I shall now admit that it was my first birthday party ever. However, it was not a surprise birthday party because I helped in planning it. My OCD/perfectionist event planning came out. Hehe.

So here's what happened on the day: After buying the ingredients for the meal, Adlin and I went to pick up four boxes of dessert that I ordered from La Dent Sucree: Vanilla cream puffs, Nutella cream puffs, salted caramel brownies and my personal favourite, Nutella Oreo brownies. It was delicious! After I sent Adlin to class, I headed to Plaza Damas with Qila. We went to do our nails.

Last night’s event marked the start of a mega series of 12 fashion shows featuring 61 designers from 15 countries and I am thankful to have been able to witness it.

This year, the INTRADE exhibition at Menara MATRADE introduces a segment called FACIT (Fashion, Art, Cosmetics, Interiors and Textile). It is one of Malaysia Fashion Week’s special highlights to boost the lifestyle sector of the international trade event. It comprises of 412 booths with exhibitors from many countries.

I have been to MATRADE for exhibitions and bazaars countless of times but this is the first time I have seen it been decorated so beautifully.I was in awe with everything displayed in the exhibition. Everything was so beautiful. Here's a glimpse of the exhibition:

Straight after the engagement, my mother and I went in search for the perfect dress for the solemnization. We could picture it: All white and pure. And classic Malay baju kurung. I've always wanted to wear a baju kurung at the akad nikah as, to me, it portrays modesty and youth.
