How to find the perfect shoes

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:52 PM 1 comments
Ok, sebelum i cerita pasal the 9 hows to find the perfect shoes. let me cerita sikit about what happened to me semalam. and yes, cerita ni ada kena-mengena dengan kasut. I was at one-utama semalam. Objective utama is to get my one-card changed to to one card-card+. Lepas dah tukar card tu, i decided to just jalan-jalan and check out some new stuff. Err...ok...check out new shoes.Haha. Mula-mula ingat nak masuk kedai Charles and Keith tapi tak jadi. So i pun jalan-jalan la towards Aldo sebab ada signboard shouting "SALE".Heheh. Tapi kan, tak masuk pun sebabkan i i saw another signboard shouting "BARGAIN CORNER.DISCOUNT UP to 70% on selected ALDO shoes.One-card holders get 10% more". Tu diaaaaaa.....Menarik bukan? .

So i masuk la kedai bargain corner tu...Byk gak la kasut on bargains. I didnt mind so much kalau kasut tu dah out of season. JANJI, kasut tu menarik and it suits my feet. Konon-konon dalam hati tak nak la beli kan sebab budget dah disediakan sebab nak beli cute things kat OLDBLOSSOMBOX STORE. So setelah membelek dan men-try kasut-kasut kat sana.I finally settled for a red high-heeled shoe. Price? RM65 after 70%+10% discount! What a steal!. Tercapai gak impian nak beli kasut color merah. Orang cakap, bila mencari memang takkan jumpa. Bila tak mencari, confirm ada punya depan mata.So yeah, itula ceritanya pasal cik fira dengan kasut. Ni pun cik fira dapat berita yang kawan dia ada buat shoe clearance sale. Dah la kasut kat kedai kawan cik fira tu lawa-lawa pls!. *sabar fira sabar*.

OK!
Kembali pada tajuk entry pada malam ni.

HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT SHOES?
*adopted from wikihow.com*

1. Go into the first shoe shop you see and look around. Look for a pair of shoes that you think looks nice.-------------> ini adalah betul, sebab bila cik fira masuk shoe shop and skali pusing nampak takde satu pun yang nampak nice and menarik..then i'll just politely say "Thanks" to the salesperson and then walk out from the kedai :)


2. See how high they are. Consider if you can walk in heels, how comfy they will be, etc.-------> ni pun betul, kalau kasut tu cantek macam mana pun, and kalau kasut tu nampak macam kasut yang Victoria Beckham pakai, jangan la beli la dik oii, nescaya kasut tu akan tersimpan dalam store jer sebab bila pakai kasut tu confirm kaki akan sakit. Trust me. It happened to me byk kali. :P. Penah sampai berkaki-ayam kat shopping mall.HAhah

3. Look at the price, and think about how much you are willing to spend.--------> yes darlings, kena la ikut budget kita yer...tu pasal la cik fira suka cari the best deals for shoes.jadi la pembeli yang bijak, tunggu la bila ada SALE! alah membeli, menang memakai :)

4. If they have passed all of those points, try them on. Walk around in them.------> try la jalan-jalan dalam shoe store tu. lama pun takpe. Shoes must be COMFORTABLE at ALL times especially if u walk a lot.

5. Make sure they fit perfectly. If they rub even a tiny bit, put them back and keep looking. If they are hard to walk in, keep looking.------------------------> kalau rasa your pretty little toes tersepit and rasa macam kasut tu boleh "mengigit". Jangan la beli gak. Sebab akan terjadi juga scene seperti dalam point number 2

6. If they have passed all of these points, look in a mirror and see how they look. Walk and see if you can walk normally and easily in them.-----------> kalau depan mirror, u all rasa macam beyonce takpun lady gaga lepas pakai high heels tu and kalau u all rasa macam johnny depp atau brad pitt lepas try loafers/sneakers tak pun kasut kerja, then fine. but then again. jalan-jalan again to confirm the selesa-ness (ahahahah).

7. Look at the colour. If they are white, will they get scuffed and dirty easily? What are they made out of and will they be easy to clean?-------------> ok, putih memang cun. Akan rasa macam rapper yang cool bila memakai. Personally i love white shoes. Its a great color especially if you to want look on the edge and look fresh. If u beli leather shoes in white, kenalah jaga dengan rapi and if the shoes are made from canvas, then takdehal la. senang jer nak cuci. kalau nk putih lagi gila-gila, tenyeh la dengan kapur kasut.HAhaha.Takdela, tipu la.Macam kasut sekolah la pulak kan.

