The Cookies, The Camera and My Adorable Mum

As you all would've known, that's my mum ! (and yes you can obviously see how 'obsessed' I am about my parents with the amount of posts I've dedicated to them hehehe). But this is kinda a different kind of post though. 

So, you know, I've stocked up pictures and took many shots of our cookies before I left to study back in the UK. 

And as you would've expected, I'm starting to run out of pictures and our cookies have been progressing that we needed new pictures to update our lovely customers ! 

Beyond that, mum had this great idea to put all 3 types of cookies into a gift box for people to give to others for birthdays, weddings etc which is super awesome ! And she passed me the pictures for me to edit.... (Note that my mum do take great pictures just maybe today was just not her day hehe, love you ma)

Anyways, she sent me a picture from inside the house, which I thought was taken at a great angle (speaking as if my photography skills are like a pro)... but the lighting was bad in the house

So, told mum, 'Maaaa, can you please take picture outside? The lighting is better outside'. Then she went like, 'Hujan la'. (Oh yes, I forgot that we were thousands of miles away from each other to know that KL was raining haha) But she still managed to take a few pictures at the patio, which had pretty decent lighting ! 

Not bad riight ? But I wanted to post a picture from a side angle, like how she took the picture on top (well, sorta). And I wasn't sure how to tell her the angle of the box that I wanted so I took a picture of a box that was in my room and asked her to take a shot with the same angle ....

(Haaah, can't see you the lengths we go through for product pictures ? Haha)

But this time, I was the 'dumb' one cause I forgot our box had a 'window'. So....

Me : Oh maaaa ! I forgot that our box had a 'window'. Can you please take a picture again but with the box standing ? Hehehe

Mum : EISHAAAAAAAAAA !

*although we were only whatsapping, I could imagine her shouting my name across our hallway at home already hahaha*

And yes, as you have guessed it right, my mum isn't a huge fan of doing this haha ! Which makes me appreciate more whenever she tries to do so for our cookies :) 

Oh, and it means a lot whenever she types more than her usual 'ok'. So, when mum types, 'Eishaaaaa', you know she really meant it well hahaha

But she still did it anyways.... 

Which was too senget for me to edit so yeahhh. I liked the angle from the first box, really. But I didn't want to kacau my mum with my perfectionist needs for a better picture so I found a way around things...

I whatsapped my brother asking for his help to take more pictures of the box with the cookies and soon-to-be-bought ribbons ! Hahaha. Thanks abang for volunteering to help take pictures from home :) I bet you enjoyed hearing how me and mama were trying to figure the pictures out hehe

Anyways, let's just maybe finish this post off with my mum's pictures which were pretty legit ! 

Our cookies at Meteora Cafe, Subang Jaya

But I guess yesterday was just not her 'good photography day'. You know, like 'bad hair day', 'bad hijab day' and stuff. Hehehe. 

Sorry ma, just had to write this post of our rather 'cute' experience as a memory for both of us to always remember. Hehehe. Love you ma :) 

Cheers to my adorable mum and our many attempts (and still counting) ! *giggles*

INTERVENTION

Aite guys, after contemplating for many months and procrastinating, I've decided that I shall go through an INTERVENTION !

No, I don't intend to change my wardrobe completely or change my personality as a whole and stuff. But its time ! That I'm 21 now and that I should try to be more 'on point' in life, perfecting what I can with no frets :)

But let's be honest, I should probably start with looking less selekeh when I go out to class first haha. Although, I will still go by my own principle on not wearing make up everyday to class to feel more secure or better off with myself. Not like I have anything against make ups but I just am trying not to depend on it to make myself feel good about myself. Oh ! And I still do enjoy my travels with a backpack rather than having a luggage just to carry more than one pair of shoes or too many clothes unnecessarily.

Well, I still haven't yet figured out completely on how much am I planning or willing to go through for this 'intervention' cause I'm pretty sure I still have my lazy days (which makes me wonder if celebrities or 'famous people' ever get lazy to dress up at all haha).

And I guess I'm not just referring to emphasizing more on appearances, but generally just 'embracing the good and leaving the bad' which has to start mostly with reducing the amount of 'lazy days' I excuse myself with weekly, and being more productive ! (Like jog more, read more, educate myself more and stuff...haha)

Okay, I think that's it, really. Less talk, more action ;)

A Beautiful Sunday Morning

Its rare that you get a sunny day in the UK especially when its approaching winter. But it was definitely a beautiful sunny Sunday ! I usually don't post much about how my day went but I guess its not such a bad idea once in a while ? :)

Anyways, the Malaysian Society organized a Traditional Games Day Out. The guys were playing galah panjang and baling selipar (although failed many times due to the utter windy weather!) and the girls as usual, ended up playing with the the Post Graduates' kids !

And I found the kid I loved layaning the most, Akhta ! He was going all imaginary with the creative games he invented just for us to play with which I find it to be super adorable. I just love kids who use their creativity to play games outside and interact rather than play their iPads in the sun.... hmmm. 

Anyways, they were selling roti jala and nasi lemak which were all so sedaaaaap! The wind actually smelled like Malaysia again hehehe. Then we took some good shots under the sun. Just had to post this picture with my Subang babe, Farah, since '09 though :)

It was definitely one of the best Sunday mornings I've ever had since I've been here. A Sunday morning to be remembered :)
