Her, The Husband & Wife

No 10.

Dyan

Finally can take a deeeep breath and relax a bit cos most of the December wedding artworks are ready & printed!
Oh my punyalah ramai orang kahwin bulan 12!

And oh… it’s October!!!!!
I love October for many many reasons.

5th October – Our Engagement Anniversary 
15th October – Our Wedding Anniversary 
25th October – My Birthday! 

Apart from that, it’s also the bestie’s birthday as well and because we love buying cosmetics together, we’ve been receiving sms-es from retailers on discounts etc. Chanel & YSL is offering Free Makeover & gifts. Tangs is giving us 10% off beauty products so i’m expecting some girly girly time with her again!

So no prizes for guessing why i heart October that much.

That also means i’m getting nearer to getting my Flap!

I’ve decided on the Caviar Leather, Gold Hardware and that’s final.
I’ve been deliberating far too long and what made me finally decided on Caviar Leather was because my lambskin WOC is having scratches now. Not very very visible but oh sangat heart pain seh. Especially when people langgar my bag and leave a scratch, sama rasa sakit hati bila my hubby find a scratch on the car! hahaha

So i figured, since i’m getting a Jumbo because of the size and practicality, then Caviar leather it is!

And looking at how obsessed i am with the Flaps, i am already saving for a Red Reissue with gold Hardware. sigh.
I can’t believe i am slaving myself for bags.

Oh and the husband managed to get off-in-lieu for this month so we’re off to Turi Beach for our Anniversary again! Weeeee.
I initially thought since we’ve got a long weekend, we could probably fly to Gold Coast or something. Alas, the flight timings and dates were not in our favour. Wanted to get tickets to Bali / Krabi instead but because it’s super last minute, it was really expensive and so not worth it for a short flight and because it was a long weekend, some of the seats were already snapped up.

but it was a blessing in disguise cos my FIL reminded us about this event we need to attend on 13th october! hahaha
Selamat tak book ticket. So no long weekends! We’ll go on monday and come back on Hari Raya Haji instead!
But that’s ok cos i plan to just laze around, read a book, swim & eat while i’m there.

 

 

Musings of a Bride

cerita kedai mama

Dyan

I’m hgoing to be another annoying ex-btb and say “kenapa time aku dulu takde cam ni” walaupun aku kahwin tak sampai dua tahun.

Another great idea by Bonito by Bob!

Mama Shop instead of kids favor bags! That way, the kids can choose their own favors lah kan. Mana tau, some kids tak suka coklat, suka makan gula. Ada kids, tak suka makan, suka mainan. You never know!

It wouldn’t be a proper kedai mama kalau takde all these vintage knick-knacks kan?
i love the dingdang but the last time i bought it, the coklat inside is really setotet-net sey.

Oh and that plastic balloon is da bomb! I use to challenge ngan my siblings balloon sapa paling besar.

I honestly think this is a good idea lah. Time to show these young ones that fun is not all about lugging the ipad & smartphones all over!

of girly times

Dyan

After the Expo, on Monday, i got up really late, just to make up for all the early mornings and then on Tuesday, i had a date with the bestie, Liza. We met up for lunch at Tong Seng. If you have not heard, Tong Seng Coffeeshop, the one behind Bugis Junction, at Liang Seah Street will be closing down come 15 October 2013 and of course i had to go and pay them a visit before it shut it’s doors. I spent most of my teenage years there! I use to skip classes and go for a 3-hr long lunch break just so i could eat the Mushroom Chicken Noodles, Laksa, Fried Wanton and Sliced Fish soup. Liza and me continues to eat at Tong Seng after we graduated and moved on to working life and previously when Liza was still back in UK, i’ll miss her when i pass by Tong Seng. So yes, Tong Seng held many good memories.

I couldn’t decide on what to eat but i settled for the laksa. No Taugeh, extra cockles. Yum yum.

The Card Maison

busy bee

I was kept very busy last week at the MegaXpress Expo. There was such great turn-out for all four days that i had to rope in my sister to help me on Saturday and Sunday and luckily i did cos while attending to some clients, there were actually 2 – 3 clients waiting for their turn to put down their deposits. Syukur Alhamdulillah. The response was overwhelming and i wish i had more manpower and space but that’s ok, maybe next time!

I also learned from the previous mistake on the merchandise display during the previous expo and glad i could come up with something easier to carry this time round and also effectively show my products to prospective clients.

Here’s my humble booth!

I DIY-ed this display board 1 day before the Expo and i’m so glad it turned out just as i’ve imagined and this board is her to stay permanently in my office.

The Husband & Wife

not just another love song

Dyan

2 years back, with the help of good friends, the husband composed and sang this for me on our Wedding day, much to my surprise.
(Because his malay really cannot make it.)

We have since recorded this properly, made him stick to the guitars (cos that’s what he do best) and let me & Halim sing it instead.

It continues to bring a smile to my face (especially after fights! haha) when i hear it and will forever be etched in my mind as our very own love song.

impulsive choices

Dyan

u know how sometimes when you have an idea in your head and then u are dead set on it and then nothing can change your mind?
Last week, during our last raya visiting, while in the car, one of my fringe was hanging loose, framing the sides of my face.

I saw it on the mirror and thought to myself ” when was the last time i had my hair short?”

Asked the hubby if it is ok to cut le hair. He didn’t exactly say yes but he didn’t say no. So i take it that’s a yes! hahaha

I googled for a suitable short haircut for round face and decided to go for somehow a long bob and i knew right from the start, if i ever have to cut my hair short, i will go to Abg Sam.

Since i was going to town to run some errands with the husband,  i made an appointment with him and let him decide what to do with my hair. In his words, i have quite high cheekbones and a nice jawline (he say one, not i say! hahaha) and then he asked if i am committed to blow-dry my hair. Because i no longer have to rush to work in the morning, i said yes!

He immediately said “ok we cut short!”

I gripped my chair at that moment and kept thinking “what the hell am i doing!!!”

But Abg Sam is very professional. He snipped off my hair within minutes, send me off for a hairwash and blow it dry like the pro he is.
It was all nice and fluffy that even the husband love it. I couldn’t stop touching my bob. Even till now!

i did not take much pictures after that haircut though but i took a picture with Abg Sam because he is just super cute, so chatty & friendly.