8. Think about how you'll look in an important situation in front of a cute guy/girl.
----------> betul betul betul (betul la gak kan). Takkan la nk pakai kasut pelik-pelik depan your date kan? Basically, pakai la kasut yang sesuai at the appropriate time and place.Contohnya, takkan la nk pakai high heels bila tgk concert kat stadium? Tak sesuai dik oii, seksi tu memangla. tapi kalau dah berdiri berjam2 kat stadium tu and kalau la concert tu kat ala padang yang coincidentally hari tu hujan and berlecak. Kan dah rosak kasut tu. Tapi kalau nak gak ada DIVA status tu..Go ahead. No one is stopping you. And kalau pegi fine dining, takkan la nak pakai selipar kan (dituju khas pada kaum adam)? Hihihih. :P.


And finally.....


9. If they pass all these 9 criterias, buy them and take pride in wearing your perfect shoes!-------------------------------> oh yes bebeh! Feel the "power" the shoe brings you. Seriously, wearing that perfect shoes will certainly make u feel different about yourselfs.

GOOD LUCK !


with shoes, we travel the world

Tapi selalunya takde plak yang complain. Sebabnya..


Cik Fira memangla babysitter yang baik!
*angkat bakul sendiri*


Tapi yang pasti, budak-budak ni dah breakfast. Dah tgk DVD ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS sampai 2 kali and now tengah tido. *tarik nafas lega*. Sekarang bolehlah cik fira sambung baca buku ECLIPSE

Sekian :)

Cerita Jualan Cupcake and Muffins di karnival WOW Putrajaya

Posted by Fira Tirona at 1:11 PM 0 comments
Oh Ma God!


Dah 2 hari..Eh, 3 hari tak update blog. Macam mana la nk update dek non, Akak and sepupu sibuk berniaga kat Karnival WoW Putrajaya Sabtu and Ahad lepas. Walaupun tak hujan, walaupun langit sangat biru (hati haru-biru tatkala menjual cupcake and muffins takot2 tak laku), walaupun banyak artis2 yang lalu depan booth kami (tapi tak stop beli pun *nada hampa*), mak aihhhh!!!. The cuaca was so PANAS i tell you!. Walaupun tak dapat tengok concert malam pertama karnival (hati sebenarnya berkobar2 nak tengok Abang Jamal, Abang M.Nasir, Aizat dan artis2 lain perform), walaupun tak dapat merayap-rayap kat area karnival tu and walaupun dalam masa yang sama dok memikirkan abstract yang perlu dibuat untuk di-submitkan pada Prof hari Rabu ni (ok, bab ni lagi haru-biru), cupcakes and muffins kami dapat juga dijual.


See, the sky was SO blue.


Terima kasih pada yang membeli, terima kasih pada yang datang ker booth (special thanks to my kekasih hati,Ina, Bob,Din, and En Nadzreen) kami untuk bagi support. Kami masih baru dalam arena perniagaan,masih banyak yang perlu dipelajari. Tapi yang pasti, banyak pengalaman yang we all dapat dalam masa 2 hari tu. Ditemani pula dengan parentsku yang sangat supportive and juga anak-anak buah i yang masih belum cecah 5 and 6 tahun. Budak-budak ni siap tolong bagi flyers kat pengunjung yang lalu depan booth kami. Berkat kesungguhan and kecomelan dio orang ni gak la ada orang yang sudi jenguk and minta info lebih pasal D'Taste. Tapi, agak-agak budak-budak ni rasa bosan, depa letak balik flyer, pegi main plak kat "playground kecik" depan booth. Biasa la kan budak2.So, sebagai reward, i treated them with KFC. Happy sangat budak2 tu.


the kids helping out


fresh muffins and cupcakes


owner making her cupcakes looking colorful


flyers and biz cards


the product in packs


yours truly, (ya ampun, muka gelap gila please sebab cuaca sgt terik,nyesal tak pakai sunblock)



Yang penting pengalaman yang ditimba. Mudah-mudahan D'Taste akan berkembang dalam masa akan datang. AMIN! :)

I'm feeling GRUMPY and MOODY today. Why?

STRESS

............................................

dari semalam mengadap SPSS. Analyze data untuk thesis.


Oh the Al-Mighty. Please give me the strength to endure all this. Permudahkan la segala urusan berkaitan thesisku. AMIN..


Semalam beli new shoes pun still tak boleh let go of this feeling. Retail therapy DOES NOT work for me for the time being i guess.

Back to SPSS now. Sekian

Me: Ziqr! (my nephew yang comel berambut curly tu). Ziqr lukis ape tu?

Ziqr: Jik (as how he call himself.pelat budak umo 2 tahun lebih) lukis....*suddenly in silent mode*. and he came showing his drawing.

Me: Looking at his drawing. It was only a not so straight line. So i asked him la." Ape ni? Ziqr lukis ulat ker?

Ziqr: Jik lukis cacing ar la **ninang ....*bagus budak ni, daya imaginasi sgt tinggi*

Me: I replied."ok...but what is cacing ziqr? *nak test IQ konon2nya*

Ziqr: CACING TU ... *sambil garu kepala*.....CACING TU LALAT LA!

Posted by Fira Tirona at 7:02 PM 1 comments
Mengapa dengan title sebegitu pada today's post?

