Among the perks of being in a relationship, I get dragged to all the things the other half want to go/do.
For instance when he found out his favorite band is coming to Malaysia, performing at Sepang International Circuit.
"You HAVE to go with me"
Knowing how much he loves this band, I'd figure he wants to ask his friends so that he could have this 'all-boys' night us girls always hear about. I mean, what fun will it be jumping and singing to your favorite band with your girl around?!
"Why don't you ask your friends?"
"Because I want to go see my favorite band with you"
And that right there just made me melt to the ground. Sigh.
I mean, I would love to go too - my favorite scene from The Holiday was when Cameron Diaz sang her heart out to the 'Mr Brightside' while she was alone, mending her heart in the ice cold city outside London.
OF COURSE I WOULD LOVE TO GO, IT'S FREAKING THE KILLERS.
So there we were, that night, having the most awesomest time of our lives with the greatest band in the world.
We managed to get good view since we reached there quite early; and when I glanced at the back, I was shocked to see so many people! He said "I hope there's no hipsters here, that would be embarrassing" lol.
Among the songs in the playlist were Mr Brightside, Spaceman, Smile Like You Mean It, Human, Somebody Told Me, For Reasons Unknown, When You Were Young and Read My Mind. It was awesome because the crowd's energy was seriously crazy; even beats the Summersonic concert in Japan! (Yes Japanese are polite EVEN in a concert)
I love The Killers before because of their well-known songs, but there's something about watching them performing live - and an awesome one. I've been to concerts in Japan and it's safe to say this band kicks their asses!
Was having concert hungover when the next day at the office I kept replaying the songs in my iPod the whole day.
But then I realized, it's nice to know you have someone who shares a lot of things in common with you, even when you're a stark contrast from each other.
But this is where I draw the line. Don't ever take me to see Metallica, please.
P/S : A good review on the concert by TimeOutKL.com, if you're a fan.

Kyoto Protocol as opening performance. Not so bad, they even rockified 'Rindu' by Amelina hahaha!
And The Killers!
Mr Brandon Flowers.

Now that's an easy one.
HAHAHA ok I'm not funny I know.
I guess I never really wrote how we met; it just felt too personal for me.
Our story is never an easy one; like other couples, we have our fair share of ups and downs and dramas. But all I know is, I never knew I'd marry this guy who used to be my classmate during the first year in foundation. He was this 'loud' guy with his friends who used to be the center of attention in almost every class we have, up to the point that annoys me. I didn't really notice how we became friends (albeit being in the same class all year), but suddenly at one point, he changed to this quiet person and would occasionally text me asking about random things.
And then I started to notice so many things about him, things that I never knew before. And then suddenly my routine has changed - he'd call, we'd spend mornings for breakfast together at the college's cafe, and occasional texts at night. He became a part of my life which I didn't even realize was there; when suddenly he asked, and I said yes.
And that's how it started. Never knew the routine would last this long!
We didn't hire a videographer for the engagement because I wanted someone close to record the happy occasion for me - and it's none other than my little brother. Shahrul has a videocam and I figured since I wanted the occasion to be minimal, might as well ask your family to record the whole thing! It just doesn't feel right, asking a stranger to do the video for me and I've never been one who's comfortable talking in front of a camera..
Hence the super amateur video. But still, it's the thought that counts, I believe. Thank you to my little brother for this!
P/S : I can't stand looking at myself in a video, so you know it's a pretty big deal when I'm putting it here. Might even delete it soon. Oh well.

Been thinking of blogging about the engagement, but I just didn't know where to start.
One thing you must know about me is that I'm a perfectionist. Like, an annoying one. During the days prior to the event, I was calling my Mum to ensure everything's okay and the one thing I'm fussy about the event was the dais.
Looking for an event organizer who can produce the kind of dais I wanted was a difficult task. I've done a bit of research, and the nice designs in KL are just impossible to find in Penang! Me and Mum had to scour through Penang to look for one that is affordable and simple - all the while, maintaining the dream dais in my mind. When we found one that suits our budget, I told him the specific details of how I wanted the dais to be.
I told him I wanted all white, simple but with a lot of vases of flowers with a good lighting. The one thing I wanted is for the engagement to not seem like a huge deal. He took my ideas and changed a bit (I wanted a different chair) but when they finished setting up the whole thing, I fell in love.
It turned out to be even bigger than I imagined; which means more space for the white backdrop. I wasn't home when the event organizer team finished setting it up because I had to rush to the store to get some flowers for hantaran (heart attack number 1 : my hantaran deco was done a day before the event) and when I got home, my jaws dropped.
It was so beautiful but so MUCH bigger than I imagined. Freaked out at first, because I really didn't want a vast dais but Mum assured me that it still looks simple because of the bigger space for the white backdrop. Trust your Mum to say anything to make you happy haha.

