:: 20.11.2011 ::

It's another anticipated date of the year after 11.11.11. Falls on a Sunday, first week of school holiday makes it a perfect day for wedding reception so do expect heavy traffic on the road today. As for me, neither 11.11.11 nor 20.11.2011 has any significance to my life. We have a wedding to attend and at 11.55am we are still lazing on the bed like other Sundays. I love spending time on the bed with Ady on Sunday because it is relaxing. We can play, I sing him nursery rhymes, read him books and this morning he did something that impressed me:


My baby is growing fast. One day I will surely miss this moment but thanks to technology advancement I could record the milestones here. I should be ready for the wedding now. Goodbye and Happy 20.11.2011.

:: team air force #01 ::

The three of us went to KLCC last Sunday, 13.11.11 and we were wearing Air Force-themed attire.

Hubby was wearing a vintage US Air Force uniform and I donned in a female version of Air Force uniform bought from Zara. Meanwhile, Ady was wearing Carter's camouflage pants with a military aircraft long-sleeve t-shirt paired with a cute little camouflage shoes.

We were one happy Air Force team!

:-P

:: ady turns 5 ::

Ady Rifqi turns 5 months today. Only one more month before he can starts consuming solid food. Sadly, Ady is a bit under the weather. He was attacked with fever since last Sunday night. On the next day Ady and his papa were both sick. Not sure whether they were attacked by the same virus or it was due to weather or surrounding but as an adult, hubby fully recovered on the next day while Ady continued having fever. It was more devastating when we could see small red spots all over his body, hands, legs which according to mother-in-law were measles. Luckily it only lasted for 3 days and those spots are almost gone now. Ady got some red rashes on his face though so I applied cooling powder on his face before bedtime and it worked in disappearing the redness.

Bedak sejuk time!

Today we brought Ady to SDMC because he has discharge coming out of his left ear. We already bought him to GP last time but the discharge continues coming out although it has dried for few days. Ear discharge or infection is actually normal for baby especially if he is having flu. Since baby doesnt know how to takeout the flu mucus from nose it then comes out through a hole in the ear. It still needs to be monitored and we were given a set of medicines that hopefully could dry out the mucus and stop infecting the ear.

Waiting for his turn to meet the doctor

I really want to share some of Ady's development but God, I'm so tired and sleepy to write longer. I really need to call it a day because my eyes closed every few minutes while typing this. Maybe I will continue next time then. Sorry peeps. Farewell and good night! ZzzZzz...

:: green day ::

I spent more than 30 minutes in my wardrobe room last night searching and deciding on what to wear to the office today. I even asked Bee whether I could apply personal loan so I could ditch most of my working attire and buy new ones that are much more updated and suit my current taste. Seriously, I'm getting tired with what I have in the 'working top' closet. Most of the shirts have been inside there for 5 years and over; and lately I seemed to be less inspired or creative enough to mix and match them. Well, that is actually a long explaination for the word 'boredom' so after 30 minutes passed by I finally made my decision. 

I decided to go green.

 

It was my first time wearing this combo - green shirt paired with green flare skirt. At first I wanted to wear a yellow belt but it looked a bit OTT to be worn to office so I wore the pink belt instead, paired with my pink heels to add contrast, yet still toning down the look. Moreover I personally had a thing with green and pink. I just love pairing the colours together because they somehow suit each other and even had them for my wedding theme. By the way I really like that printed shawl because the design is modern and intended to buy more of that kind later. It's kind of hard to find nice designs though, or maybe I should spend a day at Jalan TAR then.

I think I'm going into a style transition period, well maybe due to age factor because I'm turning 31 in 2 months time. Mid-life crisis, no? God, I'm getting older (well, who doesn't?). Okay enough is enough. Now I'm not sure why I'm having this entry after all because it doesn't go anywhere. I guess it's time to end it now. See you in the next entry then... toodles!

:: diy victorian-themed headband ::

I was invited to a famous blogger, Shazwani Hamid's tea party last month. The theme was Victorian and since Victorian is sync with lace, satin, pearl, velvet..... and also wearing headpiece, I intended to wear something on my head too. It was a last minute decision actually but luckily I still got some felt fabric and balance of black lace used for my wedding hantaran last time so I decided to customise one of my headband into a so called Victorian-themed headband. 

I purposely bought this black satin bow headband to be worn on scarf but it looked too simple.

Using felt fabric as the base, I first cut the fabric into a round shape and sew the lace around it.

 

 The fabric was then attached to the headband with a pin so I could easily take it off if I don't need it later. 

 The front view but it still looked plain.

To enhance the look, I then sew black crystal beads and faux pearl beads around them

and ta-daaaaa
