Finally !!!!! Sydney... mu tunggu aku datang !!

Hyee Hoo !!!

Alhamdulillah. Finally dapat juga bercuti. Walau plan asal patut pergi Melbourne (again) for 14 days.. (wahh roadtrip bagai) tapi atas sebab- sebab yang tak dapat dielak, maka aku pun...

Haaa tadaa!!! Kau!!! Angkut anak- anak gi bercuti lagi best. Tak pening kepala. Tak yah bertunggu tangga. Moral of the story, utamakanlah keluarga anda dulu ye. Kecuali anda single then boleh lah pergi 456 bas kawan- kawan.

So now tiket dah booked. Hotel pun finally dapat yang elok, walau sedikit mahal tapi cukup memudahkan pergerakan untuk keluarga yang ada anak- anak kecik macam iols. Very near to Darling Harbour. Everything just walking distance.

So now.. flight dah, hotel dah.. let move on to the next one which is.. itinerary. Iols ni kiasu sket.. selagi tak siap semua.. selagi tu lah tak benti google and skodeng travelblog blogger lain. Thank you ek. Banyak dapat idea dari situ.

So basically aku jimat baaanyak sangat2. Beli masa FREE seat Airasia and booked hotel kat Agoda. Jimat banyakkk . Less than 5k in total.

Takleh nak reveal budget now sebab jejak pun belum so.. akan di kongsi bila dah balik dari sana ek, Bila tu?

NOVEMBER!!

XOXO

Another Journey

Assalamualaikum

 

Been almost a year i havent blog any since my last post. I was busy with new edition in the family, Mohamad Noah Adruce, my second child. And also busy fit myself with new field, try to sell offline by joining bazaar. Not bad tho..

 

And now I'm back blogging again. Hopefully i could share more with you about my journey, my business growth and such. A lot of things I would love to share since my last apperance on my blog. Failing in food and beverage business. Struggling between raising kid and restart own business. Having few issue with family and friend.

 

Well, I resign from Vuitton in year 2012. February 2012 to be exact. Then I start my journey in food and beverage line with my parents same year. Here come Ketumbar Restaurant. We open Ketumbar at The strand, Kota Damansara serving malay authentic food especially Johorean dishes. Issue after issue.. one after another problems.. we decided to close down the restaurant. I'm jobless again.

 

But before we decide to close the restaurant, I was at 8 months pregnancy. Consider jobless. And i slowly find ways to earn income without touching my saving. So i start to dig in old clothes that I dont fit but still good condition and sell it as pre-love item. On and on.. I start to plan online business.  AGAIN.

 

I safely gave birth my son on 31 October 2012.

 

By January 2013, I decided to make changes in life.. be dedicated near to our creator.. Allah SWT. I started to wear hijab. Learn more about religion. And I started my hijab clothing line with shawls. I involve myself with offline bazaar. Alhamdulillah it went smooth.

 

Now I'm back in business. Doing tailoring, sketching for my new design. And I cant wait for my new collection to be release for 2014 Spring Summer !! Alhamdulillah. I truly promise to update my blog as often as I can so I could share more about my routine and business growth with you!

 

Till then ladies.. gotta go

 

XOXO

AL- FATIHAH

Last 17th September 2011 at 10am my beloved grandmother passed away in peace. Been 5 years she went through all pain and suffer I guess Allah loves her more and I'm ready to let her go so that she won't have to suffer anymore from stroke and such

When emak call me.. I dont know how to express my feeling.. I'm not crying.. not because I dont love her but I guess I am ready to hear that news anytime. We rush back to Mersing for the funeral but unfortunately I dont have chances to kiss her for the last time. Heavy rain so my brother cant speed.

We have 3 nights kenduri and for the first 2 nights Im helping my dad to cook. So 1st day was Mee Goreng Kari. Superb and delicious menu by abah until Mamat cant wait!! OMG. Alhamdulillah everything went smooth.

2nd day kenduri Abah and me cooked Ayam masak asam pedas, kacang panjang goreng and ikan tongkol goreng. Woohoo sold out. Sadly Mamat dont have chances to taste it. Too bad. Lol. 

3rd day, I cant help Abah to cook as I have to rush back KL. On my way.. slowly I felt so sad whenever I recap my memories with Atok for 27 years. She is a wonderful person that I ever met! She never let us down. She always cook yummy dishes whenever we go back Mersing to visit her and everytime school hols emak always send us back kampung. Wee...

I still remember her house. Huge hall for family. And that also place for me, Mamat and Abang play 'bowling' using slippers and ball. That is also area whereby all aunties and cousins sleep during Raya time because we dont have enough room to sleep and we call it tidur lambak!! OMG so much fun!! I miss bukit pasir in front of her house. Whenever we play, she will sit in front of the house watching us and call back when reach 6pm.

I miss a lot of thing.. Atuk always bring us to Peng Fong to buy us jajan and such. And every evening when nyonya motor came with bunch of breads, atuk will buy us roti with cream and choc rice on top. OMG! so yummy. And atuk will buy asam for herself.

I still remember her favourite food- Mee goreng and Fresh Orange. She loves keropok and Kacang tumbuk also. I am so happy when my first sewing machine I made her baju kurung Kedah with a pocket in front and she damn happy.