Even the niece liked it so much she refused to sit anywhere else

But still, Alhamdulillah it was everything I wanted. If you're in Penang (Seberang Perai) area and you're looking for a nice dais, let me know!
So I had a discussion with my male colleagues the other day.
Topic of discussion? How it is perfectly okay for a man to have 4 wives.
-____-"
It started with us discussing about some of us getting married this year - you see, my department is consisted of mostly young executives, hence it is kind of a fun activity anticipating whose wedding is coming up next. So far we have one colleague getting married in October, one in November and one in December - it's almost like our "peak season" hahaha!
So whilst we were on the topic, this male colleague of mine (he's married) asked my opinion on men having 4 wives.
"Why are women so defensive when it comes to the topic?"
I'd have to agree with that. Why are we so defensive? And apparently for men, they feel like it is their right to practice polygamy as it is allowed in Islam.
"You know, if your husband have other wives it should be a good thing for you too - you can have some alone time when he goes to the other wives' house"
I was baffled.
And another male colleague (he's the one getting married in December) chipped in;
"Imagine you have 4 sushis served in plate in front of you - would you just take one, or would you take all 4 of them? When you have the space in your stomach and is perfectly capable of taking all 4 sushis, why would you deny it? If you just take one sushi, the other 3 will be membazir you know"
This is a battle I could never win, so I decided to play along.
"Yes, if you have 4 sushis served in your plate for you, there's no reason why you shouldn't take them when you're perfectly capable of paying for them and consuming them. But if you only have 1 sushi served in your plate (nodding at this colleague who's getting married soon) then you should just consume this one sushi and appreciate it, rather than going around looking for other sushis, no? Because that will be tamak and Islam does not like us to be greedy"
I don't know how but that did shut them up hahaha.
Yes, we discuss the darndest topics sometimes.

You guys should know how I'm into accessories by now.
And prior to that, I found out I have this allergy to nickel way back then when I was young (10 I think?!) because I just got my ears pierced and a few days after wearing gold earrings, my ears got itchy like, bad. So bad that I kept scratching and hurting my earlobes where the pierce were and my Mum had to take the earrings off.
So I've been wearing silver earrings only, up until now. Even for rings and necklaces (once I wore a gold necklace and developed rash all over my neck -___-"). Later on I found out the reason I'm allergy to gold is because sometimes they have nickels (albeit in smaller percent) whilst sterling silver does not. So yes, while you're happy buying funky jewelries from Topshop, H&M etc; I can just hate you from afar.
So that's why sterling silver and me are inseparable. And white gold too, since apparently for white gold, usually they're plated with rhodium (a substance close to platinum) or silver. (Hence for my wedding ring, I have a SOLID reason why he has to buy me white gold/platinum HAHA.)
Since I have mostly silver jewelry, I decided to learn how to take best care of them especially when silver get tarnished quite often even when it's worn frequently. Like this ring I've been wearing since 2009 :
After the engagement, I rarely wear it anymore so the other day I noticed how bad its condition was. So today I googled how to clean silver, and this came as my saviour.
Tried it at home today, and it works!
So if you have silver jewelry and you want to take care of them, these are what you'll need :
1) 1 cup of boiling water
2) 1 tablespoon baking soda
3) 1 tablespoon white salt
4) 1/2 cup white vinegar
5) 1 sheet of aluminium foil, shiny side up
6) Bowl
7) Polishing cloth (I just use the normal silver polishing cloth, you can use normal cloth if you don't have one)
Happy cleaning!

7) Polishing cloth (I just use the normal silver polishing cloth, you can use normal cloth if you don't have one)
Cover the bowl with aluminium foil (shiny side up), add baking soda and salt. Add vinegar slowly and don't freak out when you see the reaction. Mix everything and ensure that they dissolve well.
When the water is boiled, pour it into the bowl slowly. Put your silver jewelry inside the bowl and wait for a few minutes - you can see the chemical reaction between the aluminium and other substances inside the bowl (it's a surprise I didn't thought of this earlier - say only chemical engineer pfftt)
Take the jewelry out carefully, wipe with cloth and TA-DA!
So happy that I went around the house looking for silvers to clean lol.
I've always been a fan of NYX - they're practically one of the most affordable line with quality in the market. My first purchase of NYX was when I discovered my grocery store back in Japan stocked them and I got their nude eye palette which I still have up till now.
So when I was in KLCC's Sephora the other day, I found out they have this NYX Parallel World box, and I just had to get it.
So what does this box consist of?
6 color smokey eye palette, pink blush, a neutral pink matte lip cream, black liquid liner, jumbo eye pencil (not in picture, it's just that I forgot), and a mascara.
I know I've been collecting quite a number of off-the-counter makeup - lip gloss, mascara etc - but this set is just a perfect combination for all occasion. I wanted to get the eye palette originally, but the salesgirl sweet-talked me into buying this set cause the price is almost the same for the eye palette and this set.
Tried the lip cream and I was sold.
Went light on the blue shade and brown of the smokey eye palette, a small bit of the pink blush, mascara and the pink matte lip cream. If you want a darker shade, can double up the blue or black shade of the eye palette!
At the risk of sounding like a blonde, I love this smokey eye palette for adding some color to my dull face. Though I'm still not confident enough to go full-on smokey.

