areas in Hong Kong. This beautiful bay was turned into a beach resort in the beginning of the last century. In Repulse Bay, there is no Chinese style architecture. Most of the buildings are built in the western style. This area has some of the most expensive property in Hong Kong.

Quoted from China Odyssey Tours; Repulse Bay is similar to Australia's Gold Coast. It is surrounded with luxurious houses, romantic tea houses, first class restaurants, and beautiful people. Along the coast, there is quiet path, which on the weekends is home to the local Flea Market. Repulse Bay is a wonderful way to take a vacation within a vacation. It is easy to get to and hard to leave. In the day visitors can enjoy the beach and sea and in the evening they can watch the magnificent sunset before going shopping at name brand boutiques and eating at first class restaurants.

Confirmla kan tak mampu nak duduk kat sini. Harga rumah mak datuk mahal sungguh!! Million Billion gitu! Antaranya, rumah no. 99 which belongs to Pelakon yang tak asing lagi, Jackie Chan.

When we reached here, pantai dia sunyi damai lagi. I guessed semua orang still dibuai mimpi. Kitorang jer yang segar berjimba-jimba dekat sini. (Tak dapatla nak tengok abang berbadan sasa atau akaq memakai bikini melepak sunbathing di tepi pantai. Eh ade ke? :P)

Never expect that Oman could pose like that. :P

If i pakai inner purple lagi match dengan suasana kan?. :p




Berlatar belakang kan Repulse Bay.

Kejap je Jiba dah ngantuk. Manja ngan Nanny tau dia. :)

Eh, Mane Gpapa ek?

GPapa sungguh comel dengan beg-beg diaper cucu nya. :)

You all ingat tak cerita Oman takut laut? Cam gitu jugakla Oman masa ni. He was not really happy. Nak main-main tepi pantai memang kitorang kene lecture la dengan dia. hihi.


Muka sedih. Heeee.

Tengah cuba suai kenal semula Oman dengan Laut. :)

Babai Repulse Bay! :)

Next, we went to visit Aberdeen Fishing Village. According to our tour guide, inilah the only penempatan nelayan yang masih wujud di HK. Aberdeen is famous for its floating village and giant seafood restaurants. Kat sini, associated with the fishing industry, many of the 'Tanka' people, they still live on the water.


From the jetty, here the visitors will be given the option to ride the boat to the village. We didn't take that option sebab ade budak-budak. Tambahan pulak Jiba was sleeping. So, we chose to just wait for the rest at the jetty.

Xlama before bas sampai Jiba pun bangun.
Comei Cik adik ni!! :)

The next pit-stop was shopping! Tapi anak-anak tak berapa excited sebab shopping Jewellery & Medicine. Hahahaha. Makanya, only mama and abah yang turun dari bas to visit the shops. We all only stayed in the bus waiting for them.
Note 5: Cuba teka pekerjaan apakah yang memperoleh pendapatan paling lumayan di HK? (1) Tukang telek (2) Celebrity. In China and HK, diorang lagi percaya tukang telek dari doktor tau.

After the morning activities, the bus sent us back to the hotel for lunch. We had seafood Nasi Goreng at the Restaurant which located just in front of the hotel. We were then given about 3 hours free and easy activities before our next visit to Victoria Peak.

3 hours tu xlama sangat sebenarnya. We all fulfilled it with jalan-jalan dekat area Kow Loon. Best you all!!! Dekat area ni, baaaaaaaaanyak boutique baju and kasut. Electronics shops pun banyak.

Kitorang berpecah ikut group. Group 1 terdiri dari Mama, Ima and I. Yang lain termasuk Jiba and Oman masuk Group 2. Kat HK memang para suami sangat-sangat understanding and sporting. They offered to babysit the kids all the time. Agaknya they worried with the ladies yang excited sangat masuk kedai itu ini sampai terlupa anak. eheh. :P

Note 6: Some cameras, film cameras and lenses are woth to buy in Hong Kong. Murah beb!!! :)

At 5.30pm, there was a van came and picked us up at the hotel to bring for night Tour at The Victoria Peak.

Memang atas puncak bukit sungguh this place. When we climbed up the road, we met with luxurious house kiri and kanan bukit. Pun million billion macam tu rege nya. Kaya betul diorang ni tau! :p

There's a quite shopping mall named The Peak Galleria. Shopping mall ni adjoin with another mall named The Peak Tower. Hebak design dia!


Among the attractions dekat The Peak ni, salah satunya is Madam Tussaud, the place where the tourist would like to meet with Hollywood and HK celebrity wax figures like Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Robert Pattinson dan raaaaaaaaaamai lagi. Not only celebrities, you gotta meet with President Obama, President Bush, Saddam Hussein. Mr Albert Einstein and sportsmen terkenal pun ada! :)


Uish.. sikit lagi nak sama. :)

Eh.. 'abah' i pun ada la. :)

Becham pun ada weh! :)

In my first entry of HK, i did post a photo of how amazing and fascinating HK at night. We witnessed it at the The Victoria Peak Lookout Point. Subhanallah memang cantik sangat view from the top.


We closed that day with having Roti Nan for dinner at one of the Indian restaurant near Kowloon. We all siap reqquest lagu Kuch Kuch Hota Hai lagi. :)

The next two days, we had no longer went to visit any tourist place in HK. We dedicated those days for shopping. Ngeh Ngeh.

Pagi tu Jiba datang bilik kejut Abam Oman. Jiba belek-belek kaki Abam Oman yang bertampal macam sakit sangat tu ha. Padahal dia tampal tu sebab nak sama dengan Dadda. :P

After breakfast, we walked to this SUPER HUGE shopping complex in HK, The harbour City. This shopping complex memang besar sangat-sangat, dan it has everything in it!! Sebab tu we all spent 2 days here. Best wo!!


Otw to The Harbour City from the hotel, we met with this Mosque. Masa ni rasa macam pergi negara Islam sebab at the mosque compound, memang ramai sangat Muslim community tengah beraktiviti. Alhamdulillah. :)


Some shops along the Kimberly Road.

The Harbour City.

You all, ZARA kan memang murah tau dekat Hong Kong compared to KL. I jadi rambang mata. baju budak-budak pun banyak pilihan. Oman siap dapat Boots lagi.


Ala banja dengan Uncle Adik.

Gpapa dapat baju baru from TH terus pakai.
Oman pun dengan Boots & Topi baru from ZARA
Kemahen!

Personally, I rasa memang best shopping kat HK especially time sales. Naik gilerr tengok kasut and baju-baju. With various designs, baaanyak kedai2, and good deal of prices, berbaloi-baloi!!!

:)


That's the end of the story of my family trip to Hong Kong. It was really fun and enjoyable. Lagi-lagi bila semua members of the family turut serta. Hip Hip Hoorey! :)


REMEMBER ME...
