Ladies & Moustache

Some people might think that it's a little bit funny; a woman with moustache.Why so some women have moustache? I bet these are some of the answers.For some women, their moustaches are too obvious too see but some women are lucky; they don't have any hair on their upper lip. As for me, I have a little bit moustache but not the same as the picture below.LOL.


There are certain techniques that I've used to remove it.

1. Threading - I did it during my preparation for my big day. I did all over my face (except eyebrows of course) The result is fantastic! Your face will look bright and flawless especially when you apply foundation/make up. Threading can be quite painful.(especially kat bahagian hujung2 pipi.Ouchhh!)

2.Plucking - This is the most hated technique. I'll feel almost to sneeze.Pastu lembab nak tunggu cabut satu persatu.Takkan nak cabut sekali 8?Oucch! I rarely pluck my 'moustache', unless if my husband offers his help.LOL.

3.Using facial hair removal cream - I used Nair Cream Hair Removal. You just need to apply the cream on your upper lip and leave it for about 7 minutes.(refer the instructions) and wipe it with a tissue.You'll see the immediate result. I love to use the cream but unfortunately my younger brother stole it from me!Lupa nak amik balik!

4. Waxing - My husband always suggests me to to wax it but I'm quite afraid to do so. Now I think I should give a try so yesterday I bought Nair Easiwax at Priceline.Hopefully the result will be satisfying.

P/S - Don't use a shaver!

My name is..


This is what happen when you put your child's name too long.;p (Kat negara omputih jela kot.) Sometimes they put my name as Noor Sharudin.LOL.(My dad will accidentally think that the letter is his if he were here.)

Besides,some people here can't pronounce my name correctly.(Padahal kat Malaysia my name is one of the common names) For my convenience & others too, I prefer to introduce myself as Hida.(dengar international sikit.;p ) Sakit telinga dengar orang salah sebut nama kita bila sebut nama penuh2.


"So your name is Hida.Do you know that in English we have Hilda as a girl's name?"
"Yes, I know that."

Based on my own experience, I think I'll put my child's name short, simple, meaningful and 'sounds international'.Padahal nama yang saya suka tu panjang & kurang 'international'

Anyway, I'm sure that there are a lot of issues about people's name which is you or people around you might as well face it.(similar name, wrong spelling, wrong pronunciation, being humiliated, etc ):)

Ramadhan Progress

Hi everyone,
How's your Ramadhan so far?saya baru nak masuk juzuk 2 dah raya.;p Thanks Allah for giving me strength to wake up early (without fail,harapnya sampai ke hujung Ramadhan..eh2 sampai bila2.;p) ,prepare for sahur & wake him up.

Sini siang makin panjang,maknanya waktu imsak makin awal dan waktu berbuka makin lambat.Dengan itu makin nak raya, waktu kena berpuasa semakin lama.:'(But still, Ramadhan kali ini winter,alhamdulillah.:)

I bet kat Malaysia dah start pasang lagu raya (ke belum?) I have no feeling for Hari Raya (yet), since the environment here is just as same as non-fasting month.(except if you go to Tarawih prayer at mosque.)Masya-allah, kagum luasnya Islam macam2 warna kulit,bangsa,bahasa,gaya tudung ada, feels like having a prayer at UIA.hehe.

-went to any shopping mall or supermarket jumpa sana sini orang makan.
-turn on the tv takde iklan nak bukak puasa or rancangan buat kuih raya.
-bazar ramadhan?nak shopping baju raya macam kat jalan TAR?sila jangan berangan!semalam 1st day jumpa kurma kat sini rasa macam nak nangis.;p
-tension bukak fb berlambak tag baju/kuih raya.
-kad raya?takde dijual di supermarket or mana2.(maaflah tak dapat nak bagi.)buat sendiri,malas.;p

Btw,it has been a looong time since I played on Polyvore (even log in to my Polyvore's account!) This is my set for last year's Ramadhan.



and..remember this awesome abaya that I've bought last year from Miss Abaya?Cis, tak kuasalah orang nak ingat!



I've never worn it!pakailah raya nanti.tehee.

G'day, mate!

Random things about my life in Adelaide:

1. I take a shower once a day in the morning/afternoon (during winter)*Tak busuk ok!Sebab tak peluh pon.

2. I rarely drive since I needed to learn how to drive an auto car.and it's a wagon!My first time driving auto was Wani's car.*Reti bawak tapi kekok.Hopefully balik Msia nanti kaki kiri saya masih 'hidup'.

3. I take too much time on grocery shopping even I've made a shopping list.*Untuk pastikan 100% confirm HALAL.:)Habis semua brand dibelek.

4. You know how much I love cats?Cats are nowhere to be seen here.:(*Kat tepi jalan nak pegang/tenyeh/kutip memang takde.Nak pergi beli dekat Pet Shop or ebay (exaggerate)

5. Lotions, moisturizer and lip balm are my best friends.My skin and lips will become rough without them.

6. I don't watch Aussie news but at least I know who Julia Gillard is.;p Ok.I read Yahoo Australia news and I watched Dancing With The Stars (kat Malaysia versi Sehati Berdansa) yesterday.