Bukan nak mengutuk, ,mengata tau..but this story really tickles my heart

Earlier today i chatted with a friend of my uncle's and i tell you dia sangat la HOT MAMA walaupun dia dah ada anak tiga. MELETOP gitu tau!. Haha. Anyway, we were chatting about shoe, bags and tempat makan-makan yang best kat area kota damansara. Then keluar cerita pasal dia baru beli hanbag color kuning kat Braun Buffel yang berharga RM1****.** (harga tidak boleh disebut disitu ,haha). And i typed "wow!" secara tiba-tiba bila aunty tu sebutkan harga bag dia baru beli tu.

Ok, stop cerita pasal bag tu. Then i pun dengan selambanya tanya "how's uncle (referring pada hot mama punya hubby), fira tengok uncle maintain gila tak AGED sket pun"

Aunty menjawab: "Uncle dan TUA and GEMOK!"

Both aunty and I: gelak2 sambil letak icon gelak besar kat YM tu :))

Pastu dengan selamba aunty HOT reply balik...

Takpe, sebabkan dia bayarkan bag aunty beli semalam tu..dia HENSEM and COOL

Again.... i replied with that icon tergelak besar kat YM tu.

pAstu i jawab kat aunty HOt balik: Funny la u aunty! (padahal in real life mmg tgh gelak2 besar sebab aunty cakap cenggitu.


Oh aunty, walaupun uncle dah tua gemok and boroi. dia tetap hensem di mata aunty kan?.haha.sebab tu jugak la aunty dapat gak bag yang bernilai rm1****.** tu.

Habis la i kalau aunty tu baca blog i ni..JANGAN MARAH K? PEACE OUT!

p/s: aunty HOT MAMA cakap dia tak jumpa apa-apa kasut yang menarik. betul tu aunty. i second that ;)

OMG!, u should see his face yang sangat paranoid sebab takut kena berdiri atas kerusi (it's normal at TGIF if u have to stand on the chair on your birthday). Well, he did not only stand on the chair, but he had to dance (accompanied by a hindustan song played by rizdman's hp).Hahah, so funny!. And the sweetest part is when he gave a speech thanking everyone (especially sha, the bday organizer) who came for his bday. We love you faiz! :). We hoped you had a great time last night

How to get paid by nuffnang?

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:32 AM 0 comments
It's a question by myself. Not a blog on the steps to be paid by nuffnang. Honestly, I'm stil a bit blur about the payment thingy. I made a blunder by not placing up the code at the proper place (basically i was so noob that i didn't know where to put the codings into my blog.BOO!).Haha. Anyhow, my dear uni mate, budlee showed me the way to letak my coding properly. I was so determined to fixed up my problem that i actually went up to his lab at the faculty and going like "Baz! kenapa i tak boleh letak nuffnang ads coding kat my blog ni?". Nasib baik la ada budlee, kalau tak, entah mana-mana la i will letak the codings. So, yeah, codings placed nicely and terpapar la the ads kat my blog. Not only that, nuffnang changed my status to a Gliteratti member. How nice! *smiles*

Being happy, about that. I was still unsure about how will i get paid by nuffnang. I went on reading other blogs and i stumbled upon this blog site entitled "BoIsAnerd". And paling best at his blogpage ada gambar betty suarez from the series "ugly betty". Sebenarnya, gambar blogger ni diibaratkan dalam office,he's sitting down smiling at his workstation. pastu ada gambar america ferrera hanging on the wall at his workplace. OK, now try imagine. If it's too hard to do so, just click "Nerd boy" at my daily reads column to understand what i mean..

Ooooooookaaaaaaaaaaayyyy, back to the main point. I dropped a comment asking him on the matter at his page after reading his post about being paid by nuffnang. There was so many comments by other bloggers congratulating him on his pay and ada juga ada bloggers yang share their excitement on getting paid as well by nuffnang. So nice!. I wanna get paid too :)


Question is..........How and When will be eligible enough to get paid?.


Say cheese! Hahah. I'm a specky like Betty Suarez too.
(Ish, ish, lari topic plak)

p/s: pencinta kasut hopes to get paid. so she can buy more shoes. No la, so can buy school books :P

For the love of shoes

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:49 AM 2 comments
Shoes shoes shoes! I really love shoes. When i go online, the first thing that i do, Eh, no no, the second thing that i would do after checking my email and Fb, is checking out new shoes on various blogshops. And if i go to my fav mall, is the shoe shops that i'll be checking out first. I would be happy if i have the KA-CHINGS! to spend on shoes but i would be very FRUSTRATED if the funds are not "Happy". Haha. I get even MORE FRUSTRATED if, i have INSUFFICIENT FUNDS and the shoes i aimed/saw/happen to see was like ON SALE! or DAMN CUN that i really have to get them at that moment. Sighhh....See what shoes can do to me?.

ANYHOW...

