Skincare Routine!

Assalamualaikum!

So, here it is!

I shared my skincare routine on Youtube daaahhhhh!

I hope it helps. Does it?

Entah la ek. Dah orang request, kita buat je laaa.

To be completely honest, i had this one really bad skin period.

It started when i was working as an engineer. I believe it was because of the environment. I was either in the office (air-conditioned and fully carpeted), or the manufacturing area (dusty and had flying particles/debris). My skin was rough, clogged, dry like crazy, my pores were obvious because i kept pressing out the blackheads, and pale. 

Despite eating healthy and regular exercises, my face was clearly showing otherwise.

It really annoyed me! So i thought that i should do facials every friday during the long lunch hours. 

And i did.

But after 2 facials, i didn't want to do it anymore. It was too much of a torture, both on my face and my money.

Then i thought of changing my skincare products.

Seriously... OH BOYYYY!!

I tried 'em all! The cheap ones, the expensive ones. GILA.

The expensive ones like dermalogica, clinique, even murad, did not do any good on my skin. 

The 'experts' (more like just good salesperson) told me that i should use so-and-so product because my skin is so-and-so. And me being me, i was too lazy and was in a rush to see immediate results, went ahead and spent a lot of money on it.

I'm not the kind that would try in a short period of time. When i try a new product, i will use it for as long as i could, just to make sure that i'm not hallucinating the results.

They all turned out to be huge disappointments. So then i tried the cheap ones. Lagi teruk for some reason. T___T

gambar masa nak kahwin, 2012. Even with makeup, you can still see the acne scars on my forehead. And those pores. Yeah. I had minimal makeup because i just didn't want to clog my already clogged pores. And because i just prefer this kind of makeup. Ihiks!

And then came the i-thought-was-the-right-answer!

COLLAGEN!

Fuh! It was the rave at one time, remember?

And i was raving along with it. Bahahaa!

I tried all sorts of collagen. Not that many la. I just tried a few brands. And yeah, some did work! For a while. Hmph.

I remember taking this one collagen drink, and after two weeks, my skin did feel better and all. And so i continued on. But after a month, ok.. Apasal my skin cam.. back to kusam?

Takpe la.. Try je lagi. Maybe hormon tak betul sekarang.

After 2 months, 3 months. 4 months - eik? Vat iz diz??

Tak guna punya 'collagen'... It was only short term thing. Wuuuaaaa!!

Not only was my skin became dry again, i got all sorts of unwanted side effects and that was the end of my 'shortcut'.

So i got so annoyed at how much i've spent just to look 'radiant', 'young', 'fair', and blablabla.

After years, yes, YEARS, of all this wastage, i decided to go back to basic.

I know for a fact that my skin do not jive with cream and gel cleanser. For my dry skin, they made me either oily like crazy, or drier like crazy.

So i avoided those. 

I need toner because after my skin dries (after washing with cleanser), my skin feels weird- like tight. You get that? I do. After the toner only my skin feels lighter.

I know i have to wear moisturiser because to put on sunblock without it, makes my skin sting.

I found Shu Uemura oil cleanser to work best with me because of this one time when this lady gave me a sample packet for me to get rid of my makeup with. It's an oil cleanser, but it serves as a really good makeup removal too. The after feeling after washing up-that was when i knew.. i found THE ONE. Drama gila. Bahahhaaa =p

I tell ya, that one bottle cost a LOT. I think it was RM300++, but i've been using that one bottle for more than a year now, and there're still more. I think next year baru beli new bottle kot. 

The other products, simple and basic je. Alhamdulillah, using these products and with this routine, my skin is way better, and my pocket money pun bigger since i don't have to spend so much.

Now, my advice is, just get a good cleanser - for all you dry skin-ers. Oily skin, acne-prone skin, i'm so sorry, i don't know what works best for you...

Whatever your skin type is, I hope you don't have to spend so much on your skin care products. It might take time for our skin to heal, but the slow way is (sometimes) the best way.

Unless you have a big budget, then go ahead! Face treatments and dermalogists can provide you with good solutions.

=)

Here's my most recent vainshot *muntah kuning*

Sorry, but just nak show, i ni memang irregular-makeup-wearer, but i believe in good skincare. I am happy being barefaced and all, and i am grateful to Allah SWT for making it easy for me. 

