Pink, Aura White, Cassia & Oysters
3:55:00 PM
Happy
Friday. My
favourite of all days. :) Today, I'm blogging about the happy Labour Day I spent yesterday.
This
week has been a lot to take for me, but I feel that God is re-directing my life
to a better future here in this world and InsyaAllah the next life. My life is
taking a big turn.
Relieved.
Free. Re-directed. Realization. Reflection.
Five
words which describes me this week.
Anyways,
2 days ago Natasha Hudson and I spoke and discussed on similar situations which
we have been through separately. We had a long, nice and comforting chat over
the phone. Well, at least on my part haha. She’s such a sweet and kind soul of
a friend.
At
the end of it, she invited me to attend an event at Aloft Hotel wherein she was
to be made the ambassador of a skincare and health company, Aura White. I asked
her if there were any theme and she said that there was no theme but I can wear
pink and white. I decided to oblige, so that explains my outfit on Labour Day
yesterday. Hehe.
I
wore a lace jacket (also worn in White Swan on the Streets of Starhill), new arm candies given by my husband
from our Sofina 2.1 in JB trip, my mother’s tapered pants, my husband’s long sleeved
shirt, shoes from FV and a vintage white and gold bag found in my mother’s
closet. To top off the white and gold look I wore a pink PariPari Shawl by Hasanah
Hilmi. Oh, and I got a vintage pearl belt at the end of the day! New found loves :)
Before
the event I just had a chilled and laid-back morning with the husband at home, cooking
him fried eggs for breakfast! Hehe. Just outside the hotel, the husband took some cool shots of me and my outfit. Only the husband can direct me during ootd shots and make me feel so happy and comfortable! :) I was feeling happy and the Happy Song by Pharell Williams was playing on my head. Somehow, the pink shawl and the pink lipstick I wore boosted my confidence too in some ways. Haha.
Right
after the event at Aloft Hotel, the husband needed to go to the office so while
he was at the office I went down to take my driving license photo and bumped
into a few friends including the adorable baby Cassia Iman! (See my posts
Introducing Cassia Iman and Shasha Elisa Baby Shower). I was so excited and
happy to bump into and see Cassia yesterday. She loves the camera! As soon as I
opened my camera she was already posing for the camera. I just had to take
photos with her because she is just too adorable! It was good to see her mother
Shasha Elisa and also aunt Marissa Hanafi too. While I was looking for the
photo shop I bumped into Ellie Norman too, the owner of My Apparel Zoo and she
shared with me a few sound advice on the fashion business.
When
the husband finished with his work (gosh, I remember those days I used to work
like crazy on all public holidays and all weekends too!), he decided to treat
me for dinner. We both had a very long week and we thought we deserve a treat!
I
ate fresh oysters with lemon and tobasco, he had his fav jacket potato and
lamb, yoghurt and mint pizza! Happiness to the maximum!!! I remember the first time I tried oysters at
Santa Monica Los Angeles with my cousins
and I nearly vomited it out! But after that I fell in love with it. The last
time I ate so much oysters were during a buffet Ramadhan break fast with my
ex-colleagues last year. I can’t remember how many plates I took together with
salmon sashimi. I go crazy over raw seafood!
We had a lovely dinner just before
we rushed off to a movie with the rest of the family, the Amazing Spiderman - Rise
of Electro. It was an awesome movie I thought. I could relate to it on so many
levels especially on the betrayal of someone we trust and also losing the people
we love, and how we deal with it.
All
in all I had a great time yesterday. A fulfilling satisfactory happy happy day. I couldn’t
imagine a better way to spend my Labour Day together with the husband.
Blessed.
Alhamdulillah.
