style your pakaian tradisional

2014-11-11T16:00:00.000+08:00

Salam, everyone.. ;)

School holidays will be here soon, ofcoz banyak la nanti jemputan majlis2 and kenduri2 yg nak kena attend, ye tak? Nak cari outfit yg sesuai? If you ask me, I will always choose pakaian tradisional for any occasion.

Why?

The pakaian tradisional will never go out of style and this is proven as fashion designers are always constantly coming up with new designs to perk it up. In the old days, women have a limited amount of designs to choose from to style to various occasions. However, as time passes, designers have created stylish designs to the traditional wear for women in order to fit every woman’s taste and preferences. Nowadays, women can find trendy and modernize designs of baju kurung and jubah to choose from various local and international brands available. There are plenty of ways a woman can style their pakaian tradisional into a more dazzling look. The first tip is to pair your traditional outfits with the perfect choice of footwear. Women who want to look fancy and stylish in their traditional wears should definitely wear a pair of killer high heels as high heels are said to boost a woman’s confidence automatically. However, if you prefer a simpler yet feminine look, choose a pair of matching ballerina flats and walk with comfort all day long in your stylish pakaian tradisional.

The second tip for women to perk up their traditional wears is to have fun playing with accessories. Women can choose to wear the full set jewellery from earrings, necklaces to bracelet in order to highlight their outfit. For the hijabista ladies, slip on a nice sparkling bracelet or wear some fancy brooches for your tudung. Mix and match your accessories to get that refreshed yet elegant look.

The third way is specifically suitable for the hijabista ladies who want to look ravishing in their pakaian tradisional. As we know, the tudung fashion has evolved throughout the years with plenty styles and woman can select any one of these styles to add some dazzle to their outfits. Instead of opting for a plain tudung, women can style their way with a nicee stylish shawl for a completely modern appearance. Interested to try these styles with your pakaian tradisional for a revamped outfit look? Check out ZALORA for a wide range of pakaian tradisional online to choose from and select the ones which suit your personal style. Perk it up and walk with confidence everywhere you go.

*last week, ada salah satu hari tu I decided to wear baju kurung instead of long sleeves and a pair of jeans (am a very simple person and the outfit I comfortable to wear anywhere, anytime - hijab, long sleeves and jeans/pants).. sampai je kat sekolah, bila cik alya masuk je dalam kete terus tanya,"mama nak gi beraya ke mana??" agaknya masa raya aje kut orang pakai baju kurung.. hurmm -___-"

heluu November

How time flies, it is nearly end of the year.. lots of things happened throughout the year.. the good.. the bad.. which sometimes i dont know how to respond or react.. at times, i stay away.. sometimes i just let it be.. but most of the time, I face it, fight it, internally..

Anyway, my younger brother and sister will be celebrating their birthdays this month.. 20th and 23rd November, six years gap between these two.. what should I get for them? Hurmmm...

Okbai.

*The Library and Love In The Rain are both Thai films that I really enjoyed watching lately.. as the story lines, the colors, the music as well as the cinematography are just beautiful.. I can watch the films many2 times without getting bored, serious.. books? yuppp.. still reading.. though there are few I haven't read and still wrapped in plastics, but I don't know why I keep adding more and more..

ahhaa.. berhashtag kite.. ;)
a very blissful day at Desaru beach.. serius pantai sangat bersih dan cantek.. cuma hari tu agak panas, ehh tak, sangat2 panas.. kitorang tak bawak baju tukar pun sebab en.din tak bercadang nak mandi, cuma lepak2 dan main kat tepi pantai aje.. jarang2 dapat ke pantai, kalau pegi pun nuuuun jauh di Kuching sana - pantai Damai, pantai Pasir Panjang..

and on the same day, just before we left home for Desaru, buku yang ditunggu2 sampai.. the latest novel by Melur Jelita - The Unsung Hero (Wira Yg Tak Didendang).. guess what? Hero pun ikut sekali gi Desaru! punya la sayang, tak sanggup nak tinggalkan kat rumah.. I love to read all Melur Jelita's novels.. sangat2 admire and sayang dengan kesemua karakter2 yg dia ciptakan.. ada sesuatu tentang mereka, sangat sesuatu.. i just dont know how to explain..

*Tatkala telinga ini selalu ditadah untuk mendengar, sesekali diri ini ingin juga didengar.. tak perlu bicara panjang, cukup sekadar dipinjamkan sedikit masa untuk berkongsi duka dan gelak ketawa, sebagaimana diri ini sentiasa ada untuk sesiapa, bila2 masa.. berat? tak jugak sebenarnya, mainan perasaan kut.. bila Allah ada, tiada apa yg mustahil.. :)

mimpi

2014-08-26T21:19:00.000+08:00

Indahnya mimpi semalam..

Mimpi menatap bima sakti @ milky way.. sangat2 cantek langit malam itu, tak tergambar dengan kata2, subhanallah.. and i still remember how the nite sky looked like.. biarpun cuma dalam mimpi.. hanya dalam mimpi..

Photo above taken around 7am, 16 Syawal yg lalu ketika fenomena supermoon.. nun semakin rendah di ufuk barat, the morning moon shines brightly, as if it says - "hey, look at me!"

*siang tadi disapa seorang makcik, bertanyakan tentang anak.. sambil tersenyum, diri ini sekadar menjawab seadanya (nak elakkan isu ni berpanjangan, coz I know what will happen next since I always being asked the same question), namun dikatakan menolak rezeki, tak cukup berusaha.. siapa saya nak mempersoalkan rezeki Allah, perlukah dikhabarkan pada dunia apa yg telah kami usahakan? once the short conversation ended, i feel so in pain.. really in pain.. until this moment..

distraction

2014-08-24T23:45:00.000+08:00

"My problem with reading books is that

I get distracted.

By other books."

and it happens..
i was reading Petaka Nyawa, entah cam mana leh tertengok telemovie Kau Untukku (adaptasi dari novel karya Aisya Sofea) kat tv.. so apalagi, laju je tangan pi ambik novel tu dari bookshelf, belek2 and feeling2 klmj (it was the first 'thick' malay novel i bought online from Alaf21 twelve years ago via maybank2u).. and guess what? now am reading Kau Untukku untuk kesekian kalinya.. sekian.

*ermmm.. ape ye....?

forgiveness

2014-08-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

(*pic - googled)

Indeed.. sombong dan ego tak ke mana.. hati orang sebegini tak kan tenang selamanya.. saya petik sedikit kata2 dari Mai Tuan, salah satu watak kesayangan saya dalam ILUS dan MyPI karya Melur Jelita:

"Kita hanya merendah diri kepada Allah. Tunduk dan sujud pada kebesaranNya. Jangan merendah diri kepada manusia kerana manusia ini selalu melampaui batas dalam perbuatannya. Bila kita merendah diri, difikir kita ini mengagungkannya dan mulalah kita nak dipijak dan diinjak. Merendah hati adalah yg sebaik-baiknya. Kita sentiasa sedar dan tahu diri, siapa kita, siapa manusia lain dan siapa Tuhan kita."

..merendah diri hanya kepada Allah, merendah hati sesama manusia.. baca dan hadamkan..

novel2 Melur Jelita setebal kamus, ketiga2 nya (ASST, ILUS, MyPI) mencecah 1000++ mukasurat tapi saya tak terasa terbeban membaca, kerana terlalu banyak kata2 yg memberi inspirasi yg menusuk ke dalam jiwa, kata2 yg membuatkan diri ini tersedar dari khayalan.. dan kini sedang menanti buah tangan beliau yg keempat - The Unsung Hero (Wira Yg Tak Didendang).. dah boleh baca pun sikit pengenalannya kat sini :)

