get out judging voice!

do you have voices inside your head? I do. it's my own voice (i think) and it always judges. my devil advocate? perhaps. i'm not a fan. Seriously, get out! Originated from my upbringing? couldn't blame the past, could i? But I find it quite tiring to be judging people and situations all the time.  it's not cool and it's not easy to put a break on it. i need to be in a blank state of mind, which is impossible considering that me still breathing. but does this inflict only myself or it breeds in everybody? is this the voice of reason. it stops me from feeling excitement to the max. it puzzles me when people are excited by petty matters or sympathized over minor mishaps or misfortunes. i simply don't. it's hard for me to find anything funny or be amused about anything. My haha moments are mostly my sarcastic reactions, except when Ricky Gervais and Chris Rock are concerned, and I don't like this feeling. I want to be able to laugh to simple jokes. Well i did yesterday when my hubby cleverly said "don't put words in my mouth, put food!". My smiles are so expensive and if I were to live by my smile, I'd be dead broke by now. I keep telling myself to be humble be humble be humble but at the same time this humongous pride in me gets in the way. where do i get this huge pride anyways? pride for sale! pride for sale! any buyer email me. starting today i pledge to bend myself towards humility,maybe that's the way to be more appreciative of the world. 

Ramadhan Al Mubarak

Sudah seminggu memasuki Ramadhan dan alhamdulillah puasa berjalan dengan lancar. It's such a peaceful Ramadhan for me this year. Haritu saya berkesempatan menonton YouTube by Joshua Evans yang menemui Islam apabila hatinya yakin bahawa AlQuran ialah kitab segala manusia. Sebelum ini saya ada membaca Al-Quran tetapi dalam bahasa Arabnya. Pernah mencuba untuk membaca terjemahan tetapi sekadar juzuk 3. Jadi bulan Ramadhan ini saya bertekad untuk membaca Al-Quran dalam bahasa yang saya fahami. Sekarang sudah menjangkau ke Juzuk 6. Alhamdulillah. Allah Maha Besar lagi Maha Pengampun dan Penyantun. Saya benar-benar merasakan setiap umat Islam harus memahami kandungan Al Quran untuk menjalankan kehidupan dengan lebih baik.Begitu banyak isu yang dikupas dan diterangkan dengan jelas melalui AlQuran. Allah itu amat memahami sifat hambaNya dan tidak putus-putus memaafkan. Apabila wujudnya ketakutan dalam diri manusia kepada penciptaNya, di situlah muncul ketaatan. Saya harap semuanya akan berterusan even after Ramadhan. 





Hati saya begitu sayu di bulan Ramadhan ini memikirkan ahli keluarga yang sudah tiada lagi. Semoga roh mereka ditempatkan bersama orang-orang yang beriman. 

Hari raya ini saya inginkan semuanya sederhana. Alhamdulillah baju-baju raya sudah tersedia. Bertuah badan kerana suami sangat bertimbangrasa dan memahami. Tinggal kuih raya dan persiapan rumah yang lain. Tahun ini kami menyambut raya pertama di Melaka, kedua di Johor. Kerana suami perlu bersiaran, dia kena pulang ke KL cepat sikit daripada saya. Tapi saya teruja untuk menyambut raya bersama keluarga tercinta. 

Kalau ada masa, luangkan untuk menonton syarahan daripada saudara Joshua. It's amazing. Sedikit panjang tetapi menyakinkan.

Another One In My Collection

So, I'm a fan of rings.  And this one is the latest addition to my collection. 

the color of the stones is exquisite and the intricate designs in between the stones make the ring so beautiful.

Partially sponsored by my lovely niece, Nattalina. Thank you, love. 

simply breathtaking

My First Tod's D-Bag Bauletto Piccolo

My birthday falls on the first day of Ramadhan this year and a week leading to the day my husband will be super busy with the launch of his new Gua site. Therefore the celebration started early. He wanted me to choose a luxury bag for my gift and my choice is Tod's D-Bag Bauletto Piccolo. Tod's is well known for its subtle and timeless pieces, and the D-Bag is the icon of Tod's. Made popular by Princess Diana, the d-bag is a classic. 

pure excitement!

the dust bag is a must-keep

it took my breathe away

the calfskin is simply gorgeous

look at my baby...

tod's subtle logo and the position of the logo is very humble indeed

the long strap can be worn in two styles and I love the slimness of the strap

i could have chosen a more classic color but i wont, this color is one of a kind

Thanks abang for the very nice gift. You exceeded my expectation! And I love you with all my heart! :) And the celebration continues this weekend at the Legend Water Chalets Port Dickson with my small family.  To say I'm happy is an understatement!
