Nuffnang Featured Blogger

I was surprised to know when Nuffnang called me last month, and said I am the Nuffnang Featured Blogger for the month of April 2014! I mean, I know I rarely update this blog nowadays (blame the husband! hehee :p), so when they informed me on that, I was quite surprised that they would still feature me on their page, being a bad blogger that I am! hahah. But really, what a nice thought! I'm so honored! Thanks guys!

Read more on it here! :)


XOXO,

Featured in Harian Metro

I just got my E-day photos from my photographer today...and while I was sorting out the pictures into my photo album in my laptop, I saw these photos of me in the newspaper...which I totally forgot I had them! haha. - You know, the one that I went for the photo shoot that I told you guys last time.

I've been meaning to put it up on my blog actually, but I guess I was so busy preparing my E-day and lost track already which one to blog first. haha.. But anyhow, here it is! I was featured in Harian Metro last month.. 

Just some intro of who am I and what do I blog about..hehe

Click on the picture to read..

Thanks Harian Metro for featuring my blog! I had a good time that day! ;)


P/s: I was chosen as one of the subject/blogger for the new TV program by TVi (Astro 180) called the Blogger Voice. Will be covering one of their episodes on Beauty/Fashion. I have already did the shooting...and now I'm SO nervous to see myself on screen! haha. It'll be aired after Raya



XOXO,
Shazzy.

New Look

Did a little revamp on the blog. Changed the layout and settings a bit last night. I was bored with my old blog template/layout, fonts, etc. It has been about two years now that I haven't update or change anything about this site. I've been meaning to do so for months and months actually, but never got the time to do it because I'm no HTML geek. So...doing all these codings definitely gotta take a lot of time for me.

So anyway last night with my free time, I decided to revamp this blog by changing the look and feel of it. It's not 100% done yet though. I get confused easily with the CSS codings and whatnot! LOL. - I spent 3 hours trying to put all this together! haha! (Mannn, I should have taken my IT class more seriously last time when I was in UIA ;p )

Anyhow, now that it's 80% done, I'm not sure if I like it or not. What do you think? Is it better than my old look... Or you like this one? Hmm..maybe later I'm gonna try some other look. Or maybe not? - I'm too tired and dizzy looking at the codings! haha. So for the time being...let's just use this lah k whether you like it or not :p

Until my next post! See ya!



XOXO,
Shazzy.

Photoshoot at NSTP

I had fun at NSTP's office last Tuesday, doing a photo shoot and a little interview with them. Me/my blog was chosen to be featured in their Blog of the Week column or something like that, for their Harian Metro paper.. Oh, I feel so honoured! Thank you for choosing my blog, guys! ;)

So the sweet gal, Miza interviewed me that day at their office... It was my first time there. The place is hugeeeee, I tell you!! hehe. I didn't know Berita Harian, NST and Harian Metro is under the same company... and now, they are under Media Prima pulak..

Anyways..we chatted quite awhile and she asked me quite a lot of questions regarding my blog - When did I started blogging, what do I blog about...yadda yadda yadda... hehe. Just some pengenalan about me and my blog la basically..

Then, we had a photo shooting session...

Didn't bring much props to the studio for the photo shoot. Just my laptop, which I almost lost that day! - I accidentally left it tepi jalan...while answering a phone call! Goshh..so careless!!! That's what happened when you have a lot of things on your mind! Sigh.. T___T

(Thank God for the sweet abang guard who took care of it and kept it for me!!! God bless youuuuu! I don't know what would I do if I have lost it foreverrrr... All my work, memories, research stuff are in there! Menangis akuu kalau hilang! tskkk..)

