Twit chop!

Hello! Just a short update before I go on and start my day. It's been a busy month! My sister Kekna is getting married, so naturally the house becomes chaotic *bayangkan adik-adikku menari macam 3budak hitam di background untuk menambahkan chaos*. Wedding is zeriuz bizniz guyz. Siapa-siapa yang merancang nak kahwin, tolonglah prepare 3tahun sebelumnya.

Dalam pada kesibukan kami, I pun menambah penyibukan diri dengan my own project, which is room makeover: Bedroom Project! This is the secret project I've been talking about. KONONNYALAH secret walhal everytime you go IKEA, you boleh terserempak muka I yang tengah confuse-confuse baca nama perabot.

Tak sabar nak kongsi Bedroom Project and share buying/deco tips! Okay now nak pergi busykan body lagi. Selamat Maju Jaya!

Jakarta Must-Do

Not, not necessarily to visit this salon. Any salon will do. Because all salons in Jakarta offer.... CREAMBATH TREATMENT! But we chose this salon since it's the cheapest one in Plaza Indo, after surveying few options.

Why Malaysia no creambath?! I think baru nak ada but not many. It's not a common thing here where they massage hair treatment (can choose pati kelapa or alpukat or etc) onto your scalp and the massage goes on till 30minutes or more. Ahhhhhhhh so so good. 

At first Kekna didn't wanna do it because I promised her it'll cost only around RM40-RM50. LOL SILLY ME, AMBEK KAU RM80++ ACTUALLY.

 Jadi kami tiga beradik pakat buat juga, takpe it's on me sebab I reaaaaaaally want them to experience it. Rugi sangat datang Jakarta tak buat rambut. Diorang memang blow cantik dan.... AMAGADDD CREAMBATHHH!

Shampooing our hair while we sat on this massage chair alololololo so hi-tech.

Then we had the creambath session, sejurus after that baru wash and blow.

Alisya is prolly nervous because her hair stylist looks like Chef Wan and is supposed to be cooking, not styling hair.

Coffee or Tea?

Berbakat betul tangan orang-orang Indo. Beralun rambutkuuu.

Kekna buat hal, hair so thick took forever to finish. 

Me and Alisya finished earlier, so naturally...

Yeah.

Muka pasrah bil ribu-riban.

Go ahead and try creambath when you're in Jakarta ;) 

(Gambar creambathnyer mane? KAHKAHKAH kbye)

Adik Perempuanku Yang Satu

EDITED! UNTUK TONTONAN UMUM :)

Baru lepas mandi dengan adik kecilku Alisya. Dalam bilik air yang sama. Ingat takkan terjadi lagi si godang 21tahun dan si kecil 11tahun mandi bersama, jirus-menjirus air sejuk sampai ke tulang, dari sebiji gayung buruk. Rupanya, adik-beradik tetap adik-beradik. Takkan lari daripada terkekeh together mandi berdua.

Yang tak disangka-sangka, waktu I shampoo rambut, banyak pula pertanyaan tips, mengalahkan pembaca belog I. Mula-mula dia tanya cara shampoo yang betul. I pun tunjuk macam-mana nak shampoo sambil menguraikan rambut supaya tidak perlu sikat sesudah kering. Kemudian dia lihat I sapu conditioner, dia pun nak tahu lebih lanjut. I pun explain conditioner jangan letak sampai akar umbi rambut nanti scalp berminyak. Bila lihat I keringkan rambut, dia nak ikut lalu tanya cara yang betul. I pun demonstrate cara nak dab dan ikat rambut dengan tuala sehingga kering. Waaaaaaaaaaah adik aku! Dalam pada tak kisah main panas dan lasak terserlah kejantanan, nak juga kelihatan anggun?

Ini ke Alisya? Ini ke Alisya yang waktu majlis pertunangan Kekna, belum sempat selesai tetamu pulang, sudah tukar baju kurung kepada seluar dan t-shirt sebab nak main takraw depan rumah? Ini ke Alisya itueww?!

Why Oh Why?

Why is it that during the NAPBAS voting period (it's 15 Nov till 27 Nov btw), I will be away and out of this country thus unable to (become my own biggest fan and) religiously vote myself every 2hours?

IT'S A SIGNNNN! IT'S A SIGN THAT...

