Annual Dinner 2014

A dinner party is not complete without a visit to the restroom. And pictures from the event (you don't always dress up, you deserved it). And. And. Stalking pictures of strange random guy you never seen.

And OOTD.

Pictures taken by bibik. Please excuse her.

I'm wearing Aisha wrap dress from Love to Dress.

I hate it when my friend is right

Talking about jodoh, future, the one, is endless.
Expectations changed, dreams uphold, fantasies remained.
Uncertainties being discussed. What ifs questioned.

I had this conversation of 'what if the man is taken?' 'do you believe in polygamy?' with a friend.
The default answer would be no but of course the future is too far to be told, yet too near to avoid.
So we change the situation.

What if he was once married?
Okay.

What if he was once married with a kid?
I said I take it as long as it's a boy which means, I don't have to share love with other girls, and I don't have to be worried of providing him his off-springs.

I can choose to give birth or not.
And then she went NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I'm not sharing my man with anybody.
He's not gonna get the 'Oh I have to do this, she's the mother of my children.' privilege.

I hate to admit she's right until I saw this, I can totally agree.

Sigh. I hate it when my friend is right.

Educated

A friend of mine shared a picture of her and her husband with caption '4 years together'.
This couple I knew is in the longest run of a couple who wanted a child so bad.

I didn't want to read the comments afraid I won't like what I'd be seeing.
'Bila lagi nak bertiga?'
But to my surprise, all the comments were all wishing the couple well. Alhamdulillah.

I guess the public is now a bit educated. Or that she has filtered her friends well along the line.
Whichever, it works.

Once a friend told me, surprisingly, during last raya, she didn't receive much of Bila Lagi questions. Neither did I.
Maybe all those quotes sharing on Instagram finally work!

All in good time; believe in Allah's rezeki and plan.

The problem with life

The problem with life is people take simple thing seriously.
Taking light entertainment seriously. Swearing on Akademi Fantasia like why?
Or take on people who love selfies.
Or people who chose to eat alone.

One thing I love when driving around with my girl Saa is that we never really care if we got lost because we know we would eventually find the way back.

Some people, just can't.
They just can't differentiate if the issue needs attention or not.

Chill.

World Coffee Day

That's me, I'm fueled by coffee, my blood type is coffee, I can't function well in a day when I don't get coffee.

I can sleep well right after coffee, my heart beats just fine with coffee, I'm all about coffee.

Murah, mahal, neskafe, latte, kopi o, kopicino, cappucino, frappucino, I take it all.

If you don't know I love coffee, you don't know me well, you don't know me at all.

Today is a happy day, free coffee, buy 1 free 1, all about coffee. I live for a day like this.

Happy World Coffee Day!

#HeForShe

It took me about 4 days of seeing this everywhere online to watch this. It gives me chills, she received standing ovations. Maybe she didn't write the speech herself but she delivered it very well. We could hear her voice trembled and she was all nervous but the job was well done. How old is she again? She made me feel so small.



I had a chance to attend a Gender Equality workshop myself last week, it was held by the HR of my company in conjunction of Diversity week. I was only there for free food but later, I found myself getting involved in the discussion.



I could say that it is true how they say every education starts at home, even for this huge matter. To be part of the workshop made me realized how lucky I am to be in a family that treats women nothing less than men, because in same place in this world, there are still people receiving bias because of their gender.



So thank you Mama and Ayah, for letting me fix my car when it's broke down, and for letting my brothers to wash their own dishes (albeit not all the time) because these small actions, contribute.



Now, when are men going to fight for Gender Equality? It would be nice if comment like 'He can cook better than a woman' will never been said anymore one day.

Pictionary

We were playing Pictionary one night (we == me and my cousins) and then I had to draw -- ICICLE.
I had no idea what is this (I figured out later) so I decided to draw bits by bits.

Like Cicle, sounds like circle, bicycle, and I is you know, iPad, iPhone. Haha.

So i drew, nobody got it ofcourse, especially I don't how to draw iPad.
So when I said, it's iPad, I, from I-CICLE geddit??
My cousin went like, "OH MY GOD YOU COULD HAVE DRAWN EYE!! EYEEEE = I!!"

and then we all laughed, real hard, (who wouldv'e thought of an iPhone?)
and she said, ahh so that's you, right. You have the easy way out but you go the furthest way you know how.

So maybe the right guy has always been in front of you.

Ahhh passing judgement from Pictionary now are we???

well, for all I know, time is up.