So anyways... the photo shooting were not that long. I think it was around 30 minutes only! Unlike the photo shoot I did with Utusan which took us about 3 hours! hehe. But that one because I changed my outfit..and then went to a few places for the photo shoot some moree.. haha. But it was so fun! (I mean...I love taking pictures, if you don't know it already! LOL ;p )

Yes I love taking pictures. Howeverrrr..... I can only do my same old, same old, boring pose! hahah. That's my pose every morning in front of the mirror, taking my Outfit Of The Day / What I Wear Today post on Instagram! LOL. Forgive me, I don't know any other pose..so that usual one will do, ok?! (I mean I knowww them...but I know I won't look as good like my usual pose! haha ;p)

Ready.. 1, 2, 3...

Strike a pose and smile!!! 

*flashes*

The column will be out next week! I reaaaallly hope they chose a good picture of me... haha. Ok lah, wanna write on SK II next. Stay tune! Ciowww! ;)

XOXO,

Shazzy.

Thank you Utusan Malaysia! :)

When I was a teenager (around 14 to 15 years old), I've always dream of appearing on a cover of a magazine or something! HA HA ;p And little did I know, 10 years later, I appeared on a national newspaper! heheh. Well, nothing big...nothing really special about it, but I really can't believe that just by blogging, I can make it into a local newspaper! O__o

Last Saturday (12.01.2013), I appeared on our national newspaper, Utusan Malaysia, on the front cover of their .COM section, for the "Blogger Pilihan" column. They called me about a week before the publish date, to interview me. At first I thought like..umm...what do they want to interview about la? I'm not thatttt interesting, and I'm not a big blogger like other celebrity bloggers pun kann.. So what is it that they wanna know la, I thought to myself. But well, they said they find my blog interesting, and they wanna know more about me...like, who is this Shazwani Hamid la, etc. haha.. 

So I said yes to it although I was given like....just a few days to prepare myself for it! Please note that I am usually very shy and always nervous when talking with strangers (that is more than two, usually), but because I thought I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and just do it and experience it...so I accepted it, and did it anyway! ;) 

And I'm glad I did it actually! (Although I don't really like my pictures in there...cuz I think I look weird. LOL ;p) But well, it wasn't that hard.. I mean, Thank God there were only two people who came that day - the reporter and the photographer. So yes, I can talk naturally. haha. (I'm really a shy person..and always so nervous with strangers, but that day...I was really fine! Probably because the reporter and the photographer is soooooo cool and nice, which made me feel so comfortable! ^___^)

Actually, the day before the photo shoot and the interview with Utusan, I had another interview on Saturday that week. That one was from TV9. So basically, that whole week I was fidgeting all the way since I got that phone call from TV 9 and Utusan since Tuesday till Friday! haha. Shooting back-to-back on a weekend! - I was so worried about everything... my pimple, my fat, my outfits, my make up, my talking skills, like would I be able to explain clearly, anddd everythinggggg! haha. Suddenly everything seemed to be a big problem to me! haha.  But when the day comes, it wasn't that bad pun, actually! - OK, maybe a little bit nervous for the TV9 interview, but well, this two experience, has actually made me learned something.... - That I really should stop my negative thinking patterns in my head, which constantly worried about anything and everythinggg, being the shy girl that I am kannn.... And to actually start educating my mind to think more positively, and that it will all be okay! hehe.. ;p

Anyways...enough on explaining a little bit info about me and my shyness..haha. Here's the article that came out on Utusan last Saturday! ;)

Thank you Utusan for choosing me to appear on your paper. You guys rock! You made my day when the moment I went to a petrol station that morning to fill up my fuel, and saw my face on the newsstand that day! hehe. So thank you for making my day! ;)


XOXO,
Shazwani Hamid.

Creative Blogger? hehe

The Lisa magazine team just informed me that they featured my blog in their latest Nov/Dec 2012 issue! Yeayyy... It was  for the article D.I.Y Lip Gloss that I made last time! ^___^

Oh, I love DIYs! Gotta share more of my DIYs in here! hehe.. Thanks for featuring my blog, Lisa! You've made my day! ;)

XOXO,

Shazzy.

