Charles & Keith (CnK ), Lebanese Breads & Korean Food...

Ting tong! Anybody home?!...huhhu...eeee...sekarang ni susahnya nak cari mood untuk berblogging. Free time memang ada berlambak-lambak, tapi banyak dihabiskan dengan family, sekejap turun JB, then turun Puchong, jalan sana, jalan sini, shopping sana, shopping sini. Memang betul-betul free tu!

No long post for today entry. Hey not to forgot,...Salam Maal Hijrah to all Muslims. To mention my new hijrah, emmmm...nothing extravaganza. Pray to Allah for a stronger heart to myself and my family throughout the up and down journey of our lives. Always think positive and seek for any good opportunity to improve ourselves, doing good to others and have a great and wonderful life with the loved ones!

Charles & Keith (CnK)

Talking about the loved ones, Abah was so sweet for paying the CnK bill for the girls...ooppss not to mention including mama girl too!

My CnK shopping bag...

Not only one, but two bags!

The simple black shoulder handbag and purse for match...

Currently, CnK are having offer up to 50% for this Christmas season. But, the day we went there were few weeks before. So, only selected items were on sale. Mine, the shoulder bag was 40% off and the purse was 30% off. Great right?!

There is one white carry bag,....you know I love and craze for white stuffs. Tapi tak ada offer lagi. So, tomorrow nak pergi MidValley, tengok dah ada offer ke belum for Christmas. ;)

Lebanese

"Abang Ram, lebanese cheese dua dan lebanese chicken cheese dua", order Enna kat Abang Leban. Hahahaa! Aktiviti membeli roti lebanese nih dah setahun sebenarnya. Sejak stay kat BBI, tepi 7-Eleven kat rumah ada kedai mamak kat situ, Gulf. Boleh kata, hampir tiap-tiap minggu mesti pergi beli.

So, kira dah setahun jugak Enna ada affair dengan abang Leban kat situ. Dulu, abang Leban berjanggut tebal dan berkopiah putih ada skandal ngan Enna. Tapi sejak Abang Ram, abang Leban yang baru ambik alih tugas abang Leban dulu, huh...dia buat roti lebanese lebih besar dan mantap dari yang dulu! Yum...yum..yum!

Apa itu roti lebanese? Ini pun kebetulan ternampak, ada international student beli kat situ. Roti yang digunakan adalah roti yang sama untuk buat naan, cuma dibentukkan panjang-panjang dan ada filling.

The filling...

Harga untuk cheese with black sesame hanya RM2 satu. So, gambar kat atas tu dah dipotong dua. Dan yang chicken (chicken tandoori cincang) with cheese hanya RM3 satu. Apa yang buat roti ni best adalah cheese yang digunakan iaitu Fetta Cheese. Rasanya creamy dan masam-masam, memang sedap sangat.

Satu batang cheese dan satu batang chicken dah di ngap oleh kami...

Siapa yang selalu makan roti naan kat Zubaidah mesti pernah tengok kuah cicah warna hijau. Itu

memang our favourite. Nama kuah tu, entah apa, tapi warna hijau dan masam-masam. Sedap betul cicah untuk roti lebanese nih.

--------------------------------------------------------

Korean Food

Before shopping for bags at CnK, we had dinner at MidValley foodcourt. Perasan tak gambar kat bawah, yang mama and Enna berbaju kurung, abah berbaju batik? Baru lepas balik kenduri kahwin sebenarnya.

Makan...makan...makan lagi...

We tried two Korean dishes there for a change, Bibimbap and Grilled Sanma Fish or Kongchi Fish. Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish. Bibimbap tu dalam bahasa Korea means "mixed rice". Bibimbap tu ada nasi putih, daging cincang, beberapa jenis sayuran dan telur goreng kat atas. Kalau nak makan cara orang Korea makan, kena gaul semua sekali dalam mangkuk tu.

Bibimbap = Mixed Rice = Not My Favourite. Huhuhu!

Grilled Sanma Fish = My Favourite

Sanma Fish (called in Japan) or Kongchi Fish (Korean) or Pacific Saury, the texture similar to mackarel tapi lebih sedap dan rasa berlemak. It is a seasonal fish dan harga pun memanglah mahal. Tak caya, boleh check kat Tesco. If nak makan sekali sekala boleh lah kot.

The raw look of Sanma Fish...

Macam terpanjang lak post nih, tadi cakap nak short-short jer. :) So, that's it for the day. Chao!

Grace Kelly's Wedding vs. Mai's Wedding (Huda's Friend)...