Anyway, without further ado, here's my Skincare Routine video! Enjoyyyyyyyy!

Sorry muka kuning.

The lighting was off, but i was too lazy to do anything about it.

Ihiks!

secara tiba tiba

assalamualaikum!


semalam pergi forum kat UIA pasal #selfie.
ada sentuh sikit pasal video youtube.

harini cakap ngan kawan pasal video youtube.

tetibe.

terbuat video.
kat youtube.

'-___-

ingatkan dua tahun tak buat video, rupanya baru setahun.
ceit.

pastu sangat random.
quality webcam je.
bahahahaha!

should i continue making videos?
let me know.
kalau takmo bagitau pun takde hal. haha!

selamat pagi!
(sleeping really late these days. huhuuuu! nanes)

kiyomi, kiyomi!

assalamualaikum!


so i know this is the era of kpop.
walaupun ramai yang terjebak tapi i'm one of those yang masih tak reti nak menjinakkan diri.

tapi takleh deny la diorang memang cute. hehe!

anyway, since my last video, (yang kite cakap banyak tuuu), ada la pulak orang request buat kiyomi. kat twitter la, kat fb la.

mula mula macam pelik la, sebab ramai request benda yang sama, for the first time!
dulu ada la jugak request harlem shake la, buat oppa gangnam parody, tapi this is seriously the first time i dapat requests yang sehati sejiwa!

uolls komplot ke?
ahahahak! =p

so i research la sikit kiyomi ni.

ada banyak version, ada kiyomi, ada gwiyomi, ada gwiyouemi, sampai i pun don't know which is the right spelling, but whatever it is, they're all doing the same thing.

that 40+seconds of cuteness.

i pun terjatuh la cinta pada those girls yang super cute!
tapi motip la sangat aku nak buat sebab i know myself well enough that i can't be cute like that!

tapi sebab i think the song is super cute, and i thought, oh well, apa la salahnya. maka lahirlah video ajaib ini =p

checks outs thes videos heres: KIYOMI

just so you know, i don't make the video to diss kpoppers. just made this for pure fun =D
my version is seriously awkward tapi oh well, that is as cute as i could get, and it's so brief that i can forgive myself for being that awkward. hehe!

enjoys!
oh and kalau uolls nak buat, sila lah!
for fun =p

salam!

just a thought, if it helps =)

assalamualaikum wonderbears!

wonder because we alls likes to wonders innit.
bears coz we alls likes bears innit.

i tells yewhhh!

ok mars, dah.

ehems.

so this is a bit awkward. posted a video few days ago and completely forgotten about it.
now that i remember it, kena la explain sedikit sejarah pembikinan video ini.

alkisah.

seorang wanita berumur 25 tahun, mempunyai bakat dalam menyejukkan hati teddy bear. ok dah stop!

ehemmmmmm!

so benda ni is something that i've been thinking about for the longest time. it's about us taking pride on being a muslim.
not that it's wrong, but we could always do it in a better manner.

Surah Al-Ma'idah, ayat 3:

This day, i have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.

perfect.
straightforward, and understandable.

Allah chose Islam as our religion.
you and i, whether we're born into the religion or brought into it, Allah chosen for us this path.

patutkah kita kata "aku bangga doh aku muslim."?
tak.

patutkah kita kata "aku beragama islam sebab aku nak."?
tak.

Allah berikan kita hidayah, nikmat, rezeki, ilmu, keupayaan, kekuatan, semuanya! Dia beri apa yang kita perlukan, pada masa yang Dia tahu adalah the best time, and the best amount of it!
kita je as humans with brains that can think and consider, contemplate, wonder, think and analyse, we're the ones who will in the end make the choice whether to accept His Gifts, or ignore it.

it's like how my mom hints me about stuff.
masa nak prepare for the wedding, she'll give me options.
option A and option B, let's say. and she will jeling jeling at the option she thinks best, eventhough it is up to me to choose.
and because i trust her, i just ikut je la mana dia jeling tu =p

makes her happy, and of course made us all happy in the end =)

it's like that with life.
we're given choices because maybe, just maybe, that's how Allah wants to see how taat we are to Him.

back to being proud of being a muslim.

i've read so much stuff about how pride will turn into ego. and ego turns to riya', as we must remember, makes all of our efforts of gaining pahala hilang.
pride -> ego -> riya'

The Prophet  said: "He who has in his heart the weight of an atom of pride shall not enter Paradise." 