Stranger, Blog ReaDer, and a Friend! :)

I never knew I could be friends with one of my blog readers! - Don't get me wrong..it is not because I'm a stuck up lady who doesn't like to make new friends, but instead, I'm a very, verry shy person in real life actually! haha.. You may see me being all cheery, out going and happy in most of my pictures here, but that doesn't mean I'm not shy when I'm in person, right?! hehee ;p

Yes, I could be friendly. And most people who already know me personally would say that I'm a friendly person or maybe...you can say, kepochi?  hahahah ;p But to be honest with you, I don't think I am. I don't think that I'm thattt friendly, you know! Because I'm always, always have this kind of uneasy/weird/shy feeling whenever I'm meeting someone new/I don't know of! haha. Although...it doesn't seem that way.. And I may look fine or rather confident as you call it.. But only God knows what and how I feel at that particular moment in my life! haha. 

Cuz let me tell you my biggest secret heree.... I am such a shy, nervous wreck! Heeee..

And most people that know me just by my name (never say hi to me, that is), would say this very line behind my back.... "Shazwani sombong" (Because of my naturally serious or 'sombong' face if I don't smile, I think? -__- Aiyohh darlinggg, just say hi to me laaa..  I would surely smile back at you and ask you to go for a drink with me! hahah.. - You expect me to smile all the time keee, ha? Ever heard of the line "Tak kenal, maka tak cinta?" LOL. So don't simply assume la, kakakkk. Ok? hehe ;p )

Anyways... I guess, reason why I always get that remark, is because I'm not really a social kind of person. Yes, I do have most of the popular social media network here in this internet world, but that doesn't mean that I'm very err......sociable? (I think, people who get pretty social and chatty on the net mostly are the ones that are not really social in the real world, ey?! haha. - Because they've been spending most of their time in front of their laptops/mobile phones, and not with real people!  - And this silly theory of mine is based from my own silly judgement of my friends, who are social on the net and unsocial when offline! And vice versa! LOL. - I am so not making anyyyy sense here, am I? hahah. Whateverr! ;p)

Anyways...my point is, I'm not really a social kind of person. Yes I'm friendly, but I'm not social. There's a big difference I would say! I can be very friendly and entertaining when I'm in a small circle/group of friends... But when you throw me at some place where there's more than 8 people (even if I know them well), you would see me being soooooo quiet there! hahahah. I don' know why that happens every time! I just can't seem to be so chatty like I normally would! haha. That's why I'm more comfortable having small circle of friends! As they say, it's not about the quantity, but it's about the quality! LOL ;p 

Anyway..so..back to my topic today.. (man, that was such a long explanation on the intro part! hahah). I am friendly but unsociable/ anti-social. So for me to make friends 'dengan secara tiba-tiba', with a stranger, would be really really weird! This Shazwani I know, would only say hi to people she's surrounded with at a particular period of time of her life! haha.. i.e: classmates at school/college, roommates at hostel, and colleagues at my workplace. And that's about it! She won't really socialize with other people/strangers that easily. Reason being is because.... SHE'S SO SHY!!! Shy than a cat would! heh. Orang ajak pergi lepak, cancel. Orang ajak pergi bercuti, saya terkejut lalu reject. Orang ajak pergi tengok movie, malas. Orang ajak pergi karaoke, tak nak, tak biasa, tak pernah, segan, tak suka, not me, tak selesa, and the list goes on! haha.. Segala activity bersosial saya akan reject! LOL. This happens whenever a stranger or someone new to me, asks me out! (tapi...my close friends ajak pergi karaoke pon memang saya tak nak pun! Nanti mama saya marah! heheh. Lagipun memang tak biasa and tak suka pergi tempat-tempat macam tu =/ )

Anyways, so...when this cute Ashikin girl started to say hi to me and mengorat me over Twitter a couple of years ago, we started became closer and talk about some BSB stuff, girl stuff, etc..and became friends until now!  haha. Nice move babe! Pandai you keluar kan I from my comfort zone! LOL ;p

When she first asked me out last time, I was so nervous..that I thought I wanted to cancel the date! hahaha. (Meeting a stranger, remember?) But then I told myself to get out from my comfort zone i.e. not talking to strangers and start making new friends! ;p