I guess this is my second post about wedding stuffs. My first entry, early of the year was about Navy Blue and Pale Pink Wedding Theme.

Entry tentang wedding keluar balik coz of tarikh keramat 10.10.10 tahun ini, hooo...macam-macam benda yang berlaku. Pasangan yang berlumba-lumba nak kahwin tarikh tu, memang tak perlu cakaplah, berduyun-duyun berlumba untuk grab tarikh tu. Tapi yang paling menyayat hati ialah accident ngeri kat Utara-Selatan highway, area Rembau. Mengucap panjang betul aku ngan Enna. Nasib baik, kitaorang tak gerak balik Melaka time tu.

Oklah. Kita bukan nak cerita hal accident ngeri tu, tapi tentang wanita gambar kat bawah ni. Ada kenal ker? Nama dia Grace Kelly. Time kita lahir lagi dia dah meninggal. So, what was so special about this woman?

(Source: Internet)

Grace Kelly gorgeous look with her wedding veil and her legendary wedding dress...

Kita cerita sikitlah tentang dia. Dia ni once upon a time, in the early 5o's was a Hollywood movie star. Sehinggalah dia fall in love and married a prince from Monaco (area Western Europe), Prince Rianier III. Lebih kurang macam kisah Cinderella, cuma tak ada mak and kakak-kakak tiri...huhuhu aku agak ler.

What made her so special till today was because of her wedding dress. Tengok elok-elok cutting baju dia. Kalau baju tu lace dari leher, sampai pergelangan tangan dan pinggang, kemudian ada balutan kain untuk lilitan pinggang dan skirt kembang labuh, itu dinamakan Grace Kelly's style.

(Source: Internet)

Royalty look...combination of creamy white and pale yellow...

The dress was designed by her friend in the film industry, Helen Rose who designed wardrobe for Hollywood movies. This was what Helen felt about her enchanted creation,

"the dress should be simple but feminine, ladylike but not necessarily regal. It should not overpower Grace's beauty".

Nak dijadikan cerita lagi, pada 10.10.10 the sistas berkesempatan attend Huda's friend's wedding, Mai kat Puchong. She applied Tiffany Blue Wedding Theme for her memorable day. Nice!

Huda and Enna with Mai...

And she of course, wearing the Grace's inspiration for her whitey lacey wedding dress! Ehem..ehem..gosip sikit. Orang-orang belakang dapur kata baju tu from RR. Whatever, all brides should look stunning on their big day, kan?

Meja makan beradap...like the round fan paper art for the backdrop design...

About Mai, dia ni memang multi talented sejak dulu lagi. Huda kata semua hal wedding dia, dia yang incharge. Siap ada oven besar bakar ayam golek tuh kat wedding dia. Mantop!

Dia ni memang aktif bab ambik tempahan buat kek, biskut tak kira raya, wedding, apa sahaja. Pernah jadi mak andam segera, inaikan pengantin, pengapit pengantin, buat hantaran pengantin, so memang tak hairan pun kalau wedding dia sendiri semua dia buat.

The tiffany blue fondant cake...nice flower fondant art...

p/s: Esok examku yang terakhir...tak sabar nak merdeka dah ni!

Shocking Pink Chiffon Scarf...

Bukan nak melobby Enna ke apa walau intention tu ada...huhhu! The one to focus was the chiffon scarf. I bought it at Mimie's Boutique at Tesco, Melaka. First time beli scarf harga ratusan...tapi memang berbaloi dengan hasilnya. Fuhh...lega!

It was a last minute shopping to help Enna select the best attire for the Convo Dinner 2010. As the guests semua pangkat VVIP, pening kepala PA nak pikir style untuk digayakan. Budak nih, kalau tak guide, memang pakai belasah je pakai apa yang dia suka. So, still with her black scarf from Turkuaz, and the white wavy kurung moden pun memang penyelamat sebab memang dah beli awal-awal standby for any emergency event.

So, tup...tup jumpa scarf Siti kat Butik Mimie nih. Mimie nih punya lah suka berceloteh, cerita betapa dia minat pada tudung Siti lah, apa-apa lah, tudung dia jual lagi murah dari Arianni (memang murah pun) dengan beads lagi, so tawar-menawar dapatlah discount. Mula-mula risau takut tak match jer with any dress yang dah available kat rumah. Luckily we have the match with the white kurung.

For extra, I bougth a pink pearl brooch. Murah jer, penting nampak elegant and nice.

As I could not accompany her to the event due to my master classes, so siap kena dress rehearsal cara-cara nak pakai tudung macam mana and so on. All the makeup, she need to do on her own.

