HFW 4 - Vacation is what i WANT!!

hehee!!!
kalau boleh nak vacation everyday! but alas.. we have to make ends meet and belanja family at the end of the month.
so today's theme is VACATIONNNN! and last weekend i did have a little vacation with my sayang.

we went to JAPAN!

ohaiyo gozaimas minna!!

watashiwa Maria chan desss!

anatawa genki des ka?

huahuhauha!! is that japanese enough? =p

ok fine, i didn't go to Japan. i wish though! i went to Bukit Tinggi actually. hehe! thank you honey for taking me there!! =D

this is what i wore:

and here's the close up:

i was wearing Forever 21 blue shirt and long cotton vest, black skinnies, shawl pashmina tepi jalan, braided necklace from This & That, red pumps from Cotton On, and vintage sling bag.
oh and random bracelets too. 

very basic, yes i know, but it's comfortable. travelling to a destination for a vacation must be comfortable, in my opinion, yet still presentable for the public and specially the ones you're going with. in my case, i went to Bukit Tinggi with my dearest. so i wanted to look good for him and feel the satisfaction when he likes it. hehe! who doesn't? he may not say it to my face like "weyhhh, cantik dowh baju you! where did you buy it from?" (he doesn't even sound like that! just exaggerating =p) but when he appreciates the effort, i feel joy! =D

*joy*

so the question now is;

do you want know what it feels like to be a Japanese bebeh? 

not feeling it?

still not feeling it? (yakuza betul sayang ni!)

 yes, those are real koi fishes.

u better be feeling it now!! go to Bukit Tinggi and try on the Kimono! it's RM20 per rental. when can you ever wear a kimono? in MALAYSIA some more?! haha!

he does look japanese eh? its the contrary for me. i look so gangstahh. hahaa!!

okay sorry banyak gambar la this time. hehehe!! hope you like what i wore and got the gist of what to wear the next time you're going on a holiday trip! comfort is the key to confidence!
oh please do go to Bukit Tinggi. support our local destinations! a day trip should suffice as there aren't many things to do and see. but definitely a must-go!

take care loves! see you tomorrow!

TEEHEEE!!

HFW 3 - Girls just wanna have *whaattt??* FUNNN!!

jom joget joget and "WOO!" all about because i'm hanging out with you all!!!
hehehe!!

ok ok, so i actually wore the dress i won from Jezmine, as written in this POST, to go out with my darlings! padahal darling je. iaitu ibu.
haha!!

thank you to all my dear babes who gave your ideas at my post!! i implemented every idea and in the end, i thought this combination works! thank you again!!! you babes rock!

anyway, i'm wearing a peach shawl, flower pin, light pink long cardigan, OBB dress, red skinny waist belt from Dorothy Perkins, skinny jeans and grey heels.
nah , close up!

okay mata lebam tak boleh blaaaah. but so what. =p

and i meant that as a GOOD THING! =D
actually, a lot of people asked me how tall i am. why that question ek?

I am 164cm tall, approximately 5 feet 4 inches.

=B
is that tall?

i know this ensemble is simple, but i wear what i think is practical and feel comfortable in. sorry k if you think it's not as "WOW" as the other girls =B i have high metabolic rate, so i can't really wear too many layers. i'll sweat like crazy! =p

hope you like it though! and again, thanx for those who gave me brilliant ideas on how to wear this dress! i nak pakai pergi keje nanti. WOOHOO!

oh kejap kejap! wanna know something embarrassing tak? ok i was driving yesterday from serdang to damansara (at around 9pm) and at the tol, i turned the lights in my car on coz i couldn't see the change kan. tengah nak korek 60 cents ni! so after the toll, i forgot to turn it off! until i reached home!! the embarrassing part was, I WAS HEAD BANGING THE WHOLE WAY WHILE SINGING TO THE SONGS ON MY CD! lagu nak Incubus and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.. memang goyang la kereta. dah la TGH JAM!! it was literally at stand still! omg malu la.. kalau orang kat kete sebelah nampak i head banging, apa tak diorang ingat i bangang. haihhh.. =\
and i was in my hijab and all.. how sweet (insert sarcasm here)! i even did some dance moves. aihh!! if i was looking at myself, i would think i'm mental!
hahaha!!
anyways:

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha!!

HFW 2 - Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha!

Salaam!
the theme for today is "Celebrate Good Times".
the first thing i thought of when i read it, i had that song in my head. you know?

