I LOVE my hair.

Despite it being very super fine & thin. Yes, I admit, it is too flat that I find my hair too boring

at times, to be honest, at all times!. No volume. *Bleargh* And when styling, it will be

either too straight or too soft that no amount of hair mousse, spray or gel are able to uphold

the “beehives* or even curls! It frustrates me. Because for one, I am no expert when it

comes to hair. It takes me A.G.E.S to get my hair styled by err, urs truly! My arm aches just

to get my hair done up. My makeup “melted” in e process. Unlike makeup, I can get my face

painted in merely 15 to half an hour but one miserable hour for hair alone. Can you feel my

misery? *Wails out loud*

BUT, I STILL loovvveeee my hair so very much despite all of the raves. It is super soft and

silky. It is straight that it looked almost rebonded. I am a contented owner of me hair. J

I have had...bangs...

short hair...

Has had been a curly wurly. (My worst bad hair days, EVA!) Requested hairstyle

went terribly wrong. And supposed to be colour chosen hair dyed turned out to be a

distratrous colour just because e hairstylist insisted that no bleaching is required. So

confident that the colour will break through my stubborn black hair. =___= It couldnt get any

"worser" than that!

The "nyonya" curls became unmanageable, I resorted to comb my hair as often that I

can bacause I was told that the curls will then slowly fade away. It was right to a c

ertain extend. It turned wavy. With my red turned orangey hair, my mane resembled

the broom. Sick and tired of it, I chopped it off. And here's the outcome...

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><>

Still curvy and wavy at the bottom area.. Learnt my lesson. Envisioned myself with Victoria Secret models' long luscious sexy wavy hair...(hence e permings) Oh dream on, Raff!

After a few episodes of bad hair style experience, I kinda stay away with the bold

approach, instead stay with being safe. But safe means boring. It's either new haircut or

should I say trimmings plus safer tone hair colour because the husband will always asked

me this the moment I stepped out from the hair salon, "Dah?? That's it? Ur done? Samer

aje..." *.*

So, I have decided to go a little "wilder" with this hair of mine.

From this... The safe Kakak2 look...

To this...

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><>

Bob haircut...
Ok, I played cheat. This was actually a wig. Can U tell? I hope not. I can never get this kinda volumized hair.

I have always wanted an ashy hair colour base. To be more precise ash green. But due

to my past experience,I dare not. To my delight, Yus's hairstylist, donned the very

exact same colour I have been yearning for. So, I entrusted Kit to transform my boring

hair colour.

The journey of my tranzformasione...

First, we...

Till desired length...

Secondly, bleaching is a must if U wants that very same exact colour.

Bleached it for about half an hour.
Followed by applying the hair colour.

All of these might cause a little discomfort or irritation such as itchiness. If it persist

longer, do let your stylist know about it. One may be allergic to the product used.

Last but not least, hair treatment. A MUST especially if U have problematic hair.

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><>
P/S: If U notice, there's foods in one of the collage. I prepared myself some junks. Because I have been forwarned by Kit it will take her at least half a day!..

Me during the process. I don't know whats with girls and camwhoring. =D

I love the way Kit handles my hair. She's really gentle & organized. Thanks to her, I

"think" i look good in all of the random photos. ;D
Ready for the end product?

TADAH! This izz the final outcome...

I can finally declare that I am in love with my new hair colour. Even strangers
complimented how awesome my hair looked on *that particular day. Loved the

attention. Because for one reason. I knew that they are in love with my hair too. ;))

*that particular day because I hate it that I cannot blow dry my hair the same way that hairdresser does. Jealous of their magic fingers! can

We have come to the end of the post. With that being said, I would like to wish my

family members, relatives, friends, and not forgetting my followers on Twitter as well
as readers Salam Aidilfitri. Would like to extend my apology from the bottom of my

heart, should at any point of time I have offended any one of U with my words,

intentionally or not. Hope no
hard feelings, yeah? *Mwaah*

My first day of raya has went well, even though I have to admit that I was tired and

sleepy troughout the entire day. But that does not even dampen my raya spirit. I was

enthusiatic about it because I was looking forward to dress up. Me & my Mister Y was

clad in GREEN. And my makeup as well as hair theme was Eygyptian. (Psst.. I learn

it via U-Tube, knw!) I cannot wait to share our shiok sendiri photos with U all lah.