While I am away, whenever you think of me, just come here okay? And cast your vote for inibelogsaya.blogspot.com (Most Influential Blog). I could use some votes and you could use some feel-good activities, no? Hewhewhew. 2hours later, be sure to miss me again and repeat the steps. Eh :B

*group hug*

Inilah dia! Inilah!

DAH BOLEH UNDI KITEW NAK LAWAN SINGAPORE 

DAN THAILAND DAN BLOG GOSSIP! 

Silakan... click sini dan beramal.

Undi boleh dibuat setiap 2 jam jadi haruslah mulai sekarang, sematkan imaji (di bawah) ini di minda sambil membayangkan suara I sebut "Two Hours Later" guna anak tekak. 

Setiap 2jam, ya! Beritahu rakan taulan ya! Kesungguhan anda, motivasi saya *WAH BERKEMPEN EKAU*. Terima kasih :')

Most Influential Blog

1.Who sent you here?

2.Why did you continue reading my blog after that one visit?

3.What do you get from my writings?

4.How did I or my writings in any way affect your life?
(Best answer to these four questions will win you a bottle of magical dust from me!)

I want to know. I need to know. Because you've nominated me for Most Influential Blog in Asia Pacific (for Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011) and now I'm representing Malaysia to fight for that title! Yes, I am one of the 5 finalists for that category and I'm thrilled! Thank YOU!

However, I can only bring home the award with your help because it comes from your votes. Sobs.

Honestly, bab kaut undi, I memang fail *playing the sympathy card*. Seriously, kalau kena appoint jadi calon ketua darjah, terus bontot gelongsor ke depan dan tengkuk masuk dalam badan, sebab malu sangat. Malu kalau dah berdiri luar kelas dengan calon-calon lain, pastu takde siapa undi. Even orang yang mencalonkan tadi tu pun tak undi T_T

Masa dekat universitas, walaupun semua cadang I bertanding untuk position MPP, I tak pernah ever. Ya MPP, yang kau kena berkempen janji manis propaganda manisfesto paling gemilang untuk raih undi itu. Yang satu minggu tuh memang kau kena tiba-tiba senyum kat setiap jasad mengharapkan mereka hafal senyuman kau dan semai dalam dada untuk pangkah muka itu. Tak ghetiii. Tak ghetiii.

Jadi apakah kesimpulan cerita ini? Kesimpulannyaaa... UNDILAH HAMIS JALIKHA UNTUK MOST INFLUENTIAL BLOG. BOLEH UNDI DI SINI MULAI ESOK (15.11.11). Am I doing this right? Is this how you fish for votes T_T 

No seriously korang kena undi jugak sebelum 27 November sebab kucing I takleh harap.

What is becoming of Demok?

You remember Demok? The baby girl my family babysits since forever? Yes, the triple chin young lady. I'm sure you would want to know what has happened to her and how she is doing.

This might seem like a normal IKEA day out to your eyes. Aww look at them bersopan-santun crossing the street. Obviously belum warm up.

Aw look at these angelic faces especially the one in black top. Eh.

 Instruction on the box Demok comes with: For triple chin effect, just add lemon.

Okay mari kita warm up! Huyak! Huyak! Huyak!

Bersedia untuk hyper *please refer to Demok's expression*.

LAGHI! LAGHI!!! *si pelat sebut lari*

K.

Bila dia dah penat lari satu IKEA, nak kena dukung.

At the counter.

Keknis not looking, I can still escape.

While crossing the road.

 OMGGG THIS IS SO MUCH FUN *tak sedar berat 12tan*.

That is all.

Melantak.

Pramugari atau Gaun Pengantin?

Fuh tajuk… kontroversi. Konon-konon tengah buat pilihan yang menentukan masa depan. Malang sekali untuk anda yang suka cerita sensasi, ia hanya propa belaka. Ini kerana ia adalah dua judul buku dalam tangan saya sekarang.

Buku dari Koleksi Syok! Terbitan PTS...

Aku, Dia & Gaun Pengantin dan Pilihlah Aku Menjadi Pramugari.

Apabila nak berangan-berangan, antara dua buku ini, of course I akan baca Aku, Dia & Gaun Pengantin dulu. Dalam pada itu, bolehlah bagi input dekat Kekna yang tengah busy persiapan wedding dia. Memang buku ini I find somewhat useful. Not only bercerita pasal the hilarious journey of a bride-to-be, juga diselitkan sekali to-do-list and tips for bakal pengantin.