It was an impromptu trip; I was looking through hotel deals and he called and suddenly it was a weekend getaway.
Leave it to us to plan something at the very last minute. But it was worth it!
His family was in Malacca for the long weekend so it was also kind of a get-together with my new family to-be. (Feels kinda weird saying that) It was my first time and I really wonder how other couples do it - and him shoo-ing me away to the kitchen really didn't help pfftt.
But as soon as I reached home, I realized I've missed them already. Sob.
He took me to the Safari (A Famosa Resort) since "Domyouji took Tsukushi to the zoo for their first date - we've never even been to a zoo together!" lol.
So much for the Hana Yori Dango-inspired hahaha! Can safely say we've covered the zoo date now.
Then we went to the famous Bandar Hilir.
The Hard Rock Cafe Malacca finally opened so we decided to try - good food and even better service. The waiter and waitress kept coming to us; asking if we liked our food, drinks etc and there was a moment when the power was out and they kept on coming to us to apologize. Power back on after mere minutes though; 10/10 for their efforts to keep the customers happy la really.
And he thought it was funny to make me wear the bunga raya flower clip on my head all day long during the trip. I had to walk through Jonker Walk and A Famosa with that thing on my head while passersby casting looks at me wondering what this cuckoo girl is thinking -____-"
I think having been in Japan for 4 years, we've grown accustomed to having road trips every now and then - it sorts of became our little tradition; every summer or winter break. We loved discovering new places; the Okunoshima island, the Shukkeien garden, the Osaka temple, Tokyo Disneyland, etc - I guess I just miss our little trips that I wanted it to be the same even when we're back in Malaysia.
And this trip? Totally makes it all worth it. My travel buddy is back!

Day 3 of training at UTP so guess where yours truly is now.
Freaking Ipoh city!
It's been a while since I went anywhere for business trips so I kinda miss the hustle. I mean, yes, going back and forth from Bangi to KL is erm great (except for the darn traffic) but it's nice to be working out of the city.
And can you believe that I can't remember the last time I was in Ipoh?
Realized a few things in these few days of living in a hotel :
2 more days to go and I miss the office already.
Colleague : What's the difference between pekan Ipoh and bandaraya Ipoh?
Me : -____-"

And can you believe that I can't remember the last time I was in Ipoh?
Realized a few things in these few days of living in a hotel :
- Ipoh city is an alien to me. The roads, the people, the driving, the manners on the road, the closed doors and windows of shops at freaking 6 pm in the evening, the limited choices of restaurants - we had to resort to having steamboats yesterday cause all the restaurants already closed! I don't get this.
- The hotel. I have this amazing tech-savvy door lock and switch (touch-screen!) but they took the whole night to get me an iron and an ironing board. Priorities, priorities.
- I'm practically half-awake by 9 pm so the colleagues felt like I was ditching them during their night outings (they went out for bowling tonight and here I am, writing to you on my bed)
- Training means learning how to operate new equipment during the day so by 5 pm I already felt like puking. Absorbing like mad and it's been 2 years since I last finished reading a bloody manual.
- Hotel food is awesome but I'm not cut out for buffet so it's a waste.
- I love hotel food.
- Raided the hotel room's cupboard and found a weight scale. Priorities!
View from the hotel room. That's Kinta River.
2 more days to go and I miss the office already.

So I had a nice short break on Merdeka Day (despite getting sick - yes, I was down with fever and runny nose ON my engagement day. God is funny huh?! Was so worried that I might stain my future MIL's hand with my nasal mucus. Don't worry it didn't happen.) and as soon as I was back in Bangi, work was piling up like no other.
Who bloody says our employees kerja goyang kaki, I wanna know. Here I am, in my apartment room, on my bed, with 1 laptop open for reports and 1 for my favorite sitcom with a notebook in hand.
But one thing was, I kept telling myself to get familiarize with my new title. The colleagues keep scolding me for 'downgrading' it and apparently 'I should embrace my engagement-hood' hahaha!
Me : Ooh your open house this weekend? Yeah insyaAllah I'll come with my boyfriend.
Colleague : Who are you calling your boyfriend? Fiancé LAH!

Our engagement ceremony was yesterday on Merdeka Day, and it went well Alhamdulillah!!
I know..been keeping it low before and now that it's official, I couldn't be happier.
It was "finalized" during my trip to Japan last March with Mum, when we were having lunch in Tokyo and he dropped the I-want-to-ask-for-your-daughter's-hand-in-marriage thing to Mum. I was like, ok this guy is so not subtle..pfft. Mum, of course, was ecstatic while giving him a speech and I was munching away nodding religiously.
We've had an awesome journey together for 8 years now, and God only knows how much I'm in love with this guy. (pretty much made it obvious in previous posts, haven't I. Sigh.) He's been an exceptionally wonderful other half to me, he's seen me at my worst and best and still stays, he is the most patient guy I know and the one I trust will guide me to a better path. But most of all, his relationship with his family, nieces and nephews really amazed me and from that moment I know this is a good man I'm marrying.
Still can't believe I'm getting married soon.
