Bleep its 2019! This ain't APRIL FOOL!

OH MY!

Fast forward to April 2019, here I am dusting off the cobwebs of my blog. LOL!
I'm not sure if anyone still reads blogs but frankly I miss ranting by myself on this special platform that was dedicated in pouring my hearts out to keep my sanity.

Yes, I talked a lot cos my mind constantly processing a lot of things you know. So this outlet actually relieves some of the input from my brain. Haha!
Catch my drift?

It's been a swell year(s) after leaving corporate world.
Nothing like the freedom of being myself and not trapped in that eeky reek of dirty politics full of goblins and devils in disguise!

It's a total F R E E D O M!

Anyway, there's a lot of interesting stuff cookin' up now.
I was back from my favourite island Langkawi for LIMA show. It was amazing to see and hear the jets dancing above the skies. A day before the show I was invited for the most awaited fashion showcase by local couture maestro Rizalman as King Riz. It was epic and regal as we were all dressed to nines according to the theme.

A week before that I was in Perhentian Island with Moo. We had an amazing time relaxing and having fun with nature.

Hey, I was never ever made to be a housewife/homemaker yo!
Even though I left corporate, I juggle a lot of simple work and keep myself occupied with fitness activities and of cos some social dose in between.

Life is short and I always believe we should make the best of it. GO FOR ADVENTURE!

Stay tune if you are still reading!

Health & Fitness Journey

After I left corporate world, I felt a sudden need to recheck myself and realigned my thoughts to a more focus in self improvement and inner peace.

I do miss being in a team challenging ideas and plotting out strategies.. but looking back I was sucked in to a deep negative hole fighting with demons masked in human form in suits just to be on top...NAH! Thanks for the lessons and all the perks.. I wanna be me again and I don't need to be the greatest actress to fit in!

So, I slowly maneuvered myself to exercise more as I've tortured my body i.e. eating unhealthily, smoke a lot, binging outings, late nights to escape from work stress. I lost my metabolism as I've now aged passing the mid thirties crossing to forty for goodness sake! When I made up my decisions, it's usually when I'm listening to my body... and I can hear it screams Oi! Wake up and give more love to me! ME! Your body that is a vessel to your soul!

Yeah.. once I left the company well I was lucky to negotiated my departure with my top boss, my CEO whom was offering me to stay and instead I took up the compensation as I needed the break. My GM was an ass.. seriously and I don't bother to have any farewell cos their drama is beyond I can comprehend. My body rejected to be in their presence too as it was up to vomit blood some may say! Their time will come around to the corporate leeches and monkeys...

After our maiden trip to America... New York is the best city in the world! I'll blog about this I promise... I psyched myself into following videos on simple exercise routine. Trying to squeeze few simple work out. Then, I started for group work out as I need some social interaction. I signed up with FIRE and enjoyed the kick boxing classes. I like the vibes there too. People are pushing it at their own pace and motivatig each other.

Now I am more conscious in my eating habits, more fruits and oats... veggies too less carb. I was doing well until I had a collagen drinks which spike up my weight as hell! All those work out shedding weights toss in the god damn drain.. but at least I'm telling myself I gained my stamina back and I learned!!!! Beware of your poison!

Here are some photos of fire yoga and #pinktober ride yoga classes I had joined last month

I might hit the pool now. Happy weekend!
Xx

hello november!

OMG!

One more month to bid farewell to 3-series!!!
Frankly, I'm not feeling any much different except that my bedtime is preferably earlier as sleeping is precious nowadays, I cut down my sugar intake and loading up fruits+veggies, I like the morning air and I have lesser friends cos I tend to be selective and cannot tolerate b#lls*t....

As life has never failed to teach me a valuable lesson, I count my blessings instead of complaining and sulking about it.

A lot of things I've checked this year after I left that giant corporation for sure. I can't believe clocking day in day out on that twin tower for the past 4 years. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and knowledge that propelled my career to next level!

So what's in store currently you may ask? I might be talking to myself here... I miss pen down my thoughts and feelings.. so many things to share!

Ok my fitbit has alerted my bed time.. brb and good nite!

Here's a snap of us at our neighbour hood mall haha!

How do you do?

Hey! It's been almost 2 years since I last came and update....
Let's try to pick up the speed.. as I was now... the office is too darn cold as mostly everyone has left!

