Shoe festival

Alright super overdue. Probably cerita basi already.

Last week was the Shoe Festival. There is a longer name for it, but I call it "my date with unkle Jimmy". Sarah and I wanted to go on Thursday but we were not sure if it was open to public. That's when I tried calling PWTC, and I got transferred to the Prime Minister's office or something *cricket sound*.

So Friday off we went (because the PM would'nt attend my enquiries on Jimmy Choo). I was stuck in traffic forever. We went in at about 7.30 pm. Before the entrance was a showcase of clothes ala Gaga.

"Eh, arn't we going to a Shoe Festival??" -Me.

There was a shoe-designing competition or something and they had all entries showcased at the entrance/exit. Seriously guys, all sorts of creepy shoes there. I mean, I'm all for us being creative and stuff, but....

..... I'll just let you guys be the judge, ok.

I have to admit, some designs were awesome. But some..... not so much.

Oh the 1st prize winner :

It kinda looks like something you could get in Sungei Wang, right?

Inside was juast basically 'booths' of different brands of shoes, supposedly selling super cheap (don't be fooled, not much different). Got pretty dissapointed when all I saw was brands that I could walk to One Utama and see it (less crowded too). So we were just wandering around in a sea of eager shoe-holics.

...and we got stuck at one booth. She is a new (sort of) designer who produces amazingly gorgeous and comfortable shoes! She designs based on batiks, so she really turned traditional to sophisticated.

Sarah started crying and banging her head on the wall and start begging people on the street to buy her this one pair of shoes (espiacially when her mom stopped responding to her).heh.

That was about it. But! We did take a picture with Jimmy Choo. I spotted him behind me and I could not breathe..

Me : Oh. My.......*faint*

Sarah : *froze and smile* I know...
Fazna : *loudly* Who is that? ......Is that Jimmy Choo?
Me and Sarah : Uhuh.
Fazna : Oh we are so taking a picture with him *pulls me*

Embarassing.

Oh well, i touched him. Now I feel like I can design shoes in my sleep, y'all.

Ok my friends are going to kill me, but I lost the picture!! Its somewhere in my computer! Shit.

Nevermind, here's a picture of us with a big red shoe!

One Year

One year ago, I started this blog.

LuckyTwentyEight turns 1.

What made me registered, and wrote my first post was purely just me wanting to share with people how my daily life is like. Honestly, even I didnt know I was living quite a wonderful life until I write about it every other day, alhamdulillah. I guess i appreciate my life more when I see it in black and white (ok, maybe all the colours blogspot font has).

Its interesting to see my family come up and say they read my blog *waves at Sulaiman crew and AlMohdhar crew*. Of course I have my friends that scolds me when I dont update *Hi Fazu*.

Anyway, thank you all.

I hope my kids and grandchildren will read my blog and see what their mother/grandmama was up too. Ok, maybe you guys should not eat these unhealthy food I ate.

....to many many more years!!! Cheers *picks up a mug of rootbeer*

P.S I dont know what I've been busy with, but I have posts lined up to be published. Stay tune.

Review : Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Through Nuffnang, TGV have given me 4 complimentary tickets (any movie, any time) as a birthday gift! Thanks Nuffnang & TGV!!! *waves like a mad person*.

After going back and forth on choosing what to watch. Close call between ..dalam botol and HMM. All about supporting local movie industry here. At last we picked HMM.

We watched a pretty late show, and I don't know if it was the movie, or timing, or that I was dead tired, I got annoyed and was praying hard that the movie was ending soon. The only character I like in the movie was Ling Ling. I swear, she's so cute. Apart from that, I thought the movie quite sucked. ...ok, I really don't know history, so I didn't know that Romans are British. Are they?

Yes, it was an English-Malay movie, but their English sucked, and their Malay sucked more. Like there are no Malaysian to take up the leading role, they decided to take a foreign dude, and make him speak Malay.Smart.

Everything about the movie was just...weird. All the hu-ha about graphics was awesome and stuff, but honestly, it gave me a headache. Some scenes they tried to make it really funny (like there's one scene on the ship, where the prince and merong was sort of fighting, but he ended up reading out poems.creepy), it just looked like a scene from Pirates of the Carribean...gone wrong.