Bolehlah Keknis share sedikit k? Nak lebih-lebih, sila beli dan baca sendiri.

ñ  Bunga: Ada few types yang boleh didapati dengan harga ekonomi bila season dia, jadi survey dahulu. Jangan pilih rupa dan warna sahaja, ambil kira baunya.

ñ  Tempat majlis: Senaraikan apa yang diingini dari tempat itu, dan sediakan soalan untuk diajukan sewaktu tinjauan.

ñ  Gaun pengantin: Minta pendapat designer. Minta pendapat orang ketiga, orang yang melihat. Jangan perasan sensorang.

ñ  8-6 bulan sebelum berkahwin: Buat budget, usha direktori perkahwinan, tetapkan jumlah persalinan kat majlis, cari rumah, daftar kursus pra-perkahwinan dan etc (nanti beli bacalah). Pengantin lelaki, check balik jumlah duit hantaran yang dah difinalized. Salah percaturan, naya.

ñ  5 bulan sebelum perkahwinan: Pergi kursus, beli cincin, pergi facial dan spa (siapa nak diet, sila start sekarang), tempah videographer dan photographer serta banyak lagi.

ñ  2 bulan sebelum perkahwinan: Cepat cari pengapit! Hantar kad jemputan! Dan beberapa lagi agenda…

ñ  3-1 hari sebelum majlis: TIDUR AWAL. Atau selama-lamanya akan tersemai wajah tak semegah dalam album kahwin. Macam mana nak ikut trend dan jadikan Facebook display picture nanti? LOL.

Bila usha website PTS ini lebih banyak senarai novel yang catchy-catchy, boleh rambang mata (ceh novel Pilihlah Aku Menjadi pramugari pun I tak baca lagi). Kemudian… aik ada contest ler pulok.

 Ada peraduan Bongkar Kod Rahsia. Wah.. Hadiah Ipad 2 pula… Terus Keknis klik iklan itu. Bila Keknis study-study peraduan ini, novel yang Keknis beli boleh digunakan untuk bongkar kod rahsia. Tapi nak kena tambah 6 biji buku lagi sebab kena masuk 8 pusingan untuk melayakkan menang hadiah utama.

Bagaimana?

1.    Layari www.peraduan.pts.com.my

 2. Sebelum bermain kena daftar dahulu dan kena ada FB tau. 
     Klik pada 'Daftar Sekarang Untuk Menang'

3.    Pilih buku mana yang anda ada. Dan make sure buku itu ada dalam tangan!

   4. SUNGGUH NERVOUS KEKNIS SELAK BUKU CARI PERKATAAN YANG DIA NAK. HOI.

5.    Bila dah tekan 'Hantar' keluar paparan ini.

Tahniahlah kitew! Selesai pusingan pertama. Minggu depan tunggu pusingan kedua, nak guna buku Aku, Dia & Gaun Pengantin pula.

Oh ya, pertandingan bermula 1 Oktober -23 Disember 2011, jadi jangan buang masa lagi! Satu pusingan hanya satu minggu! Okay bye Keknis undur diri dahulu sementara korang semua usha www.peraduan.pts.com.my . Ingat, membaca amalan orang cool.

To Be Center Stage

Do you know what it’s like to be the center of attention? To be in the spotlight and have control of the stage? To be deemed as intense and opinionated?

I have.

All this while I’ve been told my friends and family that I am outspoken and intense, but hey that doesn’t necessarily mean a good thing right? Maybe my friends are just saying that because I always say the wrong things? Maybe my siblings are just saying that because when I argue with them, I do it so well, their points are suddenly invalid? Maybe my parents are just saying that because when I want something, I’ll present them a (verbal) proposal they can’t reject? Hehehe.

Then I enrolled into Uni and was recognized for being outspoken and intense. In my freshman year, I was the Public Speaking Champion. In my final year, I was awarded Best Speaker during the debate finale. So I guess my friends and family meant it in a good way eh :P (Don’t ask what I was doing in between freshman and final year because I was basically lazy and always away for the weekend :B)

To be completely honest, I don’t quite fancy the idea of going in front of people and have hundred pairs of eyes focusing on my every move, listening to my every word, anticipating any mistakes I was bound to make. But you know the storyline; no one wants to do it-- I gotta be a hero and represent – I rejected but a hot guy talked me through—standing ovation-- at the end of the day everybody is happy—credit rolls while the crowd cheers. Yada yada.

