Orchid it is!

Wow - that's all I can say to Jovian Mandagie's new collection for Tesco market. Who says you have to spend thousands to wear his. Let's deal with it, they could not be comparable with the thousands dollars dresses and outfit but they do look good still.

Ok, if so you know, Jovian is a young-Malaysian-fashion-designer. He's collections and designs are astonishing. Talking about his new collection - 'ORKED' (orchid in Malay) simply a beautiful fragrant flowers that to me is snobbish to care off but stylish to blooms off. 



What I like about this new collection is that, They can garb ladies with hijabs too. It's elegant but still projecting the politeness and softness of a feminine. Looks like I have add a new items on my wishlist for this year Eidulfitri :) yeeehaaaa

After looking at few orked designs of his, I could tell the principle that he's holding is traditional exquisite yet remarkable. The waist is lend with the sweet belt and orchid touch that makes the lady looks Eastern-well-bred. cutting and framework are clean and lean.

Here, enjoy few pictures of his (courtesy from JM's facebook)

Best Shrimp Burrito

I know I don't have many followers but I know I have readers and some are my regular 'customers'. Thank you for your support. Anyhow I'm writing not because I want people to read and know about me but it is one extraordinary medium for me to share and talk about with or without listener. Most of my readers are from the States and Malaysia and there are some from Russia and other countries (Thank you again) and that is why I apologize if I do my writing in a mix of Malay and English. Sometimes there are words best describe in Malays.

Enough with the unrelated intro, I want to share how fortunate I am living in the States where you can experience great collision of culture. Yes, you are so DARN right! I'm talking about food. You can get all kind of different food from different countries and they are originally cooked by native people of each culture.

My favorite food is of course Mexican Burrito and my favorite cuisine would be the Mediterranean. I thought all this while the best burrito would be the one with egg and cheese inside but yesterday, a field hand brought me a shrimp burrito. At first, I ask myself how on earth could shrimp goes well with cheese and egg. Eeeuuuuw hahah here's the thing, it was not as I imagine at all. There was no egg nor cheese in the burrito instead it has green bean with some sort of sauce that tasted like curry and it's spicy. Gosh! It's great Alhamdullillah :)

So stop thinking about breakfast burrito from Sonic or Ruby's. They're great but this is the real Mexican burrito.

Shrimp Burrito ~Yum yum~

3S (Spring/Summer Shoe Shop)

I'm a shoe lover. Oh yeaaaaahhhhhh I'm addicted with them :p. If you know who am I you would be shock that I have bunch of new shoes that I'm yet to put on but I still try my luck to spend pennies to buy more. Unfortunately, I left all my lovely shoes back in Malaysia because I don't see the objectives of bring them over while I can buy new new new shoes again again again. Hahaha

**Teringat my mom pernah cakap 'Hahaha, now you cannot buy heels' when I told her that i'm gonna work in a workshop and field where the only footwear is my steel-toe boot and not a stilleto.**

Thinking about buying no shoes for summer really killing me. I force myself to save my money for travelling but oh nooooo spending time waiting to run my equipment in hole on location makes me insane and I spend the time either learning Spanish or online shopping. Yeay it's a bad habit a very bad one but oh don't stop me from buying shoes because those are like drugs to me.

Heard of Kimora Lee? Oh sorry I'm not a fashionista and I don't know who she was but because I love JustFab.com, I saw her face on the homepage. Kahkahkah. I'm a very proud noob. I have few shoes from JustGab.com and shoedazzle that I cannot blink my eyes. They make me drop my mouth to my toe. I'M IN LOVVVVVEEEEEEEE!!!!

Personally, I love booties and boot. I could go with wedges as well and if I have a better choice, I would not go with high pumps. I can only stand for 5 mins in them and that's just it, butt lock on a chair. So it's not good during any event right? But heck yeah I still wear them when I can avoid grass and sand. Hahaha

This month wishlist including these 3 shoes (courtesy from JustFab.com) and shoedazzle.com does offer great footwear too.

Lock those eyes, sweetie

Get ready for Summer


Spring is just about to start

A piece of advice, shoes can make you taller and sexier but just watch you posture and back OK! don't hurt yourself :)

Malays are scared of Change?

