Recently, i had a reader commented on my apparels and i feel shy. I’m so sorry for my dear Anis, it took me so long to reply her comment. And yes, i do feel shy. Because am not a fashion freak or even wear an up to date apparel pon. I wear what i like to wear n i feel comfortable in it. Bila ada org tegur terus rasa mcm aaaaaaaaaa *lari ke hulu ke hilir*

Anyway, as i’ve mentioned, yeap, all my baju currently come from my own blogshop (www.raynaa.my). I find it troublesome to go n search up n down the aisle for a plus size clothes and when i get to put my hand on it, it doesnt meet my needs. Especially with an obvious pear shape, mana ada special kedai nak buat design personally for me je kan. Plus, the clothes they offer usually singkat n tak menutupi punggung. As a muslim, i do care about how my clothes wud cover me up. Sebab tu i’ve decided to own my own online plus size boutique. Senang. Shopping untuk diri sendiri, dalam masa yg sama, stock up kedai. 2 in 1 job

I have started the shop for almost 2 1/2 years rasanya. During those years, it was acik zam n i, and we have baby clothing from aussie, kain cotton n lace. Even our shop name was funny (kedaipanas). Then i’ve expand it to plus size clothing. And by the time, acik zam had find a job and i had to handle everything by my own.

All stocks were dump in my room and i literally sleep on stocks! There are times that i need to stay up till 3am in the morning just to pack up parcels. The business was doing well but i was just short of hands. So i decided to put it on idle. Sayang mmg sayang. But seriously, tak terlarat nak buat sorang. Even sometimes, incikkaseh needs to come all the way from subang on alternate days just to help me packing.

By that time, i’ve already ventured in the Premium Beautiful business. Now now, i’m juggling 3 jobs at one time. Family business, kedaipanas was re branded to Raynaa, then Premium Beautiful. Pening. Serious pening. And for certain matters, i’m afraid to hire workers.

Tapi, bila berenti Raynaa, of course lah stock baju pun berhenti jugakkan? And for almost 7 months, i had no new clothes! (that i really satisfied with) I’ve tried flow, total woman, ms read, exotica, even buying from other online shops. Ada yang ok, tp ada yang well, too short, besar dekat bahu, kecik dekat punggung, mcm mcm lah!

So now, after everything is settled, Alhamdulillah, Raynaa is back on business and we had the official launch on 7th April 2012 at our own apartment-office. Jangan kata tak ajak, tu poster dekat entry bawah tu sebesar2 nya ok.

Now, Raynaa is not just about plus size. Its about me, what i love. So Raynaa has a korean sister, Kim Na Na (for korean merchandise. currently we have t-shirts n lanyards)

Alhamdulillah, the event went well and we had overload sugar rush!

Tq to Munirah. She is the best biz partner cum friend cum raynaa’s IT designer, cum penyusun kain lace. hehhehehhe She even got mad when she saw our Jubah’s collection sebab of course, we dont have it in her size!!!

**Note: Jubah collection will be in store next week =)

Kain lace tu pun dia bising2 because she is a bride-to-be and we never tell her that we have one whole box of fully beaded lace! (and at cheap price, of course).

**Note 2: Kain lace will be on sale in Raynaa next month! 

Kim Na Na's Collection

Of course, premium beautiful mana boleh tinggal =) This is the best shot i had for PB on that day. I was too bz to even take pictures of every corner.

The event ended with celebration of Naba’s Birthday and it’s not complete without having the Kerawang Girls around!

Even Ian Asadel visited aunty Farihah’s new office with a huge present followed! No, apparently that’s not his mom. Though they look almost alike =)

The kerawang girls + Yun; Raynaa’s model in blue checkered Tee. We stayed back until 230am in the morning for lace shooting! I am soooo thankful to have such a supporting group of friends. Die die they want to finish up the shooting on that night. I was lembik as sawi already and barely dragging my feet around. But with their motivations n supports, we did it!!!

Tq to everyone who have made it happen on 7th the other day and i am so sorry for the late updates.

Raynaa is now fully operated. The website is made specially for you, to shop anywhere at anytime, even at midnight! Payments are handle by our merchants; ipay88. We accept all banks including credit cards. Stocks are limited and automatic counted. So whatever you see is what u get. Kalau dah tulis out of stock in red tuh memang tak boleh nak add to cart lagi dah la ye. Sorry.

We offer free shipping all over Malaysia by Pos Laju.

So now, to those who were wondering, mana i beli baju, its from my own shop.  I wud be very happy to share them with you and if u cud send me some support by liking our new fan page in Facebook: Raynaa+KimNaNa

and happy shopping!!!