*jauh.. jauh hati.. ngilu tak terperi.. I have done my part, selebihnya hanya berserah pada yg maha Esa.. hidup kita bukan panjang, forgive n ask for forgiveness, selagi hayat ada.. kemudian nikmatilah sisa2 hidup ini dengan tenang dan bahagia..

assalamualaikum..

i received a good response on my yesterday's post, from a mysterious silent reader (yg tak berapa nak misteri.. hehee) in which it took me quite sometime to digest the words n replied what i had in mind..

well.. it is good sometimes to have a long n deep conversation with someone.. this kind of conversation, with jokes n laughter in between, comforts me a lot.. it is not necessary bout problems or gossips or love whatsoever, perhaps it could be bout life – sharing opinions, pro n cons.. it widen our views, to 'see' things in another perspective, to agree and disagree, to respect others' opinions..

kadangkala kita tak sedar, perbualan sebegini menemui diri kita yg sebenar.. diri kita yg hilang suatu ketika dulu..

cinta itu rezeki

2014-04-15T22:50:00.000+08:00

Dari DrMAZA.com:

Cinta adalah rezeki. Bak kata Nabi s.a.w tentang isterinya Khadijah: "Aku telah direzekikan cintanya" (Riwayat Muslim).

Apabila ada orang mencintai kita itu merupakan rezeki kerana bukan semua orang dicintai. Seseorang yang beristeri ataupun bersuami belum tentu mendapat nikmat 'dicintai' ataupun 'mencintai'. Apabila kita mempunyai isteri ataupun anak yang cinta dan kasih kepada kita maka bersyukur atas rezeki cinta itu.

Apabila ada orang tampil menyatakan cinta dan kasih kepada kita, maka kita bersyukur. Mungkin kita dapat membalaskan kembali cintanya dalam bentuk ikatan tertentu, mungkin juga tidak. Namun rasa cintanya kepada kita amat kita syukuri kerana ramai orang tercari-cari cinta dan kasih sayang di sana-sini tidak berjumpa sedangkan kita memperolehinya. Apa yang penting urusan cinta dan kasih itu dikendalikan dengan cara yang betul.

Apabila seorang sahabat memberitahu Nabi s.a.w bahawa dia menyayangi seseorang kerana Allah. Nabi s.a.w menyatakan: "Beritahulah dia". Lalu orang itu memberitahunya: "Aku mencintaimu kerana Allah". Lelaki itu menjawab: "Moga Allah mencintai engkau yang mencintaiku keranaNYA". (Riwayat Abu Daud).

Terima kasih kepada semua mesej cinta dan kasih, moga Allah memberikan kebaikan untuk kita semua.

*inspiring words.. aye? :)

hey, you!

2014-04-13T23:55:00.001+08:00

yes, you!

as promised, this is what i have been reading currently (right after i finished Runcing and Kala Senja Dia Datang).. lama peram buku ni.. berbulan jugak rasanya.. belek2 dan baca sinopsis nya berulangkali and now i already read it halfway, couldnt stop reading.. i read it line by line, dont wanna miss even a single word − sayang!

karya2 Melur Jelita are worth to read, insyaallah.. banyak berkisar tentang perihal cinta dan kasih sayang sesama manusia dan juga terhadap sang Pencipta.. sangat santai, namun sarat dengan emosi dan pengajaran.. in which sometimes, i feel the words hit me hard..

a dramatic weather changes - from the clear blue sky to cloudy, from breezy to slightly windy.. yet, i didnt move an inch from where i sat and from there i saw cik alya and my youngest sister were playing with a stray cat on the other bench.. both are cat lovers - pantang betul kalau jumpa kucing, kucing tu pulak macam tau2 je, terus datang gesel2 kat kaki.. hmmm..

*a wise man named Rumi once said that - "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." well, am very agree to that.. instead of letting everyone talking too much about everything all at once, giving too much thoughts that we know no one would hear or agree, plus create more arguments rather than sharing the good ones, why dont we once in awhile hold our tongue and try to listen to others.. from there, we will realize that there are so much different we could make just by doing so.. peaceeee ;B
