Sneak peek of the Eid-Ul-Fitr 2013 collection!

Finally, I can give you a sneak peek of the Eid-Ul-Fitr 2013 collection!

What we have in store are...

"Playful" Plain Kurung! 

These are all of the Kids Baju Kurung without any additional embellishments. 

The whole range is called "Playful" because it is indeed a playful and colourful collection. The vibrant and zesty colours brings out the playfulness and euphoric feeling especially during a joyous festive Eid-Ul-Fitr.

AND...

"Pretty" Manik Kurung!

These are the Kids Baju Kurung which were carefully handcrafted with special sequins and beads, and what makes it more special is that the beads and sequins were sewn into a 3 dimensional pattern. So, extra care shall be given to these beautiful pieces! ;)

The whole range of both collections will be showcased reaaaalllyyy soon, so you should really keep tabs on it...hehehehe..

I have also another range of pretty accesories, namely hairbands which will also come really really soon..These "Precious" pieces will definitely complement the whole outfit and pull your lil' darlings' looks together :)

Exciting things coming soon!

Hello all! I have been quiet for quite some time now..BUT for a pretty good reason..

Can't wait to share with all of you!
Here's a sneak peak :)

Shopping for your lil' one will be a fun and colourful one soon..

Watch out for this space!!

Of Walking Candy and Hot Mommies

Always and will be kids' weaknesses.

And reasons why I'm OK with the once-in-a-while-candy-indulgence...

Can someone please take that dummy away!

This kid is full of drama. The moment I wanna talk about confiscating her dummy, she starts with her antics and babbling..(of course with the "I-still-got-the-baby-talk" it was kinda hard to comprehend what she was trying to tell me)

But! when it gets overboard, I will be slapping my forehead when the lil' one gets all sugar rush and sugar high.. 

OK enough darling, you've been wrestling with that candy for far too long now...

Morover, there's just too much sugar and colourings in it that is just not suitable for growing children. (Yes, I am guilty of such.....   -_____-  )

Anyway, speaking of sugar rush, I went for some weekend shopping to get some educational toys for my daughter, but ended up buying clothes for her. *Slaps forehead again*

But really, you can't blame me..Just look my purchases..
(Styling pieces by Truly Scrumptious by Heidi Klum)

Candy Floss Top

Sequinned rainbow top

and drum-roll please........

Ombre cheetah-print leggings!

Speaking of which, supermodel-mommy-designer-tv host-all-in-1 Heidi Klum definitely has the eye for fashion even for kids fashion! Having 4 kids does not deter her from designing these cute, fun, colourful and fashion-forward pieces..I'm sure her kids are her inspirations..motherhood never looked this good innit!

(allow me to drool while wishing I was also a hot momma..)

Other yummy-fashion designer-mommies with their brood..

The ever so stylish Victoria Beckham..

Gwen Stefani's best rockin' accessory of course is her son

...and the list goes on!

And on my personal waiting list (mommy-in-waiting actually is....)
The most stylish and impeccable mom-to-be...

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton...Always stunning!!

So ladies, does these looks inspire you? 

Now who says motherhood means you need to sacrifice your own fashion sense?  :)

Mum's the word

Happy Mother's Day to all mommies, mommies-to-be, step-mommies, aunties, grandmas and to myself as well! Hehehe..

A huge tribute goes out to all ladies who are, and play the role as mommies..hats off, hands up and big cheers for u!

Sorry for the late wish ladies but I hope all of you had a good one with your loved ones. Well, mine didn't actually turned out well - My mom was admitted to the hospital for incessant coughs so being the only daughter at home of course I had to be there for her. And my 1-year-old daughter still didn't know the meaning of Mother's Day yet (perhaps everyday is Mother's Day for her or perhaps I should be giving her dad more hints) so it was a simple Mother's Day for me and mom at the hospital. But anyway mom has been discharged from the hospital and going for her follow-up check ups so all is good now. 

My surprise bouquet of carnations and a huge wishing card to cheer mom up..

You should see the shock on her face when I brought in the bouquet of flowers in her ward..heheh now that's what we call a grand entrance. Actually it's just a simple bouquet but being moms, they will be teary-eyed with everything. (I know I am for sure). As I have become a mother myself, being at the hospital with her wasn't a chore at all. It all starts coming back to me..all the flashback moments..when I was in hospital and mom was there for me too..growing up all mischievous and of course who else to make me into the person I am today - of course Mom..So Mom, besides the flowers and gift i gave to you, I'm not so good with words but here's a little dedication to you..