7. I found that Athan software is very useful.

8. I always bring my reusable shopping bag since you won't get any free plastic bag while shopping here.*Except sesetengah barang basah.

9. Milo/nescafe are not as tasteful as in Msia.*Even nampak sama je packaging.Lain rasanya.Telan sajalah lama2 sedap aje.;p

10. It's so hard to find hot chilli sauce here.(Macam sos Life kat Msia.Ke sini memang takde?)You can only find sweet chilli sauce.Nasib baiklah lidah saya suka sos ala thai

11. I've learned how to be familiar with this thing:


Kalau kat Msia dulu sanggup tahan *** nak cari toilet cangkung.;p


P/S - G'day, mate: Aussie slang for Hello, friend!~~

4 Ramadhan berbeza

*Edited from 3 Ramadhan berbeza from my previous blog. I wrote it to make sure that I won't forget all those special moments with all special persons in my life.


Ramadhan 2007

Masa ni zaman praktikal kat PETT.Best puasa masa ni sebabnya balik rumah awal,pukul 4 ke 4.30 entah lupa pulak.Kat office orang sibuk jual biskut raya, mercun pon ada.LOL.Besh2 discover tempat2 berbuka termasuk Restoran Nelayan.
Hmm..KLCC suasana puasa/raya best ok.Ttiba rindu.Sahur kat rumah pulak,paham2 jela camne.Seronok hari2 mak kejutkan dengan makanan semua dah siap.Isk.Saya rindu mak!:'(Saya harap saya boleh jadi kuat macam emak.Bangun awal,siapkan makanan & kejutkan anak2 dengan sabar.


Ramadhan 2008

Last puasa kat UTP.Kat UTP, sahur makan Twiggies dengan minum Nescafe tu macam menu wajib.Tu pon kadang2 sahur pukul 5 sambil tutup mata.Time nak buka puasa memang best.Pegi bazar sana sini sampai ke Batu Gajah saya,CikExRumet ngan Ct mencari makanan.Seperti biasa,saya selalu mencari Air Keladi or Air Katira.Berbuka depan PC sambil menonton cerita kegemaran atau main game memang sangat HEAVEN!!!Ni yang buat saya sangat rindu UTP..Isk.


Ramadhan 2009

Zaman last puasa sebagai bujang.;p Zaman kerja & zaman yang akan mungkin akan terus saya rindu.:'(Sometimes berbuka di rumah,sometimes saya buka kat Staff Room je dengan kawan2.Even sounds pathetic tapi seronok & meriah.Even break 40minit time tula nak makan,time tula nak rush pergi Maghrib kat surau Jusco yang kecik itu tapi tetap best.:)Break petang pergi ke Bazar depan Jusco yang meriah tu bersama kawan2 yang lain.Habis tudung berbau asap ayam percik.Seperti biasa saya yang kuat makan beli macam2.LOL.Kalau shift pagi & berpeluang berbuka kat rumah pon saya tetap pegi bazar untuk membeli menu kegemaran untuk orang2 kat rumah.Menu paling selalu: roti John dan tepung pelita.


Ramadhan 2010

First time puasa as a wife!:),first time puasa kat oversea. first time puasa tanpa emak kejut pagi2.:'(Belum pon puasa saya dah pokpek teringin macam2 kat makanan Malaysia.Camna ni?:'((Cis, orang sibuk fikir nak lebihkan ibadah, saya pulak sibuk teringat makanan.;p) Doakan saya tabah dan tetap happy seperti Ramadhan yang lepas dan juga lebih rajin beribadah. Saya juga nak melalui Ramadhan kali ni dengan riang gembira sebab ia mungkin bakal menjadi Ramadhan yang sentiasa saya ingat dan rindu.:)


SELAMAT BERPUASA!!!~~~~~~~~~~~


P/S - Saya tak beli langsung baju dan tudung raya untuk tahun ini ye.1 kejayaan di situ:)

Kampung Night 2010

My husband and I went to a dinner event which is called 'Kampung Night 2010'. It is jointly organized by MASCA SA (Malaysian Students' Council of Australia,South Australia), UMNO SA and MySA to celebrate Malaysia's 53rd year of independence.I was so excited to see other Malaysians and it felt like being in my own beloved country.:)


The ticket price is $40 for a student.


The dress code for the night is 'Orang Kampung' or traditional.I didn't have any special attire to match the dress code.:( I only have a pair of baju kurung here and the rest are jubah)!Therefore, I just wore my nikah jubah!(to match the dress code and my husband's baju melayu!LOL)


We sat at Table A (which is quite near to the stage) along with my husband's friends (Their wives are my friends too.) Btw, we've planned to be seated together.;p


There were performances like joget, dikir barat etc but what attracts me most was the food!;p (The lucky draw too, maybe, but I didn't win any.Isk.)

Ok,let's see the food.(All food are catered by San Giorgio and they were HALAL.)
