Sense of Smell

おはようございます, Ohayōgozaimasu! 

Good morning, 

Speaking Japanese today. Am too busy with this event collaborating with Okinawa, Japan Tourism will be held at Aeon Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor this coming 6th November 2013. Its an Okinawa Food Fair for the public to enjoy the product from Okinawa that will be sell in Aeon Nationwide. Usually i will dream of something that i think too much on the day itself. So am quite stress and pressure to meet all the dateline. Rushing here and there, communicate with the Japanese that cant talk in English is quite difficult too. And am not sure they understand what am talking about. Urgh! Its a challenge for me as the Executive Director appointed me to be the Project Manager for this event. I really hope i can do it well and do the best i can to handle all the crisis and complicated madness all this round with my team mate . Yeah and thanks for reminding me am A Rockstar baby!You know who you are. *cross fingers*

While am having all this stress feeling all over, i realize that something can make me smile and keep me feeling positive. You know what? Its my sense of smell. Its related, when am in the bad mood, or stress or in my sleepy mode. Whenever i smell the good things, my face will turn happy mode on, and smile on myself 🙂 Its pretty interesting. 

You wanted to help me to turn the happy mode on? Here, i will definitely turn when i smell fresh flowers. Of course all of you know how the smell of the fresh flowers right?Feeling fresh! That’s why i have this routine to buy fresh flowers from the florist and keep in the bathroom. That’s what i do at home and changing to a new one once it died. Put it nicely in a clear glass vase, not only in the bathroom, i will also put it all over the house such as on the dinner table, on the side table and in the kitchen in front of the wash tub . Am not just smell but when i see it, I will automatically smile 🙂 

Next will be the house fragrance, always keep the stock. And also the smell of the body soap. I love it!And so does my car. i need all this fragrance to keep me positive and relax. And and and the scented candle. I will definitely buy it every time i went to IKEA. Just so you know, i cant live without the smell of vanilla or chocolate. That’s my favorite smell of all. And not to forget my dream is to be buy a house by the beach, up above the hills so that i can smell the ocean and wake up in front of the paradise. Absolutely Awesome. Keep calm and stay pretty.  

Love ya,

xo, f.

Self Reminder : Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have And Should Know

Hello!

Am quite busy but am not stopping my self from reading and i can’t wait to share something with you guys. Here’s interesting article from Huffingtonpost.com. Yeah, I realize this is my second post that is related to 30. I know i have 4 more years to spend my time before turning 30. Well just a self reminder Fatin. Happy reading!

In 1997, Glamour magazine published a story titled “30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She’s 30.” The list, written by Pamela Redmond Satran, was so popular that women started emailing it around, misattributing it to various female luminaries including Maya Angelou and Hillary Clinton. Noting what a phenomenon it had become, the editors of Glamour created a book around it, featuring essays from (mostly) famous women on each of the items on the list. The book, released today, includes meditations from Katie Couric on work and love, Portia de Rossi on accepting your body, and one from the list’s original author, who is also a Huffington Post blogger, on how to live alone.

By 30, you should have …

1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.

2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.

3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.

4. A purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.

5. A youth you’re content to move beyond.

6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.

7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age — and some money set aside to help fund it.

8. An email address, a voice mailbox, and a bank account — all of which nobody has access to but you.

9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.

10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.

11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.

13. The belief that you deserve it.

14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine, and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.

15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship, and all those other facets of life that do get better.

By 30, you should know …

1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.

2. How you feel about having kids.

3. How to quit a job, break up with a man, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.

4. When to try harder and when to walk away.

5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.

6. The names of the secretary of state, your great-grandmothers, and the best tailor in town.

7. How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.

8. Where to go — be it your best friend’s kitchen table or a yoga mat — when your soul needs soothing.

9. That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips, or the nature of your parents.

10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.

11. What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.

12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or not flossing for very long.

13. Who you can trust, who you can’t, and why you shouldn’t take it personally.

14. Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.

15. Why they say life begins at 30

What’s on your personal list of things to have and know — and possibly do — before turning 30?

List excerpted from Glamour’s “Thirty Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know By The Time She’s 30.”

