Kak Aini & Mama Zameer

Salam and hye everyone,

Syukur Alhamdulillah I had a pleasant weekend yesterday. It's been awhile since my weekends are free from any photo shoots and I just make the best out of it. I have been declining birthday invitations, weddings, open houses and other forms of gathering due to work commitment. But last week, I had all the time in the world and what better way to spend it other than attending invitations right? 

I had 2 invitations that day; one is from an ex-colleague who held a thanksgiving and the other was visiting a 3 month old baby. My former colleague is Kak Aini who was one of the nicest person I've ever known. Back in the old company, I was kinda been mistreated by the seniors most of the time.

One; it was my 1st job hence I was very green and naive.

Two; my senior and her friends were nasty. 

My senior has been working there for 2 years so most of the job loads were entrusted upon her. She was also appointed to guide me and delegate jobs. The thing is; she was so unhappy by the whole arrangement and began talking behind my back. She kept complaining to Kak Aini and other staff that her work is overload, I'm not as occupied as her, etc etc etc. For some reason, she did not told me this but rather chose to continuously talking bad behind my back. The worst part is she pretends to be my best friend and put up a smiling face. 

Now one day, a terrible circumstance occurred between  her best friend and I where it ended up that girl was scolded by our superior. Having an axe to grind with is the last thing I ever wanted with anyone especially when you are still green. I can never forget this particular event; normally during lunch time we will head down and buy food from the stalls. I did noticed that my senior was muttering in the phone with someone and normally she would do that with her best friend. The whole conversation was done in discreet so that I was not included in the plan. Cut to the chase; my senior and her stupid best friend collected orders to have McDonald for lunch and they intentionally did not want to include me in the loop. They really think I'm that stupid huh? I overheard Kak Aini said "Ait? Ko tak amek order Dora? Abes tuh Dora makan ape?". Subhanallah, only Allah knows my feeling at that point of time. Ape ko rasa bila satu department makan-makan sedap, sengaja tak amek order ko pastu makan depan ko? Satu department tau. And the mastermind was that stupid best friend.

This thing happened in 2009 and yes it has been 4 years now since that happened. It is really a chip on my shoulder. As Muslims, we must learn to forgive because forgiving is saint. Ignoring is matured right? But I'm just a mere human with a sensitive heart. A leopard can't change his spots you know? There are so many other things that my senior and her friends did to me. The only nice and sober human being was Kak Aini. That is why I made an effort to attend her function despite my tiredness and tight schedule. 

If you are nice to me, I'm forever indebted and will always cherish you. If you treat me like crap, you will be totally be insignificant and I'm no longer bothered to be your friend. I won't revenge. Revenge is stupid. I just leave things to Allah. That simple.    

      

Oh my, I've skidded from the focal point of this entry. Aaaarggh. Clearly I have not let go off a few things huh? Hmm whatever laa.. my past is what forms me today. 

So here she is; the kind and beautiful Kak Aini. I will never forget the kind things that she has done for me and to meet her again after 4 years we departed ways was truly amazing. We reminisces a lot of our great moments together and frankly I really miss her. Good people deserve to be cherished.

And of course gambar yippiyaya... Bukan main susah nak suruh die focus...

 The second agenda of the day was visiting one of the mothers from Cik D; Naa / Mama Zameer. She gave birth to a baby girl exactly 3 months ago and I haven't got the time to visit her. Since Naa lives on the same  lane with Kak Aini, why not hit 2 birds with a stone ya? Meeting Naa has always been so pleasant. Back during the Cik D days, it did took me awhile to open up with her. But Alhamdulillah, we are very close today, many thanks to Cik D for introducing us. We stayed at her place for almost 2 hours! Wow.... so many things to talk about and playing with her serene baby is just fun! The baby keep smiling and doesn't mind the loud-talking-moms. 

 

I attended another thanksgiving / house-warming / birthday party on Sunday. But since there are no photos (Uncle Din was not in the mood : he was tired) so it would be kinda boring to jot that down.

Anyhoo, hope you had a blast weekend. Thank you for reading people.

Ugly Duckling - Kulit Gelap - BBplus Collagen

How well do you remember your adolescences years? Was it a great one? Were you one of the popular clan with a biatch attitude? Were you a recluse book worm who enjoys own companion? Or were you one of the mediocre girl with a repertoire of friends where friendship knows no status or strata? For me, I was categorized as a plain ugly mediocre girl but thankfully I do make friends with everybody. An adamant stance indeed.

Physically I look awful. I was very dark (orang kita panggil karat), very thin and too tall for others. My parents never taught me to doll up hence the smeared appearance at all times. They seem to taken lightly of my attire (in other words; don't care). I remember clearly my very 1st birthday bash invitation back in 1996 when I was only 12. This dude (he is now a recording artist) invited the class so I was invited too. The problem is in my class, there were only a few of Malay girls and they were the popular ones. I can remember clearly the night before the party took place, I was crying washing my smeared Polo shirt (ooooh... Baba never bought nice tops, only polo shirts) and tried so hard to dry it. That was my best top even though it has spots of paints. I did wore it the next day and as expected, I sat alone as I was too ugly to be friends with. 

