What's keeping me busy nowadays...?? Chekidaut!!

ok, 1st of all i'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for not updating this blog of mine for a loooooooong time. i've always said that i have all the time in my hands but they are thing that keeps me busy all the time nowadays. sorry for my ignorance JEZZEBELLERZ. i need to put like an hour for you no?? am i right?? without further adieu let's check out what's filling my time these days..

i've told you about this little business of mine did i?? i sure did. check my previous entry ok JEZZEBELLERZ. we are now expanding i mean not like buka kedai or somthing like that. but in terms of merchandise we have more things to sell. we added bangles, hairband and handbags. browse for photo down here to see what i meant by that.

see, rather than the dress and clothes, we are now ade segala macam product.. alhamdulillah. but as usual laa, dalam mase setahun ni memang akan suffer la sikit. hopefully dalam masa setahun dua akan stable balik.. insya Allah. masa tu, i think we look back and smile. experience will teach us to be stronger. been there, done that sort of thing. hopefully.

till then, now u get the idea kan?? so forgive me for my laziness. see u when i see u. arriverdici, au revoir.

my 27th birthday bash

hi there,

i just turned 27 on the January 19th 2012. 1st of all, i got to celebrate @ Genting with my bestie. we had fun despite sejuk sampai tahap xleh tidur. we are not fond of cold weather. hehehe.. but since i've got free room from my beloved boss, we think we should not let it go to waste. unfortunately we didn't take any photos. what we have is purely the memories. hehehehe.... but the real celebration was the weekend coming back from Genting iaitu Chinese New Year celebration. all my family well, 8 out of 10 of my uncle and aunties came to KL to my Uncle Tamam's house to celebrate me turning 27. heheheh..

i'm so glad that this year i celebrated it with my family. used to be a wild party with my friends, just BFF birthday dinner, away birthday dinner, but this is the pinnacle of having my birthday with my bestest family and my beloved BFF ILYYANA ABD RAHIM and SURAYA TAMAM. yang xde AZMAWATI AZMI sebab die balik kelantan for CNY. but im so damn glad. since kalau ikutkan, my family only consist of me, ayah and ibu jer tapi since all of us are tight, everyone came together. thanks a trillion to all of them. jasa yang memang xterbalas oleh saya. banyak lagi gambar dalam FB ok. THIS IS THE BEST BRITHDAY BASH EVER. PERIOD.

see u when i see u, arriverdici, au revoir.

they are my LOVE, my SOUL, my HEART

hi there,

after a while of thinking what i'm gonna be featured in my blog, after careful thought, i decided to feature the LOML's. heheh yeah you got that right baby! Love Of My Life. people come and go but these are the people that makes my life meaningful, worth living from day to day, worth dying for, worth spending time for, worth what you can value life for. these are my rocks. without them life will be so empty. first of all will be (will ALWAYS be) the reason of me being even existed in this very world MY PARENTS. my ayah and ibu. without them, well there's no ME.

my ayah's name is Jamilluddin Bin Nordin. he's 51years old (2011). he's so sweet, has a big heart, passionate, hands on, patience and all the good thing compress into one soul. very2 understanding. that's the best trait of a father can have. he's a policeman. been serving the nation all his life. i'm your proud lil girl ayah. i remember back then when i told my father that i want to get married with my then-boyfriend he gently caress my hair and tell me that he's not ready to let me go yet. so sweet isn't he. i will never forget moments like that. and dad used to rescue me when i was drowning while having a picnic at waterfall at his hometown. regardless of his own life.. i love u sangat2 ayah.

my ibu's name is Jasimah Binti Jamioon. she's 53years old (2011). she's a typical mother. a lil bit naggy, always wants the best for her only child, ONLY SETTLE THE BEST FOR ME, and i have this weird relationship with her. as a nurse, she's very mean. i met with an accident back then but she treated me like one of her patient. she cleaned my cut but did it in the harsh way instead with TLC but when i'm away, she's all lovey dovey, even cried for me if i don't have money to spend. the fondest memory i have of her will be the one when i came back home from my college in KL, in my room covered with a white cloth i discovered a a brand new laptop and she said i would need them someday. back then laptop can cause a fortune and truth to be told i don't give a damn about owning one someday because i can use the PC from my college but that was back then. she was all-teary when she told me that. ibu, you are so sweet. i love u sangat2 ibu.

being the family oriented kinda girl i'm very close to both side of my family. ayah's side and ibu's side. they are all so nice, sporting, and boleh gurau kasar. that's typical Johorean and Perakian family. we're such a tight unit. we support each other, we are each others rock. we're the kind of family that are always ready to get down and getting dirty together. one for all and all for one.

MollyLulu Online Shop

what is MollyLulu OnlineShop?? well, this is why i haven't had the time to update my blog. i got so much going on with my life right now apart from my BFF moving back in with me after a long time and my love life in a good shape so i sometimes see that i don't need to express myself even more. but seeing this blog being dump making my heart wrench. i used to vow that i will update this humble blog of mine once a month at least but masa vow tu dibuat, MollyLulu OnlineShop belum terjadi.

let me take you to the day MollyLulu OnlineShop was born. one fine day, my BFF Ilyyana Abd Rahim woke up from her sleep and gave us the idea of why kita xmeniaga barang baby online since she's working in a baby boutique, got the access to all the suppliers and all? so i said yah, why not right? it seems like a good idea since a lot of house wife now most of them are on the line all the time at home? since then, we've been doing a lot or research regarding what line of product we want to carry, which company can give us a good margins, how we going to market the product, website development, emails and etc etc. since then, no turning back for us. we invest equally 50-50 percent share so easier to divide.

the decision of taking Ilyyana Bad Rahim as partners apart from it was her genius idea well, i must say that comes natural to me. we've been looking some kind of business to be working together with since dulu2 lagi. and she's my bff. nothing more natural than that. we've known each other since way back then, our family also knew each other. after much deliberation, we're now carrying PuraKiki Stainless Steel Feeding Bottle and Yoomi Self-Heating Feeding Bottles and also, since we don't want to focus on baby feeding products, we also carry cute, comfortable clothing line and vintage accessories. here are some pictures of our products

well that was from our PuraKiki Stainless Steel Feeding Bottles

here's our Yoomi's range

and that is Yoomi's range. now let us move to the clothing line range that MollyLulu OnlineShop carry.

that pretty much of the clothing line... let's move to our vintage accessories...

that was among the collection we have. still ade lagi yang x di upload. details about all the items can be found http://mollylulushop.blogspot.com/ here.

that's what keeping me busy. but fret not, i will try to make sure that i'll divide my time equally for both life and business. well, i'm sure of hell i'd hoped for that. ingat, kita buat dia. bukan die buat kita. please my fellow JEZZEBELLERS pray for me and MollyLulu OnlineShop so i can have more free time to write for you. perasannya lah macam ramai orang baca. so JEZZEBELLERS, till next time. see u when i see u. au revoir and arriverdici.

MAY ALLAH BLESS US ALL