Hee~!

Till then,
Salam Sayang & BIG LOVE,
xxxRxxx

Mr Y: Honey, wanna go Darwin?

Me: (nonchalantly) How about Alice Spring?

Mr Y: HUH?!?

Me: Don't you know that Alice Spring is in Australia too?

Mr Y: (Laughing Out Loud) U've got me there! U eh! I macam nak cekik2 U pun ada! (I feel like strangling U!) Now, I am not talking about Australia my dear girl, even though of course, I would very much love to bring you there someday. I am referring to Darwin Interior lah sayaaannngg.

Me: I know. *Making a blue-ck face* Hahahaa!
[Note to my Mr. Y : Speaking of which, we have yet to decide on our HoneyMoon destination! ==> *Glares* That person hor, volunteered to go tru all e troubles bcuz he wants me to rest, but till today, no updates at all! How am I gonna rest in peace!? Havta pester him aldy!] Latest update : The WIFE took over the task & flights booked!

So, this topic I am sharing isn't gonna be about Aussie as U can see by now.

This entry will be about our nearly ready Punggol Spring-Edgefield Plain. A place to call our own. A Build-To-Order applied in the year 2008. The last we heard from HDB was in March pertaining the approval of our HLE application and till date, no more news. I reckon we will get our keys soon because apart from the several passing bys (yeah, just like e rest of U, eager owners :p) I have been following PS 615B's forum closely. A handful of our neighbors have received their keys. So it is just a matter of time, days!!! ==> received already liao on 5th July 2011. Another long overdue post which should have been posted 3 months back.

Yes, I am and has always been anticipating for this moment ever since I became Mrs Yusri. However, truth be told, deep down, I am, urrmmm, quite upset about this whole new journey that I am about to embark. A new phase of life where I will be on my own without my parents. Sorry, let me rephrase, my parents will be around only to guide, but not there staying with me physically. I have not been away from them, apart from the occassional holiday vacations I took. Life's gonna be different. No Mak's home cooked food everyday. No Mak to help me finish my plate of unfinished rice. No Mak to help me with some of my half way done chores. No Bapak, our handyman. Made me realised that I took my parents for granted just because I thought they are gonna be there for me no matter what. What quite saddened me is the fact that I have not provided them the comfort in life, enough. *emotionally distressed*

Dearest Mak & Bapak,
Insya allah soon, ok? Nur promise. I want to be able to drive you both around, go on a holiday together all expenses paid by solely me (I want to pay for your trip to e Holy Land) & Dad not having to work anymore. Just help me take care of my future babies, can? Im sure once our Baby Elephant has completed her studies (To Baby Elephant : Make sure U go to e Uni! To Ghost : U shd apply urself into e Uni, U knw!), U both won't have to think so much already because by then all of your daughters have grown up independently. :')

Sometimes it's hard to even believe that I am married. Life's still almost e same only for a fact that I am staying together w Yus @ my parents' with that additional chores which Mak still helps me with occasionally (I can never thank u enough, Mother!). Apart from all that, and oh ya additional family members =) , nothing changed.

Time flies.

We should be expecting our house keys. (Again, pardon me. This was supposed to be posted in May!) Prior to that, after much careful consideration & deliberation, we have selected our ID out of the many we've enquired from. And the chosen & lucky (;p) Interior Designer who have managed to won over our heart is...

Aric from Darwin Interior.

He was chosen among the rest simply because of his not only great service but his ability to see the rationale behind most of our impossible requests.

Aric will put two & two together to make our request a reality. Above that all he isnt a "yes man".

He'll stop to intervine as well as throw in his ideas. In all, I have to say, the progress of our home is a great collaboration between us and Aric.

Most importantly, we are able to click with Aric right away, could be prolly due to our not-so-far age gap. He's more like a friend instead of stranger. We can talk about anything under the sun. Aric & Yus especially, will openly joke and will rudely ask each other to stop bullshitting. A pair of joker, is what I need to destress my already overloaded brain. It reminded me of my marriage preparation. One thing for sure, I learnt not to overthink over minor issues. I am more relaxed now compared to 36 months ago. (Where did all e time fled to?)