When I was 14 (1998) with my bff

High school was tough; I was neither here nor there. I was in the top classes but no one wants to be my friend. Only a few girls were truly kind willing to be my friends without judging my looks. Boys were extremely mean. They called me hurtful names akin to Indian roots and teased me Tiang Electric. The same dude above hurt me emotionally; my friends and I went to Sunway Piramid (it was a weekly regular outing) and as usual, I did not doll up like others. So I was walking beside this dude trying to engage a conversation. At first I did not notice that he was creating a gap between us while walking until I notice he just moved over the other side so that I would not walk beside him. He did not want to walk beside me. Ashamed perhaps? You don't forget things like that okay...... You just don't....

Culmination of years.. I finally learned to ignore nasty comments and believed true beauty lies within. Confidence derived from a positive circle of friends and I eventually learn how to wear makeup & dress up nicely. My journey started with using Fair & Lovely. Tapi tak fair & tak lovely pon. Then guna Olay tapi wahlaweeeh... xde pape pon... Then opted to use De Wajah tapi mahal giler.... one small day cream (30g kot) RM60.. Kau gile? I can be wrong on the maths but it was something like that.
 

 Before and after using BBplus Collagen

Pastu long hiatus as I can't seem to decide on a cost worthy product.

Until I began drinking BBplus Collagen. I minum BBplus and much to my surprise, parut2 jerawat hilang, kulit jadi tegang, jadi cerah dan rasa lebih gebu.. Fuyooooooooo... So maintain jer laaa minum BBplus Collagen. My daily skin care? I pakai bende murah je; Safi Rania Gold. Alhamdulillah it turned out to be a great combo.   

My point of this entry: I can relate to those with low self esteem especially when you are constantly teased for your physical. Dalam tv tuh senang jer orang2 cantik kata "Cantik luar tak penting, yang penting cantik dalam".. Yeah right, such advise coming from you? Anyhoo, rather than you continue sulking about life and waiting for a miracle, why don't you get off your a** and do something about it? Good things don't come easily. You need to earn them.

Nak confident? Ader cara. Nak cantik? Ader cara. Nak sihat? Ader cara. 

Nak jadi muslimah sejati pon ader cara.

Thank you for reading.

Piya's 1st Vadey~

Do you know what is vadey? It's like an Indian doughnut only that when it is related to Indian, you may expect it to be slightly spicy. The best vadey I've tasted thus far is from Subang Jaya SS15; the stall that is standing solely by the road side along with Rojak and Cendol. The vadeys are packed nicely in a group of 5 whereby the packaging costs RM2.50 so each vadey is 50 cents. Sangaaaaat laaa sedaaaap ok!

As I was munching the vadey right in front of her, you would have expected that she wanted some too. I thought that she might twinge an eye for the spiciness but she turned out to be fine and ok with it. 

"mmmmm... Sedaaaaap... Nak agi..." and we ended up berebut makan vadey sebab ader 5 jer..

 Sabor jer laaaa... It turned out that she loves the vadey... I think she ate 2.5 kot... Berebut with me...Either way, I was a happy to eat some even though berebut dengan Piya...

Minimal makeup; facial cream, compact powder and eyeliner.. Minum BBplus jer yea..

Thank you for reading yea..!

 

Wedding + Photoshoot

Uncle Din and I met during our 3^rd semester degree Electrical Engineering in UiTM (sem 5) and we were classmates. So being classmates, we shared a lot of mutual frens. Most of his frens doesn’t like me and that feeling is vice versa. I have little tolerance with nonsense but having said that, we do have common alike on some of ‘our’ frens… Whatever….. So recently a friend of his just tied the not. Well, actually he is my friend too waaaay back since Diploma in 2002 but as I said, not everybody is agreeable to my eyes. This dude is close to Uncle Din and he did made an effort attending our wedding in 2010. While Uncle Din was looking forward to the reception, I on the other hand regarded the attempt as membalas budi… Enough said..

I had mixed feeling attending the reception. You see, since the dude is a friend since Diploma, hence you may expect to meet many other Diploma buddies. And to be frank with you, my Diploma years were not the best time in life. I prefer my Degree years as I met Uncle Din and I was more sober. I was terribly nervous on our way to the reception. I don’t know whether these people would still dislike me or forgotten about me or what…. I hate this kind of uncertainty. As we arrived in the ballroom, I could already glance familiar faces across the room; my Diploma friends…. Uuuurgggh…. Looking at them totally made me reminisce terrible moments; dispute over assignments, all the hear says I heard about my attire & attitude (as if they were that great), the breakups and other stupid fights…. I just don’t like my Diploma years and I hate going down the memory lane having flashbacks. 

