every woman wants to look and feel perfect or at least good on her big day.
with so many bridal styles available nowadays, how to choose a wedding dress style that suits me?
first, let's identify my body type.
i'm not big but not small either.
i have a little extra meat on my body (ceh meat kunun, padahal fat).
basically there are four general body types.
-apple
-rectangular
-pear
-hourglass
mine is hourglass - equal hip and bust measurements with a narrow waist.
haha pembohong!
mine is between apple and rectangular - broad shoulders, full bust, undefined waist, waist is about the same as hips, and large thighs.
more like a cylinder - down rendah diri.
between ball gowns, a-line dresses, empire line dresses, and mermaid dresses which one do you think suits me best?
me myself, i prefer both empire line and a-line - something in between those styles.
the clever empire line style is good to conceal a larger waist.
tends to elongate the body, giving an appearance of being taller.
while the a-line is good to hide hips and large thighs.
and i want it to be simple yet elegant.
simple means to forgo long train and long veil, with minimal detailings and simple jewellery.
i know that it takes a certain confidence to keep things simple, but the effects are always stunning.
what say you?

give and help save lives
do you know that there are 925 million undernourished people in the world today? (Source: FAO news release, 14 September 2010)
- meaning one in seven people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life.
do you know that hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to the health worldwide?
- greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
so now that you know.
join me help KFC and the World Food Programme to fight hunger around the world.
your contribution is rm3 and you will get above small notepad and pen.
to pay extra rm3 on your meal won't effect you in any way.
at least you are helping to put an end to hunger and make the world a brighter place for all.

don't make assumptions
ppl have a tendency to make assumptions.
ppl make assumptions about what others are thinking or doing, what motivates them, what their personal history is.. everything.
the problem with making assumptions is that the mind cannot differentiate between what is real and what is just a thought.
ppl create the stories themselves and believe they are the truth.
sometimes, i do also have a tendency to make assumptions.
i overanalyze on what someone has done or what ppl think or feel about me without checking the facts.
to make assumptions is an easy task.
but hey, that is not the way the world works!
by making assumptions, we tend to see what we want to see.
we tend to hear what we want to hear.
we do not perceive things the way they actually are.
and worse thing worst, we believe that they are right.
making assumptions leads to a lot of difficulties and misunderstandings.
just remember that we cannot read other ppl's mind.
and our thinking and style might be different from others.
what is important to us and what we believe are definitely not the same for others.
ppl do not have a same set of values.
so it is impossible for us to know why someone is how they are or does what they do.
don't complicate your life by making too much of assumptions.
or if you still want, ask questions to clarify before you jump into conclusion.