Mama by The Spice Girls

She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood (So now)
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
(You're my friend)

I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood (So now)
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
(You're my friend)
You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why (I know why)
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes (I see through your eyes)
All I can give you is love (All I can give you is love)

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
(You're my friend)
Ohhh, oh mama
(You're my friend)
Ohhh, oh, ohhhhh mama 
Ohhh, oh, ohhhhh mama I'm loving You
Your Loving Me
(Continues in background) I Know Its True
Mama I love you And Garranteed
Mama I care
Mama I love you I'm Loving You
Mama my friend Your Loving Me
I Know Its True
Mama I love you And Garranteed
Mama I care
Mama I love you I'm Loving You (Loving You)
Mama my friend Your Loving Me (Loving Me)
I Know Its True (I know Its True)
Mama I love you And Garranteed 
Mama I care
Mama I love you

I was also planning for a Mother's Day activity with my daughter as well but that didn't happen so I'll try to make everyday as Mother's Day..Heheh..I always told mom that my greatest fear in life is giving birth but her assurance gave me the confidence to weather through the whole labour process. Painful! BUT oh-so-worth-it. The best pain and gift I could ever ask for..

Of course I just HAD to slit in the "Keep Calm For Mums" notebook..

How else can I keep myself sane while being a mother? ;)

Baby Boom - The Diapercake Story

I have a confession to make -- I am a terrible baker, my banana cake will usually look like it just fell flat on its face or my puddings will taste like rubber. Either the oven hates me or these hands were not made for baking. (perhaps I have other untapped talents rite....<--trying to pacify myself. Heheh)

But what do you know, I FINALLY am good at baking! (well, not really that good but feels rewarding when you see the end product)..baking a Diaper-cake that is! (Hehe I fooled you for a second didn't I?) It's addictive really, once you get the hang of it (making Diapercakes that is) you feel like making more and more and more....

Anyway speaking of making diapercakes, lately it seems that everyone is or will have a lil bub. And for every mom or a mom-to-be they would have different stories to tell for each of their pregnancy. I'm only a mom to a daughter (as we speak) so I can't really compare one pregnancy to another. But I can say that mine was quite alrite (despite having to stop between meetings to throw up and enduring the "almost-wetting-my-pants-everytime-I-sneeze-or-cough") and I was quite surprise at myself for forcing myself to be active all the time. (duh, now that makes sense why Alveena is a handful!) and the feeling of someone growing in your stomach is truly indescribable. It's so surreal that something is growing in your tummy and the fact that the circumference of the belly is growing all angles keeps reality in check. (Don't get me started with the stretchmarks and itchy belly and the "how-come-I-feel-like-the-purple-coloured character-"Grimace"-from-McDonald's-sets-of-friends" and etc) But hey, look at the brighter side:

1) A baby makes love stronger, the days shorter, the nights longer, bankroll smaller, clothes shabbier and a home happier (riteee.....) BUT the past forgotten and the future worth living for.

2) Those who say they "Sleep like a baby', haven't got one. - Anonymous quote

3) Having one child makes you a parent, having two you are a referee - quote from David Frost (perhaps I would understand that when Alveena gets a sibling....)

and finally (for today)..

4) Wrinkles are hereditary - parents get them from their children. - quote from Doris Day    (soooo looking forward to that -__- )

Anyway what I wanna share really is the process of me making the diapercakes. The history is funny actually. I have a girlfriend who was asking me who could make a diapercake for another girlfriend who was gonna expect her lil one soon. She herself was already good at baking and such and here she was asking if I knew anyone who could make a diapercake or perhaps I had the talent to make one. I was like "You've gotta be kidding! Me and my oven, we are not friends YET, but I can recommend you to a friend who can make one". 

In my mind, I was all the time thinking a diapercake is a cake that looks like a diapercake (Yep, I know I know, don't give me the look please!!) So in the end I made the extra effort to make use of Google Image. And then i went "Ohhhhhhhhh". Hahaha. Please forgive the naive-ness. And when I wanted to get back to my girlfriend to tell her that I already knew what she was talking about, she had already finished her version of a diapercake. Haha so much of making an impression.

Anyway I was kinda intrigued to try my hands at it, from the ones I saw on the Net they were all neat, cute, colourful and looked soooo easy to make. And so I was just waiting for girlfriends who were about to pop the bun soon. And when I finally got the chance to make these babies, I managed to make both the pink and blue version...yeay!


First, the PINK version...

Getting ready all the baby stuffs..

Then setting the "cake" with diapers...the base, the bottom layer and top layer

Then, arranging them to fit into the "cake" structure..

Finally, a cake fit for a princess!

Oh, the pink bear was kinda tricky to be put as the pinnacle of the cake, 

so there was no pink bear in the end. Hehe.

Second try, the blue version..

Laying out all the baby blue stuffs..

Individually wrapping each item with blue ribbons..

The two-tier cake is almost ready..

Let's see if the rest of the stuffs can fit within the "cake"...

Oh shoot, again the soft toy can't seem to find its place on the "cake"..

...But Anyway....it's a wrap baby!!

I think if it's the next time I would have a baby, I'd be happily making my own diapercake and giving it to myself. Hahahaha. It's addictive you guys, you should try it! :)