So, bila jumpa photo nih at MMU Photo Gallery, puas hati sebab apa yang digambarkan menjadi. And, she also matched the look with black platform heels and black and white bangle.

Jom Heboh, Krubong, Melaka...

Penatnya! Penat kerja kat ofis compared to penat kat ekspo with huge crowd, aduhh...memang berbeza sangat. With speakers everywhere on every booths, bising promote barang jualan masing-masing, bising pasang lagu kuat-kuat lagi, termasuklah booth Berita Harian (BH) salah satunya.

Why BH? Enna is one of the residence artist for them and this is the first time teman dia turun padang promote booth BH at Jom Heboh Karnival.

Interesting and fun activities that could be seen for two days starting 7/8/2010 - 8/8/2010 at BH booth ialah kuiz teka silang kata, magic clown for kids, karaoke contest and performance from artists such as Ezelyn, Adam AF and a new singer who was the champion for Bintang Idola BH (BIBH) together with Enna at Klang before, Shima.

BH had arranged 2 slots for performances, 2 p.m & 5 p.m. I told Enna to wear casually to make her comfortable during the day. We just add some accessories here and there.

Thing to take note, if perform kat tempat macam nih is no need to stress much on your voice or vocal. Importantly, the way we treat the visitors such as invited them to sing or dance along . It means that your showmanship must be very good at this time. Kesnya, kau menyanyi lah sebaik mana pun, kalau satu tempat tu dah bising dengan macam-macam bunyi, sesak ngan orang, so cara nak attract orang ke booth kita, kenalah pandai entertain pengunjung dengan baik.

Second day...

Performance on the second day...the specky girl (top pic on the left) is Ros. The leader for BH team during the karnival. Any decision making jer, tanya Kak Ros dulu, boleh ke tak. She is the same age as Enna.

My duty cam biasa, mendandan budak tu, tapi takdelah heavy duty work. Gave some opinion s what to wear and pening jap pikir what kind of fesyen aku nak buat ngan kepala dia.

Then kat sana, need to snap photos here and there (tu sebab gambar aku selalu je tak banyak....huhuhu sedih tul), then ambik video lagi...hoiii penat tau!

Tapi takpe, cheque payment nanti aku yang pegang hihihi! Terus hilang penat aku!

About the karnival, the reason why they moved to Stadium Hang Jebat area (before at MITC) coz of wider space. Especially the parking space. The place was divided into three area. Jom Heboh area and two areas for other booths.

The two other areas were selling crocs, ladies clothes and scarfs lah, souveniors, food dan apa-apa ajelah yang sesuai unutk dijual.

On the first day, tak ada sapa nak teman aku makan bihun sup coz Enna bz sangat time tu. Terkilan jap sebab ada dalam 2 gerai yang berjual. Cam best jer tengok orang makan. Apalagi, the next day barulah Enna and Mrs. Min menemaniku untuk menikmati bihun sup di sana. Yeayy! Sedap tau.

Wait jap-jap. Apa kes Min tiba-tiba muncul dalam cerita aku kan? Jawapan dari Min..."Suka hati aku lah nak muncul kat mana-mana pun"...hahaha! Ingatkan dia tak jadi nak ikut. Tapi sebab dah berjanji punya pasal, muncul jugak budak tuh depan rumah aku. So, on second day, Min lah peneman aku and merangkap assistant Enna for unofficial duty for that day...huhuhu.

First day...

Performance on the first day...nervous jap budak tu. Terkejut kot tengok ramai sangat pelbagai jenis orang kerumun kat dia. Tapi kejap je tuh. Bila dah jumpa adik dia si Shima, dah bergurau senda dengan orang-orang BH, relaks je ajak pengunjung menarilah, berceloteh lah. Sampai aku ngan Huda gelak kelucuan kat belakang tengok gelagat Enna layan pengunjung...hahaha! Antara soalan Enna, "Adik datang kat sini untuk berhibur yer." Budak tu blur-blur jer macam cakap ye lah takkan datang nak kerja kot. Takpe Enna take your time, enjoy every moment ngan "peminat-peminat" kau yer.

Apa lagi nak dicerita...mmmm...so far Melaka visitors were very positive, supprotive and tak malu-malu untuk beraksi dan menujukkan skill masing-masing. Cam biasa, gerai jual barang dalam beg RM10 setiap satu adalah kemestian untuk dibeli sebagai kenang-kenangan kat Jom Heboh selain gambar glamour photoshoot kitaorang yang paling atas tu. Untung Min sebab dapat free je satu copy. RM5 tu satu print...untung ye kau Min.

