Wani's Engagement

On August 2nd, I was invited for my best friend's wedding. I thought I couldn't make it because I  already had made a new plan but later I thought it only happened once of everyone's life time mostly. Since I didn't know her house location I followed Mila who's also my best friend aka Wani's make up artist for the engagement. I was so excited and to be honest this was my first time attending an engagement ceremony in my life. 

Mila's 'tools' in making the make over. What I did was giving comments and ate the cakes given by Wani's mother and sipping the syrup drink.

Her dress was so beautiful with details of beads. The soft brown color really compliment her skins.

Mila was giving her last touch. Here's a little bit about her make up. I like how she applied foundation color that blended well with the skin tone. It made the make up look so natural and pretty. She likes to focus on the eyes and completed it with soft lips color. Make up should enhance your face and skin instead of making you look completely a different person with thick & 'cake' make up which is not much of my liking.

This soft pink flowers went perfectly with the dress and there were customized by her aunt! So creative.

The bridal bed or pelamin was simple with white background and a little soft color such as purple, pink, peach and such to make it more dreamy. 

These are hantaran from the Wani's side. Using the same theme color as her dress. 7 trays altogether included cupcakes, Ferraro Roche, fruits, sejadah and many more.

These are from her fiance's side. Using red as his theme. 5 trays altogether and I like the flowers with daun sireh.

This was the moment when she was officially engaged to her fiance. I could tell that she was so nervous and it was so overwhelming. She had just completed her first stage of getting into her marriage chapter.

You have to show off the rings somehow.

Picture of future husband and wife.

Wani and Mila.

Wani and me. One thing I hate taking pic with petite person is I will look like a giant. Thanks genes!

Wani and Kak Jascelina. Glad that she could make it to the ceremony!

For those who are interested of getting Mila's service in make up. You can contact her in Facebook through this Mila Buyung . She is friendly and very skillful with make up and the best part is the price is so reasonable! Make sure to check out her works in her album.

Thanks!

Royal Floria Putrajaya 2015 Part 2

Part 1 is here.

After we had our lunch we took a stroll around the area. We decided to go Chinese Theme plant decoration first. This was the map for us to discover.

The Chinese Theme Park was a bit far behind near the river. However, we didn't bother walking a bit as we enjoyed the beautiful view and the bridge as for the background.

Found a smaller photo booth and took a lot of  we-fie here and there.

This was the main entrance of the Chinese Theme Park. We had to take turns for pictures as there were many people took pictures too. 

However there was not much for us to discover as the place was so small and not much variations of plants planted there. There was a small pond that consist of cute small goldfish that added the landscape of the park. Tried to snap it but pictures don't do much justice.

As I told earlier the weather was very hot but we were lucky that the place was only minor crowded compared to the late evening. Hence we took a rest under this kind of bamboo trees I think.

After we had done, we were thirsty and went for coffee break near the river. There were many seats for us to choose. 

We bought our drink at this KopieSatu Truck. 

We ordered iced coffees which were so sweet to our liking. I think blended coffees would taste better than the regular iced coffees. 

Then we took our seats , sipping the cold drinks while enjoying the river breeze. We had a little chat before continued to our next sections of the place which will be posted on part 3.

Gracias!

Book Review :100 Ways To Boost Your Self Confidence by Barton Goldsmith

"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time."

- Anna Freud -

Recently, I like to read motivation books that inspires me through daily life. I think as I'm getting older I tend to realize the reality of life.

What I'm trying to say is that I need to be more serious in life. Mostly I'm trying to figure out what I want to do in life or finding my career. Hence this book helped me a lot. I know this book is about self-confidence but from my point of view, it's about having self-confidence in making decision of finding your own path. Trust me, I still don't know what I'm doing now.

I mean yes I'm still furthering my study, yes I have a part time job that pays me well and I love it but and then what? Marriage? Not so fast. Anyway, this is a very good book. The words and sentences are simple and easy to understand. The best part is, it provides simple tips yet they works. Let me share you some that I have tried.

Framed your achievements

Sometimes, you forget that you have done great things in life such as graduating from college, awards and many more. It reminds me that if I had done this before, I could do this again. It really boost up your confidence level.

Give yourself a good shave (face or legs)

It's another instant refresher and in addition when we know we are looking our best, we are naturally more confident.

Wash your car inside and out

If you don't think this applies to you, just remember when your space is clean and neat, you tend to enjoy the journey and feel good about yourself.

Organize your closet and get rid of anything that no longer fits

Throw out the old makes the room for the new. Same goes with your life. Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih.

Cook a lovely meal

Who doesn't love food? Sharing it with someone you love or respect will make it even more nurturing.

Gracias!

Royal Floria Putrajaya 2015 Part 1

Hi. Let's be honest I'm not a big fan of flowers but I like pretty things and that include flowers. That's a big difference there okay lol. I have so many pictures and it will be a long post. Hence I decided to split it. 

I went with my sisters , Nina and Cella on 5th June 2015. We planned to go there in the morning but..well it didn't happen so we got there in afternoon. It was blazing hot. There were so many parking space might be people prefer to come in evening where the weather would be bearable. Free parking and the entrance fee is RM5 per adult and RM3 per child.

We quickly went indoor to cool off a bit even though we only had been there for about 10 - 20 minutes. 

We walked around to discover the small shops that sold pretty unique stuffs.

This was my favorite booth. It sold beautiful and fairy lights decoration. 

Perfect to personalize the room decorations to make it more romantic for the nights. After that we went outside to explore more plants that are sold with really cheap prices!

I don't know what kind of flower is this but the white one is so pretty!

