If you have read my earlier post entitled ‘
Mr Perfect 10?’, you would have known that Hubster was made one of Glam’s Most Stylish Men of 2013. He was then invited to Glam’s Most Glam Most Stylish Award night at Aloft Kuala Lumpur. Being such a sweetheart, he asked them whether he could bring a Plus 1 so that he can take me along. And being such a supportive wife *flips hair*, I was there to accompany him. Haha! Owh well, I deserve some credits ok. After all, behind every great man is an even greater woman. It was my first time going to such an event that I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pretty excited to dress up for the event. Unfortunately, my post pregnancy body made it pretty difficult for me to rock any outfit. Most of the outfit shows how out of shape I am. In the end, I decided to wear a non-figure-flattering red dress from Dorothy Perkins, my mom’s gold evening bag and my Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Hubster has always been a very punctual person. He was very determined to arrive there in time. I on the other hand, tried to delay him. “We’re in Malaysia, plus it’s a fashion event. All the more reason to be fashionably late”, I told him. He then replied me, “No, we are not going to be late because I’m not a celebrity”. Ok, fine. I tried my best to get ready as soon as I could. Being a mom, there’s a lot to adjust. That day would be the first time I left my baby for more than 10 hours. Most of my time spent calling to check how Zara was doing. Also, that would be the first time I left Zara at night when she is so used to me being around when it’s dark. It was also a Friday night. With the new contract expansion, it was impossible for me to leave much earlier. After going through the traffic, feeling fatigue and nervous, I managed to get ready in time and we arrived at 8pm sharp.
As much as I guessed, the event did start late. The guest arrived much later. After all, what’s a fashion event without being fashionably late? People there were very much fashion forward and I could tell that Malaysians may not be so affected by the downfall of the economy. With one glance, I would tell that they were wearing the latest designer fashion trends. I spotted more than 2 person wearing the Lego Chanel clutch! From Valentino studded shoes to metallic silver Dior Bag, it was as if they just came out from a fashion magazine or it was like we were absorbed in a magazine. Gosh! I was pretty much at awe but tried my best to remain cool when truth is, I was checking out what they were wearing going “OMG! That’s in my wishlist!” or “OMG! That’s such a pretty pair of shoes!”. Secretly, I was wishing that I could score those item as I grinned at Hubster hoping that he’ll get me something new real soon. LOL!
I felt a little alienated surrounded by all these socialites. I recognized a few high profile faces such as Mia (she was Hana’s friend), the Mimpikita girls (made a few clothes with them but I doubt Nurul remembers me), Nora Khalid (she’s actually a family friend but I’m more familiar with her sister, Kak Emma and brother, Azlan), Adila Long (I follow her on Instagram-Love Love Love her songket clutch) and the list goes on. Celebrities like Marsha Milan, Amy Search, Umie Aida (my god! She has the tiniest waist and looks amazingly hot!) and Andeng were there too.

There were times when I felt as if I was a polar bear stuck in a big city. Then I met 2 familiar faces, Arene and Kak Fara.
I’m always a little intimidated when I meet Kak Fara. It is more like a Star Struck kinda thing. I’ve always idolized her ever since I was small. She’s like super cool with her cool outfits, listened to cool songs, went to concerts in Singapore, she has a pretty face, warm personality and cool achievements. My brains sometime go blank when I see her. Every time we meet, I had to remind myself that “hey! She’s a family friend and we’ve known each other since I was only 4 years old”. Only after that I can talk to her like normal. LOL! Anyway, she looked incredibly gorgeous that night. Mother of 1, she amazed me with the ability to look presentable always.

Being ordinary from an average background, both Hubster and I did what ordinary people do at any event, which is checking out the food. We were pretty disappointed that there were only finger foods and nasi lemak in a small pack. No wonder those in the fashion line were able to maintain such a tiny figure even after going to so many events. The portions served were very small. Even Bront Palarae agreed with us. He told Hubster “Makanan mcm bukan makanan pon” when they were up on stage. LOL! Btw, I must add that Bront Palarae looked dashing that night! *Jawdropped* -I’m married with a child-I’m married with a child- I’m married with a child. Hahahahahah!!!!! Don’t worry sayang, you are still my Mr Perfect 10!
It is always great to see a familiar face in a totally new environment but it is even better when that someone can make you feel right at home. I was lucky Arene was around. Knowing that we didn’t know anyone else there, she asked me to hang with her when Hubster was busy on stage and what not. Thank you so much Arene! It was very sweet of you! FYI, Arene is one of the designers of Innaired. She makes the utmost pretty clothes that will make you feel like a princess! If you are looking for something to wear for a special occasion, head to their office in Damas. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Going to events like these is one of my many attempts to ensure that my life will not be to consumed by my role as a mother. Of course, being a mother is my number 1 priority but I do not want to lose myself (personality and interest) just because I am not a mother. There’s always a first time for everything, I’m glad that I get to share my first experience to an event like this with Hubster and to make it even more memorable, it was in celebration of Hubster being one of the most stylish.

| After an eventful night, the first thing hubster did when he reached home was play with this little princess. Looking at this scene just melts my heart. It's just like falling in love all over again. :) |