I have so many shoes in mind that i want. Will blog on that one soon. Need to get back to my thesis now. arghhhh...*now calm down fira. think positively. completed thesis=good job=LOTSA SHOES*.Insya-Allah.AMIN :)

A night at Putrajaya

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:40 PM 0 comments
NO PEOPLE! i didn't go there to dating2. I was there for the putrajaya night marathon.As promised, I'll update all you readers out there regarding this event. Few minutes back, i googled "Putrajaya Night Marathon". And there you go, ramai kot bloggers yang bercerita pasal marathon ni. Rajin betul bloggers diluar sana memeriahkan event yang sihat ni. Kudos to all bloggers who participated yesterday *applause*.

Myself, along with my bro and dear friend of mine took the 7.7km challenge. Ada 4 category sebenarnya. The 5km, 7.7km, 21km and 42km. Since dah penah try out 5km during the DUKE marathon, i decided to challenge myself in the 7.7KM category. I was so nervous before the run that i felt that my knees was tearing apart.Haha. Seriously, NERVOUS!. Therefore, to not feel that way, i had my Sony MP3 pumping with adrenaline rush songs to make me relaxed. So yeah! Ran 7.7km without stopping although i (and other runners) had to endure three "bukits".OMG! sangat penat please but i had my mind set to finish the run and not trying a bit to stop and walk. I even tried not to be disturbed by others trying to "potong" me but just to enjoy my night run accompanied by the tunes playing by my mp3.

ALAS!. Habis jugak the run. With have been training for the past 1 1/2 months and even though tak menang the cash prizes, I managed to finish my run in 50 minutes and got 195th place and entitle myself with a cert and a finishers medal. But the most important is that i completed the race. I was happy with myself.

Sampai rumah terus terbaring kepenatan. Haha. The tiredness ruled over the hunger. Maka tido la terus. Niat nak makan menjadi mimpi dalam tido jer la. Once again, Big CONGRATS to all participants and winners of the marathon. :)

Mestila nervous o-kay sebabnya esok sure ramai gila runners yang hebat-hebat. The ones that run effortlessly sedangkan aku pulak lari tercungap-cungap macam ikan terkeluar dari tempayan. *again being so dramatic*. Took my running kit yesterday at Putrajaya. Hope i'll just enjoy my run tomorrow and not be too worried about the race. Oh Oh, this even banyak sponsors tau. NtV7 ada, Nestle (bestnya, sure ada milo sejuk yang kita minum time hari sukan sekolah dulu.yum yum), 100+, FymFm pun ada. Macam-macam ada.

So, come join me tomorrow night at Precint 3, Putrajaya. Nak datang jadi cheerleader i pun boleh. Hahahahah.

Me Love Food

Posted by Fira Tirona at 7:10 PM 0 comments
I admit, i love food! yum yum.And that makes me a foodie. When i was a child I find food fun. I'm always eager to try out new stuff. The color, texture, shape, size and taste fascinates me. For instance, I remembered my mom told me that when i was 5 years old, she said that while i was trying out "tempe", i told her that it tasted like cockroach.Thinking that i didn't like it, she thought that i would just dropped it on the floor or what not. But she was surprised that i kept on eating it along with my rice. Ever since that and being a "anak jawa", tempe have always been one of my fav food. *think sambal tempe and kentang..and oh! oh!, sambal goreng....hmmmmm....droooles*









Next good stuff that i memang akan cari kalau pegi makan nasi campur kat kedai kakak kelantan that i always go every sunday is.. IKAN KELI or gulai ikan pati yo!. OMG, u can say whatever about that fish but it is simply DIVINE!. tho its ugly looking (ikan keli), but the meat is soft and sweet. hmmmm yum!. Ikan patin on the other hand has also a soft and sweet texture. i called it "salmon malaysia".SEDAP ok!. Ikan patin is said to have good properties to healing wounds.

Next: NASI AYAM! *kat uptown sedap. nasi ayam hainan with taugeh*
Next: SUSHI *zanmai the best!*
Next:IPOH HOR FUN KAT KOPITIAM SEC 13. *ha amik, siap promote lagi*
Next: GOOD CAKES and DESSERTS*like in LA MANILA and DELICIOUS*
Next: GOOD SANDWICHES like the ones at obriens

ok, blogging about food is making me hungry. Im going to stop here. Basically, i loooove foood and foods that are not well prepared/cooked/seasoned turns me off *snap snap*. Oh well you get the drift.

Tapi yang penting...choose good food, eat well and in moderation savor the best!


p/s: Are you a foodie too?.

The adrenaline rush during the last runs i participated with the KILLER HEELS (nama team running saya, sgt sex and the city kan?) at DUKE and ekiden run made me want thirsty fore more of these events. Therefore, myself, along with my brother and other friends have signed up for another upcoming marathon which will be held next month at putrajaya. And the best part of it is that...kita akan lari waktu malam!. Yeay! Tak panas!. and BOO! tak boleh keluar dating tengok wayang.ahaha

Anyway, now tengah bersemangat training untuk berlari sejauh 7.7km!. So come and support me on the race day!. kedatangan anda semua amat dihargai :). oh ya, nak datang cuci2 mata pun boleh. *giggles*

Mama!, Kakak nak kawin gak!