Then we got hungry and discovered fast food trucks which were so perfect and the background view was amazing.

 We ended up eating pizza for lunch. I don't know why I ordered hot mushroom soup while the weather was crazy hot. Well..I finished it anyway.

That's all for now. I'll continue the next part soon! Happy fasting month to all muslims!

Saga Hill Hike

Hi guys! So late last month my KL Fit Challenge Coaches decided to make outdoor work out. We were allowed to invite family and friends so I brought Nina along. We gathered around 8 am at the club before heading there together since most of us didn't know the way to Saga Hill. We were so excited since it was our first hike in our twenties LOL.

One thing I didn't like was lack of parking space. One was because we got there a bit late than we should and it was weekend.

There were no toilets provided therefore you need to be prepared. There was a small stall which sold bananas and other fruits as well to boost up your energy before you start hiking. I didn't snapped any picture on the way up as I was worried I would tripped and smashed down the camera.

It was raining slightly after about 15 minutes of hiking hence we needed to be careful with our steps. Luckily it stopped after 5 minutes or so and we could see beautiful little mushrooms started to blossom after the rain.  

The route was fine at first but it got harder and harder with so many high steps but I still could bear with it. Nina was so exhausted and wanted to throw up. Might be due to her lack of exercise and breakfast. I was afraid that she wanted to give up. I kept telling her she could do it and didn't want to miss the chance to see the top view. I was proud she made it then!

We were so relieved and happy to make it to the top even though we were only welcomed with just a sign board LOL.

Pictures of people who made it to the top! We called it board of achievement.

Can I just lay down and appreciate a little moment of good day after rain?

A little corner for resting.

We only could peeped the stunning view through the trees but too bad the picture don't do any justice. 

These were the coaches who were responsible of our exhausted morning. Coach Kevin and his wife Coach Jamie.

We stayed at the top for 20 minutes and later headed down. We decided to take another route which was steeper to challenge ourselves.

Managed to finish it in just twenty minutes. Yeay!

Took some pictures while waiting for others.

Thank you for all the crews in making the hike more fun and exciting. We were sweating like crazy and it was a very good work out. For those who are looking for a hike on weekend I would suggest for you to come here as the route is moderate for the starters. The routes are easy making the chances of getting lost are very low. You will always find another hikers on the way up and down and most of them are very friendly and encouraging. Give it a try!

Pulau Ketam Steamboat

How's your public holiday so far? It is a good day to just wake up and see the sunshine peeping in through the window offering you a great day ahead. And for me finally I can write a blog post! 

What do you like to do when you have free time? I like to spend with my sister and haunting food that is under our budget. 

So about last month we were so craving for seafood steamboat. But most of them are quiet pricey per head. Later we decided to try Pulau Ketam Steamboat which is situated in KL Festival. 

The entrance is very small and a bit hidden but fear not, when you enter it you will find out it is very large inside.

The interior is very simple and with bright orange chairs to spice up the area. 

We decided to dine outside because the weather was so good and windy which was perfect for us to have late lunch together. 

The outside area is facing to a lake which added points why we decided to sit there. 

The waitress was very friendly and helpful in helping us to choose the meal set. Later we wanted to try Double Combo Value Set which is offered for two people. 

My sister chose Chicken Soup and mine was Tom Yam Soup. I have to say the Tom Yam soup was delicious and almost exactly like we were in Thailand. However, my sister said the Chicken Soup was a bit just okay but can be spiced up with the condiments and it would make it tastes tastier.

As you can see I almost finish the whole fried onions. I love to put it in my soup and tasted the crunchy of it.

However the real presentation of the meal was not as good as in picture but everything were there.

Here are us enjoying every sip of it. 

 If you guys have big appetite I recommend you to pick the meal set for 3 or 4 because the meal set for two was not enough.

But I came back again alone to have my lunch since Nina couldn't make it due to class.I ordered the Mussels Value set for 1 person which is RM29.80.

(The picture was taken with my phone so sorry for the quality)

This set was more than enough for me. The mussels were chew-able and I don't know why they tasted like fish lol. I left with happy tummy and was satisfied. 

So I'm going to rate this 3.5 out of 5 star. It's a great place to eat steamboat if you are under budget and worth it as well. 

Mucho Gracias!

Sasa Facemask

Let me tell you I'm a very lazy person. I do basic things which is easy and simple including my skincare routine. I admire girls with flawless face skin and great skin tone. My sister enjoys her "me time" and likes to try many new face mask. Me? Well I only wash my face twice a day. Once after I woke up and later when I'm bout to sleep. Pimples only bother me a little. I will just rock that pimples face that day (I really don't know where my confidence is coming from or I'm just full of myself lol).

However, last week was my assignment dateline. Being a great procrastinator I was so stressed but I'd done it. Later I wanted to reward myself by having "me time". I bought these face masks from Sasa.

And girl I was mad at myself why I didn't buy them sooner! They made my skin so soft. All my pimples started to get smaller and the best part is the pores started to almost vanish! 

I tried to wear the Placenta Essence Mask (pink one) and oh my gosh my skin felt so soft and moisturized like wet tissues (in a good way).

My favorite is this Refreshing Face Mask. It makes my face feel so fresh and improve my dull skin. Plus it smells so nice and soothing. I ended up buying more of this because I like it so much! All you have to do is just leave it on your face for 20 - 30 mins but I always leave it overnight so that I wake up feeling good and fresh. 

Each of them are varies in price but Sasa is having the promotion now. There are many types of face masks for such a low price. Pick any four of them and you only have to pay RM10! Grab them quick before it ends! 

Thanks for reading!
