Al-fatihah Zackarally

Zackarally - like his name is one of a kind. 
A friendly prankster is how to describe him best. He is my neighbour who lives behind my house. A year younger, the same age as my husband. 

A week ago he went to the hospital with a terrible sore throat unable to eat. To his shock, the blood test revealed that he has leukemia. 

A week later he has left us. My heart breaks for his wife. Those two are such a great couple. I love seeing their photos of their travels on Instagram. Zack is such a prankster, so we often see posts of him trolling his wife. He loved leaving comments usually inappropriate but funny. Just a few weekends ago him and his wife were seated at the same table at a wedding. My mum said they all had a great night chatting and they were sharing their stories of their recent travel to New York. They were in New York for New Years. 

Zack, you brought a lot of laughter in everyone's life. We all can see that you lived a full life along with your beautiful wife. I will miss your ntah hape2 comments. May Allah grant strength for your family and your wife to go through these hard times. 

Al-fatihah

Review - Micheal Buble Concert



Pic courtesy of Diana's hp
I have always been a fan of Mr. Buble. I have so many songs that I love that I just can't pick one!
I think the first song that made me fall in love with that beautiful voice is "Kissing a Fool"

Back in 2011 when he came to perform his Crazy Love Tour, I was gutted that I missed out. I was looking for people to go with and didn't end up going. So this time around, I vowed NOT to miss it. So I went ahead and bought a single ticket. So so glad that I did!!

The show was just superb! Micheal was always connected and engaged with the audience. He made jokes like "No pictures or videos....just kidding! I always wanted to say that to a bunch of Asians!" LOL He also spoke Malay by adding "Lah" at the end of his introduction.Then he sentimentally introduced the song that his grandparents danced to at their wedding and started singing "Everybody" from the Backstreet Boys!

His band was so amazing! As a jazz music fan myself, to see a 14 (plus minus..didn't count how many there were) piece band live was just truly magical. His music director, Alan Chang (quite cute too! hehe) who co-wrote "Haven't Met You Yet" was so talented too! I have been google-ing him all morning! 

I am still on such a high from last night, it's almost like I have fallen in love all over again.
MAJOR.SWOON!

I have posted a video of him singing "Stardust". You can hear the quality of his voice in this song. It's exactly like how it sounded like on the radio. He was THAT good! Check it out over on facebook!

33rd Birthday - Presents and Parties

Sorry for the lack of updates! Been busy at work as it usually is early in the year.

So this was a few weeks back during my birthday.

Firstly, the hubby surprised me a day earlier with a small celebration at my mum's.
He came bearing a cake, a stalk of rose and presents from him and Nazrin!

The two kiddos (Nazrin and Ariana) attacked my cake and kept eating the frostings! They looked so cute all comots and vandalising my cake!


Then on my actual birthday, I opened up my present from the hub and Nazrin. 
Kimi got me a bracelet whilst he bought a mirror as a present from Nazrin! I loved the bracelet as I chose it myself! hahah...he was at the Tiffany and asked about which necklace I already have and I said I want a bracelet instead. Then I said "Wait, I'll send you pics la". So i sent him 3 options and he picked that one! Obviously he does not read the blog as most of my friends check out my list before buying my presents! hehehe


I also received presents from Diana who got the presents delivered to ensure that I get them on my birthday! She got me the tops and Nars make up!! (2 things off the birthday list!) I also got a delivery of a basket of beautiful flowers from her too!

On Friday, I had 2 parties. First one was at lunch with my CBAs.
As I have never been to Jake's, we went there and I got the steak and it was so so delish!
It was such a good lunch as all the girls were there and we managed to catch up (esp. with Puan Drog!) to hear her honeymoon stories!


Natte was so so sweet to bake my birthday cake! She made a fondant make up cake for me. It was a Victoria Sandwich cake in the inside and she made all the fondant toppings herself. Not only it looked good, it tasted SOOO good (of course!).

Doesn't the cake look beautiful?? Thank you so much!!!
Oh me Jid and Natte, took half of the day off and we continued celebrating after lunch watching Taken 3!! (good movie eheh)

Then that night, I had a kareoke session with my Sexy Bombshells (highschool friends).
We actually planned to do this last year for my birthday but I was down with Dengue! So glad that this finally happened. Not all the girls were there but it was enough. We had so much fun singing (most of the time out of tune!) and it was a great night!


Thank you so much for coming!
Presents from my celebration day!

From Top Left clockwise : Bday cake made by Nhomebakes, Isetan vouchers from Paris, Cake from Nadia, VS bag and M&S lotion and shower cream from Nadia, Presents from the CBA (Pandora Charm, Shower Gel and Weight Lifting Gloves!)

Then over the weekend got one more present from the pretty sister in laws!
A Dior Pallette!


Another great year of celebrations. Another year of being blessed with great health, beautiful loving family and lots of rezeki. Alhamdulillah!

Thank you everyone for a great birthday!!

The last of the CBA is married!!