(and surprisingly, I was the one who talk a lotttttttttttt the whole time! LOL. Nervous and pemalu la sangat tu kannn Cik Wani? -____-')

So..yeah, last year we went out! (She blogged about it, you can view it here!) She asked me to accompany her to buy/choose the shoes for her graduation day... At first, like I said, I was so shy to meet her..but then she mentioned the word shoes, and so I agreed to meet her! LOL. Nice tactic, miss! hahaha ;p

Shuzzies! ^___^

This is @ashjoe ;)

And recently, we had iftar together at Sushi Zanmai The Gardens. We both loveee Sushi Zanmai! I love the Salmon Mentai especially!

....and I gave her a little souvenir from my Paris/Milan trip in June and she gave me an awesome Lip Mask! Love it!!

She's a graduate from a medical uni, taking a Science in Pharmaceutical Chemistry degree. - My dream course! That was what I wanted to learn last time..but dad disagreed and asked me to take accountancy instead...sobs. But never mind now...I loveeee what I do now! hihih. - It's true, things happened for a reason! ;)

Anyways..now she's doing the PB business. Good for her! (Go contact her if you wanna buy it/join them!)

^___^

She was also one of the girls who planned my birthday surprise party held by my blog readers last time! 

Oh, I'm so grateful to have such wonderful, awesome readers! I loveeee these girls very much. They truly have touched my heart!
Harus. Plan. Another. Gathering. Dengan. Mereka. ^___^

Turning Four!

Hey girls!

It's August again...which means, it's the anniversary of my blog again! (Actually my blogniversary is supposed to be in March, but for some reason, every year I do it around this month. haha)

So this year..my blog turns FOUR! Some say that's kinda long...but some find it quite brief in duration, as compared to those power bloggers who have been blogging for 10 years or so.. Oh well, if you ask me, I think four is quite a number, cuz that's like the same age as my niece! - And she can talk now! haha. ;p

Anyways I can't believe it has been four years already since I started blogging - That's four years of documented stories and moments in my life in here. Every now and then, when I don't have the mood to blog but I have my free time, I would always look back at my old entries, reading back the good old days of mine, and thinking how time flies! But I'm so glad I have them documented in here! Cuz I can show it to my daughter (or maybe son! hehe) about her mommy's life! hehe :)

Anyway, so within this four years of blogging, I get a lot of experiences and opportunities.. Like meeting lotsa nice & cool people, getting invites and advertorials, did reviews, got sponsored trips and events, etc, and lotsa other things! My blog is my baby now..although I rarely update it every day these days, but this blog is my sweetheart and will always be, thanks to you guys for supporting it throughout the years! Without my readers and followers, I don't think I would be this passionate about my blog and have the passion or rather  "semangat" to update my blog every week..hehe

So..as a token of appreciation towards your support, I would like to give you back, in a form of a contest! Hehe. Winner gets an awesome fragrance by Cartier y'all!! Worth more than RM 200! It's EDP, by the way. If you like sweet elegant scent, then this fragrance is for you.. So do enter this contest! ^___^

They have a few categories. 6 to be exact. Which are Fesyenista (fashion blog), Hijabista (hijab/scarf blog) -not in the photo above though - forgot to include when I did this collage! Heee.. Sorry!), Si Cilik Manja (parenting/kids blog), Usahawan (entrepreneurs/business stuff blog), Santapan (food blog), and Mahligai Cinta (love/weddings blog). And they have a Special Category as well...which yours truly is being nominated here! ^__^

The first year, which was in 2010, they chose my blog as the Chosen Blog of the Month, for their April issue and I got a little something from Anna Sui as a gift, for that.. - and I still wear it until today, by the way! (So thank you InTrend! ^__^)

And then, in 2011, they featured my blog as the InTrend's Choice of 50 Blogs in Malaysia, and categorized my blog for the Fashionista category..

And this year....