If we want a change it must come from us - Anwar Ibrahim. Doesn't what he meant make sense? Oh sorry, Malays don't really think that way, aren't we? Thinking back, I wouldn't call myself a malay, I'm a Malaysian. I really teared my eyes when I see Chinese people stand up for their rights and dignities but what happen to the Malays? Are you people still wanting to be the slaves in your own country? You don't see that because the government is killing us softly. They use race issues as their 'democratic' approach and you typical Malays believe them till death.

We are being lied through the history of our own country. Why do people see the Tunku Abdul Rahman is the savior? why don't we look at Onn Jaafar as a great leader and hero? Because he has no space of speech after he was kicked out from UMNO. He has the first idea to unite all the races in Malaysia which eventually Tunku did after that. Yeah! 'democratic' so called I guess. Your history subject in schools are manipulated version of the real story. We are a country that gets the independence without any blood drops. Huh??? Aren't we great! Wow!!! Easy peacy money!

We are not ashamed at all to be corrupted country. Ya Allah, I'm so ashamed to be called Malays now because I need a change and I can't spill my thought for not being call as government opponent and 'Penentang bangsa'. I'm so sorry if you people hate me for what I said and about to say, but leaving in the States (yeah, I know it's just my 4th month here) makes me see how I don't see my future in my own country. I have no freedom to speak, I have no freedom to stand by my own rights?

How democratic are we? Leaders rule the constitution eventhough in your 'HISTORY' subject says Constitution should overruled everything. Kah Kah kah isn't that funny? Negaraku! One more big issue that I see the malays have. It's a darn deep disease chronic level 5 cancer. You hate to talk about the past. Whatever had happen, just accept that, familiar with these?

Redha, ini ketentuan Allah, kita manusia takde kuasa
Terima je la dah itu yang Allah tentukan
Apa yang Allah beri adalah yang terbaik
Apa-apa pon periuk nasi aku selamat, lantak pi la orang lain
Ala, cina mana nak tolong orang melayu, kita je dok tolong diorang. dasar makan ****
Kalau kerajaan tak bela hidup kita, kat mana lagi kita nak berteduh?

Aaaaahhhhh, cut these crap! Nobody is wrong when we say we have to accept this Qada' and Qadar but do we ever ask ourselves, are we actually giving the best and full effort in making a change to ourselves? Right, Usaha -> Doa -> Tawakal. but don't be the slaves of your own life. Nabi Muhammad SAW, he's the greatest leader of all time. When he fight, he fight at his best level and even he lost, he never give up. He try try and try till his opponent surrender themselves to him. So why MALAYS you have to give up and let the natural calls for the right?

Make a change, it doesn't mean that you have to kill others for justice. Stand on your leg, fight for your rights and dignity. Don't make them sleep in peace without telling you the truth. I know that I sounded like the opponent party in Malaysia. OF COURSE! not because of I anti the government but I want a change. I want to see how far the opponent can bring us in the eye of the world and in our lives. MALAYS are scared to take the risk because we want to live in our comfort zone and that is the reason why we are left far behind! Sorry peeps, I'm just saying!

I remember, back in 2006 I guess, Tun Mahathir came over to UTP for a talk. Oh, he's there every year. I will never forget these from his mouth 'Yesterday, I flipped through a book of Doa' and I stop over a Doa' for passing an exam. So, it's easy to pass, don't have to go to class and study. Just read this Doa' and you'll pass' and he laugh after that. Oh my, I was about to get my butt of from the chair and leave the hall. How could a person recognized to be the Muslim figure speaks in that manner? I wasn't aware of that at that moment. He was telling us that, you have to keep trying and DON'T GIVE UP! I hope that's what he meant. Not all the things that he said I can digest and accept but as for that, he made a sense.

I don't hate Malays and I don't hate the Chinese either eventhough my dad has been chased out from a Chinese workshop few years back when he tried to help the man. But I know my dad always doesn't want to see the fall of Malaysia because Malays did the same thing to him. Don't let your narrow mind to control your future. It's time to wake up people! It's time for change and keep asking for the truth because you deserve bunch!

Anyhow not all 'Malays' are typical, there are bunch like me too I know. I hope it's about time for Malaysian to take the risk :)