-Muslim

oh sedihnya!!
nauzubillah min zalik.

so that's why i suggested to just make a change at the words we choose to describe ourselves, not just religiously.
even if it's a good thing, we always have a choice of something better.
does that make sense? hehee..

in sha Allah Taala.

Allah knows our intention, Allah knows we meant well. but with abundance of knowledge just waiting for us to grab it, it would be ignorant if we said "oh i've heard of that, tapi tak nak buat pape about it sebab takde orang kata i should."
or something like that =p

syukur is the best feeling anyway right! so lebihkan perasaan syukur! 

Alhamdulillah!

alhamdulillah i am a muslim. =')

and because i love you all so much, and i want us all to be in Paradise (amiin!), that's why i wanna share about this!

let's be neighbours in Syurga Firdaus =D

hehe!

ok so here's the video!



and i'm awkward liddat.
sorry video tak seberapa tapi just amik apa yang patut =)

kalau ada kesalahan, that's all due to my own kekhilafan, kalau ada yang baik dan betul, alhamdulillah syukur, itu semua dari Allah Taala.

salam!

ps: awat ni ramai dok salah paham niiii.

simple je. 

just be thankful. 

as a muslim ke, as a girl ke, for getting straight A's in SPM ke, for having the fanciest car in the world ke, for having PS3 ke, for having Coco Chanel as your best friend ke, whatever in the world!

if we can be thankful so something as simple as religion, then it'll be easier for us to be thankful for other things.

itu je my suggestion.

wallahualam.

cubaan baru

assalamualaikum warga dunia!

earthlings and catlings,
i can't sing.

one of the rarest things i did the other day was karaoke-ing. with, le hubbeyh.

it was so random!
we just wanted to go out and buy burger ramly, tapi tersasar and went karok instead. gahaha!

it was much more fun too! sebab it was with my husband kan, bukan ngan orang lain so i memang tak hold back la =p

i tried to sing nicely, but.. hahaha! thinking about how i sounded pun buat i rasa nak tergelak. yes, i laugh at myself a lot! pihihii =p

we sang alicia keys nya song while laughing at the lyrics, and also adele's set fire to the rain!
and we did rapping songs a lot sebab it's easier for our throats.
challenging though, but it was fun =)

after all that karaoke-ing session, i still don't like karaoke.
tapi boleh la sekali sekala demi menghiburkan suami =)
i love making him laugh. ihik!

so anyway, another story to add on this beautiful friday,
not much of a story, but just news? i guess?

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..




awkward maria is always awkward.

i'm trying to get myself back into this youtube thing. to be honest, i dah tak se-excited dulu. i have ideas, but with the laptop thing, and now with the new comp nak biasakan with the new editting software, and the time and blablablaaa..
i just don't know how to restart again.

and i sorta don't know if i should even restart.

let's just be frank here, everyone (including me) find there are so many other vloggers yang doing so much better at delivering good messages.
which led me to feel "why should i then?"

but just when i decided to retire from making videos, more people kept asking me about it. i have people interviewing me about it even when i told them that i don't make videos anymore.
and yang paling pelik to me, is how many adults (parents-aged) i've met told me that they want me to keep on making videos.

serious wa kata sama wa, wa sangat peliks. sebab wa tak rasa wa layak.
asked hubs about it and he said i'm probably not feeling secured about myself.
ye la kot =p

so here it is.

all i wanna do is spread goodness, share goodness, and be goodness. haha!
i told myself that if i wanna see the good in the world, i have to be good.

and here i am =)

me, trying to fight back all my insecurities and i'm determined to win!
all dengan izin Allah =)

and my silly lil' video.
and me, being myself, as myself as i can get when im in front of a camera =p

love myself,
me.

*eh jap. i buat post ni to myself ke about myself?
hahaha!

pape la.

peace.

*let me know if you have any suggestions! will take them into consideration =)

Hijab tutorial!!

assalamualaikum!!!

kalau tak jawab dosa, kalau jawab, uolls sayang iolls! iolls terharu.

hahaha!

for a quite some time, i've been getting requests for another hijab tutorial.
most requested for labuh style, which honestly, i felt like "why? kacang gila kot. you just panjangkan the depan part la"
until one of my friends actually asked me herself:
"maria, ni style apa lak you pakai?"

"ha? style biasa i je la. nape? nampak lain?"

"ha ah. sebab labuh kot. camane you pakai ek?"

zasssssssssssss

that's when i realised that ok fine, maybe i should make a tutorial. i pun buat survey kat facebook and the responses are overwhelming.

so i did it!

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

hope your 12minutes stay at the video was beneficial =B

thank you for watching! oh btw, i threw out my first hijab tutorial. auratku tak ditutup ngan elok.. iolls malu..

ok now!! allow me to repeat my advice in the video about why we should cover the chest area.
nowadays it's not safe anymore. we've read on the news about how girls are getting kidnapped, murdered, raped here and there. it's a scary world i tell ya!!

so we need to protect ourselves. of course we need to have gadgets or some martial art skills and whatnot, but on appearance pun we have to take care.
don't wear clothes that will "mengundang" leering looks from men.

if one thing i'm sure of, it's men's weakness for women. it's already stated in the Quran!!

Surah Ali Imran (3:14)
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return.

so.. why cari pasal? we can look good of course, we can be fashionable or sporty or whatever, but we should know to what extend.
our assets (both front and back, top to bottom) can make men get lustful. the more we jiggle them in their faces, the more likely they want to 'attack' you.

don't go looking for trouble!

maybe it's because i'll be getting married, so i have this thinking that only my husband can see my precious gems, from the root of my hair to my pinky toes. haha! what a way to call them =p
anyway, i want only my husband to see my perfection and flaws. i find it insulting if other people sees them..
i want to be exclusive to only ONE! bertuah husband i nanti. ecewaahh!! =p

in sha Allah, Allah SWT will protect us if we put our trust in Him and put on efforts to protect ourselves too.

i have so much more to write about but i think this is long enough!!!!
ok uolls!!

Ramadhan Mubarak!!
and please forgive me for all my wrongdoings. to err is human, but still. i need to ask for forgiveness. tak cukup ilmu kan. still trying to improve. in sha Allah.. heeee.. =B

salam!

ps: can you imagine me being a bag designer? will share the story soon!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Taking haters lovingly

Assalamualaikum wbt, ukhti & akhi sekalian!

how gangsta am i? i've blogged quite frequently lately!
*claps to myself*

anyway, i've had time to make a video the other day.
yes, dah nampak video kat bawah terus click play pastu tak baca kan mende i tulis ni kaaannnnn!!!
hoho!

ha, tengok la. pastu baca sikit apa i tulis kat bawah yaaaa! ada cerita di sebalik bideo. thanks! =)



ok here are the reasons why i made this video:

1. because i get tweets about how to handle haters
2. because i get messages about how to handle haters
3. because i feel like i owe haters an apology and give them my thanks

ok? so yeah. i've been receiving messages about this and please peeps, i tak sedih sebab haters!
i'm not sad, depressed nor hurt by the haters! if i looked sad, it's probably coz i was sad at myself (for personal reasons which i wont story mory here la. heeee..)

i wrote in the description of this video too about how these 'haters' are actually my saviours, but i guess people don't read that bit. hahaha! oh well. my bad gak la sebab i didnt mention it myself. i was talking spontaneously kan. takde script mende pun. buahahaha! =p

i can't believe though, how many people asked me about this. and i macam "kamaaannn, takkan la ramai sangat orang ada haters neeehhhhh?"
like i said in the video too, there are 2 types of 'haters'.
one species just wanna troll.
one species just dont know how to give their honest brutal opinions nicely, but they mean well.
=)

kids, teens, and young adults, 

why so serious?

my mom used to slap me when i did something wrong and scolded me, but i love her more for that. if she hadn't done that, i'll probably be some messed up person now. before you say things about my mom, i totally deserved all that coz i was a very stubborn child.
same applies to these 'haters'.
they might be very angry or something at you, but there must be a reason why they're like that. probably you did something wrong but you're just too proud to see it.

drop that ego!

chill and learn je.
i memang la ada terasa sometimes, i am human after all. a girl, with feelings, with harry potter bantal and cats. and dresses and flowers. motip? ok, you get the gist. =p
but oh well. we can't win over all hearts.