Our Heart

The vault where we keep secrets

The place where we store pain

Our harbor for compassion

Where Love can be explained

Our Heart shows us forgiveness

Our eyes would never see

Our mind holds our life hostage

Our Heart sets our life Free

Don’t Scared Me

Happy Fly day all. 

I was so surprised this morning when my other half called and we talk about marriage. No wait. You know how i felt? Am scared. Is this really happening to me?I know he is just planning a few more years to go, but what is this?is this getting serious?okay just forget about this aite. Make me feel like i need to do this do that save here and there. Am i supposed to worry?am i supposed to make a decision?is just complicated! nooooooo 😦

After a few hours later my colleague Azlan, he is in creative team. He just randomly asking me, what are you proud of bout yourself?straightly answered, i have nothing to proud about. Is just sux right?Gosh. I am nothing. I am just ordinary girl who has finish studies, go on convocation twice, a degree holder, got my first job and still standing here, i get payment every month, still driving my first car, still staying with my parents and working like a chipmunk. Nothing much to talk bout. Is just me like there is no different from anybody else. And you know what Azlan told me?we have to be proud of our self. He just do some research and randomly asked. With what we have and appreciate things in front of us, and that all little tiny things make us grow stronger each day. All this things that we have now make us happy so we have to be proud of our self and that shows you ‘bersyukur be grateful. 

Yes, what he said is all true. But maybe certain people think different way. Like i did. Maybe my parents proud of me, my siblings does too, i don’t know. Maybe. But from my point of view, i need to be different from anybody. All of us can finish their studies, can go convocation a few times, driving, living under one roof with your parents, working and so on. So what am trying to do is get as much knowledge and added more skills from what i have now. And to achieve my goal. You can see all my wish list right? so there you go. Proud to be me if i can get all the wish list. Is impossible Fatin, but at least some 😀

Till then, enjoy your weekend!

xo, f. 

Wish List : Speed Machines 3

Horsepower in you hands. Heard of it before? 

Yes. The new G Class SUV is here in Malaysia. Am attracted to him currently!Huge, fierce, tough, masculine, unique and he smile at me. Hahaha Usualy am not into Benz, but not his time. He catch my eyes 🙂 Not just me, so does Kylie Jenner 🙂 Check it out! Kelly Jenner coordinates her leather mini skirts with the black $125, 000 Mercedes Benz SUV she got for her sweet 16. This is crazy man…..continue reading about her after you finish reading all this. Happy reading!

Well start talking bout the car please….:) There’s nothing quite like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class sports-utility vehicle. How many vehicles can say they were designed at the request of the Shah of Iran, have served as the official transportation device for the Pope, are used as military vehicles by nearly every major country in the world and are sold brand new fully swathed in luxury from car dealerships in North America?

Only one that we can think of: the G-Class. The G has been around for more than 30 years, although only since 2002 has the G-Class been officially imported by Mercedes-Benz. Previously, North American importation was through Santa Fe, New Mexico-based grey market importer Europa International. Since 2002, the G has been available new from Mercedes-Benz dealers, despite brief hiatuses.

Once expected to be replaced officially in the consumer market by the GL-Class sports utility vehicles, fans of the G protested and Mercedes-Benz relented. Thus, despite a history dating back more than a generation, the G-Wagen is still sold new. In fact, the venerable off-roader received an update for the latest model year that includes minor exterior tweaks, a more modern cabin and a new G63 AMG performance model

One of the most rugged vehicles ever produced, the “standard” G550 features full body-on-frame construction, solid axles front and rear, three differential locks and copious plating underneath to fend off rocks. Underhood is a 5.0 liter V8 engine that puts out 382 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 391 lb-ft. from 2,800 to 4,800 rpm. It features a seven-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift manual-style shifting.

Inside, the G550 continues to show its age thanks to an upright windshield, limited shoulder room and blocky design. Yet it’s exceedingly well built and now features a new instrument panel and a center stack that brings the secondary controls into the 21st century. Standard equipment includes Mercedes-Benz’s latest COMAND navigation, a harman/kardon audio system, a multicontour driver’s seat with pneumatic bolsters and extensive premium leather trim.

New standard safety features include DISTRONIC PLUS, Blind Spot Assist and the parking aid PARKTRONIC with reversing camera. The ESP stability control system has been revised and now includes Trailer Stability Assist.

Most G550s are special order items. All are built under contract by Magna-Steyr at an assembly plant in Graz, Austria.