It's nice just to take the elevator down from this 57th floor and have some hot choco...
I'll be back!

xoxo

It is just around the corner!!!!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not.

Quand Il Le Temps :) oui oui

Yes it is the time...

After almost 8 years we have decided a month ago to start our journey seriously officially hahaha

He has planned mostly everything, what I do is tightening and acting as advisor for our celebration. We try to minimize the involvement of both mommies and so far so good.. Alhamdulillah!

I like our invite which is simple yet pretty (to my juicy eyes) well some minor things which I should highlight to the designer but yeah.. small lil things that should just let go

I have my own invite tracker and budget in excel sheet haha yes am so kiasu innit. I really wanna DIY most of the stuff but if only time permits hmmm...
So far we managed to get our own light bulb strings.. Doing it from scratch yes! Oui! Jadore
Will share with you when it is ready!

Anyway, the best thing we did today was....
Tadaaaa......

Yup our own monogram that I have we created ourselves. I foresee this is the first stationary for us and more to come heheh!

Can't wait to finalize all the preparations for our petite soiree...
Wish me lotsa luck!

Bisous xoxo

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Things We Do

Boy every time it's year end there will be lotsa things to do people to meet and celebrate..

Not that I am complaining however, it helps to occupy my time and a good distraction from work. I realized also that friends come and go.. not only works for me but to the rest as well.

Next month is a big step well changing my official status heheh.. He said he has prepared some guards incase I speed off from him :p 
Like I always believe that if it is meant to be with Almighty's will and blessing it falls into place.. Amin. Insya'allah.

Actually, there are more things I wanna say and share with you. However, let me have some rest and beauty sleep. We were tired from torturing ourselves in the gym and pool earlier. Yes.. I think I am the fattest I have been and I do not think I will be a skinny bride hahaha oh well... catcha again!

Bon nuit xoxo

What is the fuss about?

Hi :)
As early October I have we have planned something big together.
You must be wondering or you may have guessed...
It's something that has come, that we should to continue our journey together :)

I feel that I want something simple, something that will not make us suffer later for the sake of impressing, something that should be intimate with people who matters and something that we both would agree it's celebration of our union.

Deep in my heart if it's meant to be it will fall and sail smoothly... be it in anything in life :) always have faith and when the time is right it will fall into place easily for you.. alhamdulillah.. Insya allah.

We have finalized most of the important stuff i.e. location, paper works, religious procedures, wedding planner, catering and importantly my dress! I hope it will turn out as I imagined. Nothing fancy yet it should be special :)

The negotiating part is the tricky one cos this wedding planner is not somebody I know it's his friend and he wanted it WOW haha talking about my groomzilla... Heheh I told him it's best we save some cost for our honeymoon rather than pay for something so temporary!

Wish me luck xoxo

Make doa our practice everyday :)

Allahumma yassir wala tu’assir robbi tammim bi’khair..

O Allah, make it easy, and do not make it difficult. O Allah, make it end well

COBIT 5

Heyya,

Guess what. I went for a training with my bosses and took exam on the last day. I was so kiasu that I had gastric attack day before the exam and didn't actually managed to read all the pages on the handbook.
But tadaaaaa... I passed my exam woohoo only beaten 3 marks ahead from the bosses.. Imagine if I had read them all :P

Anyway, COBIT stands for Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology. It is a framework created for IT Management and IT governance. It is a tool set aligning enterprise goals and IT goals. OK why do I need to know all these? Haha cos my role now is very challenging I need to speak the same language as my bosses and also educating and managing my stakeholders. Insyaallah this knowledge will help to understand the role better.

I am so glad that I went for the course and made my boss proud by not flunking it tee hee hee

Carpe diem!

On The Way To Becoming Geek

Cos deep down I am hahaha
I was so fascinated with IT I wanted to take C++, MCSE and do wonders with programming
Heck, I am still and where I am now hopefully, what I do still interlink and connected to it.. 

I am in training now.. COBIT 5
Have you heard?

Well everyone has their own whims and fancies innit 

Keep Chasing (the right thing and purpose!)

He who has the best inspring tweets!

Patience is what I learned to be where I am today

Assalamualaikum.

How time flies. Yes I think every time I try to revisit this lil spot of mine, I realized we live day in day out without realizing there's so much we should or we could do to achieve a fulfilling and contented feeling. I have always been keeping myself busy. Climbing higher in career and pushing myself as long I have the hunger for knowledge and challenges, connecting with family and friends, buying stuff (which I try to keep it at minimum cos I tend to have withdrawal later on and end up buying more at one go!!!!) and involves in social activities.

