there's gotta be more to life...

Quoted from Steve Jobs

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

and

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Couldn't agree more...

The new pastel love

I've never knew how much I love pastels until I saw this Australian clothing brand, Forever New...Their collection are literally to die for...check this out...these are my personal favourites (Ok I lie, I love everything in their store and clearly I can't put up all their stuff here)

Not only their clothing but I'm also drooling over their gadget's accessories...so chic...




But the bad news is they don't have any store in Malaysia and the closest is in Singapore...*bummer* and their online shop only ship within Australia...*double sad*


why oh why? Look at these shoes and clutches, so preeeety....



Tunggula, jumpe store die nak borong sumer bende...tak kire!



Frustated... (if you can't tell)

Nearly a year..

I have abandoned this blog for nearly a year for none other than the lamest but truthful reason I was so busy...But I miss blogging, just blogging the nonsense things I always do...
A lot have change since I last blogged (like duhh, its been a year for god sake).

• I'm now officially Mrs Amrin and loving most bit of it...Haha...The key is to pick your battle - find the most annoying habit of his that just bug you to the very core and start nagging while letting the rest go...AND it works but to hubby's defense I'm very extremely picky. (C'mon I colour coordinate hanging and folded clothes, sock and undergarment and I get twitches when its not at the right place). Saiko I know. I'll blog more on the life after marriage soon-nish.
• The wedding and pre wedding stuff - its been 5 months and I still haven't pick up the official wedding photo yet...I will definitely need to do an? entry on that since I DIY a lot of things in my wedding and it will be wasteful not to share it.
• I've finally graduated - yes after so many years slaving to the books. I had a great graduation with family and friends despite the so many hiccups and a near breakdown...Emo giler ok..Oh I still didn't had the chance to contact my official grad family photo yet...giler busy.
  
• The ever so awesome 2-weeks graduation road trip around South Island with the family members of 9 people and the so tiring 6-8 months of planning...Urggh bleh muntah ingat the planning bits...but hey who am I kidding I love planning and definitely can't wait to plan the next big trip...InsyaAllah June/July 2012...

Although so many things have changed this year, somehow everything is not making more sense than I thought it will be...it has become more blurry and more uncertain...student life seems so easy now...



Naah scratch that :)...my personal life during uni was hard but now, its not harder but different...okay I'm rambling and not making sense...you've got to be in my head to understand...



Anyway just leaving you to ponder this...

Is it really greener on the other side and is it really better to be someone else (eyeing the ladies with the Chanelss)?

Watching Toy story with my 4 year old bro...
Akmal: "Kakak jadi Jessie, Amal jadi Buzz Lightyear"
Moi: "Okay!" (I'm the heroin in the story, Woot woot!)

Next watching Madagscar STILL with my 4 year old bro...

Akmal: "Kakak jadi Gloria, Amal jadi Alex"
Moi: "Huh, kakak jadi Gloria sebab die girl kan? kan? kan? bukan sebab die gemuk or badak kan? kan? kan?

Great now I'm a big fat hippo...

New address

I've moved to a new blog url just because I'm mengade like that...:)

Happy Birthday!

It has always be the tradition of ours to have pre-birthday celebration (yes mengade, I know) and same goes for this year...fiance planned exceptionally well this year...proud of him... but nevertheless nothing can beat the first birthday I celebrated with him...ah fond memories...

Anyway we had a really late lunch on the 1st just because we both woke up late...the night before I was busy trying to finish reading The Carrie Dairies while he on the other hand was doing God know what...so we had lunch at about 4pm and went to Simply Paris...




I had their special grilled salmon served with risotto and it was simply divine...fiance on the other hand had omellete with spinach and salmon from their breakfast menu...




Since I requested not to have birthday cake just because i don't like it...fiance substitute for this instead...its 100% chocolate and it was really good...the look doesn't do it justice...


That night we was still fulled but fiance insist that we need to have dinner...so we went to Cinta for my regular dose of Pad Thai...



That night we we both so tired...nak tunggu midnight pun x larat...but fiance insisted that he be the first to wish and yes he made it...


The birthday itself, I requested Japanese food...so for lunch we went to this sushi bar, wasabi...they had a wide range of sushi and their green tea ice cream and chocolate pudding are worth to come back for...



We had our dinner at Arashi, a Japanese restaurant in town...we both had salmon, I had ginger salmon while he had teriyaki salmon...






Finally to finish off, I couldn't resist my hot waffle with yogurt and hot chocolate topping...



Kesimpullanya, saya sangat suke harijadi kali ini tetapi esok perlulah berlari dua kali ganda lebih laju dan lebih jauh lebih dari selalu!

The only wedding progress I made so far...






Should I panic now?

Bowl and old...

Sunday night we decided to go and bowl...we haven't been bowling in ages...the last time was way back in Dunny, maybe about 4 years ago and as far as I can remember I've never beat him...annoying...

We played 2 games and the first i was definitely leading...wah first time bleh kalahkan die ni and boy was I wrong, he got "turkey" or triple strike ...and there goes my lead..

We really had fun, dancing around (well more of jumping around), giggling over gutter ball, singing/screaming a long the songs' lyrics we don't even know and was completely making a fool of ourselves...

I can't even remember the last time we had this much fun without worrying about anything and keep wondering what have med school done to us...yes the price u pay

Anyway because of all the fun we had, we decided to bowl on Monday as it was 'all you can bowl day' and planned to wake up early to stay there all day...BUT...






we both woke up to a sore left butt cheek, yes just the left one...and we were both limping and clenching our left cheek at the same time, it was definitely not a pretty sight but it was funny as hell...

and at that moment it hit us...















































we are OLD! (well it hit me, he on the other hand is still in denial)
