Assalamu'alaikum. Yeah, I know I've been missing nowadays. Things have been a little bit out of tempo, really. That's what you have to pay for being too busy - you can't even exercise at all, at all. Have vowed myself to do just that after posting this quickie, so help me God! You know, I have this habit of buying contact lenses every Eidul Fitri and never seem to actually wear them - last Eid was not an exception. So yesterday I decided to make full use of them instead of letting them expired over time as the previous years. Felt a bit weird of course, especially the first 30 minutes or so. Then I got used to wearing them that I even wore them the whole day today at work. It would be nicer if I could get rid of eyebag, but yeah, that will have to take some other procedure altogether. Should go and pay my beautician an expensive visit or two some day! With the 1st aviator without any power.. ^_^ Without glasses on, it would...

Assalamu'alaikum. It was a day with loads of pressures and I almost lost it, really. I even screamed on the phone in front of my best buddy, Adah when we met for our hot latte during lunchtime. I felt so mad that I didn't feel like eating any single thing. So mad that I had to wander about to cool my boiling heart down and only headed back to the office when I was sure I wouldn't strangle anybody, especially the one who had caused the turmoil in the first place. I made a point to go to the musolla and prayed Zuhur, avoiding any eye contact with that particular person. And thank God I was doing much better afterwards, so much so that by the time I called her into my room I could talk civil already. I would have had to do some lousy damage control otherwise.  Anyways, things fell into places rightfully so afterwards, much to everyone's relief. At least we shared one thing in common : to get the job(s) done. And I got to call it a day at 6pm approximately with smiles ...

Assalamu'alaikum. It doesn't take a genius to spot an Asian tourist in Europe especially in winter, if you know what I mean. Here are some pictures to illustrate the point, when I went a little bit too heavy in winter clothes. Well, so long as I wouldn't catch cold too early, I didn't care a bit. ^_^  It was in fact one of the coldest and the most windy day in London at the beginning of winter. Afterwards I didn't have to appear too much a tourist anymore, much to my delight. Not too much, but still obvious for I was in fact a tourist. So, no problem.. Thanks for dropping by. Happy Weekend!  - Nai at Tak Pe  Je.

Assalamu'alaikum. It's New Year of 2014 already, dearest! After the public holiday yesterday, today was such a hectic day entirely. Anyhow, I just wanna blog about my OOTD here at this very juncture for the sake of personal insanity. This photo was taken on 30th of December last year. Wow! So long eh? I attended a private birthday party after office hour at Doubletree Hilton, KL and chose to dress rather formal. Kinda a bit too formal for the occasion but never mind, those were the clothes that had already been pressed in the closet. The mix and match turned out to be quite nice, at least to me. So much so that I feel like repeating such style.  Hope you liked what you saw. Gotta run now, though. You do take care and Allah Be With you.. Bye and assalamu'alaikum. - Nai at Tak Pe Je.

Assalamu'alaikum. HERE I used to blog about my cotton baju kurung-to be. My tailor took two months to finish off the order, reason being her mom had been sick and that she had to put me in line. Knowing her and the amount of orders she's been catering I didn't make a scene. Not that I was in a rush anyways. And I wore the pink cutie last Monday with a matching plain shawl. Other than these three selfies, I didn't have any other picture taken, unfortunately. Anyhow, the cotton proves to be of very good quality. Despite a bit much thicker than its  siblings, you won't feel hot wearing it. The only shortcoming to me is that the sleeves will  sort of roll up by themselves, showing your arms very easily that you will have to definitely wear arm socks underneath. That will be a bit challenging unless you're forever in aircond areas or cooler climate countries. Other than that, it's simply superb. Especially the fact that it doesn't seem to wrin...

Assalamu'alaikum. So I lost my purse, but life must go on. Keep smiling. Keep shining. Even if we missed our train to Florence the following day! Yeah, we were like less than 5 minutes late but still late nonetheless. What we did was get the next train to Pisa instead for we had already bought online return tickets from Rome-Florence-Pisa-Rome months before our Europe tour. Since we had about two hours before departure, we went to Trevi Fountain after snapping pictures at the nearest fountain (Naiad Fountain) from Roma Termini.  Naiad Fountain, Cute Vespa and I. Trevi Fountain, taken from wikipedia. Taken from our camera. But of course..!  They said we should throw coins into the water so that we would come back to Rome someday. Not that I believed any of it but heck, I didn't want that to happen so I didn't throw a dime! (The scar of losing my purse, remember?)  Then we waited for our train to...

Assalamu'alaikum. It was the 1st day in Rome in our 3rd day of Europe tour. It had been raining from morning when we left the apartment and boarded the Hop On Hop Off bus. I didn't particularly like Rome per se but never knew I was about to have scarred memories there. I'm not gonna throw the hundreds of pictures taken but here are a few worth sharing. Lessons learned, never ever bring any handbag without zippers while roaming in Rome (or Europe, for that matter). I didn't even know when my purse was taken and only realized it at the Hard Rock Cafe, at the cashier counter, to be exact when I wanted to pay for the merchandise that I picked. That had left me speechless. Spellbounded. Apalled. Confused. Lost. All at once. Couldn't be here. This time I could still see my black travel purse inside the bag. Or here at the Vatican City.  Oblivious to the world around me, I was content and focusing on the tourist guide narrating the ...