Posted by Fira Tirona at 6:50 PM 0 comments

(courtesy of buyweddingdress.net cantek please :) )

"Kawin tahun ni? Ish, tak la 2-3 tahun lagi (sambil buat muka sweet, ayu lagi confident)"

This will be the answer that i'll always give when asked "U bila lagi" or "Bila boleh rasa nasi minyak u plak". Adoi. (garu kepala). Cam ner nk kawin sekarang mak oii! Belaja pun habis lagi.OK, sekarang boleh tutup topic about when will i be getting married.

The final months of 2009 for me was filled with friend's weddings and engagements. Sampai tak terpergi pun semua. (Sorry eh kawan2). But anyhow, i'm always excited to see other people's wedding and engagement pictures. Its just that i'll just get amazed on how the wedding set up is done, how the hantaran deco is done (me even like to see what is on the dulang hantaran more.haha), the baju used by the pengantin, the theme of the wedding and so on..(lepas tu, akan berangan sorang2 on how my wedding will be..hmm.typical. tp tak kisah la janji diri happy.hahahha).
My dream wedding would be:
1) night garden wedding
2) nak pakai dress style modern tak pun baju kurung pesak gantung
3) live band (ceh ceh, over betul)
4) photographer and videographer yang terrer so that muka i dalam gambar nanti flawless
5) barang hantaran yang best. cake and cupcake fondant
6) ada fresh flowers
7) datang ker lokasi naik BMW X6.
8) tipu jer!. nama pun Dream Wedding. Tapi hakikatnya i would want a simple and nice and yet a memorable wedding for me, family and friends :)......(tapi kalau nak cincin emas putih with diamond dari tiffany boleh?.wah wah wah.sempat lagi tu)

Ok la, i better stop dreaming and think hard on what to give a dear friend of mine on her wedding this Friday!.

P/s: Its ok to dream. Yang penting wedding shoe kena tempah. LOL ;)

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:28 PM 0 comments
Its the new year!. And macam biasa, i've listed a few updated resolutions. I don't consider all new but just revised ones. 2009 has been rough for me and i berdoa everyday that this year will be better that i'll catch up with the pace and try to not to fall easily (i hope).Anyhow, my resolutions this year would be:

1) To finish up my thesis. (Long overdue)
2) To have a hot bod like Fergie's. (sambil buat muka serious) *giggles*
3) To have more patience and be a better person
4) To read more so that i could blog in a more creative manner and get paid. 8)
5) To train more so that i could sign up for more marathons
6) To save money every month and not to be so boros. Oh god please help me

Not only that, i would want to help my cousin on her baking biznes so that i could earn extra $$ to spend more.Haha. Haih baru kata nak save money. Hmmphh.

Hope that 2010 would be great year for all of you out there too. So here's a toast to a great life ahead. Cheers!

One Kopiesatu please! :)

Posted by Fira Tirona at 4:32 PM 0 comments
It was just supposed to be a lunch and gossip session at sushi zanmai with a dear friend of mine. Bukan calang-calang, she's a lawyer mind you and single too ahaks! ;). Drove to one-utama for our japanese delight and ordered our fav which was the grilled unagi along with other yummies on the conveyor. Upon finishing our lunch i asked my friend what will she be doing next and she said that she was free the whole day. At an instant i asked " Pegi Jln Tar nak?...I teringin iced calypso la". She agreed on the Jln Tar part was vague on the iced calypso part.Nevermind i told her. Jom pegi Jln Tar.

The main plan was to get the iced calypso from Kopiesatu. Kopiesatu is a local brand name which sells iced and blended coffees on a lorry. The lorry is like a stalled kiosk next to Semua House. If u people ada around that place. Sure tak miss la. Anyway, we decided to go jalan-jalan first instead of getting our sweet treats. Told myself while walking NOT to get anything but the temptation was so great that i bought 5 pasang tudung selendang for myself.Tsk Tsk, bad Fira. Feeling "guilty" i told Sha to lets get out of the place before i start splurging more. Hahah.

So got ourselves our sweet treats before leaving home. I got myself the iced latte calypso (It's milk coffee, just that the coffee is in the form of ice cubes, melts slowly in the latte mixture to get that sweet and bitter taste). Divine!. Sha got her self iced cappuccino with whipped cream on top.Yum too!.

Drove home happily and sempat singgah bird park!. That will be our next plan :)




Tu la dia..the drinks from kopiesatu.Siap promote lagi. (We ought to get paid for this.Haha)

Yeay!. Esok Puasa!

