:: a destiny ::

Ten years ago in 2003 I met this gentleman at a car club (ACFK) gathering. I tagged along my friend Rynn just to kill time as we were already at the end of final year study. The gathering took place at Petronas Station Bukit Jalil and there were a lot of guys, of course because it was a Kancil car club. This particular guy caught my attention because his Kancil plate number started with D which represented Kelantan state and Rynn is a Kelantanese. Apparently she has met him earlier because he sold her a replacement car bumper after her car involved in accident. I only said few sentences to him but I can still remember what he wore that night - a blue/grey tshirt with faded jeans.

After awhile the entire group made our way to Awan Besar R&R. Rynn and I had our late dinner (mine was nasi lemak) and we were seating next to that guy's table. I asked him "tak makan ke?" (you're not eating?) but he shook his head with a smile and said he has already eaten. Later after that we had to gather around for somekind of speech before we made our way back to hostel in Cyberjaya. Yeah, in the car Rynn and I did talk about that guy. Not sure why Rynn brought him in our conversation but I can still remember saying this particular statement by referring him with "he got nice teeth" :-D

That night is a history that made "us" today. That is the night when I finally found my soulmate, the sweetest, kindest guy who is now my husband. After many years in friendship and love he has always been the 'one' and on this date 06.06 four years ago we were officially married. We may not have everything in common but one thing I know, we complete each other.

Bee, thank you so much for showering me with all your love. You have been my strongest supporter and my guidance; and I could never thank you enough for everything. I look forward to spending rest of my life with you and may His blessings cherished our relationship till Jannah. Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary to US.

With lots of love,
proud wife of yours


P/s: thank you for the wonderful anniversary gifts - the three 'i ♥ u' roses and of course, our cute lil babyAdy ;-)



P/p/s: gonna love you till the end.

:: the best female hygiene wash ::

Previously I have been using this particular brand of feminine hygiene wash but the relationship did not last long because it made my skin dry. I thought I am allergic to hygiene wash so when a friend introduced me to Cosmoderm Manjakani Hygiene Wash I told her I may not be able to use it. I still took the sample though, gave it a try and who knows, it has been a part of my daily life ever since.

What I like the most about Cosmoderm Manjakani Hygiene Wash is the cooling sensation so it literally gives me this fresh feeling and comparing to the previous hygiene wash, the liquid is highly concentrated. A small blob from the bottle is enough for one use, hence an entire bottle lasts longer although being used everyday so it is a real cost saving. The liquid is brownish in colour and I never question why however I have been told that this is due to concentrated amount of Manjakani inside and that is a good fact because as a woman, Manjakani can helps tightening vagina muscles especially after birth.

Morale of the story: there is no harm in trying a new product because you never know it might suits you really well. For the first timer, Cosmoderm has introduced a 100ml bottle of Manjakani Hygiene Wash at only RM11.90 for you try one. They are also running a contest where you can win a free honeymoon trip with your hubby so that is another good reason to buy one because you never know your luck, right? Here is some details on the contest for reference.

A bottle with 4-in-1 benefits:

> Firming

> Lightening

> Soothing

> Cooling

*Cosmoderm products are available at leading pharmacies (Vitacare, etc) all across Malaysia and can also be bought online. Check out their website for more details.

:: handmade studded watch strap ::

One of my favourite watch lost its leather strap last month and I have been planning to change the strap but always forgot to bring it to the shop. Out of nowhere I somehow got this idea to make my own DIY watch strap using whatever items available in my art and crafts box. It was an impromptu idea. Made it last Tuesday and it took me less than 30 minutes to give my old watch a new look.

1. Materials used:
- Strong Glue
- Felt Fabric
- Velcro
- Studs (bought from H&M for RM19.90 per pack - also available in silver and multicolour)
- Watch

2. Cut two straps of felt according to watch size and measure the length according to wrist size. Slip the straps inside the strap holders and glue one end at the back of each strap.

3. Push in the studs into the felt and secure the claws.

4. Front view of the straps with studs.

5. Glue velcro at the end of each strap.

6. All done and ready to go.

:: how i store my handbags ::

One thing I love the most is handbag (besides shoes, clothes and accessories lah) and I have been a handbag lover since as long as I can remember. My first official handbag is a black / purple Garfield bowling bag which I personally chose as UPSR gift from my parents. I was 12 years old and that time I was obsessed with Garfield so having a Garfield handbag is top on the list. When I started working my passion towards collecting handbags started growing. If you are familiar with this saying, "a woman can never have too many shoes" well I would say it is similar to handbags too because to me I can never have too many handbags. I need one for a casual outing, one to match a colour, one classic design as a legacy collection, one 'it' bag from a designer... and yeah the list goes on and on and on.

When the collection is growing one thing that has to be considered is the storing space. All these while I have allocated one row or 'one door' of the wardrobe because handbags need proper storage to keep them in good shape and long lasting. My previous wardrobe was small though and the handbags had to be stacked up on each other so when we moved in to the current house I have allocated bigger space for them. First I was inspired by thepinkstilettos who blogged about her DIY bag storage using hooks so I implemented the same idea for my weekend totes using the S shape hooks instead.

Personally this is such an awesome idea because I can easily grab a bag especially when I am in a hurry. However I would say that this method should be implemented to frequently used bags and please be reminded to take out unnecessary things out of the bags before they return to the hooks because heavy weight will give pressure and may damage the handles when they are hang like that.

Meanwhile, the rest of the collection is kept inside individual dust cover or boxes on shelves and most of the handbags are stuffed with tissue paper to retain their shapes.

 

Tier #01: Handbags that come with black dust covers are standardised in one shelf.

Tier #02: Although stored in individual boxes, the bags should still be stuffed with tissue paper and kept inside dust covers.

I have been reminded by sale assistants to let the leather handbags to breathe. It is not advisable to keep leather handbags inside the box all the time so in order to let them breathe is to use them often or keep them inside covers outside their boxes. Well I choose to use them often because I want to keep them in their boxes :-D

Tier #03: Seldom used clutches are kept inside one of the big box to save some space. Keeping them inside the box allow other bags to stack on top.

Tier #04: Fabric handbags do not come with dust covers but they are fine like that and hotel laundry bag is used as substitute for dust cover.

Dust cover may not look important if the bags are kept inside a close wardrobe but another purpose to keep them inside is to avoid any colour transfer from a bag to another. If the bag does not come with one, you can use pillow case or any drawstring bag (or use laundry bag like what I did) as a substitute. Here are some links on storing handbags that can be used as reference:

:: puisi pilihanraya ::

I may not post any entry regarding Malaysia's general election but this flyer caught my attention:



Hubby found it in our letterbox and I laughed while reading it. Who constructed those sentences especially that finishing line "Satu Malaysia hanya satu Mr. Gan Meng Foo"?

I reserve my comment but one thing for sure the message sounds desperate to me :-X

Anyway for those who have registered as voters, please check your details at www.pru13.gov.my. Voting day is another week away on 5 May 2013 and as a Malaysian citizen voting is part of our responsibility you know. Just choose wisely and cross the box. May the best party wins!