okie dokie?
capisce?
capsicum?
milo ais? teh tarik? neslo?
pergi mamak, cakap hello. sekian pantun dua kerat.

so dah dah la k nak down down coz of 'haters'. if you happen to have haters yang jealous of you or whatever, then stay away from that person la. if the person cari pasal ngan you, you just bagi dia jumpa pasal yang baik about you. how's that for an awesome advice? you just have to trust me, coz i'm an engineer. hahahahaah!! (sorry ter-9gag jap)

chill k?
the world needs us to keep on improving. and to my 'haters' who happen to read this, you need to improve too =)

thank you all!
peace.

less motip, please?

assalamualaikum!

wassap homie?

when i'm home with my family, i'm always like in a different world. i'll be distracted almost everytime. and it's not because i'm always on the phone ke apa, but i just like to khayal.
thinking about things i want to do, places i want to go, even thinking about ideas to make videos. haha!
i've mentioned many times too that i want to make videos, it's just that it's kinda hard when my days and hours are mostly wrapped around things that are more important. so making videos is not on top of my priority list. plus, recording myself, editing them myself, lari sana, lari sini, penat wo..

eh lari cite lak.
ahak!

so anyway, my mom always got angry with me coz i haven't been doing well on tasks she wants me to do (and they're small tasks lak tu!), and i thought, "I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE LIKE THIS!"
kan kan kannn?!
thus i made this video. AHAK!
in hopes that i (and sape2 la ada masalah macam ni) can get more focused at small stuff as well as the big stuff.
know what i'm sayin' homie?




less "MOTIP?!?!", more "OHHHH YEAHHH!"

motto of the day. hahahaha!

oh btw, if you're wondering where to get the blazer i vas vearing, get it from EDZ coz they're awesome liddat.
haha!

peace out yaw. imma be less motips.

ps: pendek gila video, but i hope it's good enough. *nebes*

something awesome this way comes!

Assalamualaikum~

here's me being random. because i can. buahahahahahaa!! =p

let's chat..

..at *insert social web*, that is!!

Assalamualaikum.

KALAU INI SAYA, SILA TEGUR

KALAU INI ANDA, SILA BUAT APA YANG PATUT.

iaitu berubah

dan minum milo ais dan makan nasi lemak bungkus dalam opis.

terbaik.. 

*lunch hour update. whadya expect?

tudungs are from TudungPeople (yang brown and green sarung tu) and the green hoodie from Calaqisya. awesome shawls you can get from them, i promise. =D  

note:

1. ya, i nampak berisi sikit. bila nampak kecut, orang jealous. bila nampak kembang sket, orang mengata. vat iz dis man? i iz normal no matter vat veight i iz! heheee =p juz kidding. 

2. ya, i know this video isn't like what you probably expect. i just thought that maybe we should remind each other to keep more in touch with the reality instead of the cyber world =)

3. please don't jadikan habit all this "u follow me, i follow u back" or "please add me at my *insert social web*!". why are you asking for people to stalk you? it's weird. anyone can stalk you if they want to, don't have to force them to do so. peace. =)

Have a good day!

Who wins?

Lahai, HAI!

Salam all!

i have been on video hiatus for a while now. i mean, i haven't rambled la kan. the last video i made yang pasal Assalamualaikum kalau tak jawab dosa kalau jawab sayang (which already have a facebook page, HERE, which i DID NOT create, but it's awesome! hehehe!!), pun i buat sememeh sememeh hingus meleleh selekeh melekeh because i did it out of pressure.
haha!

so this time around i took my time making this video. about a month juga ada~~ hahahahaha!
issue simple je.
about comparing.
why? because comparing ni, secara tak langsung involves ego.
and in some unfortunate situations, it will lead into an argument. kalau tak pun, someone will feel tak puas hati. know what i mean?
while sharing your stories is good and all, we should try not to potong line orang yang nak bercerita, and cakap as if we had it better or worse.
tak best kot bila nak cite, then someone potong line, then you lupa where your story got cut off. kaaaaannnnn?
this takes off people's credibility of being 'a good listener'. so takyah bajet 'i'm a good listener' when you only want to be heard. =p

apa apa pun, gemuk ke kurus, miskin atau kaya, cantik atau kurang cantik,
bersyukur la wei.
at least we can see, we can smell, taste, touch, walk, talk, laugh, and soooo much moreeeee!!
that's why we're gifted! =D
alhamdulillah~

aiseyman, kat sini bebel, kat video pun bebel.
hehee! sorry ya!

so ini video nya~

YAY TO THE UGLIEST VIDEO THUMBNAIL EVAAAAAHHHH!!!

