VIVY YUSOF OVERSHADOWED EVERYONE!

KLFW is really a big thing for fashion lovers,

and that excludes me!

But this year, it's different.

I'm still not into fashion, but I'm willing to acknowledge

our local designers, well thanks to FashionValet!

I was coincidentally staying 

in KL for one night, during

KLFW16, and since my hotel

was just a walking-distance from Pavilion,

so I decided, why not?

My initial plan was to visit the duck store and

bought myself a few scarfs cause

I had been to FashionValet store in Bangsar Village II,

and I hardly found any of my perfect scarf.

Duck store has so many promising stuff,

it did offer me a lot during my visit.

I accidentally bought three scarves when I only wanted to buy

one.

Sorry for being such a girl, lol.

The trick here is to go to the store at noon,

cause they're gonna restock their scarves by then

and mine were all 'freshly baked'

and I got to witness them, doing the ribbon perfectly.

The first time I went to the store, I bought only one scarf.

Then this wonderful lady, she's super pretty, working at the duck store

told me about the trick. So, that's how I know this and it's good to share to

all the duckies and soon-to-be ones!

I am not an authentic duckie tbh, I'm just a beginner.

I've known so many duckies out there,

and my money in the bank cannot keep up to their standard lol.

Oh so, I went to Pavilion with Adeeda (the true duckie) and my sister, Ina.

After our first visit to the duck store,

we went to the centre of pavilion,

on the 2nd floor to witness the empty stage of KLFW.

Then we stalked Vivy Yusof and Iman from the top.

Five minutes later,

they made their way out of the KLFW area,

and so we followed the trail.

My sister saw them almost walking out of Pavilion,

when we were still on the escalator.

Only God knows why am I dying to meet the VIVY YUSOF!

So in high heels,

I ran!

And approached her myself!

I couldn't feel my leg,

the experience is surreal, man!

She noticed the duck paperbags,

I couldn't say things properly,

I was just mesmerized by her beauty

and Adeeda was wearing the same exact duck as Vivy

and we took pictures, even with Iman too!

Iman took great pictures! Vivy took our picture with Iman,

they're very friendly, sincere.

they are not faking it!

Gosh!

Then we were so excited about it, so we acted back the incident

and had our brunch at the DC cafe

and 

we went to the store for the second time!

And this time, 

I got myself 2 ducks!!

RIP Money!!

But never mind,

post Vivy retreating session.

My mum called me five seconds after that, cause we had to check out and stuff,

but I had to meet Edda, Aida and Pusya afterwards, so

we had to rush to the hotel

and bammmm

I met Vivy again!

But this time, we're walking to different directions.

and she seemed to be busy and I didn't wanna look

like a psycho fan,

so I kept it low lol

After my meeting with friends,

my mom, Ina and I walked back to Pavilion

cause I wanted to show Mama the store

and almost grabbed another duck

but the Minister of Finance didn't seem to approve it,

so I had to put my box down

and we witnessed the KLFW'16.

I saw bunch or celebrities including Fazura,

and my mum was super excited about it.

She always feels like Fazura and I, we share the same pink DNA.

You know what I mean :P

But she's busy and I didn't feel like

meeting other celebrities

cause

tbh,

meeting Vivy Yusof meant the world to me!

So that's how I came up with the blog title.

The end.

Support System | Vivy Yusof

I read this post and I cried a bit,

especially at the last part of the post.

It's so mainstream to adore this lady,

but I really do.

Vivy Yusof.

She's the big name in Malaysia fashion industry 

and her family is great,

she's living the life that most of the people would ever dream of,

I ever dream of.

When she's having her own reality show,

I am so happy and I really wanna watch it,

so I ask my mum to record that for me.

I still remember my dream of becoming a tv host.

I wanna host a show like Primadona,

and I can partner up with Edda and Azura.

Idk how it came, but I just want it.

I am a people person.

I just realized about this matter

after being part of the organizing committee for

Southeast Asia Festival in McGill last weekend.

I was the choreographer but I wasn't recorded in the video because

it was too zoomed-in.

I had to handle the food vendor department too

and had to deal with what they wanted for the event.

I also had to do a bit of marketing for this event,

and I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed making friends and meeting new people.

Networking, I like it.

Meeting people of different backgrounds, listening to their stories;

they're inspiring.

Did I choose the wrong major, I even questioned myself?

Nope, I just have other specialties that will be beneficial for my career.

I do believe in this.

I love being me,

I enjoy doing what I am doing.

Studying, traveling, photographing, dancing, cooking.

An engineer can do all of these.

Just because I am a future engineer, it doesn't mean I cannot be the artsy girl, right?

Back to Vivy Yusof's story.

Based on her story, 

I can see how important it is to have a support system.

Her family and her husband are the strongest support system she ever has.

No one is an island,

we always need people in our life.

I have made many friends when I come to McGill,

but I truly know who's my support system here.

My family + 1.

Even tho they're very far away from Canada, they're definitely my ultimate support system.

Why did I cry a bit while reading her post?

Because she mentioned about her grandmothers.

I miss my grandmas, both of them.

I am tok mak's favourite cucu,

I know.

(well, I don't genuinely know, but I like mentioning it :P)

I learn a lot from her.

She took care of me when my mum was at her office,

she would always cook my favourite food 

and she is always proud of me.

I know my success and happiness that I have today is partly because of her prayer.

Because I was so close to her, I even call her, mak.

Moms' prayers are the best.

I am not close to Nenek as much as I am close to tok mak,

but don't limit my love.

She likes cooking for me too!

Her masak lomak is the best! And sambal belancan.

I always feel that grandparents-grandchildren relationship is great

because it's the chance for grandparents to amend their relationships 

with their daughters/sons.

I always pray to Allah,

for Him to take care of the people I love.

So I can meet them again when I go back to Malaysia this summer.

 A little emotional here.

But it's a bit of motivation for me to keep striving for my best here.

Good job, Vivy Yusof for your great achievement in life.

Keep inspiring people!

xo,

Aliah