They nominated my blog as the Beauty Blog in Malaysia! Awwww....I'm really really realllllllyyyy feel so honored to be nominated for this! And I'm so touched that the editors write such awesome words about  me  this blog, and also, so happy that the InTrend juries/judges chose this blog as the Malaysia Beauty Blog!!!! It really means a lot to me!

SO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUU INTREND!!! ^_____^

Now...let's see what did they write about this blog, for this special nominations/category! hehe ;)

For those who can't read/understand Bahasa Malaysia (just found out that I have foreign readers! hehe) let me..uh...translate it for you! heh. Not word by word though..I'm not so good in translating words with the very right meaning/sentence or whatever...but I'll try my best to come as close as what they say here..hehe (for those who think I'm not explaining/translating it right, please let me know ya! Heeee ;p)
Well it says here...

Beauty Category: shazwanihamid.com

Brunch in the Garden! :)

This post contains a lot of pictures. You have been warned ;p



A couple of weeks ago, I received a private message from Sheila, saying...

Hehe. Cute.

^_^

.......I love helping people buying stuff and help them pick 'em up according to my eyes. So.....yeah, of course I said yes to it.

So on that Sunday morning, I woke up feeling excited.. because it has been awhile since I last shopped. And I already had some things in my mind to buy..

So....I woke up, and get dressed.. And asked Sheila to pick me up a little bit late, as I overslept - I did not get to sleep well that night..as I couldn't sleep =/

So anyway, around 12-ish she arrived and picked me up. And I asked her excitedly,

"So where are we going? And what are you gonna buy?!"

"We're going to Alamanda. They have this new shop, my friend told me. It's an art shop. Very cool stuff.. They sell like handmade stuff or something like that...so I wanna see what do they have there!"

"Oh my God...Really?! (I super loveeeee artsy stuff by the way) Bestnyaaa... Okay okayyy! Let's!"

*****************

And about 20 minutes later, we arrived Alamanda....



The moment we stepped into the mall, I saw...the Baskin Robbins counter, and I wanted to go there to buy myself some ice cream, but just before I ordered some, Sheila stopped me and said we're going to have lunch first and the place that we're going, have so many yummy desserts and better than B.R. =__='

At that time, I still didn't have any clue why and what is happening, and why won't she allow me to have my ice cream? LOL. For a moment there, I was feeling kinda weird, like why this girl didn't allow me to eat my ice cream???! Whyyyyy oh whyy? I want maaa ice creammmm! haha. JK.  ;p

So then I thought to myself, maybe the shop we're going to didn't allow outside food or something. So okay, fineee. I'm cool with that. hehe. And maybe Sheila was right, maybe they have awesome desserts. So okay, let's just try and imma follow her..  :)

Anyway..then I asked her some more,

"So which cafe we're going to have our lunch? What do you wanna eat?"

"Oh, it's this new place... It's somewhere near the bowling area."  

"Oh, okay.. Alright. We're going to eat first, then to the shop that you talked about..?? What's the name of the shop, by the way?"

"Yup..yup..we are. We eat first, then we go to that shop. It's called...something-something arts. Uhh....I forgot what it is called la. Later, I'll ask my friend"

Not having any clue whatsoever, I just followed her footsteps, where she wanna eat... And she brought me to a place called Garden Lifestyle Store and Cafe. Before we reached the entrance of the cafe, excitedly I said,

"Oh great! So it's this cafe, ha?! I've never tried here before! Great! I've always wanted to try, but dunno why still haven't try. haha"

"Great! Come, let's go inside!" 

"Table for two please.."

"Okay, which area you wanna sit? These area..or that one..?", asked the waitress while pointing at some areas..

"Ouh..that looks cozy and nice... Can we sit there? There's a swing or something over there!", I said..

"Sure."

Just when I sank my butt on the swing and started to play a bit with it, the waitress came to us with the menus in her hand..