She move in JB with my mom since Iein start her tadika. I knew she miss her house a lot but she feel bad if she didnt help emak to taking of Iein. Here come newborn Naim as he grew up in my house too. :-) Naim is my cousin. Mamat's lil brother.

..... Atuk.. you will be missed and I miss you a lot now. I dont wanna cry so much as I know it will burden you 'there'. Thank you so much for being the best atuk ever. Thank you so much for your sacrifices for us.. Taking care of abang, me, Iein, Mamat and Naim. Thank you so much Atuk. You know I always tell you how much I love you.

Atuk.. I hope you will be place in Heaven.

Al- Fatihah.

SALAM AIDILFITRI

Selamat Hari Raya!!

Dah nak masuk Minggu ke-2  baru la berpeluang nak blog. Last I blog is right before Ramadhan. Tersangatlah busy with workload and tempahan and even dah habis raya, still busy with tempahan and now I'm working out on Izzati's dress for her sister wedding. InsyAllah I will put up her dress.

Nothing much to blog about just busy baca blog orang lain.. tapi blog sendiri bersawang.. fuh..fuh.. There's 2 blog that I llove to follow- proudduck and nisamazbar. Both are very passionate about dreams and life. I admire both of them been success in such a young age and InsyAllah one day I will success in young age too. (that's why working so hard from now)

Talking about my project's progress, very slow because I'm still working in the same time. That why flicka and Nazuin Halim don't have any new product yet. I'm still considering if I should continue with Flicka or not. Or maybe I shoud put both under same name- Nazuin Halim. It never easy to rebranding anyway.

Lately I'm crazy about shopping online. actually nak kata takde masa langsung nak shopping tak jugak. Even during off day pun busy menjahit (sorry Sara.. mummy lama tak hang out dengan Sara). So jalan terbaik ialah- shopping online. There's few online shopping that I suggest such as Winkstick, Fashion Valet and ThePopLook (tu pun baru tau dari blog Hanis Zalika ) Izzati- the person who I working on her dress now is just 20y.o and she's the owner of Winkstick that she shared with her sisters and the best part- the mom is the admin. Best gila ok! Kalau whole family sepakat... InsyAllah berjaya.  Check it out guys!

But somehow, shopping online ni ada la best dan tak bestnya.. When what we expect doesn't reach our expectation.. kenalah redha sebab u cant even try, yoou cant even checked so everything is you take your own risk. And so do I. I wasn't happy but I have to understand the terms of online shopping.

OK, I guess thats all for now because i got work to do. Till we meet again.

Hugs

BE INDEPENDENT

Wife   : OMG! Look.. Cantiknya shawl ni

Hubby: Berapa harga? ( without looking  ok!!)

Wife   : RM1xxx

Hubby: Tak payah la.. jom..I lapar la

Terus keluar tarik tangan isteri and the wife terkulat- kulat je jalan sambil sempat jeling shawl yang dia dah lama eye-ing.

Sound bad? No actually. Infact the couple came in and dress up in a proper manner. Ralph Lauren t-shirt, kasut Gucci and even the wife herself carry a casual Louis Vuitton bag. As what i observe ladies nowdays (not saying I'm judging but most of them are) berangan nak dapat husband berduit, then tak payah kerja, duduk rumah, jaga rumah, jaga anak.. and cukup time husband belanja.

SALAH!!!

Jangan sesekali berangan macam tu ya kaum wanita. To me, its good if your husband afford to support everything tapi sangatlah beza bila dapat pegang duit sendiri. No matter how kaya your husband, you still have to earn bit for yourself. At least if kita suka sesuatu benda, tak payahlah nak mengharap husband beli 24jam, bila tak dapat, terkulat- kulat biji mata.

Hidup berumah tangga, semua orang mengharapkan kekal hingga ke mati. Itu konsep berumahtangga 50 tahun dulu perhaps? Nowadays, I advice womens out there supaya bekerja sendiri tak kira kerja in office or even home business as long ada saving sikit for future. Dan senyap- senyap la ada saving sendiri untuk kemudahan di kemudian hari. Mana tau kalau panas tak sampai ke petang sekurangnya takde la kita ternganga ditinggalkan sehelai sepinggang.

Some of you might not agree but percayalah. There's thousand of advantages if you know how to stand on your own. Alhamdulillah, I'm working and in the same time I do have side income for saving. There's certain things that my husband would buy for me and some of it I do bought with my own money. That's the fact and I'm proud of it. I don't care people say I might be stupid by not taking advantage so-call but I do believe, if anything happen in future I know how to handle and stand on my own. I proud with what I own (I mean like handbags even clothes or shoes- personal things from normal to luxury brand), all I earn it with my own effort. I should be grateful enough because husband bought a comfortable house for our family.

Back to the topics, think about it. Trust me, you will agree with me.

OH OH SHEILA !!

I love Sheila Majid since her album Lagenda. (not really big fan on 80-90's era tho) And.. Im in love infact....loving my new pendant from Royal Selangor by Sheila Majid! OMG! Its so simple yet catchy.. Thank you so much to Caven for your help!!



Lawa tak? Lawa tak? I like :-)