Posted by Fira Tirona at 1:37 PM 0 comments
I welcome the holly month with open arms. And yes, i start wearing the tudung already today!. Tested la Wednesday when i was out with a dear friend of mine. And she asked me this, "ape perasaan kau bila dah pakai tudung ni?". Good question i asked myself. But i selamba-ly (ada ker such slang?..ahah..belasah!)..answered.."I feel covered".LOL.

I remembered when i was in lower primary. My parents would tell us that if my bro and i puasa penuh then the reward would be RM300. So that means satu hari puasa RM10..ahahah.Giving us that incentive made us puasa penuh the whole month.Of course, for only that year. :). As i grew, i began to understand that puasa ni benda yang baik and how you should take the opportunity to make good use of the puasa month by going for terawihs, reading the Al-Quran and Yassin more and not to be tempted and be greedy while buying food for buka puasa. I even encourage my younger cousins to puasa, kalau cannot tahan full day, half day pun jadi la. At least by that way, they know the feeling of being hungry and thirsty.

So, appreciate the holly month and jangan ponteng puasa! :)

P/s: pencinta kasut will go shopping before the sale ends!

Hadeeja

Posted by Fira Tirona at 8:22 PM 0 comments
Hey, people. As i'm writing this, i'm still with flu. Had it since Friday and because of that, the flow of my activities for this weekend are all disrupted.Thanks flu. JUST GO AWAY.

Hadeeja- a cafe i went to this afternoon for lunch with my fairygodsister. FGS told me that ths cafe is owned by Deja Moss and Anuar Zain. Loved the deco of the cafe.But sayang, the signage wasn't up yet. *sesat sekejap*.Memang ikutkan hati tak nak ikut as my fever and flu was still embedded in my system. But kerana FGS, i still got up from bed to take her there. *sniffles*.

Ok since Hadeeja cafe specializes on sarawak food. So we ordered Nasi ayam masak hitam (yum yum, walaupun hitam rupanya, but i loved it), Laksa Sarawak (not to my liking as it was too 'berherba' for me) and Mee Kolok. (Quite nice, macam Wantan Mee) and not to forget the kek lapis sarawak (loved the coffee flavored one). Overall, food was ok, but i hope the management could add up more food into the menu!.That would be lovely! ;)

Al-Fatihah to Yasmin Ahmad. I felt sad. A true talent left the entertainment world and as well the fans of her work. I personally think that all of her movies were really good and that no one could ever replace her. No more hari raya adverts from her as well this year. *s0bs*. ikan di laut, asam di darat...... ='(

I'm feeling dizzy, gonna hit the sack now. Till then. Stay tuned. :)

The Change

Posted by Fira Tirona at 7:55 PM 0 comments
Gosh, it has been awhile since i last blogged. I think that my writing skills are getting bad by the day.It's July now and i can't wait for Ramadhan to come by as there will be some changes in my life. Be it on appearance, habits and my current lifestyle.



The reason of this soon coming change was not influenced by anyone but myself. Once you get the calling, you know that you need to make some difference in your life for the better. I did, get the hidayah one fine morning few months back. The 1st person i texted was my dad as i told hime my intention and he replied to me that whatever you do, I'm all for you and there is no forcing for you to do so. He just advised me that if i've decided for that change, he hoped that I'll stick to it forever. From that day onwards, I doa everyday so that my decision and kata hati is right and my Allah lead me to a better path. Insya-Allah.Amin.



I am done with late party nights and getting home wee hours in the morning. Maybe another one more round won't hurt?.. *giggles*. Yes, I am prepared for the change.



P/s: pencinta kasut is stressed with her thesis.wish me luck!

How Time Flies

Posted by Fira Tirona at 10:54 PM 2 comments
Gosh, how time flies. It's the mid year already and at this particular time, i've noticed that many of my friends are busy attending weddings, getting married and getting engaged. As for me, i've been invited to quite a number of weddings and NO, i am not eager or planning to get hitch that soon. To those who are stepping to a different phase of life, congratulations! and mudah-mudahan kekal ke anak cucu :).

Speaking of anak-anak and cucu-cucu...Two (out of four) of my god children will be celebrating their birthday this month. They are; Mohd Rizq Haikal who is turning 5 this 21th and Arra Batrisya who will be turning 4 this 29th. Earlier last month, these 2 siblings had celebrated their 3rd brother's birthday, Mohd Ziqr Uzayr. He is 2 now. And as for the youngest of the lot, Mohd Rayd Ruzayn, he will be celebrating his birthday in October (Not so soon tho..Phew! ;) )
As the title of my blog says; these kiddos are growing up too fast. Each of everyone of them have their own character and personality.
When i got to know that my FGS was pregnant with her 1st, I WAS SO SO EXCITED. I will go online everyday to find and choose cute cool name for him. And when my FGS decided to name his Rizq Haikal. I was like ok. Rizq means 'Rezeki'. So yeah, budak tu memang pembawa rezeki. Then tak sampai setahun rizq tu lahir, there came Arra Batrisya (ni lagi excited sbb baby girl!), meaning "berpendirian" and god, she really is a matured little girl..Just guess what she wants for her 4th birthday? ...She wants an ALL GIRL BDAY. Meaning, no boys allowed, even her Baba..So funny!. And when we asked her again about her plan, (and thinking she just might just forgot about it), she will tell us the same thing..See told you she is very "berpendirian".U go girl!... Pls do grow up like your Ninang ok?... Hehe..And yes, she is my pride and joy of my parents as they just adore baby girls.(perasan jer my parents tu..hihi).