As I was busy trying to get the best position to sit on the swing, Sheila then said to the waitress,

"Hey, can we sit over there?", while pointing at an area..  - I didn't realized which area she was pointing out to, as I was busy playing with the swing. haha. But that time I thought she wanted to move to another area cuz she didn't like the spot that I chose. =___='

"Oh, no. Sorry, you can't sit there. That's a reserved area. "

"Yeah I know..but my friend is sitting over there.."

"Oh okay... Suree..Alright then" 

At that moment, I still do not have any idea or clue at all.. I really thought Sheila saw her friend or something and wanted to join them or maybe just say hi or something and sit near them or whateverr... So okay... I followed her to the reserved area...

And little that I know, I would be seeing...........

THEM!!!!!

Saying.... "SURPRISEDDDDDD!!!!!"

It's alive.... Finally! :D

Alhamdullilah. My MacBook Pro is finally here and not sick anymore. The hard disk crashed last time. Sad. But thank God it's okay now.

Well, I got it last week, but I don't know why the internet in my area is always down lately. Thus, I can't online that often and started blogging again. Hence, the lack of updates here! =(

Anyway, the absence of my blog posts have two main reasons. One was because my MacBook was down with flu. And another one was....uh.. due to some unforeseen circumstances in my life. So I've taken my time to do a little bit of thinking. And after much thought, I've decided to start blogging again! =)

So sorry about the loooooong silence. I think, this is by far, the longest I was on a mute mode here, right?


I feel guilty now. haha.


Anyway, I have so much to tell! I'm really back! Don't go away ya! Stay tune! hehe.. Oh, I'm soooo glad I'm in my normal mood/mode again! hehehe... Feels so good to be back again, doing what you love doing! :)

But before I start babbling about my thingsss...let me just first update you girls with what I've been doing/going..

Shopping

Events, events, events

Taken some me-time

My Little Victorian-Themed Blogniversary Tea Party

This is quite a long post.You have been warned. 

Okayyy.

I know it has been over 2 months already since the blogniversary party. Sorry peeps! Procrastinate. Yes, that's the suitable word for me! haha. I've been delaying and delaying to do the post, until I was really busy with work, business, holidays and some plannings, that I got no time to choose and edit the pics and update here some more, until the year has coming to an end already, and there is still NO UPDATE on this! Pfft. I feel so bad. I'm such a terrible blogger  =/

Seriously, if you look at my organizer, you'll be surprised just how many things I want to write, share and update here, but I just never got enough time to do it, just yet! T____T

Ugh. I hate that =/

If only I have all the energy and time to do all that! My blog would be so much fun then.....right? And you guys would love me, right? LOL. Yeah Wani, that's like so trueee...  =_______='
But really, I wonder how do those bloggers update their blog every day??!! Some even every few hours??! WOW. These people really amazed me. It's either they don't have an outside life/world, or simply because blogging is their fulltime JOB! hehe..

Anyway, so here I am. Writing on the little event that I had last time. But before I started to membebel on that, let me just let y'all know how and why I did all this... And also, let me warn you, this post contain a lot of photos. 80++ pics to be exact! I just don't know which ones to omit anymore from that 350 pics that I have! Heee.. ;p

So anyways.. Here it is!

Well, I've been blogging only for about 3 years now (almost 4 actually, this coming March), and throughout this 3 years of (publicly) blogging... (before that it was a private blog since 2005. But that didn't really count, I think?) I've met a lot of awesome people and I had many opportunities/experiences... Although they are not that big, but I am thankful for all those, because initially I only blog to share little pieces of my life here, just for my kids to see one day when their mommy was young. LOL. But now, blogging is not just some activities/hobby I do during my free time, but blogging has becoming part of my daily routine, activities..or I can say like a part time job! haha. And I kinda addicted to it already! (My butt will feel so itchy if I left this blog for far too long! I'd feel like there's something missing in my life! I'd feel like I owe the world or something! Haha. I knowww, so weird! ;p) But really, I'm glad that along the way, I've met new friends and such cool people.. =)

Anyway, so to show my appreciation to my lovely faithful readers, who has been reading and supporting this blog for years, I decided to make a little party for me to get to know y'all..and to be friends with you.. Cuz it's not fair when you guys je yang kenal I, but I didn't really know you guys! heheheh ;p So the party was to actually getting to know you guys, and make more friends here.. hehe

Shazwani On the Media..