Price wise, it's not the lowest among the quotations we received. We always bear in mind, cheapest does not equate to good quality/workmanaship and what worry us most is the end result. This is unlike, urrm okay example, hair makeover where you can afford to go through the trial & error. People spend over twenty grand to get at least 80% of what is expected. 100% is definitely impossible because you have to give leeway for human errors. We opt out the idea of contractors because after considering every aspect, we do not wish to go through all the trouble coordinating contractors schedule. Even tho we can save a few hundred to nearly a grand, we've thought about it, discussed and came to a conclusion that we do not wish to go through the headache. To the people out there engaging & coordinating with various contractors, well done, guys! Still, I can safely say, the price quoted are reasonably charged with THAT much of a makeover. We did cut down the overall cost by omitting some items that we can DIY & source out some supplied items for a lower price. For now, we can only hope for the best in the overall outcome.

I will share more in depth of the making of Yus&Raf's lovenest in a separate post. I know that my blog has been too wordy as of late. Thanks for bearing w me.

Bed's calling me already.

Tata for now!!!

Love,

(This is one long overdue post... Been too busy to even blog or upload photos. But anyways, here U go.. )

My companion

Is none other than my one and only...

Mohammed Yusri Bin Sulaiman

Pic taken in 2006. A must pose by the staircase. :S

My other half who completes my life.

My partner who's willing to sacrifice his life just to be my ally (I can be mischievious at times, and most often than not, Yus will be the scaredy cat, and he'll offered or by forced will be my "mata-mata" (eyes) instead). Hahaha!

My Spouse whom I have the highest respect for.

A Brother I've never had, and I am glad I have one now.

My Ultimate BFF who knows *almost* every single thing about me. Almost because he claimed that he's learning more interesting facts about me as days passed and should he have known all these characteristics I possessed earlier, he would have married me right from start. Oh how much sweeter can U get, Hon?? ;)

My Lover who never fail to satisfy my every single desire.

And despite that all, there are times that I hated him oh-so-terribly-much that I made him my sworn enemy. You know, those few occassions when we had our fair share of disagreements and cold wars. *shrugs shoulder*

Having known him for more than a decade, I can safely declare that I have known him thoroughly. And thank Gawd, I may not b his first *monkey* love, I havta admit Im lucky that I am his first true love & has been his first serious girlfriend. There was no such person as ex-girlfriend. *Phew* So yeah, I was never insecure when it comes to that aspect. Lucky eh? An advantage when one starts young. (Read: Miang)
Every single thing about my Mr. Y is at e tips of my finger. Even his deepest worst secret, I have managed to discover.

Besides my family, Mr Y is my biggest supporter in whatever I do. He thinks highly of me. And is proud of all of my achievements, no matter how small it may be. *teary eyed*

I on the other hand, is his No. 1 biggest critic
My dear Husband, U knw e reason, don't U, Hon? I did that on purpose to motivate you to excel in everything that U do. For e records, U've managed to convince me how into photography U r. I am hard to be impressed. But with Ur determination & hard work, I believe in Ur capabilities & no longer doubt it. And of course there are many other things. This is just one of them.

When was this taken, Hon? I can't recall. Wahlauu, Ur pimples were so obvious! =p

Darling... we may have a totally differernt perspective of opinions in life but one thing for sure is that we are both looking at the same vision & direction in achieving our goals.

Thank you, Honey, for believing in me.
For always giving in to my every request no matter how absurd some may ridiculously sound.

Have I told U how much I love U? You that already by now. With that being said, I would like to end this with a belated birthday post for my full grown baby! (I told cha this is way overdue. It shd be on e 6th June, but still, better late than never.)

Dearest Sunshine of my life,
May you always fly high in life and touch all of your dreams. I love you for everything you are. Happy Birthday!

I am sorry there is really no surprise for your birthday this time around. We both have made pinky promises on that. But U got back on ur words. How cld U! I felt bad, really. But anyways, one thing for sure, I know that ur in love with ur birthday gift, yPad! I wish I am e iPad which we named yPad! Yus have it w him at all time, even during toilet breaks! :S

I so cannot wait for our Anniverssary in Nov!

Much Love,
Ni De LaoPo