Then, sempat juga met some of TV3 celebrities, Azizah Ariffin, Nurul Shuhadah dan ada beberapa lagi yang muka kenal nama tak taulah pulak. At Maxis booth, ada nampak Tomok tengah promote kat sana juga.

Shima and Enna...

Lastly, inilah Shima yang sekarang dah jadi recording artist under Adam AF. Not bad juga Adam yer, dah ada artis sendiri under his own recording label. She's just sweet 18 and wow her performance sekarang dah daring sikit akak tengok dik. Totally different masa jumpa on BIBH dulu. She will release her album or her single, tak sure which one . And her promo new song is Luahan Hati. Sempat dengar dia bawakan lagu baru, tapi tak dapat tangkap betul-betul melodi lagu tu. Tunggu dia release after raya jelah yer.

Huagghhh...need to sleep now. Dah kul 2 ker! Good night...erkk morning!

Jom Heboh, Krubong Melaka (7/8/2010 - 8/8/2010)...

Jom Heboh punya cerita...coming soon!

Black Lacy Bag...

My bag addiction is back. Is it a good or a bad sign? I simply couldn't resist on some of the latest trends in the market. And, there were few stores in Melaka such as at Jusco Big and Parkson stores that caught my eyes. Not yet to count in KL! Latest news from Huda my sis, she bought a new Coach purse at Berjaya Times Square (BTS) ...errr...I mean a pink Coach. She highly suggested BTS coz there were lots of imitation designer bags as well as other cute bags from Korea which were so marketable in Malaysia nowadays. Kat Jusco Big tu, kebanyakan stores kat situ bila tanya, product dari mana ni adik. semua nih dari Korea, Japan kak. Huh...not bad jugak quality barangan Korea especially. Furthermore, we're not that insane to buy the authentic ones, as the imitation look almost real.

And, while window shopping at Jusco Big and at the same time searching for shoes, I've found this store...Cartino Sonea. Never heard the name, but some of the bags been displayed here caught my attention. Entering by looking at the store sign or brand name is not one of my habit. I just simply walk in into any shop which I feel, first I could afford the items being sold, second the store which makes me comfortable to belek sana sini, penjual yang peramah or cute store decor. There's one store on ladies apparel claim that the dress that I hold had been appeared in Nona magazine. Owhh ye ker, maybe bila cakap macam tu, kot-kot I akan beli, hmmm...nope, tak beli pun akhirnya...hihihi!

So, here I present the bag from Cartino Sonea...

Inilah begnya...cantik tak?

Takkan itu bagnyer kan...so here it is, the black lacy bag!

I love any kind of imitation bag from Channel. Nak beli Channel mampu actually (cover2 sikit...hihihi), tapi memikirkan kalau duit tu spend for food, clothes, vacation or shopping lagi kan best, so imitation is the answer.

I showed the bag to Huda and Enna, boleh pulak diaorang ketawakan bag aku nih. Huda kata dah macam bag baju dalam Audrey je aku tengok, tapi comel untuk kau (kata-kata nak menyedapkan hati aku...cis). Whatever, close your ears to other people words as I was so happy to carry it around during convocation...huhuhu!

Not that pricey, below RM100ish. The bag need to handle with care as it is full of black lace. So, pakai sekali-sekala sahaja disarankan. Kalau ada rasa-rasa nak pinjam for any occasion ker (especially orang yang kutuk beg aku), boleh no problem, no heart feeling ok!

My favourite bag of the month...huhuhu! Gaya cakap macam beli bag tiap-tiap bulan!

Video & Photo Shoot at Cyberpark...

I love this picture so much...nasib baik tak tergolek masuk tasik time nak snap gambar nih...huhuhu..

We decided to choose Cyberpark as our video shooting location. It was around 2 p.m and there were no sign of visitors around, memudahkan kerja video shooting nih dan memudahkan Enna ambik feel and mood to sing. It was so windy at that time, memanglah best angin sepoi-sepoi macam tu, tapi part yang tak best once we play back the video had been recorded, bunyi angin punyalah dasyat, sampai dah tak dengar suara Enna.

Come and fly with me...angin memang kuat time nih...the dress was the proof...

Kenapa tiba-tiba buat video shooting nih? Enna had been listed as Top 12 for TM Got Talent and she will be representing MMU for that competition. And, orang-orang kat TM nih pulak banyak songeh la pulak, requested us to make another video for the online voting. They want something different, not singing by using minus one, want to see the originality, maybe play piano ke bla bla bla. Yang paling geram, they want the video within three days! Senget ke apa? Kat mana kitaorang nak cari piano player, sapa nak tolong record and so on. So, this was the last minute thing, no time to think about, so I just try my best to shoot the video on my own.

