Barbecue with Friends!

A few weeks ago, my friend, Zeam invited me to join the Melawatians barbecue gathering at his house in Emerald West. And I did.  - I like hanging out with these guys. These guys are the funniest and craziest people I ever met! They're fun, funny, cool and happy people. There is not one time when I hang out with them, I didn't laugh. hehe. It's fun to be around them!

Anyways..it's like their tradition to gather every year or so, ever since high school. They are very close with one another despite everybody has their own agenda now - some married, some engaged, some working, some studying, etc etc... Although they're not as close as they used to be when they were in high school, but they always make an effort to come and see each other every other week or so, for a drink or something.. and would do an activity or a gathering each year, once or twice, at least. And that's why the boys and the girls are still close with one another, up until today! - more than 10 years of friendship, that's realllllly nice! - I think that it's very nice to have friends that you are close with, for such a long time like that... growing up together and experienced the ups and downs with each other.. laugh, cry and be there for one another when needed. - Now.. that's what I called a true friend! ;) 

Anyway, so here are the pics I took..on that day!

The boys setting up the barbecue grill set.. 

Meet Kayroll, the chef of the day! (He studied culinary arts in Taylors)

Mmmm...marinated chickens ready to be set on fire!

While Kayroll grilled the chickens, the other guys helped him out to grill the corns....

Yumsss!

And the other guys setting up the shisha thingy..

While the boys do their stuff outside, the girls in the kitchen made some Linguine Olio..

Meet Sarah and Tya!

My fave meal on that day! I've always love aglio olio! ;)

And this is the Honey Mustard sauce and Black Pepper sauce that Kayroll made..

...and the creamy Mashed Potato too! 

(This guy can do a lot of stuff! - Tya, the girlfriend, indeed, is a lucky girl! hehe)

Grilled vege and mushrooms..

Hot chicks

....and err..a bit hangus sausage! hehe

Raimi enjoying his first bite of the hot chick.. hehe

Makan!

Me enjoying the fruit salad that Kayroll made.. - Sedap! hehe

That day it was Apai's birthday too.. So, I bought the Chocolate Indulgence cake for him, and asked them to make a surprise for him...which turned out to be not that surprise... LOL ;p

Happy Birthday Apai!

Apai  received a birthday kiss! hahah

The thing that the boys would do when it's their friends' birthday.... =_____='

I thank God that I'm not a boy. hahaha ;p

(I remember last time, Zeam had the worst surprise from his friends too, on his 21st birthday. hahahh.)

Sing, shisha,  laugh. That's what they do..

Meet Zully...

...and meet Sarah and Boy. The cutest couple!

I just realized, I took a lot of their pics on that day, and none of my own! LOL. Oh well..never mind. maybe next time then! ;)

Ok, till my next post!

XOXO,

Monday Blues

Oh...tomorrow's Monday! Back to work, people! I'm preparing my Outfit Of The Day tonight, to combat the Monday blues I'm feeling right now! haha.. - And I chose the Blue color, to go after the idiom "Monday Blues"! How ironic.. haha.. But I add some bright Orange to add a little pop of color over my blue and white paisley printed top! hehe

Ok, have a great Monday peeps! Gotta iron my scarf now..and then am going to bed! Night night! ;)

XOXO,

Shazzy.

How I Store My Bubble Bars and Bath Bombs!

This weekend I've been spending my time in my room, unpacking my stuff and cleaning up my make-up area.. Y'all know that I went to Singapore twice this month right? And I purchased quite a lot of Lush products while I was there. haha.. (Just can't help it!) So...when I get back home, I had to think how do I store these lushies that I purchased! I know I accidentally bought a lot the other day...and now I have a bit of a problem to store them in here, knowing that my stuff are all overflowing in this room! haha. ;p 

It's just that..it's so overwhelming you know, when you're in the store, not knowing what NOT to get! Cuz everrry thing looks and sounds amazing! hahaha.. - I'm the kind of a girl who loves all things pretty and girly..and I don't just love make up and fashion.. I love body and bath products too! So of course this girly girl just couldn't resist not buying Lush products and had a really hard time deciding what to buy! (I spent more than 2 hours in there! haha. Thanks Michelle, for assisting me..and for making my wallet hurt a bit. haha ;p) 

Anyways, so when I got home the other day, I checked every item I got for myself..and I couldn't stop smiling! Heee.. I know they're not Chanel bag or whatever. They're just.....soaps? But oh well, like I said, I loveee all things girly and pretty! Even if it's just soap! haha. So I'm very sorry if I sound so lame in here. But I'm just so excited! - If only you get to see my face when I first got into the Lush store, you'll know what I mean! haha ;p

Anywaysss.....I love their bath bombs, bath melts and bubble bars especially. They are like their famous items. I took quite a number of these darlings the other day. I can't wait to use them in the bath tub! They smell so yummy! But the slight problem is.. they're quite big and chunky..and very fragile! So I gotta take extra care of them, before I get to use them. 

I don't really take my bath in the tub that often. Normally I just shower. Bath tub is for days that are special..hehe. - Which happens like...once or twice a month only..so it's gotta be a loooong way for my bath bombs, bath melts and bubble bars to be used and finished! So I gotta find a way to store them properly but still look nice and presentable.. while they wait for their turns to be used each month! hehe

...and I got an idea! 

Using a clear bowl, and a plastic food wrap!

I wrapped each and every bath bomb I have with this plastic wrap, instead of the yellow Lush bag they gave me! So it's easier to choose and know which is which... Rather than having to open each bag, to find out what I'm looking for!