So what was it like being center stage? AH-MAY-ZING. The thrill of having all eyes and ears on you is indescribable. It feels like HEY YOU I COMMAND YOUR ATTENTION, and surprisingly they obeyed LOLOLOLOL! Gotta love the electrifying rush that comes with it. If you ask me to do it all over again, relive the glorious moment, I would! The hot guy doesn't even have to talk me through it this time.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I feel like I can relate to what Fergie has in mind when she created Outspoken Intense perfume. 

 She wants to share with you the thrill and excitement of performing, all in one bottle.

“Alluring top notes of succulent blackberry, shining star fruit and luscious kumquat will captivate your audience. A heart of lush purple passion flower adds a bold and vibrant edge to lush gardenia and velvety orange flower petals. A base of sensual musks wrapped in white amber and blonde cedar creates enduring rhythm”.

For me, the scent is refreshing. Thanks to it, I smelled like I just got out of the shower—all day long! I absolutely love it. If you want to experience Outspoken Intense yourself, I have 3bottles to give away *one eyebrow up along with a smirk*.

TO WIN: All you have to do is write an entry on How Confidence Has Changed My Life and send the permalink in the comment box! I will pick 3 best stories and who knows, you might win the Outspoken Intense by Fergie! So what does it feel like being confident? I love it! Good luck!
CONTEST HAS ENDED.

Save Yourself From Heartache

Heartbreak is inevitable. Even in a seemingly happy relationship, heartaches occur when expectations are not met or when word is inconsistent with deeds. People make mistakes, slack off and overall imperfect. There’s only two ways to it; it could either make the relationship stronger, or break it. Dwell or move on, your call. In the end, it all comes down to the two of you because relationship is only as strong as the people in it.

When my heart aches, I can’t sleep. I lose track of time. I hang my head upside down from the couch. I spend longer time on prayer mat. I also seek comfort from chocolate and music.

Chocolate: Dove Chocolate.

Music: Straight from my sombre playlist; what an emo girl listens to when she loses herself in her emo Me-Time Moments.

The Scientist by Coldplay.

Admit it. When you’re miserable, you listen to this song and nod in agreement to every word Chris sings. Sampai hafal, sampai muak-muak. Sampai bila hati sakit lagi, dengar lagu ini takde feel dah sebab overrated.

Heartbreak Warfare by John Mayer.

Slow Dancing in A Burning Room by John Mayer.

I don’t know how much heartbreak this guy has gone through-- but if it means more emo songs from his genius lyrical mind, we aint complaining. Lagu ini sedih sebab sedap tapi sedih. Macam cerita Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham dan Qabil Qushry Qabil Igam, sedap tapi sedih. Layan tapi nangis.

Kasih Tak Sampai by Padi

Baca tajuk terus-menerus mengerti situasi.

Wonderful World by James Morrison.

Ini memang lagu dodoikan tidur waktu hati menangis apabila air mata telah kering. 

Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5.

Lagu kegemaran untuk yang beremosi tapi ganas luarannya. Seperti I. Okay mu pong ganah jugok.

Emosi perlu dilayankan, perasaan perlu dibelai. Jangan ignore keperluan hati, tapi make sure berpada-pada. Kalau not worth it, jangan dipanjangkan cerita. Terima kasih Dove Chocolate yang membuahkan entri ini dan membantu saya go through emotional phase. Bila emo, music and chocolate are a girl’s bestfriend, kan? 

 And by the way, sekarang ada pek Dove chocolate yang lebih besar (80g!). Takdelah cepat sangat habis makan waktu jiwang karat.

CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST HUMAN INVENTION!

 From left: 66% cacao dark chocolate, milk chocolate, hazelnut & raisin milk chocolate.

Sekarang sila share dengan saya, lines from your favourite sad songs yang you dengar sambil memujuk hati. Maybe I could listen to it on my next emotional Me-Time Moment with silky smooth Dove Chocolate.