Thank you!!!

Hari ni kan… kita kannnn… pergi sini kannnnn

omggggg, rasa mcm nak pengsan. Almaklumlah. org kampung, jumpa org pames mmg mcm nih. Haku lah yg paling selebet. Dah le pepagi baru sampai opis, pekene nasik lemak, teh tarik (nyamannnnnnnnnnnn)…. tetiba dewi call..

“Farihah, jom Kak Salha ajak teman g Rizalman”

“………….”

“Helo, Farihah!”

*cricket moment”

“Helo, Heloooo!!!!”

“haaaaa,  ada ada… i baru sampai opis nih. dekat mana kedai dia?”

“Bukit bintang. Pergi sekali lah. i tunggu dekat rumah u”

“HAHHHHHHHHHHHH?” with a big fat O come from my mouth.

then the rest of the stories are histories. Dah ler boutique dia chantik gilerrrrrr, mewah gilerrr (of course lah kannnnn) dengan aku slamber pakai crocs siap ada jibbitz bunga bunga tak matching colour lagi. Org lain bukak kasut dekat dlm boutique, aku p sorok blakang pasu dekat pintu masuk. Nasib la i’ve decided to went back home n change my clothes. Kalau pakai baju pagi td, tshirt lycra nye, tudung syria nye, muka tak mekapnye, terus nanti org tanya

“Rizalman, bibiknya ni kapan sampey di Malaysia”

sudahhhhhhhhhhhh…….

Masa sampai tuh, Kak Salha tgh measure, Rizalman tgh duduk je tgk. Salam peluk cium Kak Salha, terussss Salam peluk cium Rizalman… wakakkakakak I wish! Nak mampos ko kene sebat dengan Pak ji???

I’ve started reading Rizalman’s blog for almost 3 years now kot. tapi sekarang dah jarang dia blogging kan? Even before knowing that he writes, i always admire his work. Berangan konon2 kang kawen nak pakai Rizalman lahhhh. Kononnnnnnn. Nak dia designkan lah kononnnnn, padahal td jumpa je dah kejung seribu bahasa. Tinggal tak tergolek je masa nak duduk. Tapi mcm ada dengar2 Rizalman tak buat baju untuk plus size. Jadi kita kuburkan je lah niat tu ye, selagi ko tak mcm beyonce, kau jangan berangan nak kawen farihah. hahahhaha sebab nak pakai baju Rizalman kannnn

Sekali tadi tanya PA dia, dia kata Rizalman buat je?

OWHHHHH…….

.

.

.

*guyang guyang buntutttttttt* aserehe hah reheyyyyy

Tapi untuk Diamond night ni tak kot. Nasib haku dah tempah baju awal awal. Kalau tak, ntah ntah i yg over kat situ kan uolllssss. Bukan boleh percaya farihah ni, tetiba terus bukak purse n ipad je kang..

” ok Rizalman, i nak design mcm ni mcm nih, berapa?” 

Kannnnnnn……

Anyway, it was a great experience for me. Xsangkalah dapat jumpa org prg mcm ni in person. Walaupun the real experience i was just standing, smile n being a fat pole over there. pfffffftttttttttt

Paling best, nak balik tu tetiba hujan lebat. So we borrowed an umbrella from the stand. Boleh tak dewi lupa nak pulangkan????? OMG malu nya sayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ye, payung Rizalman ada dlm kereta Dewi. Hopefully when she read this, she’ll remember to bring it back on the 18th during the fitting session. Kalau tak, malu haku okeh. Si perembat payung Rizalman!

I think i’m starting to love my job. Well, i always did. But this one is different.

For the past one week, it has been hectic for the @RaynaaCo team. We had sleepless nights, mountains of clothing to steam, measured, details taken and the list goes on.

We even came in the office looking like zombies.

And today was the peak (yes, we are whole bunch of losers working on Sundays :p) . We get an offer from one of the Kerawang Girls which is a couple of a super professional photographers from http://ariffaris.com/ to do products shoot. We were humbled with the offer despite the cold feet we get right after receiving the news. Professional ok, read that; P.R.O.F.E.S.S.I.O.N.A.L.  How can we not get nervous? Tak kira lah friends or not. Still.

The day start as early as 10, to get the make up done, playing dress up (i wish!) and the day went on smoothly until we call it a wrap at approximately 430pm.

On progress

watch and learn

Work done, its time for us to be in the frame. Tell me, how can i not love these gurls!

Super fun people

Thanx guys for being so fun to work with. U’ve made me appreciate what i have now even more. Penat pun tak terasa.