HAHAHAHAH!

so yeahh, hope this benefits you!! =D

for both vlogging and blogging

salam =)

thus, the product: What to eat

so if you were wondering why da heck i talk like an African sesat and Brits wannabe, simple.

because i was freaking nervous and it was the 1st few things that popped in my mind.

ok?

hehahuhi!

can't watch it?

see it here

panjang gila ok this interview!

siap ada "Advertisement" in between.

macam macam ada la!

hope you all enjoyed it!

ps: why my split personalities are African American and British peeps? becaussseeeee i have cousins in UK and USA. i always imitate them so their accents and slang got stuck lorr. teeeheeheheheee.. =p

What to eat?

IT'S OUT!

hehehehhe!! malu pun ada after watching this video.

it was COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS, because i didn't think i would do something like this.

so yeah.

ingat senang ke nak belakon sorang sorang spontaneously?

hmph!

editting, shooting, and everything la was done by 1tube.my crew!

i hope you all enjoy it! and support 1tube.my =D

this is only Part 1!

Part 2 with Abe Big Ben will come soooooonn~~

so stay tuned again! 

hehe!

Word of the Day: Considerate

so a few days ago, i was reminiscing on my internship days which was what.. 2 years ago? omg. rinduuuu!!!

ok anywayyyssss,

i did my internship in KL.

so everyday, i'd park my car at Kelana Jaya LRT station, hop on the train till KLCC, and then walk about 1000miles so i can see you, tonite (ting ting ting ting ting bunyi piano lagu 1000miles by whatsernameiforgot).

in the lrt, i hardly ever got to sit down because it's always full and when there's a vacant seat, i usually just leave them be.

let them old and more in need of the seat sit.

but then, many many times, i saw people younger than me, sanggup berebut for a seat.

zaman noob i dulu, i too sibuk nak berebut seat. doesnt matter where la. in the lrt ke, bus ke, anywhere where there're seats, i wanna sit. that was when i was not reminded to be thoughtful of others. 

but as i grew up, i realised that i am young. i am able. i am fortunate to have strong limbs.

so i have absolutely no excuse to say that i'm more tired than everybody else, or i deserve to sit or whatever.

so that's how i came about this video.

as a reminder to you youngsters, which doesnt necessarily means budak sekolah sahaja. you feel young? then you're a youngster.

be kind to others, be thoughtful, be considerate. 

IN PUBLIC PLACES!

i think later later i'll make a video of being considerate in a different scenario. heeeee! =D

ps: if these people whom you've helped didnt show any signs of appreciation, then biarlah! why should you be bothered?

you wanna help kan? 

should be ikhlas isn't it? so whether or not these people acknowledge it, don't worry. Insyallah Allah SWT does.

=)

peace.

Karok, Karaoke, Kareoke

well well well.

- is duffy's new song. have you heard it yet? hehehehe!

anyway! i've been MIA from the cyberworld for quite some time. so i apologise to those who have been contacting me via facebook, twitter, chatbox, and comments.
it's not that i'm being a diva or anything, i just have been extremely busy with work and everything else!
plus my laptop crashed, so i had to rely on my phone.
huhu..

sorry ya y'all.

if you really need to contact me, perhaps you could tweet me at @mariaelenazarul
insyallah i'll try to reply my soonest!

