Hi guys..my friends convinced me to come out of the house..it's a sunday today..and we planned to go to the movies to see Django Unchained..the movie wasn't bad..its good for you guys who like gory details..we also planned to build a snowman before the movie..and hahaha...it turned out to be fun, even though our snowman looked horrible! I arrived 15 minutes late on purpose..hoping my friends were almost done with the snowman and i could take pictures with it and tell people that I helped make it (but these nice people decided to wait for me before they got started..sheesh!)..it turns out that its not so easy to make a snowman, or maybe we just didn't have the skills, coming from countries which never sees snow..haha..anyways..here are some pictures..

We found this guy on the other side of the park..the snowman we made is the fat one smoking a cigar..haha..

the snow is beautiful, isnt it? =)

Hi guys..im back! Im so tired because of the long flight ( 2 hours from LAX to Raleigh + 3 hours layover time + 4 hours from Raleigh to Boston) + 2.30 hours of bus ride from Boston to Hanover..then another 20 minutes of excruciating pain of dragging my heaving suitcase through the 8 inches of snow from where the bus dropped us to my house..i was all dizzy and i puked once i reached home..my skin is also breaking down, its very dry and so many zits are coming up to say 'hello world'...

Enough of the complaints..Sorry guys..

Well..Last week was my birthday...i got a lot of birthday wishes from friends and family which made me feel so loved..thank you guys! I was in California during my birthday, and I didn't tell my friends that it was my birthday..I don't really remember people's birthdays so I feel bad at announcing mine to people, so I kept quite..

Little did I know they planned a surprise for me..all of us where in San Francisco and we just arrived..it was a looong drive from LA (6 hours plus traffic)...and we were resting in our hotel when my friend, Nadiah said that it was just 8pm & we should explore the city..it was raining and I was reluctant (i now realise that the weather effects me, haha)..she said it'd be fun to walk in the rain, and I was like..OK fine, i'll give it a try..we walked around and she said she wanted some pastries and cakes..so we went to buy some..i had no idea it was for my surprise..

Then we went and met the boys (they went their separate ways from the hotel to find some cigars i guess)..we walked towards Union Square, which is kinda like a place where people sit and hang out..then my friend said 'Owh no, I forgot that I need some socks at H&M, izza can you 'teman' me?'...i said sure and i was thinking that I needed some socks too because I only brought a pair to San Francisco and they were already wet..

So the guys proceeded to Union Square, n Nadiah & I walked around..It was weird because she seemed to forget about H&M and just kept going into any shops that looked interesting..then she finally said she didn't want any socks and lets go meet the guys at Union Square..

I was already confused...Haha, so we walked to the square, and I saw that the guys where sitting at a table and there was the pieces of cakes that we bought with candles lit up on them..they got up when they saw me and sang happy birthday..

Haha..it was such a nice surprise..i mean, besides my friend Nadiah..I just met the rest of them the day before..and here they were celebrating my birthday with me..it was soooo sweet of them (tears~)..

and besides my lovely friends, my awesome bf also surprised me with an entry from his blog where he posted these pictures:

Awww! im the luckiest girl in the world! thank you baby! love you sooooo much even though we're 10000 miles away~ (sob sob)

I feel so fortunate and blessed..Alhamdulillah for all the love from my friends and family..love you guys so much too! =)

Hi guys~ I'm at the airport..waiting for my flight to California! well...not exactly, I have to transfer in Charlotte, North Carolina first..It'll be a long flight..(8 hours)..i'm not sure if I'll have time to update my blog this week because I'll be staying with a friend near LA for 6 days..The plan is to go to San Diego and San Francisco..can't wait! Till then, take care everyone..

Cam whoring is a must when you have free time and there is a full sized mirror in the bathroom! =)

Hi guys! I have to be quick with this post..i was looking at haute couture dresses and i fell in love with ElieSaab's collection (fall winter 2012-2013) ..owh my god...i love love love them! then I went to a few websites and saw that the prices were waaaay over what I thought they were gonna be...T_T..i guess i was in denial, I mean I knew they were going to be expensive but I kinda hope I could at least afford one. Owh yeah, I looked into these dresses not for normal wear but for potential wedding dresses. You'd be crazy to think I would want to buy haute couture for normal events. My dad does not own a multi million company and we do not live in a mansion! Haha..take a look at these beautiful dresses...The colours he uses and the details of his designs are amazing~

For the full outstanding fashion show..you guys can go to his website here...

Why can't money grow on trees or fall from the sky???=(

Hi people! Joyce and I had a lunch date on Sunday..and when I looked outside here's what I found:

You can't really see it in the pictures but the snow was falling pretty heavily..I almost didn't wanna go out..Said to Joyce 'Joyce, it's snowing pretty heavy do you still wanna go out for lunch?'...

She answered 'Yeah sure, and this does not count as heavy snow'...

T_T

Its not? Seriously? Owh man..i guess it's gonna get worse..right now the snow is about 3 inches thick..i 've heard that it could reach up to 8-11 inches..just imagine with each step you take your feet goes deep into the snow..

I tried to embrace the snow yesterday..i was walking home from gym (yes even though its cold and snowing i dragged myself to the gym which is a 15 minute walk from home, 'pat on back')..i was in the parking lot behind my apartment (in the first picture)...and the snow looked so white, pure and beautiful..so i opened my leather gloves, and scooped up some snow..

'shit..so cold..okay I'm done with experiencing winter god please let it be spring tomorrow!'

haha..yeah..i am a big baby when it comes to the cold...and to think I choose a uni located in the northeast of US where winters last the longest compared to other parts of the states..=(

doesn't fall look a lot more lovely and most importantly..warmer? haha..till then..take care guys! =)

P/S: my conscience says 'ish izza, you should bersyukur dpt rase salji ok..tk payah nk complain2..'

but it's cooooooooooold! =(

I am again...procrastinating in doing actual work..haha..;p

Uhh..i have no idea why I'm looking at wedding settings instead of looking for a summer internship...this is not good..haha..

well..you get bored of improving your resume & cover letter so many times, and also researching which companies offers both good salaries and an awesome working environment. so..you find yourself google-ing 'wedding settings' or 'wedding dresses'....i love weddings..everything is soooo pretty..and I think the best weddings are where your guests can feel the love in the air..and they also get absorbed in the happiness of the newlyweds and get that warm fuzzy feeling when they look at the couple..and some may reminisce the first time they fell in love..

In my culture, for a wedding you try to host a huge event and try to call everyone you know (usually the typical number of guests are 1000-2000 people)..personally, i would much prefer a wedding where only family and close friends attend..i would love that intimate feeling, and i'd be able to talk to all the guests and thank them for coming..gotta try to convince my dad about this~haha...anyways, i'm counting the days to see my bf again..being away from your loved ones for a couple of months is fine, but 15 months?=(

some romantic pictures of weddings i found that gave me smiles and that warm fuzzy feeling...=)