Last week I appeared on The Star, for a P&G/Pantene event that I went few weeks ago along with other bloggers...

This week, appeared again on Berita Harian, for that half-day spa event that we went at Vila Manja. - Super awesome, I tell you! (Will blog about it later!)

And today, I just bought a Nona magazine for September issue, that's featuring my mom's stories on Mekah......with me! heheh 

I think my mom look beautiful without her glasses! ^_^

It's actually an article about my mom's experience and story on her Haji/Umrah.. 

.....the rest of the stories

And I also appeared on some websites few weeks ago! Cuba teka yang mana? heheh ;p

Sekian!

XOXO,

What do you think? :)

As you can see...I just created a new blog header! What do you think?

It's much more girly one...

Hmm...What do you think? Should I stick with the old one..

The classy, whimsical header? Or this new, pink girly header is fine? Does it speak ME? heh

*indecisive*

What do you think? :)

XOXO,

S.

Sigh... Another Impostor!

Hmm...

Sometimes I get a message, people telling me..some bloggers "steal" my photos, and claimed it's theirs. Like taking my stationary collection photos, my accessories stuff, my make up collection, my shoes collection and et cetera.. Haihh.. Well, as much as I don't like that, (because you know.... at least put some credit for me la.. - I took my time to snap the photos, and then to transfer it into my laptop..and then to edit and resize it, etc... And lastly, to upload it in here some moreee, so the least you could do, is to watermark my name on the picture you took, or give some credits to me larr..) Right? But well.. These days, I don't know why I just don't want to do or say anything about it.. Maybe sebab I terasa macam funny je orang-orang macam ni, pretending to be someone else..and lying to their friends and family, and strangers/readers about their stories/life..  So I guess, the reason why I don't want to say anything just yet..cuz I don't want to spoil the fun and just wanna keep on reading and see what's next, that they are going to lie and say! hehehee ;p (It's like..this is my own joke, that I keep to myself... Heeeeee ;p)
I mean, yela...it is not threatening me or my family... even though, it IS annoying sometimes, seeing these fake people... But...Hmm..entah lah...


But when I found out about this thing the other day, I just couldn't keep quiet anymoreeee. Because really, I think when it involves 'people', it is REALLY a serious case already.. It's scary. It's freaky. It's threatening.

Like, my sister's case. Seriously, she copy-pasted everything, bulat-bulat and claimed that our family is hers!! (But changed our names, of course). She's living in a delusion! That psycho girl is sooo freaky! Knowing that she was my sister's ex-roomate tu yang lagi scaryyyy!! tskk.

And now... the case that I just found is... me.


Someone tried to be me. Well...the person didn't exactly change names like that psycho girl did, but  instead, she use my name (only spelling is different) and took a lot of my photos from this blog, and pretended she is me, on Facebook.


Well at first, I think it is not really such a big deal...I mean, that is still my face, and it is still my name.. So basically he/she is just making another account for me. So I thought nothing to worry about lahh..and just wanna keep quiet like I always do..
But..then, after much thought.. I really think I should make an action about this. It's threatening and it's kinda bothering me.  The person could do anything with the account, and my life is on the line!!

It's scary and freakyyyy okayy?!

Wanna see? Here's the FAKE SYAZWANI'S (with a Y) account on Facebook!

Now let's see...what did the person put on his/her page....

Hurmmm..... Her hometown is in Kampung Kabong Sarawak? Hmm... yadda yadda yaddaaa.....Worked in CIMB. Schooled in SMK Kabong (Where the heck is thattt?). Graduated from UPM Serdang... bla blabla.... Hmmm.... Nope, all of these are not ME! (Btw, look... she made an album for that Fashion Valet event that I attended last few weeks..Pffft)

Okay...let's move on,, what else does this person wrote...