Tho these two can really get me on my nerves, i just simply adore them. My heart just melts away when they come and kiss me on the cheek and embrace my tightly and how they will ask me to get them chocs/ice cream/sweets when take them to the shop. To Mohd Rizq Haikal and Arra Batrisya, please do know that Ninang sayang u both! I really wished that i could throw awesome themed party and get cool pressies for you both, tapi nak buat macam mana..i can't afford it now..But i do hope someday i could throw both of you your 1st teen party. Sure cool gila!..Hahahaha!.Looking forward for more birthdays to come with them :). And yes i am saying it again..HOW TIME FLIES!

HAPPY 5th B'DAY RIZQ & HAPPY 4th B'DAY ARRA GIRL!
With lots of love,
Ninang Fira

Nauseous

Posted by Fira Tirona at 4:07 PM 1 comments
I AM FEELING SO NAUSEOUS RIGHT NOW
Ha!...Jangan fikir bukan-bukan k. I'm down with food poisoning.. :'(. Had to face the same problem last month.And yesterday kena balik...What is happening with the food here in KL?.. Don't they use clean and fresh ingredients to prepare food?..Unacceptable!

What happened to me last month was when i ate yesterdays' satay. Well, i really thought i was still ok as it was kept in the fridge and that it was heated up the next day. Still, with all the precaution taken to keep the food good...IT DOES NOT DO GOOD TO ME anyway...

So what happened to me yesterday was:

1) Went to the curve with the osom fosom to celebrate sha's graduation
2) Decided to eat at thai express
3) Was excited as faiz belanja.Yeay. So we ordered seafood tom yam. Yellow and green curry, mango salad and chicken.
4) When the food came, kami makan dengan gembiranya. Buat lawak sana sini.
5) Headed to BnR, for dessert.Again, buat lawak sana sini.
6) Got home at around 10pm. Went online till 11.30pm. Felt nauseous all of a sudden. Ignored it and went to bed
7) Couldn't sleep. cold sweat. Vomited like more than 4 times..Arghh...H A T E IT!

Lesson learned.I've got to becareful with what i eat now.
I'm still feeling nauseousness. Oh pls god..make it go away!

rasa macam setahun dah tak blog

Posted by Fira Tirona at 8:54 PM 1 comments
lamanya tak blog..but when i ever log in into my account to blog..then all of a sudden rasa macam dah tak nk blog ape..padahal there are lots in my head to shout about.but i guess sometimes i just like to keep it to myself jer kot...
ANYHOW.....
shoottts!.. june is almost here.well, i kinda excited about june but at the same time really worried bout my thesis.......Waaaaaaaaaaaa!...ok2 i don't want to spoil my mood to blog now. So yea June, can't wait for my perhentian trip with my girls...Now now, Fira...don't get too excited all about it..kang lain plak jadinya....uishhh..CHOi!...hahaha..
I was watching The Ophrah show 2 days back and the topic for that day was "things that women do to make themselves beautiful''.some like that la.. In Japan, women (with money) will consume Collagen (powdered form mixed with green tea) to obtain porcelain-like skin and to the extend of srubbing their face with owl's poop (yes people, burung hantu) ..of course powdered form lathered with pencuci muka to get kulit yang cantik tanpa cacat cela. In Brazil, women weigh between 110-125 pounds. uishh...patut la the women there are so cantek and sexy. In Mauritania on the contrary, men LOVE their women BIG!...(how fascinating, aku kalau ternaik badan sket jer,,,bf aku bising2..haih....typical..ahhaa). Women there also practice force feeding to girls who are growing (normal in rural areas and still practiced in the urban society). Kesian, they are FORCED to be fat. The bigger and fatter you are, the more seductive and desirable you will be...Jgn harap la kat Malaysia ni :p
Aku ingat nk ber-diet untuk menjadi kurus la....hik hik ;)..(hahah..tetiba)

Of excitement,fun and fear- Part 2

TRIP TO SEPANG GOLD COAST

The trip was memang berbaloi. Go to meet with a new friend, Jan. To Ahmad and Jan, if u girls,.ehh.ooops,guys are reading this, thanks so much for joining Yan and I yesterday. You darlings were real fun!. Next trip Umbai pls?. Oh tak nak la, lets dine at Paris (Jan, get the airline tix for us. Ok over la tu :p)

We were so proud of ourselves as we worked as a team! Macam amazing race ok. We arrived at the place without getting ourselves in into weird,scary dark roads which does not lead to the place we were heading to. Time tu tiba2 i rasa macam takut. *teringat cerita coming soon*..SHOOT!.

