When Kilafairy and I Meet in Perempuan Magazine this August

This post is meant to promote something that I am recently part of

*oh yes, I know this may sound very very innocent and non-self promoting haha*

Actually, this holiday has been quite a long one for me and I bet also for any other local uni degree undergrads. I've been trying to make myself occupied at all time yet not attached to any commitment whatsoever. So, what I did was making myself busy with TheCocoCloset, as you all can see in the previous post, and also do some chores at home. One thing that I've done differently this break is ummm... this! haha I've been invited to model for a workout section in Perempuan magazine. This may not be the first time my face has appeared in a magazine *not that I've been doing this much, not at all actually, only once in Dara.Com* but this one if a bit different because... WORKOUT! 

Does the word actually rhymes with my name or even my personality? haha Have to admit since school ended I've been a bit of a bimbo pretending not to do any sport at all, even catching a ball is like 'fuyooo' for my friends to see. No kidding, they actually think that I am that kind of girl who keeps her hand clean and all. Well maybe I've turned into that somehow, which is not something that I am proud of because it is just not cool to live an unhealthy lifestyle. And I bet some may not believe that I've represented school in track team, netball and tennis. I was once the captain of the netball team at school and was 'anak emas' for Cikgu Rozman for the track team along with Fathana Nadhirah and Azreen in Taman Tun school before. *brag brag brag*

Oh, anyway, this is really not my point. The point is... haha my friend Diana Ibrahim and Aqilah Hairan who were doing their internship there and working part time this holiday, had insisted that I help them out in completing some job they were assigned to. Oh yes, their job include interviewing celebrities, cool people, going to fashion show and make review about it, write articles for the magazine, do fashion shoot with local designers and models. and some other stuff. In short, their job is super awesome! 

I did followed them once, when they had to do a cover on Fatin Liyana Asri, the famous uprising blogger of our age. Yes, she is 22 years old, medical student, a model, a blogger, the sister of Maria Elena's boyfriend, a perfectly normal and sweet lady whom we often misjudge just because they are famous. I can assure you that she is not a snob, no diva, humble and very very very pretty in person. So, lesson learned. Never judge a book by its cover, well in this case, never judge a blogger by her ... ummm whatever your judging her from, look, writing, or whatever. So anyway, here are some pictures we took on the interview.

 Taken from Fatin Liyana's blog, so here we are from left : Diana Ibrahim *the writer*, Aqilah Hairan *the photographer*, the famous Fatin Liyana, and the last two are the 'penyibuk' me and lastly Rafeeza 

We thought that if Fatin Liyana didn't turn up, we might just do a story on Rafeeza. She's a wonder girl, and I am not joking. If I were to explain, it might take pages of blog post. In short, she's a superb debater, receiver of an award in UiTM for being Mahasiswa Cemerlang *can't recall the exact name of the award*, worked for the Health Ministry before, currently doing her part time job in a law firm, an active activist who fights for whatever damn right we have ie women's right, voting rights etc, a super duper awesome friend to Diana and I since we were back in Damansara Jaya school 

* yeap, where we spent our 'hingusan' days together being nerds and cool at the same time haha*

Wait, did I described her in short? Umm failed attempt I guess, she's too awesome.

So anyway...

Here is the article written by Diana Ibrahim on Fatin Liyana in the Ramadhan issue of Perempuan magazine in July

This month a new hottie is on the cover page. Kilafairy, the new actress who starred in Karak movie by KRU production. Got to admit, yes that was the first time ever I've ever came across this lady and I thought she was sexy in the movie. And her lips, oh my oh my. Just look at the picture, what more can I say. Though there were speculation on the lips and all, I dare not say it here. Not my place to speak and of course, me not wanting to be 'mama juwie' or whatever on this blog. It shall be clean from any gossip, umm I hope. But she is so hot! Doesn't she look lovely in this picture? I adore her! I know my friend, Chubby does too! Kan Chubby kan? hehe

 Here is the cover for August issue that I'm in, it has Kilafairy on it! *thrilled!*

Mia Edruce met her in person during ButtonMyButton's fashion show when her famous sister, Ain Edruce modeled for the Raya in the City Collection. She said Kilafairy was very nice. Isn't that true, Mia?