DESIGNO

An exclusive selection of Exquisite pain, leather, and interior trim options, Designo is the ultimate expression of your style and Mercedes Benz quality. The beauty of a Mercedes-Benz is how it blends innovation you never imagined with craftsmanship they never forgot. Designo offers refinement and individuality on an even more rewarding level. Exotic choices and colors in paint, leather and interior trim are crafted with a personal touch, from their selection to their fitment to your automobile. With exquisitely tailored packages and a gallery of individual elements, Designo expresses your appreciation of design and our attention to detail like nothing else. See…wow right?!its amazing you can actually customize everything interior, exterior even the tools and accessories. Coolness!

Key competitors
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is arguably in a class of its own given its very truck-like design, but it still faces competition from the Range Rover, the Infiniti QX56 and the Lexus LX570.

Check out the website here at http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/class/class-G/bodystyle-SUV#waypoint=performance and don’t forget to build your own Mercedes-Benz G Class SUV!Superb!

Here’s the link you can read more bout Kylie and her baby 🙂 i wish i can be her! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2395962/Kylie-Jenner-coordinates-leather-mini-skirt-black-125-000-Mercedes-Benz-SUV-got-sweet-16.html

Sangkar

Good Morning Everyone. I live in a cage today. haha

Okay by the way, i wanted to talk about this Malay drama series from Malaysia called “Sangkar” in English “Cage”. Produced by Metrowealth Pictures Sdn Bhd (MIG), Director by Pierre Andre. Last night was the last episode, i watched with my parents, it touched my heart and feelings that i think i can relate it to real life. Even now i can still feel the impact. I cried, i know is a bit over, but it hurt and touched. I could’t help it if am in that situation. Plus, played by my favorite actor and actress Nazim, Arif & Nabila. Good Job all!

The summary of the series was like this 2 best friend from school called Umar & Yasmin. They actually goes to the same school and uni together. Their life is just involved each other till it create a love feelings between them. Yasmin told how she felt towards all this but Umar is like an ego man that don’t take any actions towards Yasmin at all. He will run from anything, from problems just to make things clear. I don’t get it. What kind of man is he. He’s not there when she need him the most and he will always run. Yasmin chased after him, she fly to Spain just to met him, she really miss him, but what happen is Umar never understand. Man, when girls really looking for you and she left everything just to see and meet you, please do understand that we care and love you so much. Not waiting for no reason. Get it? Gosh!Umar is such a huge mistakes when he did that. Till Yasmin get married to Umar’s father. That time was like, Umar really face what is he actually done to Yasmin before. They in love to each other but Umar didn’t take any action on it. Finally Umar’s father that always with her, and care for her wanted to get married with her. It was awkward moment when the 3 closed people are actually live under one roof. So hows Yasmin and Umar take this situation?Please watch this series. Its a very sad ending. Really sad ending, because usually i won’t cry if i watch any series. Feel it, you also could relate it to your own life. You know what makes me cry more?the soundtrack. Berganti Hati by Anggun (famous Indonesian singer) Here, below what summary that I’ve got from some Malaysian bloggers,

“Drama Sangkar yang bersiaran setiap Selasa dan Rabu di TV9, bakal melabuhkan tirainya pada 9 Oktober ini. Cepat masa berlalu. Rasa baru je tonton episod pertama. Budiey sekarang sangat teruja dan excited nak tengok penamat dan pengakhiran cerita ni. Korang pulak macamana?

Pastinya penonton setia drama ini ingin mengetahui kesudahan hidup Yasmin (Nabila Huda) dan Umar(Nazim Othman). Mungkinkan kali ini Umar tidak akan lari daripada masalah seperti kebiasaannya dan mempertahankan cintanya? Yasmin bagaikan pasrah dengan sikap Umar dan baginya, tiada apa yang perlu disesalkan Umar kerana semuanya sudah terlambat. Hanya Tuan Syed yang setia berada di sisinya di saat dia memerlukan sokongan dan teman, tidak seperti Umar yang sering melarikan diri apabila ditimpa masalah dan membuatkan Yasmin hilang harapan.