And i shall frame this and hang it in the office!

P/s:  Anyone interested to experience modelling plus size clothing, u may email me at lilred.farah@gmail.com

I had a sudden fever attack.

Runny nose. Non stop sneezing. Watery eyes. Not cool at all.

Still i dont stop working. hehheheheh I’ll be re-launching my online shop and GOD! How i have forgotten the work load!!! Plus, we are organizing an open day for the re-launched.

Headache.

Meanwhile, do enjoy this. I find it in facebook.

First we have this,

If that doesnt trigger ur adrenaline, watch this!!!!

I bet, u wud dance with joy by now, right??? hehehehhe. MasyaAllah, MasyaAllah, how i’ve missed everyone in the video!

Of course, we were all a bunch of crazy and super fun people to hang out with *ahem!*, but Kak Salha and Abg Alfaath???? Like seriously???? U guys too???

Kitorg satu bus, especially i yang first timer ni mmg x sangka both of our mentors are super fun. Memanglah kerja u kene serious, and betul juga org kata, qualify trip and u’ll see the real colour of our group.

Even Nabi pon pernah bersabda kan “Bermusafirlah dengan seseorang itu untuk mengenalinya” 

And Alhamdulillah, we were all destine in the A3 group/bus yang super super fun. The driver is fun, the tourist guides are even more fun, us? well, u’ve watched the video, right?

Of course we cant compress the whole 4D3N in a 10 minutes clip. Definitely u must must must join us in next Free 5 star Guangzhou trip.

Call me up at 0179611175 and i’ll guide thru it. Untill we make it together, and have fun all 4 days and 3 nights in Guangzhou!!!!!

p/s: so i’ve heard that we can bring back a whole cargo container just by bringing RM2000 to Guangzhou. Ahmmmm, that sounds like shopping heaven to me!

Alhamdulillahhhhh, semalam sempat pass aura cuti cuti dekat rakan kongsi, Munirah. Tahniah sbb munirah ni mmg hebat, sanggup turun dr Ipoh, balik hari semata mata nak tahu mcm mana nak bwk 1 bas nih pergi Guangzhou. Kagum sekejap dengan semangat Munirah. Untung anak2 buah dpt leader hebat n committed mcm nih.

Since kata pon nk discuss pasal free trip Guangzhou kan, so i bwk Munirah mkn dekat Spring Garden, KLCC. I pun first time masuk sini, suka gilerrrrrrrr. The furnishing is very luxurious dengan combnation red, velvet n gold, huihhhhh rasa nk bergolek2 je kt dlm.

We ordered shark fin soup as appetizer andd…..

Vah ah vahhhhhhh the food!!!! Paling kelakar waiter tu siap cakap jgn order bnyk2. E’ehhhh, org nk feeling 5 star trip Guangzhou nih, suka la nk order apa. But, alhamdulillahhhhhh, the food is superb!!!!! Sedab gilosssssss. Ratah lauk je dah kenang.

And we finished it up with durian pancake as dessert. SubhanaAllah, masyaAllah, dia punya sedap durian pancake nihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, mmg confirm la kalah yg beli kat tempt lain. Manis, lemak, creamy, mmg bergumpal2 lemak terkumpul. Kih kih kihhhhhh. one plate is RM12 and ada 2 ketul je. tapi mmg berbaloi baloiiiiii

Seronok tgk munirah happy n bersemangat nk achieve Guangzhou. Because what we have here is just 10% what we’ll get masa free trip company nanti. Dengan sahabat2 dlm biz, bonding yg mcm adik beradik, we r not just the correct group, we r the group that stay together no matter what happen, stick up thru ups n downs n full support sampai masing2 berjaya, confirm xdpt dlm group lain. Because i’ve been there n experienced it masa dkat Vietnam n i want ALL of my biz partners to experience it too.

Elok lepas hbis meeting je, dpt sms dr pakji, the lil baby is warded. Apa lg, dr KLCC terus pecuttttttt sampai kajang We went to kpmc n kpj, diorg kata paed wont be around till Monday, tu yg nak xnak, terus ke sepital Kajang. Nasib la paed dia on duty je selalu.

Alhamdulillah, he is all fine now. Tp, kakak dia la kene bersiaran dr hospital hari ni. Tu yang tergendala jap cerita Vietnam. Tapi terus masuk cerita Guangzhou. Heheheeee

The Guangzhou package is still on going n if u wan to know how we make it thru to this free 5 star trips, well, know where to find me alahhhhh susah2 dtg je paed ward hospital kajang. Bila lg nak merasa biz sharing kat hospital kan. He he heeeee