*ehem*so i made a video. bahahahaha!! (nervous laugh okayh)
it's just some random topic that went through my head at the time.

i don't know if you notice it as i have, but i realised that a looooootttttt of people LOVE karaoke-ing! or cara orang melayu kate, karok.
kan kan kannnn??

ramai kot suka karok!

tapi saya tidak sangat.. hence this video. tak tau la if ada orang feel the same way about this as i do.
hehehehe!! =B

Note that i DON'T mean to offend anyone when making this video!
chill ek! hehe!! =D it's just my perspective. heeee!




again, i'm sorry if i offended anyone. sowiiieeeeee!!! (attempt nak buat cute)
also!! sorry if i've been sombong for the past few-i-dont-know-how-long. i just have been really busy trying to survive =) --- try to understand that i'm working now. not just lepaking. though i'd love to. hehe!

thank you for watching!

jom chill.

ps: do read this post! it's by my babe Zainatun and she's got points. it's about our malaysian community nowadays! read it here!

pps!: that shawl - the blue/black shawl is from MaladyCouture, called Taze!
        that inner - the grey one that i wore underneath is from AyunarBiz!
do check them out! they have awesome collections! =D

Second hand drivers

this past few weeks have been tough for me, physically, mentally and emotionally.
and my stress level have been up many notches to the point i felt like i should just buy a flight ticket to New Zealand and go skydiving.
but alas, i can't. banyak la sangat duit i kan. hahaha! aaaaand running away from all this problems won't solve anything. an escapism wouldn't make all the stress less stressful.
so i cope.
i get on with life. i face what needs to be faced, and alhamdulillah, i feel like i'm back again =D

boleh hurray? hurray laaa!
hehe!

so yeah, i've been holding back from making videos because i need to gather myself.
now that i'm a working person, i can't afford to get attached to the internet. reality is, i have so many responsibilities and commitments to handle.

but but buuuuuuut, if i live on with life thinking of all my commitments and stuff, it'll be too boring!

and so, here's a video for you drebars(drivers) and second hand drebars! TIBA TIBA! but yeah, i thought i should share this because i, as a driver, often hate driving because of this! kan best ada orang volunteer to drive me around everywhere.. hehehehehe!!! =B






ps: DON'T TEXT OR CALL WHILE DRIVINGGGGGGG!!!!!

currypuff rocks!

Lontong + PMS

i wrote about my parents long time ago, on how they like to make up their own lyrics to songs on the radio (coz they're cool that way). and now i just realised, i am just like them too!

know the song What's My Name by Rihanna?

there's a part in the song where the lyric went
"hey boy i wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me"

well, the first thing i heard was
"hey boy i wanna see if you can go lontong with a girl like me"

i know lontong doesn't make sense!! but if you hear her properly, it does sound as if she was saying lontong!! kan kan kannnn?!? or am i the only one who thinks so?
demmmm..
and everytime i wanna sing that part, i'm reminded by my cute Tokmak who makes great lontong. i love you tokmak comel! =D

so okayy. i made a video agaiiinnnn~~
seriously aren't you bored of me already? hahaha!! well i discovered that more and more people are vlogging now! including our dear Hunny Madu! do check her out and support her!

now this video is made for those who aren't aware of PMS/Pre Menstrual Syndrome!
fyi, if you don't know what menstrual is, it's period. as in, girl having period. i don't want to sound inappropriate, but that's exactly it la. heee.. =B
hope you enjoy it!



before that, i know my examples are just of me "talking" to Dato', it's just that if u think about it, we usually PMS like crazy to those nearest to us! i thought of "talking" to my mom but i think it'll look rude. so yeah.
hope you can understand!

so what do you think?
did you go lontong?


ps: the scarf and inner are given from my friend! if you like it and interested to buy, you can visit her at SugarScarf!

i'm cool that way

HELLOOOOOO MY DEAR ATMOSPHERE THAT IS THINNING FROM GLOBAL WARMINGGGG!!

ok. *ehem*


so i've been quite after my accident. but i've met my friends over the weekend. haha!! just trying to say that, I AM HEALTHY AND NORMAL! woohoo!! *high five*

ok. *ehem*


so i've made another video.
and to be honest, when i get comments from some babehs about them liking my videos, i don't know what is it that you like about it. SERIOUSLY!

like, which video are you talking about? when i watch my videos, i honestly felt bored. haha!
so which video is it that makes you LOL, and ROFL, and LMAO, and WTF, and HIMYM, and LALA, etc?

maybe i should do a survey.. oh well.

here's the video!!! i'm a bit nervous though..



EHEM! sorry for the poor sound quality!!!
i don't have proper tools to make this okaayyy! but i do hope you guys enjoy this. heeee.. let me know ok? i'd like to hear your opinions =)