Celebrate good times, c'mon! it's a celebration~
yahooo!

lagu oldies. so what saya oldies. pakai pun vintage clothes. miau. hehe!

anyway, the theme meant celebrating Eid. this is what i wore to my friends' open house (his house is so beautiful!!). tadaaa~

Selamat Hari Raya!

yes, raya is gone, but Raya Haji is tomorrow!! be ready to stuff your face with meaty dishes, coz i know i will! haha!!

look at this picture. tak rasa cute ke? i was posing like whaattt and these two boys are posing THE SAME WAY! it's too adorable!! 

hahahaha!!

come on, you must think it's adorable too? kan kan kannnnn??
hehe!

this dark turquiose/teal colour is soo pretty! it's actually my bridesmaid kurung i wore for my cousin's wedding. who says you can't wear a fancy schmancy kurung on Raya?

i wore this black shawl because i thought it would contrast with the baju, hence shows off my facial features. my face ni kecik but the features besar! hehe!!

okay the tak best part about this kurung is that it creases easily. it's so obvious but still you can't deny it's a nice pair of kurung. hehe! for casual or for formal, boleh jeee! =D
i pakai ni simple simple je. takde la versace or juicy couture. setakat kain beli kat kamdar and beading cousin buatkan. =)

so hope you like this! i ada cerita nak cerita kat you all, but it will have to wait after HFW's done! hehe! =D

Selamat Hari Raya AidilAdha!! 

ps: HFW is NOT a competition. it's just SHARING our opinions and styles on fashion with hijab. if you don't like what we wear, fine, hop on to the next blog. if you like it, good! don't compare each of us with the other. we all have different styles. =)

thanks for supporting us darlings!

HFW and Abang

woohoo!!
Assalamualaikum, salam sejahtera, kepada anda semua, moga bahagiaa! (nyanyi, nyanyi!)

di hari yang indah, hari mulia,

saya nak post gambar 1st, sempena Hijab Fashion Week 2010~
hehe!!

sorry darlings sebab lama tak update! i have been busy with work and preparing for HFW. oh and i have made a video! ok itu nanti la. heheee.. u all ni.. silap silap, i vlog je terus since you all liked it. i couldn't believe how many of you watched it! kalau u suka, maka saya suka =D

so today's theme for HFW is "Money on My Mind", or simply work wear. since i am already working, this is what i wore la to work once upon a day.
thus:

so i was wearing a vintage top, which i bought at Bijou Bazaar. so sad its not around anymore!! kalau tak, i used to go there everytime!! cheap and cool stuff can be found easily. huuuu.. rindu bazaar.. oh and i was also wearing a high waist flare slacks from Forever 21, which i got during Sale. never EVER underestimate sale items! haha! oh of course, for shoes, i was wearing wedges from Vincci, given by my sayang. sweet kan dia? shoes are girl's best friend! =B

see the effects of flare pants? it will make your legs look longer!!

for all shawties in ze house, get a pair of high waist flare pants! it's definitely a plus for your wardrobe! hehehee.. =D

i know it's simple. takde la macam "WOWWWW COOL SIOT BAJU MINAHH NIIIIIIII!", but i am an engineer. keje pun naik turun production site, pegang benda2 berminyak and going out and about, etc etc. i just cant find myself ever dressing up to kill or to impress coz it's just not worth it! i pakai like this pun kira melawa gila kot. my colleagues only wear shirt and jeans! hahaha!

now on a different note!

TASHYA'S INK WONN!!!!

who and what it Tashya's Ink? noob. haha! it's a band's name and my brother is the bassist.

Belle got the story covered here! they entered a band competition called Malaysian Breakout Showcase held at Aswara, KL.

Alhamdulillah, they WON!! memang murah rezeki =D

despite the horrible incidents, like the guitar takde bunyi, the bass amp koyak, the drum pedal tercabut (and the drummer had to kick the bass drum throughout their performance!) on their performance, they still rocked it, and they were awesome!

thank you darlings for supporting my brother and the band! 

abang kesayanganku!!

ugly faces runs in the family..

that's all for tonite's show! thank you for tuning in to Maria is AWESOME! ok poyo. wahahaha!

peace!

oh oh, btw! i will posting EVERYDAY due to HFW. so i hope you guys will stay connected and i will so very much appreciate your support!

bear in mind that i'm not exactly hebat like the others.. =B tolong tunjuk ajar ok? kalau tak suka what im wearing, tell me! your opinions do matter =D

thanks peeps! muuuaaaahh!

When you least expect it, Life happens

life is very unpredictable.

life is definitely full of surprises.

i went to OBB last Sunday with Yana and her sister to collect my prize. and look what i gooooottt!! hik hik!