Tada! All wrapped up! Ready to be displayed in my bathroom...waiting for their turns to take a bath with me! hehe

They looked like some kinda candies or should I say...kuih? hehe

Ok, I gotta continue cleaning my room! Blog soon! Have a great week ahead! Take care girls! ;)

That Perfect Crisp White Bedding

Since I have been busy adjusting myself to working, traveling and blogging at the same time, I did not have time to find an article or post that is worth blogging that would interest you guys! Sorry if I'm lacking of stories in here! =/

Anyways, I've been in and out of KL lately.. to JB, Singapore, KL, JB, KL, JB, Singapore, JB, KL! Phewww! haha. And so when I arrived my room yesterday I realized how much I miss it! The first thing I did was jumping up and down my little white queen bed, and curl myself on it for a good one hour before I got up and changed into my kaftan and washed up.. haha. I can be such a kid sometimes! (or maybe I should say, all the time? LOL ;p) Anyways... so today I thought I would talk about making the bed! And how it can change your mood and your day! ^__^

I really think having an organized room and a clean bed, can really make your day after a hard day at work or something.. I don't know about you, but the first thing I would do when I come home, is to go to my room and put my stuff away..and just chill on the bed! Not the sofa in my living room, nor the chair in the dining hall, or the comfy couch in the family area..or whatever. Nope! I would prefer my room, my bed to relax! My room is my baby. I love my room very much, although I do not have the best room in the world..but this is my little space where I relax..and where I can be 110% myself, - because no one else is in this territory of mine! hehe. I feel so calm and relax when I'm in my room. 

And when going back home from work or traveling, and seeing a clean white bed when I enter my room, can reaaaalllly change my mood! I would smile the minute I see my bed! So yes, making the bed in the morning, can change your day at the end of the day, making you a happier person! hehe. 

Even though I know sometimes there is a major debate between yourself about whether or not you should make the bed, right? - You'd think that you are just going to get back into it in a few hours...right? So why put so much effort to make the bed that you would mess it up again..right? haha. (I used to have this kind of mind set too! Heee. Lazy me! ;p) But my mom taught me that if we used that argument for other areas of our home, we would never have clean the dishes, or do the laundry. Because why wash something when it's just going to get used again? haha. Mom was right..so I always make my bed these days (except when I'm super late!), to please myself when I get back from work later on! Trust me, making the bed changes the look of a room! It makes a room more inviting and uncluttered looking and CLEAN! ^___^

Anyways, my kind of "best-dressed" beds, are usually the ones that only have one or two tone colors on it, all folded quilts and crisp edges! And for now...I love white bedding! Why? Because you can match it with any colors, and you can bleach it if you want, and you can play with other accessories and it would still look good, and best of all, it just feels better lying in bed under a white duvet! - Think hotel rooms! hehe

Plus, an all-white bed lets you mix in affordable linens or cushions or throws/runners too! You can get some pretty awesome stuff from I Wanna Go Home, or Aussino, or IKEA, or anywhere else! And you can mix white with such pretty colors like... Lime Green or Sunshine Yellow, or Mint Green, or anything, making your bed appear so much cooler!!

Mmmm... Crisp, light, cooler and refreshing white bedding. You will not be disappointed.

Mom bought me this 100% Egyptian cotton comforter set the other day.. It's a 500 thread count sheets. So comfortable, I gotta say! And she bought it together with some pearl cushion covers as well, which I loveee to bits! It's so nicee! Thank you, mother! ^__^

Since the usual bedding set only provides two pillow cases, I mixed this bedding set with my sister's wedding bed set pillow cases, which mom got from Hallmark last time.. since I have 6 pillows altogether on my bed! (not including the cushion, though! haha) - the other two pillow cases would be from Akemi. So I have 3 different brands and designs of pillow cases on my bed altogether now! 

I don't know why I have so many pillows. But I need all 6 of them. One for the head, one for the thighs. Two for the headboard. and another two for my left and right side of the bed. haha. And oh, the cushion would be to cover the face! ;p

Anyways, I think I first started making my bed when I was 12, to display all my pink beanie babies all lined up neatly in a row.. And 12 years later, I am still making the bed, except that I'm displaying my pearl cushions! haha.  Even if I have a lazy day, I still need to make the bed before I go to sleep. Or sometimes, I clean my room too!

What about you? Do you make the bed? Do you get the same fantastically pleasing feeling like I get walking into the room and seeing a crisp white bed so pretty and made? =)

Just a Quick Update!

Hi girls!

"How are youuu?!"

It has been awhile since I last blogged or even Instagram! Do you miss me? haha. Hmm..I've been wanting to do a tutorial entry in my blog since I get a lot of requests on that so I thought I wanted to share some of the tips and tricks, but the thing is, I've been too busy running here and there in the last few weeks.. which has made me so tired now - driving around in and out of KL, traveling here and there, not enough sleep and rest. Phewww. It's exhausting, but I had fun being busy here and there..hahaa. And I am back now.. And my life has been great lately. Alhamdulillah... :)

Anyway, since I posted an entry about my Lush haul in the last post, I get a lot of requests from the girls, asking me to help those who are really keen to try and buy the awesome Lush products for themselves, for their sisters, friends, etc! ^__^  hehe..Glad that I have made you girls tempted to try it! LOL. But yesssss, I gotta say, Lush products are so awesome.. It's worth every penny! (Recently I have a huge stubborn pimple on my cheek for days - thanks to the sleepless nights and stressing out on some stuff. haha. But when I use the Grease Lightning serum from Lush, in just two days, the zit is almost gone!!! I'm so amazed at the result it gives me! I'm a happy Lush user! hehe ;p)

Anyways..I will get back to you ladies who ordered from me ya! As for now...I just wanna chillax a bit and enjoy my weekend! Body is too tired. I need to unpack my stuff first, and then I will sort out the orders!

Till my next post! Take care now! ;)



XOXO,
Shazzy.