The last of our CBA is finally married. The baby of the gang, Drog married her Akmal a few weeks back and I couldn't be happier for them. They met again whilst studying in London but they actually knew each other back in high school. Jodoh kan? Who would have guessed back then in high school that they would end up with each other. Oh did I tell you that Akmal is also my close London friend's brother. The world is indeed so small!


During the nikah, we all held back our tears of happiness. We were just so happy for her!

Me and Jid with Drog before she became a Mrs.
The CBA's (minus Ad)
Many congratulations Akmal and Drog!
We wish you a lifetime of happiness and blissful marriage!


The reception for Drog's side was held directly after the nikah. Meanwhile, the reception for Akmal's was done the following night. 

CBA's with the stunning bride!
My handsome prince!
With Mars!! My Warwick Jr, we used to play netball together!
As both Drog and Akmal are dancers, they prepared a performance for each other and everyone! It all started with the first dance for the bride and groom. Then Drog danced for Akmal (with us as the back up dancers!). We only had 5 days to practice a small routine to Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" and we had a little budding dancer Aaron too!! Despite only practicing (all separately) for only 5 days, I think we managed to pull off a decent show. After our dance, Akmal did a modern dance routine for Drog! We do have a video but shy lah! Here is some pics from the official photographer!


Dear Drog,
We are so happy that you are now married to the love of your life. The two of you are so perfect together and are always so supportive of each other. I pray that you have a happy marriage, keep dating each other and come what may, work things out and always communicate! Can't wait for little babies to join our troop and play with Abg Aaron, Nazrin, Arshad, Danial and Elina!! Love you so much Drog!

2015 Look #motd

As the new year has begun, I wanted to experiment more with my make up looks. What I really want to master this year is cat wing eyeliner and sculpting my face.

First up, check out some of my new tools which I got from the Butterfly Beauty Box (thank you again!!)


Maybelline Electro Pop Lip Balm

The colour may look like it's super HOT pink. Honestly I was afraid to put this on at first but upon application it didn't turn up as bright as it looks! Check out the swatch below ok?!


Collection Cosmetics Hotlights Lipgloss


This is a cool lipgloss as it has lights just below the lid. So if you're in a darkplace (ie the clubs or karaoke room) you can totally reapply your gloss. No problem!!



Left : Hotlights Right : Electro Pop

Dollywink Eyeliner


The sharpest tipped felt tip liquid liner. Great for precise eye lining.
However I did find the tip quite sharp!! Like...adoi!! hehe But I managed to practice my cat winged eye lining skills!



The full look! This is my #motd for my birthday celebrations! 

Birthday make up look

Stay tuned for my birthday updates! Can't wait to share what I did and what I got!!

The Birthday Wishlist

God don't you just love birthdays??
Even if I am well into my thirties, I still get super excited.

So just for fun, here are some thing that I am wishing for this birthday;

1. Benefit's They're Real Push Up Liner
I have been dying to try this!


2. A watch
I recently lost my watch so I need a new replacement. 
I like this one when I went with Kimi but he didn't like it so much. So he still hasn't decided what he is going to give me yet.


3. Pandora charm
I think I want one last charm for my bracelet just to balance off the reindeer I got from Kimi last month. Love these Pave ones. 




4. Sports Bra
I have been trying to hit the gym as often as I can per week. I could do with another sports bra. (Size L)





5. Weight lifting gloves
I have been lifting some weights, so I really need these gloves now.


6. NARS
I have yet to own anything from NARS so would love something from here.
Maybe one of their lipsticks?


Update: Ok after so many good reviews and again a reminder from Mieza I have decided to add their creamy concealer to the list!


7. Caviar Stick Eye Shadow
My current fave eyeshadow! Not sure if this set is still available but  love love these stick shadows!

8. Chiffon/satin tops
I wear these to work and on weekends so I welcome any tops as gifts. 




9. Shower Gels
I love yummy smelling showers gels







10. Scented Candles





So there you go, a MAJOR hint for those who are looking :p

Day 2 of school

It's his second day at school. Yesterday i stayed with him the whole day, but today I decided to leave him. I mean I can't stay there all the time so it was time to 'train' him. 

God, I feel lousy! My stomach is in knots. I feel horrible. So sorry baby!

Review - Shizens Lip Tattoo

As I previously told you, we all received a full sized Lip Tattoo from Shizens worth RM168 in our Butterfly Project Beauty Box.

Apparently the lip tattoo is suppose to add moisture to relieve the formation of fine lines. It also helps to lighten dark pigmented lip and gradually turn them into rosy tones.

Shizens Lip Tattoo

The lip tattoo is white in colour and upon first application. As time goes by (say about a minute) it turns pink!
1st application
Changing colour from white to pink
Pink!
The pink colour lasts a long long time! At the point where I swatched the lip tattoo on my hand, the colour stayed there even after I washed it with make up remover!






Plus Points

+ Rosy luscious lips
+ Long lasting pink colour
+ Nice soft pink shade

Minus Points

- It taste a bit salty! Or is that just me?
- Pricey - RM168 for 8ml