Yana's sis, Yana herself, and serabai ME!

yes!! it's a dress!!

it's so cute and when i had it on, i felt the need of being cute and sweet. haha! Thank you Jezmine!

i love it! but i do need some ideas on how to wear it. selama i pakai tudung ni, i NEVER pakai dress. 

the dress is above knee length and as u can see, it's sleeveless.

so all you fashion savvy bebehs, please give me some ideas!!!

i ni dah la ganas ganas and i don't know if i can pull of that cute-hello-kitty-peace-pouty-i-look-like-a-korean-artist look, know what i mean?

so help? please? pwwuuuueeeessseeee!!! told u i tak cute.. hehe!

another news i've received today is that i won the Contest Mortar Board!! i won second place!!

i won this awesome Rayban shades! oh and topup RM10! hehe! Thank you Edy!!

haaaaaaaa~ now i'm gonna feel so fly like a G6 with these awesomes. woohoo! can't wait to get it! =D

now i kinda noticed something too.. i have 120 followers! thank you soooo much darlings for following me and more importantly, for SUPPORTING me!

you've been reading my writings, left me comments, given me strength and reasons to write and share! i know i am not exactly gorgeous and cantik gila like them famous bloggers. i don't blog about my daily life. i don't share about what i eat or where i hang out. i don't review or critic about anything political or serious. i don't own awesome clothes.

heck, i don't know what is it about me that you all find interesting!! i just write suka hati i je la! hehee! =B

but thank you. THANK YOU!! meh sini Maria Sharapova nak peluk korang ni!

*arms open

mmmmmmhhh!!!! (tengah peluk la niiiii!)

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayang you all! hehe!

i know now is Finals season, so everyone yang sitting your final exams, GOOD LUCK! study smart and tawakal kepada Allah swt. kalau u dah put your best into your studies, insyaAllah you'll get the best out of it. =) amiiinn~

peace people!

ps: tips on how to wear the dress please! =D you rock!

Yoohoooooo!!

Sharing is Caring

Hello hello! Assalamualaikum!
Waalaikumussalam!
wassap maynnn!

ok dah la ek.
it has been a good week so far, alhamdulillah. what's more, i've got a couple of things i want to share!
suka tak?
tak suka sudah. i suka. hmph!
okay, sebenarnya tengah nervous..

why?

because, i nak tunjuk you something maaaa.
siapa kata you cannot mix leopard pattern with green cardigan with ribbons on it??
amik ni!

okay kan?  hahaha!! saje je sebenarnya nak share this one, with no particular reason, whether you like it or not. =p

ok, that's one thing.
another thing is, i have been asked by a few people about skin care. so i've made a video (because explaining it is so difficult!!) and i hope i don't look too ridiculous. please tell me i don't look ridiculous!!!

here's the video! and i hope you find it useful and entertaining. haha!



kih kih!! how is that? informative enough?
i would like to add that you should wear products that suits your skin. not necessarily the exact same as mine.
although, if you have serious case of acne, i strongly suggest Clinelle because it's a dermatological product. i've used the cleanser before this, and it worked! however!! once your acne subsides, change your cleanser to something mild. you don't want to menghakis kan your skin and make it more sensitive than evaaa!
okay? meh kita lompat sama sama. tengok sape lompat lagi tinggi. confirm it'll be me. hahahaha! sorry lari topic. told you i'm nervous!

oh oh! and kalau u think "omg, spiking gila minachi ni!!", ampun ya! i kalau dalam presenting or blogging mode, my english macam flowrate dia tinggi lebih than BM. so, sorry ek!!!

and lastly,

hik hik! i may not be as fashionable as those mentioned in the flyer, but i thought i could stand up for my fellow hijab-ians! (hijabians pun bolehhhhhh~) and since i'm working, it will be challenging, but apo nak kisah!
teehee!

hope you can support us in making this a fun experience!
love you bebehs! muamuahh!

oh oh!!!
ehem.

*Harry Potter soundtrack playing in the background.
i can't waittttt!!! who wants to come with me, put your hands up!! haha!


ps: after your daily routine, make it a habit to smile throughout the day! it's nature's biggest secret to youth. =) and sorry if this post macam aneh. i maluuuu sangat sebenarnya. video tu punya pasal. hahaha!

i cheated.

i'm sorry.. i tried to resist!

but how can i??  i'm only human.. a girl with girly feelings. a sucker for shoes and accessories. padahal takde kena mengena pun. but so what..

you see, the other night, i had dinner with my family. he was sitting at the table behind ours, and him and me were facing each other.
when i entered the restaurant, i already saw him actually, but i just kept my cool. i didn't want to succumb.

pastu, lahai.. duduk nak face each other lak kan. memang lemah la.

so masa i was eating, i saw him looking at me when i looked at him. pastu dia sengih sengih.

i sumpah i tak sengaja tersengih balik!

cepat cepat i tengok my mom and talked to her, but all the while my attention was at him.
he kept smiling at me!!
and because he kept smiling at me, i pun smile back la. to return the favour kan.
amboi!!! makin lebar ok his smile became!
and i couldn't help it. i smiled tunjuk gigi. SENYUM COLGATE OK!!

apa jenis manusia la saya ni.. i just can't help it! i smiled back to his adorable smile, and i felt soooo happy inside, i felt like hugging him, like i want to caress him!

and then my parents who sat opposite of me saw me smiling, and they turned around.
they looked at him.

they both said "awwwww!!! comelnya!!!!"

memang comel.
memang comel.

itu baby, sangaaaaaaaaaaaaat comel.


teehee!! =B