Ah, and this is Izd Jaafar, the writer for Perempuan magazine and also Diana and Aqi's very very good friend. He got really lucky even on the first day he started working. He gets to meet a hell lots of celebrities and famous people okay! On his first day, he met Khadijah Ibrahim  -.-  *tell me about it!*

Dude, pinjam your profile picture okay! I tahu u suka I blog pasal you haha *okay that's a joke*

So anyway, here comes the part where the not-famous-at-all babe came into the picture haha

It was a two-page spread workout tips on how to get a flat tummy!

Bahahahahahaha What a joke right! I told them that this was a bad idea because the model doesn't have a flat tummy! This is all lie lie lie! Haha I had to inhale for every snap *okay, alar takde lah teruk sangat! saje exaggerate je *

But you know, I'm telling you this tips do work if you are consistent and determine. Seriously, no jokes. I actually go home with aching muscle after this shoot okay! Not to forget I had 'nasi kandaq' with the crew after that haha so much of flat tummy or what not huh

One of my favorite shot. It is the superman shot! Weeeee!

Hey, this is one freaking hard move to be shot okay, How long do you think you can stay that way to get the perfect shot for the article? Sakit tau! So please do appreciate my effort to let you people have a super flat tummy this Raya, go and get a copy of Perempuan magazine for August issue! It's Raya Special. 

And there's Kilafairy and I in it! haha *okay, not funny. umm go and buy it*

And do wait up for September issue too. Guess who is in it again?! 

See you people! Toodlessss!

*working out for next month!*

Behind the Scene of Beauties of the Garden

Final year of BLS has been quite a hectic one for me. Well, a lot had happened that made me quite inactive in TheCocoCloset. But now, we're back with brand new image for the blog. Im hoping that it will give a fresh new start to TheCocoCloset. I was thinking of a garden theme for the new collection. So I asked my best girl friends to do me this big favour to come out with the project. Thank God I have such great girl friends around me to help me out and the great thing is they were actually excited about it too

Managed to get them to agree to this, so here are the list of my models

Fyqa Maarof

Diana Ibrahim

Samiah Edruce 

Aainaa Syaiirah

and Khalis Manap

The best thing is I have this good friend of mine, Aqilah Hairan who is doing a degree on photography in UiTM Shah Alam and she is actually a freelance photographer too who does a lot of photography work for wedding and those kind of things. Plus, she just ended her internship period with Perempuan magazine and quite free at the moment or even if she's not free, I guess she made time for me *heeee*. Knowing her great talent and awesome awesome art work, I decided to invite her over to help me out and she AGREED! yeay!

Not just that, Kak Asni also agreed to sponsor our photoshoot with delicacies from her CuteBites. So, the awesome-ness doesn't stop just there when my friends agreed to this and Kak Asni wanting to serve us with cupcakes, macaroons, cheese tarts and all, but my childhood good friend, Ameera Mastura accepted my invitation to make her debut of BisouBisou Headbands. Man, I'm telling you, this babe really got the talent! She is able to make the headbands just like the famous Sereni & Shentel and some even better! So as I honestly believed in her talent, we agreed to collaborate for the photoshoot.

Here are some pictures behind the scene of the photoshoot =)

Then, later on we had lunch at my house. Thanks to my pretty Mother and Kak Asni who made the delicious chicken soup and bread, spaghetti, wedges, fried rice and some other stuff. Abbas Munir came over too since he was around the area at the moment. He was supposed to be on the road back to Kuantan but since he *bangun lewat kannnn* and good thing, we get to gather, though it was unplanned

Silent Killer

There are words that you wish you never heard

There are words that you wish you haven't said

It's impossible

It will never happen

This, I'm telling you, it's too far reaching

The most impossible thing in the world

How we wished it never happened

But it did.

You watched my life from the corner

It hurts you over and over again

I guess you can't help me, not even this time

And I can't help to ease your pain

Will this be the silent killer of our time?

My Baby Baby =)

Haaaaa this is the new header for TheCocoCloset

Got bored of the blog so often

That why I always want to make changes on it

The thing is I've been soooo busy with studies lately

I have not been paying much attention to my own blogshop

Cause it need so much commitment

Plus, the project paper is killing this semester!

*ergh I can't even believe I mention the word 'Project Paper' *

Almost feel like vomiting! Uwek!!

Anyway, do drop by my blogshop if you have the time

I'll be updating it at 8 pm tonight

Heeeee...