Ahhh...lega dah siap...

Enna just dressed up with dress that she wore during BIBH, put some simple makeup and off we went to Cyberpark. We promised to send the video around 6 p.m to Menara Rebung, pukul 2 p.m baru nak shooting, adoi! We finished around 4 p.m, transfer and edit the video at home before heading to KL. Met those TM guys around 7 p.m, pastu siap cakap, video nih banyak goyanglah, bunyi burung, bunyi angin....eee geram pun ada. We were so exhausted and we just said to ourselves...lantaklah kau nak cakap apa...memang tak kuasa dah nak pikir.

Enna tengah melahap...

And, this is picture before we start our work. We just packed our food and memang best betul makan kat situ. Lain kali, nak makan, picnic ke kat situ lagi.

Huda and me...makan dulu sebelum kerja...

Genting Highland & PWTC...

The montage...

We're heading to Genting on Saturday afternoon as Enna had promised to meet Ramli MS there. We reached to the top around 4 p.m (plus minus with lunch, prayer and relax), and after struggling searching for parking at Hotel Resort parking area for an hour, luckily we had the best spot and the weather started to feel a so windy and we were shivering in cold. Arena of Stars was just opposite the building where the ABPBH will be held. There was nothing surprise to see the hall, it was not huge as shown on TV screen. We just mingle around, watching the rehearsal. Kak Engku and Sharifah Shahira were the host, watch performances from Faizal Tahir, Black, Typewriter, One Nation with M. Daud Kilau, Aaliah and Dayang, Dania Danielle, Marsha, Dafi, Hafiz, Airil, Akim, Khatijah Ibrahim and much more...

Enna, Huda and Me...

Supposedly Enna got the VVIP ticket to walk on the red carpet on that Sunday night. But, I thought it was just wasting our time to stay watching the event, thinking about the cost and so on. So, we just canceled the walk and watching the rehearsal was more than enough for me, sampai bosan sebab malam pun rehearsal jugak. As the point of going up there just to meet Ramli and that's it.

Huda and Me...jalan-jalan...

It's almost 7 p.m and tiba-tiba Enna datang kat kitaorang (dia teman Shima kat belakang stage tengah makeup) cakap "Jom, Abang Ramli ajak pergi makan." Hmmm...eloklah tu, aku memang sejuk-sejuk ni, bertambah lapar jer. Me and Huda met and greeted him, so off we go to the "makan place". On the way, met Zubir (the reporter), dengan dia sekali ikut kitaorang pergi makan. "Eeee...kat mana dia nak bawak nih, kenapa kita pergi ke apartment, dahlah macam scary je tpt tuh...eee...jauhnya nak pergi makan, dah menggigil nih..." mulalah aku pikir yang bukan-bukan. Memang dah standby pertahanan diri yang tak seberapa if anything happen to us kat apartment tuh. Ting! 15th floor, masuk satu rumah...fuhh lega...rupanya semua famili Abg Ramli nih tengah berkampung kat situ. He said, he will always bring her mom if he need to come to Genting, sebab makanan mak dia jer dia boleh makan kat atas tuh. Macam-macam mak dia masak dan BANYAK! Rupa-rupanya, dia ada restoran kat Singapore...hmmm patutler...memang dah biasa masak banyak. So, apalagi perut dah lapar, makanan terhidang depan mata, homemade pulak tuh...yumyumyum. Sambil makan, I tried to listen to Ramli's and Zubir's conversation about entertainment industry stuffs, haihh...kuat tul ngumpat-mengumpat artis and Zubir was so good on making jokes!

Enna and Me...at the lobby entrance...

After the delicious dinner, we're heading back to the rehearsal, sat there for a while, and mata pun dah layu...tanda-tanda nak booommmm.....tido! Jom balik tido...huaarrggghhhh. Next day, after transfer our luggage into the car, jalan-jalan jap di kawasan sekitar and pergi lunch kat rumah Abg Ramli before heading back to KL.

At Shoes Exhibition...

Huda suggested to have a visit at PWTC as there are lot and lots of exhibitions going on, starting from kitchen appliances, house decor, furnitures and....SHOES! Wahh...bestnya! Huda kata ada Jimmy Choo shoes exhibition...so menapaklah jugak kitaorang kat sana. It was the last day of exhibition, and luckily we went there to see various type of activities been held. Ada shoe decor competition, dapat jumpa Jimmy Choo empat mata, tengok sejarah pembuatan kasut, few workers buat kasut secara live by Zang Toi and many more...

More Shoes Festival Ads...
