The Hidden Pair



The hidden pair..that's what my lovely Ida called it..yup..it is a hidden pair..hide under the staircase *wink wink*. I know i have the right to buy whatever i want..merely because i want and because i can ( not really because i need..heee)...but still i do feel 'kecut' if my husband finds out that i just bought another pair of shoe..and another..and another..well, he didnt say much actually..but i just..kecut..haha..orang bersalah kata kan..

Im not really into slipper because i dont really wear one.  However, the Fitflop craze have caught my attention..i tried them a couple of times during my window shopping session..and this pattern struck my heart..i was hit by 'i must get u though i dont know when m gonna wear u' syndrom..heee

Let me inject some info about Fitflop (well...m a lecturer..so, the element of teaching mesti ada :) Fitflop was created by the 41 year old Marcia Kilgore, a married mother of two. She and many other women like her, was so busy that she barely had time to juggle her work and workout with all the motherhood responsibilities on top of that.  'Everybody does a bit of walking..what about a flip-flop?  It's not that expensive to make, it's lightweight, it's going to work your muscles more, it doesn't hurt, it's not messy, you can slip it on and off"...
And so the Fitflop was born.
Marcia Kilgore

Now, i finally grabbed one of Marcia's creation that i have kept hidden under my staircase for 2 weeks..and I love the pair because they make me smile !

Supervisor is coming to town

"hai..im coming down to kuching tomorrow"......what?????? Owh nooooo...she is coming without notifying me in advance..wraghhhhhhh

Lucky me, i have done like 80% of my proposal (at least i have a physical evidence to show her though im doubtful of the quality of my produce) but still it gives me a shock of my life that i jumped out of my bed and drove to see my 2nd supervisor (Dr. Fir..my nickname for him) for a 911 call...

There are areas that needed to be amended..but i was so overwhelm that i cant do any

Finally met my supervisor last night...lets call her Prof.Z..ya met her..then..?? Prof. Z said 'do the amendment first'..hmm..is that it? after all the nervousness and silly billyness??? well..never mind..she gave me a  number of useful tips & words of encouragement

Huhuhu...tons of work waiting for me...owh ME..please be strong...owh my head..dont give me migraine...i need to use you

Dilema si pemakai hijab dan baju pengantin

I know this topic will create a stir.. (owhhh..what an introduction..)

Ya, it will create a stir because im touching on an issue that is very sensitive..private (maybe) and its related to religion..but i have this "mual" in my stomach and i need to vomit it out..ok, im not qualified to be 'calon-calon wanita muslimah'..first, im not wearing the hijab as what other muslim women do..i have my own reason why..i dont have to mention it here as that will not just creating a stir but a tsunami..i just name 1 reason, rather a principle to me ~ I believe in doing thing with ikhlas & tulus..not to fit in or 'to show'..and i believe in 'hati yang bersih'..everything comes from the heart not from how we look

I was called tO write on this topic after i saw a wedding pictures of someone that i know. she just got married and happy..lalalalala..

Her everday look is with hijab..covering herself top to toe..muslimah ~ calon-calon nya ialah...jeng jeng jeng..yes..she can be the calon..the family is also known as the 'mereka yang alim alim belaka'..what become an issue here is she posted her pre-weddng pictures in Facebook & her blog..well, everyone does that..its a happy day right..BUT..her pre-wedding
pictures were taken during a holiday of her & her fiance (belum kawin yer..)..shocked &
surprised..in one of her album, she is wearing a tiub dress that exposing the upper part of her body..no hijab (of course lah..) and gambar touching touching with her not-yet-husband

My question is, is she allowed to do that because it is her wedding day? Is she allowed to touch a man (touch is a more gentle word to describe the act of hugging, cuddlng dan yang sewaktu dengan nya) who is her husband to be? Is it ok for a woman who wear hijab to take it off..wear revealing dress because she is getting married? I mean, for orang yang tidak alim
like me, i still have that subconcious mind to think taht such acts are not right..well..perhaps i still can consider that as ok if they keep it as 'for our eyes only'..but not for the whole universe to observe

I may be a penyibuk..what do i know..why do i care..me myself is not wearing hijab..im not perfect myself..jangan jaga tepi kain orang..well, kalau kain disimpan elok, saya tak jaga..kalau kasi saya tengok..saya akan tengok, evaluate & analyse..i would rather be myself..look like who i am now..tapi tidak sekali kali memperlekehkan diri sendiri & agama hanya atas sebab sebuah album perkahwinan..

