Dear John, the BTN is postponed....(^_^)v...

Hai everyone...well, as mentioned above, the Biro Tatanegara course has been postponed to 25th June until 29th June...so, I will be home this weekend..huhu...I've cancelled a lot of plans because at first I have to attend this course from Thursday (tomorrow) until next monday...but it has been postponed...btw, it has nothing to do with John..hehe...

So, I decided to fill up my time with reading...I haven't read novels for a long time since I started my masters study...Now it's the time to read...hehe...I chose to read a story entitled 'Dear John' by Nicholas Sparks...It's a love story...This story is one of the 4 stories compiled in Reader's Digest Select Editions which I purchased a few months ago...I asked mom to read them first and recommends which stories are worth reading...hehe...since mom was quite free last month, so she finished all the 4 stories in just a short time...ngehngeh...Thanks mom...:-)...

Ok...these words caught my interest to read this story first compared to the other 3 stories...

"When a man's a soldier, which comes first - his duty to the armed forces, or being with the woman he loves? John thought he knew. But then came September 11."

Hehe...so I wanna finish all the ten chapters in this story...Reading English books is a way to improve my English...To Firah and Jehan, kalau ada buku2 cerita best, plz recommend them to me okay..:-)...

Till then...Daa...

2 Hari di KLCC

Salam peeps..last week I spent 2 days at KLCC..Wednesday and Thursday because of SMIDEC 2009..my fruit peeler di pamerkan kat situ under booth MOHE (Ministry of Higher Education)...but penyelidik adalah dialu2kn dtg sebab yg akan jaga products are staffs from RMC...so kami dtgla sekejap2 je...

Jalan-jalan and Shopping

Salam all...after berpenatan sepanjang last weekend, travelling from KL to Ipoh to my sis-in-law house and back to Ipoh and KL, badanku ini terasa amatla penat...plus sempat jugak buat presentation slides for the 'V' Day...and also baca thesis drafts of final year students...hehe...

Mase on the way to my sis-in-law house, my father-in-law tanye, 'Aliaa tak pening ke membaca dalam kereta?'...hehe...sebenarnye dah terbiasa...I still ingat kata2 my lecturer, Assoc. Prof. Dr.Hussain Salleh...dia kata supervisor dia masa kat US dulu ckp, kene biase kan diri membaca walau kat mane kite berada termasukla dlm kereta...wlpn pening, but u must get used to it...hehe...so kawan2, rajin2 la membaca k...supaya otak kita sentiasa diasah and masa kite tak terbazir macam tu saje...(^_^)v...

Smlm dari Ipoh, sempat singgah kejap kat Jakel Simpang Pulai beli kain...pastu terus gerak balik KL...lepas tu anta my mom-in-law kat Plaza Hotel KL sbb dia ada kursus...lepas check-in, bawa dia ke Sogo beli makanan...So hubby and me canceled our plan nak shopping barang2 dapur kat Jusco...instead, kami beli kat Sogo jer...hehe...lepas anta mak mertua balik ke hotel, kami terus balik rumah kat UPM...bagi ikan makan jap (sbb risau kot2 diorang mati ke ape kan) and amik parcels kat luar rumah (they're mine of course...:p...)...lepas tu terus ke suatu tempat yg baru buka di Bangi before heading to my mom house in Cheras...heheheh...dah lame diriku menanti pembukaan kedai ini.....Tadaaa...

Ini dia Ariani Gallery yg baru saje dibuka kat Bangi...lepas ni senangla org2 kawasan sini nak pegi...tak payah pegi KL punye...last week I went to Ariani Mutiara Damansara...alang2 pegi IKEA, pegi terus la ke Ariani cawangan sane...gune GPS lagi...haha...nasibla hubby ku ini sporting sgt...(^_^)...dekat sane dah tapau beberapa helai...so kat Ariani Bangi ni saye beli 2 -tone chiffon plain shawl and inner tudung...hehe...dpt diskaun 12% sebab dah jadi member mase kat Damansara...Ini dia set inner and shawl yg saye beli...sebijik mcm ni sebab saye nak yg sebijik mcm patung ni pakai...sbb stok utk both inner and shawl ni dah abis...hehe...so staf dia kena la buka tudung kat patung ni...kuikuikui...

Selepas bersungguh2 'menuntut ilmu' dgn staf2 nye cara2 nak pakai shawl, baru la melangkah keluar kedai...hari tu dah blaja kat Damansara tapi saje je seronok2 nak suruh diorg ajar...hehe...ok...kali ni hasil tuaian sikit je...sbb dah byk dah koleksi...saje nak try Ariani punye...:-)...

Last 2 weeks beli tudung full lycra A****i...but I'm very dissapointed with the quality of the jahitan dkt awning tudung...tak kemas...and the material used is fair in quality...I've tried other brands before..Sri Munawwarah, DeZahra and Nur Barakah...I can recommend that DeZahra quality is better than A****i...DeZahra full lycra tudung is much2 better...the quality of the material is really good...and you'll look really nice when u wear it...I've recommended it to my friends also...sesiapa yg belum penah try tudung DeZahra, u can try...then u can compare the quality with A****i...FYI, I will send my A****i full lycra for repair...haha...nasibla ada sorang Sis ni baik hati nak repairkan...Thanks Kak...:-)...smlm tgk full lycra kat A****i Bangi pun same jugak jahitannye...so mmg diriku ini tidak tersalah beli la hari tu...