Ok, nak dipendekkan cerita. All were excited sebab selamat sampai ke destinasi. Got a place to seat. Ordered our food. Makan, borak (Aku rasa table kita paling kecoh as people kept looking at our table, mungkin sebab aku cantek..Wahaha...lempang kang!). Balik dengan muka happy. :)

It was all worth it!. Me like!

Of excitement,fun and fear- Part 1

Posted by Fira Tirona at 10:21 AM 0 comments
When your parents say this:


"Don't get too excited nanti you'll be dissappointed"


Confirm disappointed punya la...HAIHHHH


I was so excited to go to this particular warehouse sale at cineleisure. 3 famous brands: Zara,Pull and Bear and Massimo Dutti. All the excitement changed into disappointment. All because there were MILLIONS OF PEOPLE (haha..ok...tipu la tu).ok re-phrase that..RAMAI ORG beratur to get in the sale...Aku tau tahu la nak explain cam mana.. But just look at the pic below and imagine it yourself.Pic taken at 11.30am. (Sale starts at 11am).




The que.Note the people in the warehouse sale.RAMAI OK. Mood time tu: FRUST.Tq pls


I told my bf to just get out from there..Padahal tengah sakit hati. So we decided to have lunch. Headed all the the way to sec13 Shah Alam. Had a bowl of ipoh hor fun.Total bliss.Lupa terus pasal warehouse sale kejap. After that, we headed to the pj to have a peep of Adidas warehouse sale. Another round of disappointment. So i told the ever so patient bf to just leave and we headed to one-utama to get our movie tickets. Oh no, we did not watch "He's just not that into you" but we watched "Coming Soon", the Thai horror film.MMG horror. I refuse to put the coming soon poster pic here....SCARY LA!


Anyhow, to reduce the feeling of takut, my bf, ahmad (our friend that we picked up at the lrt station once getting the tickets) and i went to delicious cafe to have some sweet treat. I ordered, chocolicious sundae with strawberries, bf had that peach frangipane with ice cream and ahmad had tiramisu. oh, we ordered chicken patties too. Yum..all pun sedap..berbaloi-berbaloi.

Ok, time tgk movie seram tu. (tp cerita 'SHUTTER' sumpah lagi seram). I was already equipped with my pashmina.Yela, nak tutup mata dikala scene2 yang menakutkan. All of us were like: 'bodo, sial punya hantu, FCUk!, Babi'. Cursing and swearing tapi yang paling over is when Ahmad menjerit. Sgt macam gadis. Tergelak aku dibuatnya. Hiks, seronok.

Had dinner at Hartamas. NOthing to shout about. Food was so-so. Was really hungry.Bedal jer. Sent Ahmad home. Sleepy but takut nak tido sorang2. Sampai jer rumah. Knocked on my parents' room, mom opened the door. Dengan muka kesian i said.

"Ma, can i sleep in your room?"

How la to be an avid blogger like this..

Posted by Fira Tirona at 9:51 PM 1 comments
Ahahah.
Hye readers, dah lama i tak feed my blogsite with stories, silly ramblings and more. Well, today i have a bit of time to just update this blog of mine (typing while watching ugly betty on 8tv.my fav). Betty Suarez (ugly betty). Although she has bad sense of fashion but she's smart. Actually, her styles are sometimes unique. :)

Ok, what else?. Oh ya, got a new baby Dell, nokia E71, GRF from upm. No new car and no new bf...LOL. Still driving my 7 yr old CLK (not MERCEDES CLK.but my cute little kelise). I call her ROSE. In my earlier post, i mentioned about getting a DLSR but not now i guess. To tight up with my work and i don't think i have the time to go out and snap picture and and paling malas at this point if i get a DLSR is to learn how to use it..Maybe end of the year.

My research project is going ok. i guess. My Super-V want me to get more respondents. Like are u joking? Most corporate companies are tied up with closing of Quarter 1 (reports, annual appraisals....blah blah blah). Bibik Ina, if you are reading this u will understand what i mean..Ina!. mana nak cari respondents lagi ni?.*stress stress*

Speaking of stress, i think i need to de-stress myself. Going for movies do not..i repeat..DO NO de-stress me. It's just a short distraction from the current workload i have now. Half way through the movie my mind will go astray by thinking of my research paper...NOT HELPING!..i think i need to treat myself by going to the spa...pegi massage ker....Hmmm....sounds blissful...ahahah

I'll be 25 this year. Still working hard to earn my Masters degree. Most of my friends are married with good jobs with fat pay cheques and some dah ada babies. Best betul bunyinya. Sighh...Guess i'll just have to wait for my turn..Pray for me ya...AMIN

I miss my bibiks..
