Untuk yang masih tak tahu lagi, I'm currently working with TikTok Malaysia as a Community Management Specialist. Apa tu? Basically, I'm one of the people yang moderate all the videos yang korang posted on TikTok lah. But don't come for me if your video kena remove ke apa okay. I'm just following the guidelines and you should too!
Okay enough about my work, I'm here to talk about the year end dinner yang berlangsung on the 14th of December 2023. Tema dinner tu was "A Night In Safari" and I was informed on the theme in less than a month and who does that? Mana lah eh orang sempat nak memikir apa nak pakai kan. Lagi-lagi pula someone like me yang memang suka benda-benda bertema ni, mesti lah kita nak all out kan.
So my first choice bila dapat tahu tema tu was 'Peacock'. Kononnya nak jadi burung merak lah sebab masa tu still recovering from Heidi Klum punya Halloween costume kan. Kita pun feeling-feeling lah nak jadi merak kayangan. Tapi bila kira-kira kos nak get the costume done tu, terus terasa sedikit pening dan lapar. So I have to look for other alternative lah. Orang lain semua bila tanya pakai apa, semua nak jadi safari ranger. I mean tu je lah yang beretika kan, kalau nak dressup jadi binatang macam terlalu obvious sifat kebinatangan dalam diri tu nanti.
Me? of course lah I don't want to wear what everybody else is wearing kan. I need to find something different. Punya lah memikir tiba-tiba sampai idea masa tengah makan shawarma in the office at 2.30 am. I suddenly remember Schiaparelli punya Lion Head dress yang Kylie and Irina pakai during his show in Paris. So I was like "yup that is going to be my look for the night".
Kita pun apa lagi dik, malam tu juga lah kita buka shopee and cari kepala singa. Ada pelbagai eh harga dan rupa, sebagai orang yang berjimat cermat, semestinya kita cari yang murah but fierce. Ada ke patut benda yang ada dua harga yang berbeza? The first kedai yang I came across jual the kepala for RM100++ but kita ni berdarah melayu B40 kan, tak pernah putus asa, so kita scroll-scroll sampai bawah jumpa lah benda yang sama for half the price. Tak fikir panjang lah dik, kita add to cart, letak voucher and SpayLater 4 kali bayar (walaupun RM50 tetap bayar 4x dik, sebab tengah bulan kan). Done deal tunggu kepala singa sampai je.
So ini lah my look for "A Night In Safari" haritu. Okay ke tak? Dapatlah jadi calon best dressed malam tu walaupun tak menang ek.
Honestly, I'm happy with how it turned out lah but most importantly, I really had fun with my team that night and I got to me other people from the other team as well. So it was a wonderful night and I hope I will get to experience this again.
To those yang wonder, apakah rupa busana asal yang menjadi inspirasi Faiz Faisal ni? Bawah ni lah dress sebenar. Ya kita punya singa macam kacuk harimau rambut dah botak sikit kalau nak compare kan. Asal ada lah dik.
P/S: Tahun depan kalau tema angkasa raya, kita dah ada dah outfitnya. :p