"You can't compare its quality with hollywood movie, but look at it and compare with Malaysian movie so far.It's pretty good right?" -Sofia

No. Adnan Sempit didnt have ships and swords and half naked men running around un underwear, it was still awesome.

HMM really wasted my time. Or maybe I was just so annoyed this idiot behind me kept coughing (without covering her damn mouth) throughout the movie.urgh.

RIP 24 hours

Sad, sad morning for me.

You see, the only pets that are allowed in this house are fishes. No cats, nothing furry that has a possibility to poop anywhere is allowed in this house. Thanks to a clean freak mom.

So for the past year, I've been buying fishes as pets. Some survived a day, some survived a year. RIP Wednesday, Ismail, Starbucks, Pillow, Sushi...and many many more fishes *cry*.

My favourite fish is 24 hours. He was the first fish I bought, last year, on my birthday.

He was such a happy fish, I even thought him how to dance.hehe.

This morning, I woke up to feed my fishes (I had 2 fishes only, Siti and 24hours)...

24 hours is gone!!!!!!

My oldest fish is dead. Dieded. Died.

Mommy wanted to fry him, and she did it with an evil laugh.Sobs.

A not-so-surprise Party!

This is waaaaay overdue.

"Something from Azrin"

My 22nd birthday this year. Was suppose to be a surprise! But here's the thing. I love to spoil people's surprise for me. I don't know why, but I think I need to stop doing it. So I knew Azrin, my cousin and probably some of my friends was planning a surprise for about a week before my birthday, but I waited til a day before the party to "poop on the party" haha.

So they ignored the fact that I knew and stick with their original plan.Sort of. I don't know how, but they were all still wanted to surprise me.

Their plan : to surprise me at about 4 pm (at Azrin's house)

So from morning till afternoon, Azrin and I was texting (he was still trying to make up some things) so at 2, I texted him "Bee, I'm tired, going to go sleep now. Will text u when I wake up". Little did they know, I was already on the way to Azrin's.

I sneaked into the house.. *image: one friend was blowing balloon, one friend was making balloon poodle, one friend was making a crown out of paper, one friend was cooking*

What was inside my "crown"



"Surprise!!!!" I yelled.

Friends : *blink blink* err...Surprise!!!

 HAHA high-larious. Of course, they got pissed and make me blow my own balloons (hello, who makes birthday girl do stuff on her birthday?). So my mission of the day, was to surprise every guests that came.

Super fun.

So people came, we BBQed (ok, I didnt go near the grill because it was so hot, and I believe that I might melt). Yummy food. Ate like there's no tomorrow.

....and than there's charades. Of course, my team won *blow nails*

Azrin gave me a lovely gifts.

I've been wanting this one book for a while, and Sarah got it for me. Super love!!! Finished reading already :)

On a different note, Happy birthday to Greg! Its so freaking cool to share the same birthday as one of your best friend, but its so not cool, not spending it together for the past 40 years.

BOOOOO! *thumb down*

New Mane

Oh, in conjunction with le birthday, I decided to get a.....

Haircut. It was sort of a "i feel like cutting hair, so lets go right now or i'll change my mind" moment.

When I got to the salon, I was just staring at the stylist, don't know what to do. I really did not expect to cut my hair. Idea came out of nowhere.

Half way, I wanted to cry looking at the mountains of hair on the floor. I did not dare look in the mirror, the whole time, I was shoving a book in my face.

Silly me, I forgot to take a picture right after (which is an abnormal thing for a girl), so this picture was a day after.

I can't whip my hair back and forth no more.Sobs. Oh, and since this is probably my last few months of being s student, I was thinking of dye-ing my hair in crazy colours, say pink? Because once I start working, there's no way I can do those stuff. Would you take an investment banker with green hair seriously?

Me : Ma, I got a haircut!!

Mum : *stares at me for a good 2 minutes* U did?
Me : Duh, uh! *shakes head like Sunsilk commercial*
Mum : Nyeeeeeeeeeeeeh *continues watching tv*

I feel loved.
