Good Morning Wonderful People
Today is a very exciting day because it is baby Haziq Irfan's first time boarding the plane to meet grandpa and the rest of the family. I wouldn't say grandma because he met grandma a thousand times already.. Everyone in Kuching is so excited today waiting for the 3 months-old baby. He is the first child, the first grandchild and first great grand child of both side's macro family. Both parents are also first child of respective families. Now, you can imagine he is going to get lots of kisses when he arrive at the airport later..haha.
So i wish baby Haziq Irfan a safe journey and may Allah protect you and your parents throughout your destination. I can't wait to join you there tomorrow.
Hugs and Kisses <3

100% handmade
Flower Kerongsang |
A few new ones |
All you need in making these are ribbon, lace, buttons, needle and thread. The only thing that is a little costly is the lace i suppose. These are some of the examples of what i have done. There were lots more but i didnt get the chance to snap pictures of them as i have already sold some to friends and family.

If you have any suggestion or comments on how to improve or add anything else to the design, please dont hesitate to drop your comments. Thanks ~

Applauding Sarawak Damai Central
When i was in architecture school doing my degree, the lecturers always reminded us to design for the people. Designing is easy but to design an effective social interface is not as easy as it seems. Throughout my years as an architecture student, i realized it is not just about designing something out of the box, but, it is how you plan and order things. How you connect things is rather important be it a tangible link, a visual link or any kinds of linkages.

Juggling Life
In the everyday life, I wish to balance up all my responsibilities. I really hope that in the creation of this new (renewed) blog will enlighten me up and giving me a chance to log my experiences, be it about my study and research, spiritual, family, friends, hobbies, social life and all.
So, as Jenny Hoople stated in her blog, the color purple and green give a great combination of balance life. Although both are not exactly my favorite colors, but these colors symbolizes what i want in life. According to her, green embodies worldly balance and purple embodies spiritual balance. Green for the physical world, the natural world, a balance of life, of the life force. Purple for enlightenment, for balance of the immaterial, of emotional well-being.
Lets make it an aim in life to live life to the max. Never take life for granted and fulfill your dreams while you can. “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West |
So today, i wish to start out by merchandising the readers of this blog to a picture i found in my personal portfolio of self taken picture. i hope that this picture can uplift your spirits high as it did to me.
Green and Purple are the two contrasting colors but they always look great together. ( Melaka, 2012 ) |
Have a nice day everyone.

Marriage
Novermber-December
This is the time of the year when everybody plans to get married. And, me being the most eligible bridesmaid will be busy nonetheless.
Speaking about weddings, it made me think of marriage life. I had a friend who got married quite early and she told me that marriage isn't just about planning for a grand reception or anything, it is about a phase of being ready, where you are required to qualify yourself while entering a bigger realm of life full of responsibilities.
This has made me realized that we need to strengthen our aqidah, straighten our akhlak, and be true to our niat before stepping into the married life. Because it is not just about loving someone for the rest of your lives, but it is also about carrying responsibilities on your shoulders, and by responsibilities, i meant; Family(s).
I know i need a lot to learn, prepare and nurture before i get into a relationship. Therefore, i take this thankfully generous given time, to get myself ready mentally and spiritually because, someday, i will be married for a lifetime, not just a day.
To those out there planning your wedding in the near future, i wish you all the best in entering a new phase of life. May Allah bless you always.
Here are some pictures of my role model:
