The Dress Code

Image
Assalamu'alaikum. Life is full with codes that you might hate but can't live without anyways, one of which is called (working) Dress Code. I don't hate my working dress code, don't get me wrong. It's just that monochrome can be so boring for those who prefer colorful outfits like I do. There are some points of time that I would choose either a white or black blouse to be paired with a black skirt. Sometimes I would rather wear a black and white baju kurung or plain black abaya/dress. So when I can put some colors on, I really do it with a blunt vengeance, if you know what I mean. There's even a friend of mine who has got tired of wearing blouses and skirts that she has opted for one-piece black dress, be it plain or with prints. Can't blame her, for I truly know what she's suffered from in the first place. So together we splash some bright colors when it comes to handbags, purses or even handbag organizers. And she has gone ...

Home Organizing Marathon

Image
Assalamu'alaikum.  Dear friends, how's your weekend so far? I hope you guys are in the pink of health,  Insya Allah.  Today I'm gonna share with you my organizing project that has yet to be fully accomplished. It's like a non-stop and never ending marathon, really. It's all my own doings, so I can't complain to myself, now can I?  1- On The Top of The Closet I mean, it's a good thing we have any available space to utilize, so why must we ignore our closet top then? I decided to store my clutches that I seldom use anyways inside a cute multi-purpose stool and some travel kits that my other half would always wanna grab for outstations inside another box next to it. Those two identical boxes are used to keep my monthly best friends for menstruation and the fact that they are transparent would gimme instant alarm when to refill should they show any shortage of supplies. While the clearer and bigger box at their back is used to keep my additional facial cott...

Ne Me Quitte Pas, Nina Simone, Starbucks and I

Image
Assalamu'alaikum. I was early for hot latte at Starbucks today, even the workers there smiled at me knowingly. When asked, I simply said that I was expecting someone for a meeting. I actually fell asleep for a few seconds I guess, when my phone rang ever so loudly. Thank God I hadn't forgotten not to leave it silent, or else I would have just dozed off like there's no tomorrow.  Then after that person left, I still took my sweet time over the remainder of my lovely latte, which was cold already. When I was about to leave, there was one killer song on the surround sound system that kept me afloat. It was Ne Me Quitte Pas (Don't Leave Me) by Nina Simone. And I was well, carried away. Yeah, who loves to be left by loved ones, huh? Will always be around for you, though. Take care now.. Bye. Assalamu'alaikum. - Nai at Tak Pe Je.

Natural Mosquito Repellent

Image
Assalamu'alaikum. Last week I came across a post in the FB about using a half sliced lime with cloves on top to fight mosquitos at home but I didn't really get myself to dwell on it that much, though the thought was rather intriguing. But when my other half popped that out last night, I was all for it. I mean, why not? But since we didn't have limes left at home,  I used lemon instead and call me lunatic, it worked instantly and I am not even exaggerating! For a house so madly full with mosquitos despite whatsoever repellents used all this while, the very fact that any method as simple as lemon-cloves thingy did actually work ( instantly! ) was quite a mouth gaping, really. I have yet to experiment as to how long a slice would give the same impact, so bear with me please. Meantime, how about giving it a shot some time soonest? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, right? ^_^ That's it for now. Take care and enjoy your weekend ahead! Assalamu'alai...

Lady In The Mirror, An Optical Illusion

Image
Assalamu'alaikum. It was quite havoc today In the afternoon that I only noticed the sheerness of my new black abaya at the petrol pump when I dismounted the car to refill gas. So the first thing I did afterwards was to drive to the nearest department store and get myself a pair of new tights before heading to the musolla and later on lunch, followed by an appointment with a client. And the fitting rooms were as vacant as a desert that I couldn't help taking my own pictures overlooking the mirrors. Yeah, I immediately wore the tights underneath the abaya upon ka-ching, as you could figure. Then only I felt safe and sound to walk about.  Gliding. Floating. Flying. Call it what you want. It's quite a remarkable optical illusion, I reckon. The maxi shawl that I got from the Hong Kong's Lady Market looked very chic together with the electric pink ninja from Sugarscarf and the black abaya from Jordan. I was pleased with the ensemble, to say the very least. ...