As for me, when the time comes for me to wear hijab..i want to be ready..mentally, spiritually & physically..with ketetapan iman serta diperlihara tingkah laku agar tidak menjadi momokan orang..

Forgive me for being vocal..but..i can only describe it in one sentence ~ "what a shame"

Proposal proposal proposal...

Yup..proposal...in UiTM system, we are given 1 semester just to prepare our proposal..then we need to defense our proposal in the main campus Shah Alam..my defense is scheduled to be in February...hukhukhuk....cry looooo..die die

I have done mine about 90%...great??? Hmm...dont praise me yet..im still in doublt..it cannot be this easy. Some of our fellow phd student took 2-3 semesters to complete their proposal. After 2 - 3 times defending, only then the proposal is accepted..it cannot be this easy for me..it is impossible that i can do it as easy as this while my friends are tergoleng-goleng fell off their chair doing theirs..

Will be meeting my 2nd supervisor a day after tomorrow and have a discussion on my proposal..he didnt give me any feedback since he received it last week...wuhuhuhu...m freaking out here..he is my second supervisor..once he confirmed that my work is acceptable..then i will send it to my main supervisor who is known with her strictness..heartless..'pengempang'..'aku peduli apa' probably her tagline..but quality is her highest priority..that is the reason why my husband send me to her..for her to squeeze & renyuk..hehe..no lah..so that i can get a quality phd

I pray that my proposal is ok..at least my idea can be accepted..other amendments can be done as long as its not a complete rubbish..

Proposal on the way

At this point of time, i have completed my 8 Research Methodology modules..Will get the certificate of attendence, without one i cant proceed with my Phd..it was such a challenging time. Not because of the modules..it was me, just me.. I dont think i can survive long hours in classes anymore. I Feel miserable & distracted.

I was worried that i still cant find the niche area that i will do in my research..thank god, i was like 'mendapat hidayah' when i attended Sambutan Hari Wanita at Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak..i listened to our Chief Minister's speech..was so into it and suddently..banggggg...the idea just pop up

Today, just 4 days after i got the hidayah, im sitting in front of my supervisor..i have a grip of my topic..my spervisor showed me the way..yeah..m excited and i can yell "i can see the light"

Opulent Handmade Statement Necklaces

 Wow..it been a while since my last visit..ya..i've been busy..busy..busy...sighhhhh

One of the reasons why I've been busy is this..my hobby in jewelry making..i love making my own jewelry..I have made a few pieces for myself and I cant stand it when people keep on asking, "u made it yourself? ada jual sik? polah dengan kamek juak.."...ok ok...here I make some for my jewelry enthusiasts..

I have become a bit of a monster when comes to accessorizing. I always love a standout jewelry that is versatile, lavish, sparkle and make me look different-noticed fashionista. Ya..i turned so many heads...some look at me like they never seen this creature before..and i also get comments..for instance, there was this one 'Datuk' that teased me during one function "owh..your necklace is so sparkles..so bright, brighter than the camera's flash..nanti semua gambar rosak.." hahahaha...tetak jak lah aku..i take it as a compliment...if its not a compliment..ada ku kisah??? kau ada?? sikdaaaa....hahahaha

Here..I showcase to you my one-of-a-kind design - The Opulent Statement Necklaces by Anna Sue. Fantastic statement pieces with a rich array of chunky & small beads, clear & colored stones and other elements which stuck together in a fabulous fun necklace. The collection is perfect as evening wear or for women who want sparkling style throughout the day..these pieces is made available at KHATERA House of Coutures and lovingly it is designed & handmade by me - Anna Sue..the designer wannabe & wannababe!












One of my dreams is to establish my designer's name - Anna Sue..*wink wink*

So people, I still have more projects to come..tungguuuuuuuuuuuuuu....