Umar menjadi hilang arah dan berang apabila mendapat tahu bapanya, sekali lagi seperti cuba merampas apa yang sepatutnya menjadi miliknya. Tuan Syed seperti sengaja untuk melihat dia terluka. Umar cuba memujuk Yasmin untuk mengubah fikiran, namun hati Yasmin sudah bulat dengan pilihannya. Tetapi jauh di sudut hati Yasmin, cintanya masih kuat terhadap Umar dan dia tahu, hatinya tidak akan pernah berhenti daripada mencintai Umar.

Bahagiakah Yasmin dalam sangkar ciptaannya sendiri sedangkan dihatinya hanya Umar yang bertakhta? Adakah Umar akan mempertahankan cintanya atau melarikan diri sekali lagi? Masihkah ada sinar bahagia buat mereka berdua? Saksikan konflik cinta terakhir drama Sangkar yang dilakonkan oleh Nabila Huda, Nazim Othman, Zul Ariffin dan Amee Sharmaine pada 9 Oktober ini, jam 8.30 malam menerusi slot Ratu di TV9.”

Check out the promo on top and you can just download it through this website or watch it again in TONTON :-

I can watch this series many time if i want to, but i will cry each time i watch. Hope you enjoy it!

 

de·mo·ti·vate

Define DEMOTIVATE. make (someone) less eager to work or study.

Hello all, hope everyone is good out there chilling, working, reading, resting, sleeping and whatever. My mode on *demotivated* today. I feel like am a loser. Being late to work with a busted parking space with a freaking hot weather and the sun shine early this morning. All i hope today was for my gtalk mail from some kind of job search engine pop out ” hey you are the best candidate and we would like to offer you work at our best company in the world, you can start your work on bla bla bla” . Forget bout it Fatin, am not even get any of the interview from any big either small like really cikai company. That’s really sux. And the best part of what demotivated me was, I don’t feel comfortable what am wearing today. Yes is a new shirt where i like it alot  and finally ive bought it. BUT, am getting fatter! i cant believed that am feel that am soooooo freaking fat. I look fat in this shirt, and i feel like my button will come out anytime if am not pin it up right away. gosh!than i can really fit my favorite jeans nicely. I have to jump up and down to get in. What is just happen to me!It turn my confident level down. really down. I realize this when last weekend i try to fit in my baju kurung for wedding but noooooo i cant get in and at last am wearing my black jubah. How scary right. And I have a new hair cut where i cut it short. Some people like it, thanks to those for your positive comments, i take that as compliments, but some just told me straight to my face “you look chubby, you look bigger, i think you shouldn’t cut your hair, i think you look good in long hair, what happen to you?”. Okay, i just feel like am doing a bad decisions on all this. I know people always told me that don’t listen to what they said, they are just bringing you down. But sometimes i have this negative vibes in me. Always, till i don’t know how to get rid of it. I have to do something with all of my body and the rest of all people talking bout my changes. So i decide not to talk and walk around the office today, but too bad i have to walk a lil bit far to the back to get to my car today. And checking out website, article regarding “how to motivate the demotivate” scroll up and down roll my eyes from left to right. Yes, i think i might come up with other idea which jog every morning before i go to work. YES, PLEASE DO THIS FATIN!

And am just about to go back, had a lil chat with my colleagues Pam just now, she very keen to try a new recipe on this website http://www.gluten-free-vegan-girl.com/  Pam is this kind of girl who really avoid eating red or white meat and prefer more vegies in any kind of process daily. I check this website out, and ya really interesting food and delicious dessert and all. I think this might change my way of eating after this. You might want to try one of those recipe on the website actually after you view it. And i might end up live healthily after this. what do you think? good body shape, no extra fat and be confident all the time with my comfortable outfit of the day.

Hope ill success with one of the recipe tomorrow for my breakfast!Will update it tomorrow!. Happy trying!

 Good morning! As promised i bring my oats in a jar. Have a look.

There you go. Get the jar somewhere in mummy’s glass cupboard. Thanks mummy!The ingredients was Quaker Oats, Honey, banana & mango slices, peanut butter jam and finally add some almond to feel the crunchiness. But you have to soak the oats overnight and keep in the fridge. And this is what you get!Maybe you can have this for your delicious healthy breakfast. Thank you Pam!I start my day today as a positive person on earth ever.

Happy trying and hope all of you have a lovely day!

xo, f.
