My simple office attire!

It was an ordinary office day for me when suddenly one of my colleagues told me that we are living in 5 minutes to attend a client meeting.

I was like "What?" how come just now, I was not able to prepare!
I mean I was wearing an inappropriate office attire for a client meeting.

I stopped for a while and think of the things that I have with me to make me look professional.

Just so you can relate, this is what I was wearing when I arrived at the office.


Actually this attire is very me!  I am not such a fan of polo shirt, skirt anymore since I want to be a little bit more casual but still has the office attire look.


This one is black top, black slacks, grey short sleeves cardigan and red flats. :)


When my colleague told me the news about the client meeting, I immediately thought of the wardrobe that I may have in handy in my bin.

Luckily, I have 2 pair of shoes (I like to keep one or two in handy for such event), I also I have my blazer (also reserving it for a candidate or client meeting) and then just that day my friend returned my scarf!  

Yahoo now that my attire is complete, I just have to fix my hair, put a little bit of lipstick and then I am off to my client meeting!

Nice right?!! Yes! It was fun! Fun to have the girl scout spirit in me.






 


Now this is what happened to me! Ready to hit the conference room and meet with the clients!

 Just sharing! how things in my bin got in handy in times of needs!

Happy Friday: Carry yourself NOW!

 

 
Nothing is impossible even the word says "I'm possible" - Audrey Hepburn







The key here is for us to learn where to start.. once we have figured out where to start then the next question is "how?".
 
There is no question about when because it should be "NOW"!. 

Even the fish can fly ONLY if they believed in what they want to achieve so I think us as humans can do a lot more!

 
Sometimes it is not the goal that bothers us a lot, it is the ability to start NOW! :)

Pit Stop!

When the time comes that you feel down and exhausted, stop for a while!

Give yourself some time to think and reflect on where you are right now and appreciate every beauty in your surrounding.

Think back on what gives you the inspiration to live and live a happy life!

That's good enough to feel happy and contented!

Remember: Happy people are those who are contented with what they have and has the ability to continuously inspire themselves and others!

Pre Nuptial Pictorial - Jen and Ed

 I personally liked engagement shots (pre-nuptial pictorials).  You will notice from the previous blogs that I have shared.

> Our Pre-nup
> Our dear friend Noel
> Pre-nup inspiration

I especially liked the fact that a couple is very much inlove and it shows in their eyes.  Even more, they can show how quirky they are in their engagement shots!

 


On the other hand my husband likes to take photos and majority of his shots were of course me! Sometimes we think if there will be a chance that he can shoot other people.

Last month it happened..

It all started when we had dinner at Ed's place and we talked about how pre- nuptial pictorials can be so exciting.  We started to talk about which theme to use, which place to go and started to exchange ideas. There were a lot to think about, however, since Jen is going back to Philippines (to take care of their wedding preparations) we immediatly decided if they wanted to have their quick pe-nuptial pictorial here in Malaysia; even with the simplest theme that we can think of.

A week after the said dinner, one Saturday morning, while we all met at the market place, Jen and Ed mention that the pre-nuptial pictorial was on and asked if we were available to join them.  Excitedly, we answered a big "YES".

Sunday:

We initially planned to have the shoot at Titiwangsa Lake (simply because I  cannot think of any other park here in Malaysia). BUT! Ed's GPS broke down and we lost our way going to Titiwangsa Lake and we found ourselves going towards Putrajaya!

Blessing in disguise, Ed decided to come to Taman Botani instead!

It was all our first time to come to that place and we were all delighted on what we've seen.  There were a lot of spots good for photo opps and we did not waste any time and started shooting!

Our second stop was at Putrajaya Mosque but we did not enter the mosque, we went over the lakeside and did some photo opps there.

 

I was very happy to find out that Jen prepared for this pre-nup shoot by preparing some props!  One of the best props that she made was the message "Grow old with me", very simple line but it says a lot!

I know from my heart of hearts that me and my husband were lucky to have this opportunity!  We are not professionals but we were able to share our passion to this wonderful couple!

I hope that the happiness shown in the pictures will not only be pictures but will be the feeling forever!  Forever HAPPY and INLOVE!

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Ed and Jen!

Happy Friday: WORLD TEACHER'S DAY!

In many countries, Teacher's Day are intended to be special days for the appreciation of teachers, and many include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.  The date on which Teacher's day is celebrated varies from country to country.
(From Wikipedia)

Today we are celebrating WORLD TEACHER'S DAY. 






Now I am not only celebrating this day for my teachers but I am very proud to celebrate this day together with Mama who has been my Teacher until this day and will be my teacher until forever.

She did not only contributed to an academic aspect in my school days but she gave me the LIFE that no one can offer and gave me the INDEPENDENCE that no other person can teach me (of course with PAPA's guidance as well).

Nothing can compare to how patient she was in making us (me, Gboy, Mika, Louise) a responsible student, person, friend and child. 

Everything was done with LOVE and COMMITMENT.

Now all people are celebrating this day to honor their teachers but I am celebrating this day to HONOR my MOTHER who became an inspiration not only to me ( and my siblings) but also to thousands of students whom she shared her LIFE with.

Being a teacher is no JOKE! It is the willingness to share your life to others even if some people do not realize its value!

Ways to LOVE!

Sharing is LOVING and LOVING is sharing!
It will always be better to give than to receive.  
Therefore, give without asking something in return and 
GOOD THINGS will just go flowing our way!