Here are the teaser for tonight's update =)

Simply Can't Live Without

*and Jeffri*

*and Nik Muiz*

Even though we've changed

And we're all findings our own place in the world,

We all know that when the tears fall

Or the smile spreads across our face,

We'll come to each other because

No matter where this crazy world takes us,

Nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends

Truly great friends are hard to find,

Difficult to leave,

And impossible to forget

Snap Out of It!

I'm smiling again today... alone

I don't know what is up with me

Am I delusional or something?

I don't think anyone can tell what is wrong (or right) with me

Listen to this, listen to that

Sometimes you might just get dizzy and confused again

So, I listen to one... my heart

It made me smile

Going through the photos and comments

Damn that's hilarious!

Laughed alone in the corner of the house

Then click exit!

Now back to reality,

Kak Asni is waiting for me to help her in the kitchen

One thing that never change about life. It goes on.

Thanks for quoting that =)

Random Awesome

It just stuck in my head and attached very much to my lips at the moment

Yeah, weird at the time like this

I don't really know why I feel so connected to this song

I just feel like I can really relate to it

(Or maybe I know why, just don't want to admit it)

If only I've listen to it earlier,

I would have shared it ... =)

These are the verses that I know by heart in a day

"It all began with a simple confession
You had an urge to kiss me and
I was on the verge to miss you
And then it happen,
No
We didn't understand
No
I won't even budge
Before we didn't hang out much
So save me in your playlist
So you wont forget this
When things don't quite go your way
You'll still have me on replay

With your checkered shirt on
And my Reebok shoes on
Let's watch something random
Turned into something awesome

And I smile a lot now
A lot happier somehow
No I don't know what is up with me
I laugh too much recently
No, They don't know much about us
When we're exchanging glances
They'll figure out one day,
What happened on your 24th birthday"

(except nothing happened on your 24th birthday cause you not even 24 haha)

Hmmm...

I don't hate, hatred is never really in me anymore

I mean last time like 2 - 3 years ago, I used to hold grudges

I keep it very very nicely and neatly in my heart not show much of it

But then it all changes,

I learned to forgive and be more open-minded about things

Happiness happened, as simple as that

I see things and people that I don't actually favour, differently

I don't really know if right now I'm suppose to feel negatively

But somehow I don't hate

I will never hate

I had the time to think and I think wisely

Patiently, as a friend once told me

"Ain, I believe that great things happen to those who wait"

I cried, and I cried, and I cried

I somehow believed in it

I really don't know what it is

But I'm in no rush, because only time will tell

This thing in my head keeps flashing back on the good times I had

It made me smile and later made me cry

I'm not the type that cries a lot, I honestly believe that

But somehow this time I cry and cry and cry and then I think

How badly we want things in our lives to be normal and calm again

We just have to deal with it

And so I'm dealing... with very much patient

I don't know what will happen, I honestly don't

But I'm just being me... optimistic

I still remember

Each and every single thing that happened

I hold on tightly to it,

But it won't damage me

Because I'm just being me... realistic

Listen to this song : Random Awesome by Yuna Zarai

It's Vague

Things in life is never too real and never too fake

Sometimes, you believed it to be so real that you forgot what reality is really like

Sometimes, you think that it is too fake and later you find some truth in it

Fairy tales are not liars nor are they believers

It's there to give us hope that no other person can give

For you to find that happiness, there's always things that may get in your way

But never ever look down on yourself

Look up, look up

We should be thankful that it is not the end of the world

There's chances that we need to take

There's hope that need its believer

There's kindness that need to be unleashed

And certainly there's nothing wrong with you

Because maybe we are still at the edge of confusion

There is a quote saying

"You cannot always wait for the perfect time,

sometimes you must dare to jump"

What is the perfect time and what is not?

Does perfect means that particular time,

And later we may let ourselves retreat?

It's vague, very vague that sometimes you jump and you don't know whether its suicide

And if it is suicide, you don't know whether you'll end up in heaven or hell

People always say you should be in hell first,

But what happens if you find that you actually in heaven first?

Have you been such a good person that you deserve the happiness upfront?

I never give up in faith

I do not think I have failed

I do not think we have failed

It needs to be clear, as crystal clear

For us to move forward and find ourselves

We just need to have faith and not turn ourselves against the world

Let's just face it