Latest personal research saye ialah terhadap brand2 tudung yg terdapat kat Malaysia ni...hehehe...lepas ni bole buat review pasal semua2 tudung2 ni...DeZahra, Sri Munawwarah, Hajaba, Ariani and Nur Barakah...cewah mcm nak tulis review paper anta kat journal pulak..hehe...and not to forget other D.I.Y tudung yg kualiti nye mmg setanding and lagi baik dari yg butik punye...so my friends, we need to spend our money in the smartest way...beli yg kualiti tinggi dengan harga berpatutan...:-)...tudung butik ni mmg mahal...tapi pandai2 la k...beli yg termampu ok la...just to try and have personal experience on it...:-)...

Ok...that's all...wanna continue working on my presentation slides...Daa...

p/s: nanti Ariani nak buka cawangan Shah Alam...Congrats to Sharifah (my friend) sebab dapat jadi model sementara Ariani for TV promotion...I'm happy for you babe...:-)...

Tudung Lover...(^_^)v...

Salam all...i just want to share my story about the fashion of hijab nowadays...there are so many tudung's boutiques widely opened in Malaysia...Sri Munawwarah, Ariani and Hajaba are the examples of the brands available today...I also bought a few hijabs from Sri Munawwarah and Hajaba...the quality is undeniable although the price is quite high...but still affordable...

I realize that there are so many hijabs being sold at pasar malam at a cheaper price...I've also tried to buy one at Nilai 3 at only rm15...the colour is nice but the quality is really poor...maybe some people might say "Buat apa beli mahal2...buang duit je...baik beli yg murah kat pasar mlm."...hmm...but in my opinion, if u have extra money, why don't u buy something that is high in quality and will stay in good condition after being used for so many times...unlike the cheap tudung, after u washed them for a few times, the material started to crinkle, the threads started to loose and the awning (bahagian keras dpn tudung) started to 'senget benget'...hahaha...I am not going to buy those cheap tudung anymore for I felt that I'm wasting my money and if i gave them to other people, they will also face the difficulty of wearing and maintaining them...

The beauty of the Hajaba's tudung is it has a button at the back of the tudung that will make the wearer looks neat in the hijab...:-)...i love the quality of the fabric...u dont have to iron it for it will not crinkle even after u have wore it for so many times...Hajaba's hijabs come in two sizes which are mini and midi...U won't regret buying hijabs of this brand...Hajaba's boutiques are available in Bangi, Shah Alam, Wangsa Maju, and a few places...u can find the Hajaba's website by clicking the link at the left side of this page...Mawi's Ekin pun pakai tudung Hajaba selain Ariani..

Puan Aleya...wearing Hajaba's mini hijab...:-)...

Another brand of popular hijab is Sri Munawwarah...this brand has been established earlier than Hajaba and Ariani...the quality is great...the material used is high in quality...it has so many types of hijab...tudung pendek, tudung labuh, tudung labuh belah...ade manik, ade yg plain...awning thai silk, awning shantung...mcm2...semuanye cantikk tau...the boutique is situated at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail...there are 4 Sri Munawwarah shops at that area...rambang mata la membeli2...hehe...this tudung is so nice...the material will flow down beautifully when u wear the tudung...(^_^)v...

Puan Aleya...wearing Sri Munawwarah's hijab...

Apart of this branded hijabs, there are also hijabs that are called Tudung D.I.Y...hehe...this kind of hijabs are of the same quality as Ariani and Sri Munawwarah...It is called D.I.Y. because it's being made by individual who sew the tudung by themselves....they bought the materials for the hijab at a few textile shops...kelas utk membuat tudung D.I.Y ni banyak juga diadakan...menarik...I feel like joining this class...but i still dont have much time at this moment...hehe...the price is slightly cheaper than those branded hijabs...maybe because the sellers dont need to pay for the shops rent...hehe...but the quality is high since the material used are the same as the branded one...actually it depends on the seller...if they know the meaning of beauty, they will know what to do..they dont buy any low grade materials...:p...

Puan Aleya...wearing D.I.Y tudung bought from her sweet friend, Ninie...:-)...

Recently, I have found a new brand of hijab known as deZahra...the shop is located at Mutiara Damansara...it's still new but many celebrities have worn this tudung...Ayu Raudhah wore deZahra hijab in 'Sampai Menutup Mata' drama...Nabila Huda wore deZahra hijab during her solemnization...really beautiful...salah seorang pembaca berita TV3 pun pakai tudung deZahra...the material is nice...masa pegi butik hari tu, ramai betul org beli tudung ni...deZahra also have their dealers...so beli dari dealer lg senang...takyah gi jauh2...tapi tudung ni mahal...I've ordered one from the Kajang's dealer to try...but I've noticed that one of the tudung at deZahra is the same as one of my D.I.Y hijab...sebijik!!!...hehe...so mmg sah la org kat butik beli kain yg same dgn D.I.Y hijab's seller...kihkih...but the boutique sells at higher price...they claim that the quality of the jahitan is good...takpe,nanti saye try bile dpt...hehe...

Another popular brand that I haven't tried yet is Ariani...hehehe...punye la popular tudung ni tp tak penah smpai kat butik dia kat jalan bunus tu...nanti la when i have time...tudung ni juga terkenal sebab menggunakan Ekin sebagai model...

The prices of Hajaba, Sri Munawwarah, Ariani, deZahra and D.I.Y. ranging from Rm55 to RM100++...tapi deZahra ade yg melebihi rm200...hehehe...mahal benor mcm tu...yg RM55 smpai RM95 pun dah cantik dah...:-)...

Ok...that's all the story of hijab's fashion...jehan asked me just now where the Hajaba's Shah Alam boutique is located...so I told her the location...Jehan plz inform me kalau dah beli k..and sila pakai masa kite jumpe nanti tau...:-)...

Khamis ni nak pegi Melaka...next week ikut hubby pegi Tioman Island pulak...sronoknyeeee...:-)..Till then...bye2....