When my job is more secured I will try to get myself into some charity works as I feel I need to give back to the society who need our support and care :)

These past few months along the way there are good and bad things cropping up. I had kinda tough Ramadhan this year as at work place people are just too insecure and selfish that they tried to kick me out.. Just like the other 4 team members who opted to leave than stay and face the music. It was bad but deep down I am a fighter when I know I am being treated unfairly. I fight cos I have given in and put my effort to make things right. I turned to Almighty for courage, confidence and guidance. Yes, we shall seek for his Mercy not only in time in need... He should always be around us in good and down time... Insya allah.

In this process I also realized my gut instincts are usually a spot on. Again a girl who cannot share and embrace others happiness turn to betray my sincerity. I thought I have moved on and selecting few who can be happy around me but I was wrong :( 

I should realized that confidence are not instilled in everyone naturally. Mental strength is acquired by sincerity. It doesn't mean you speak the same language, read same book, share the same coffee the other is not judging you silently. Hmmm.. seriously, you can actually judge a person look, the crowd that they hangs out with and the things they do to kill their time. I have summarised all these in profiling people. Yup, I just love to observe and I should remember to take a step back not be taken advantage again. Insya allah. 

Also sooner or later you will connect with the right people that you share the same character even though it might be in different levels but yeah.. He will clear the way for you :) they say birds of same feather flocks together so that is how the universe do their magic for us here...

Another sour apple who was the caused of my fall out with another friend I heard came back and got separated with her husband. Perhaps that's why she was too frustrated to see me going out and about with her gf and play her dirty tricks on me. I am no replacing anyone and I have a lot of friends that know I am the outgoing person who is so OK with impromptu plans. I forgive cos I don't play childish game and get stuck there... the worst part is out of the blue, her ex send me mssgs and I tell you it is not a hi-bye, flowery one. Ugh!

I think he must be losing his mind or there's too much revenge and vendetta that he needs to give a big pay back to her. Do you think I would interfere? No way am minding with people issues but deep down I know God is testing me to see what would I do with these chances. I rest my case and blocked that idiot like how I did to his ex and the rest... *puke*

An ol friend who called me Zoe (the only gal whom I allows - btw it was my cheerleader nick) passed on the same date as Dy-O left us. Innalillah... Alfatihah. She was young and lead a rather interesting life, battling cancer and fight thru the end... Our path always crosses uniquely but I am glad I managed to ask for forgiveness and told her to be redha and accept our fate. She cried incessantly and my heart breaks. May her soul rest in peace along with my Dy-O, atoks, families and friends too. We will all be we there are now one day.

I can't wait for November and December. It will be a great achievement for my life journey in 2013 *grins*

I shall share bits and pieces of what I am excited about hehehe

Take care and bisous.

xoxo

Life is beautiful :)

Bonjour!

I have been on a hiatus for sometime. The journey has been on a roller coaster mode.
Nevertheless, in time of occupying my mind to a positive energy I decided to spend more time here to let my chest out, clear the system and share my thoughts.

New blog header! Yes, I have spontaneously played around and polish of the dust of my creativity juice. Haha. Tadaaaa...
I chose it to be simple, clutter-less and a hint of the French dans moi :)

Time flies faster and I hope my old self will come back and shine bright like a diamond like how it was meant to be!

I will be back! Bisous x

General Lisa's Baby Shower

Last Sunday on the 3rd of June I attended my first baby shower 
It was for our dear friend Lisa whom I would say are blessed that she glows during her pregnancy and didn't suffer the bloatness of water retention
She's embracing the motherhood very well even though we all knew she'll be the last person among us to be a mommy! Haha never say never!

Another dear friend has taken care of the deco 
Izreen did a great job for the day. Fluff + stuff rocks! :)

It was a great time bonding with everyone and yeah those who were neither a mommy or married gathered in one of the loudest table teeheehee
So many interesting topics we covered which includes "jom main..." sms sent to a friend who then showed to me.. OMG! *shakes head* crazy bunch of friends they are! 

So many yummy finger food and cupcakes. All looking too cute and pretty to eat!

Baby Safira is the cutest! And Ilaika is the prettiest :)