But, having said that, there was one face that warms the heart; my kizzez… His name is Ahmad Khiz but I called him Kizzez. He sat behind me the entire semester in Diploma part 1 year 2002 and he was never mean to me unlike the other boys. We did a final year project together pertaining to business and I was his boss. Hahaa! He was among the few who were bothered to say Hi to me at the reception. It was really good to meet him. I don’t have any problems with girls (well, only a few but they were not present) so I spent the entire time with people whom I cosset only. 

Congratz Sallehudin Sani

Kizzez and his lady friend :)

Uncle Wuz yg scary

These are my Degree Friends

 My friends from Diploma and Degree... I didn't take any photos with the ones I dislike..

The girls kept gazing at my face as they said I look different. I think I notice the difference especially my skin tone and my secret is simple; I drink BBplus Collagen everyday. Being a mother approaching 30, I think it is fundamental to pamper the skin. If I can invest in technologies which not healthy by the way (radiation remember?), then I should be able to invest in a healthy skin and body. 

We had to cut short the gathering as I need to rush for a photo shoot with GetGorgeous boutique that evening. And that is a different story than this entry.

Confident Masa Modelling - Pakai Premium Beautiful

Salam everyone…! Sorry for the long hiatus as I did not have access to update my lovely blog… 

Dui Bu Qi..!

Okay, if you notice, yesss I have just started to involve with modeling but please don’t call me a model. People has high expectation when you claim to be a model; preeeeeeetty face, super slim figure, small waistline and etc.. Believe me, it is terribly stress to live up to that expectation. Peha budak2 model tuh besar betis I jer.... bukan main kuruih lagi model2 nih... Damn... I admit that I do have self-esteem issues when it is in regard with physical appearances and physical features… I’ll write on that on a different post yea. Basically today I would like to share with you on what have help me to become a model.

Shawl Azzuria Zahra | Photog JariClick Photography

Would you agree me that Allah SWT knows the best for you? That his plans are better than ours? This is the reason why we must always accept changes and embrace challenges. Watch YES MAN people! Watch how Jim Carrey’s life began to change for the better when he says YES to everything instead of giving excuses. Okay, everything started when CDM Faridah Mohd Ali invited me to join her team to do a photo shoot advertising Premium Beautiful Biz and promoting Akademi Taipan 181 too. It was a concoction of great hesitations and doubts before I finally agreed to join her. I’ve never done any photo shoot before and I don’t want to waste any ringgit spent on it. But then again, I just went along.

Our Certified Professional Image Consultant (CPIC) was Azlia Idha; the owner of GetGorgeous Boutique. She groomed us and styled us according to our physical figure and personality. I was extremely nervous for the shoot but instead of letting that feeling ruining my shots, I decided to have fun!

GMG; where I was scouted

Months later after we did the photo shoot; Kak Lia contacted me again to be one of her models for Style Fest 2013. Apparently she diagnosed my physical shape as hour glass body and she needed someone to style her clothing line. So girls, this was how everything started for me. If I had not worn Premium Beautiful religiously and drink BBplus everyday, would you think anybody would take notice of me? I was plain jane before all of this happened. I was out of shape, my skin tone was dark and I look older than my age. 

Style Fest Malaysia 2013 | with all the models

Premium Beautiful and BBplus helped to change my life from an ordinary person to who I am today.

I am not rich and famous yet though like the other models, but what I am trying to accentuate here is that you must allow yourself to accept changes for a better life. Would you think I could be like this today if I hadn’t join ATM 181? Would I look like this if it wasn’t for BBplus that improved my skin immensely? The answer is no. If it wasn’t for that simple invitation from Kak Dah, I would remain as an ordinary person with an ordinary life; nothing extravaganza no excitement.

Shot for Azuin's Collection and Azzuria Zahra Collection

 And because of this new exposure that I’m going through, I admit that it raises my doubts (faith) to another level. I began to recite Quran everyday to help me see things clearly especially in making decisions. I pray and beg Allah SWT to give me signs in managing all of this. And as I mentioned earlier, I don’t think I would have hold the Quran everyday if it wasn’t for this. I seriously don't have any idea how long will I be in this field so I am leaving that thought open. Whatever happens, Allah SWT knows what is best for me.

Premium Beautiful and BBplus helped me a lot to get this spot. I wore Premium Beautiful every time I have a photo shoot so that I won’t have to hold my breath to have a flat tummy. It also give me better posture, better figure and more confidence.  On the hand, BBplus Collagen helped to improve my skin immensely. I look fairer, my skin feels more firm, my acne scars are gone and i definitely feel rejuvenated.

I am still an authorized dealer for Premium Beautiful and BBplus so do contact me for best price people. Thank you for reading this post yea..