Now this is my favourite part....

None of these are my favourites! Musics, movies, etc...NONE!
Siti? haha. I only like her make up. Not her music. And Avril? Well.. I only listen to her songs, but not make her my idol/favourite! And Sheila On 7? Hmm...I only like one song. (And I forgot the title! So that does not really count as "Favourite" la, kan?!) ;p

And moving on to the "Movies" section.. Hurmmm..... Of all the movies he/she listed above, I have only watched one movie among those!! So yeahhh... Favourite lah sangat kannn.... Pffft.

So nope. That does not sound like Shazwani Hamid with this real face at all!! -_-"

Next...the "Favourite Television" section, none of those sound like me!!! CSI? Never watch! Dr. House?  I don't have Star World channel anymoreee. SpongeBob? For cartoons, I only watch Disney's cartoons. And blablabla......seriously, none of those are my fave channels!

And next..is the interesting part... The "Games"... hmm... Badminton and Futsal, ey?? HA. HA. You've got to be kidding me! The last time I play badminton when I was 11, and then I stop because I was injured and swore to myself that I would never play sports anymore (because I keep on getting scars and injured and what not). And Futsal? Well... I did play once dulu - If you count as dressing up in a sports attire in pink and putting on a matching trainers with your "sports bag", and only went into the court for like 3 minutes, and run from the ball (cuz you were scared of getting injured), and ended up watching your friends play futsal while you eat Mister Potato, as playing futsal lahh..... ;p


Hmm..anyway, by looking at this person's information... I don't know why... I sense that this person is a HE. Just look at his fave TV shows.. his Movies, his activities...
I mean....  I think,most of my readers or stalkers (heh ;p) in here are mostly women righttt...and this is a girly blog... But none of those things that he put up...sounded girly. At least in my eyes....

Oh my.... If it's a HE, it'll be much much much moreeeeee scarier!!!!


I mean... who would do such thinggg....and steal people's photo (or rather..life) and pretend that it's theirs??

This is patheticly sickkk.... =(

Oh look... there's an album for "Balik Hometown", curik from my entry that I balik from Saudi! Pfffft. Hmm... I wonder...what was on his/her mind la...

Seriously. I REALLLLLYY wanna know! (He even put up my dad and my sister's photo!!!! >_<)


"Okay... Apa lagi aku nak ambik eh.. Gambar mana yang interesting eh... Jom scroll lagiii.... Hmm.. nak ambik gambar yang ni lahh... Konon-kononnya aku balik Kampong Kabong aku ni, naik MAS lah.....  *few minutes later*  ..... Okayy... done! Yeayyy..bestnya, best nyaa aku naik MAS!!"  haha ;p


"Okay..gambar pergi event dah. Gambar "aku" balik Kampong Kabong pun dahhh. Gambar apa lagi ehhh.... Hmm... Haaa....gambar aku nak pergi beli spek la pulakkkk.."

-__-'

Seriously. I REALLLYYYY WANNA KNOW WHAT ON EARTH WAS HE/SHE THINKING FOR DOING THIS??!


Haihhh... Maybe he/she was just wanted attention kot... Or maybe this is just a sick joke that he/she intended to do for me... Hmmm.. whatever your reason is, mister/mistress whoever your REAL NAME is.... PLEASE delete the account immediately! I have made what I should do..and will take this case seriously. Take an action to close down that account, or I will!


And...in the mean time, to my readers, can you please do a favor for me by helping me to report it to Facebook admin.....

Just click at the bottom left side button (below your "Friends" icons), the "Report/Blocked This Person" button... And click "This profile is pretending to be someone or is fake"...and select "Someone that I know", and insert my name... Shazwani Hamid

Thank you so much guys!!! I would really really reallllyyyyy appreciate thissss!!!!!!!

*big hug!!!*

P/s: I really should start watermarking all of my pictures kannn? Haihh... -_-"






XOXO,
