Almost 1 month + car search

 Tonight the 21st of Ramadhan. How time flies. I just got my period in time. Alhamdulillah so so much that I finished khatam al-Qur'an today. I can't believe I read 10 juz per week. Allahuu. So so grateful.

This week has been a quite discipline week. I can't believe I have the kind of discipline/restraint. Or it's just sometimes I forgot. But it's tough because I've been combating the reality of parting which never fails to make me cry. I also notice I don't want to talk about things that make me sad if I don't think I can stop myself from crying. 

I got to room to myself most of the week. And the dishes I bought from home (rendang with 4 pieces of chicken) lasted my until Friday. The highlight meal was having buffet with the staffs while most single staffs somehow girl classified. 

Thursday was holiday day. Holidays certainly the time of the week that I can't wait about. Nuzul Qu'ran day. I set up my stash away simple account that day. I did wahed last week. And deposited some gold too. So grateful I can diversify my portfolio and into syariah compliance investments. Though stash away simple I'll probably treat as high interest savings accounts instead of investments. Still newbie and so much more to learn.

I also spent so much time researching on buying a car. I prayed for an easy solution. Though I did strategies a plan. Second hand and also grad scheme and rent room for June. I don't know how much more Allah has blessed me and keep on blessing me with so so many things I should be more grateful. At Friday, my dad whatsapp me that his friend, L found a suitable car. Today we went to see Alhamdulillah it seem so perfect and I hope it this is really the best for me, for Allah to continue make it easy for me. We did also go to a few used car places yesterday which taught me a lot.

Okay, that's pretty much it for this week. 

To making the most of the last 10 nights,

My first gold & silver, my first investment.

 Actually at my last post I just ordered my first physical gold & silver. It's probably the only one I will own for a while since I'll be focusing more on my gold account (the gold is cheaper there). I did my research a bit though I hope I knew more. I think this is a good long term investment still with the inflation rate.

I fdid open a second account where I found a reputable syariah compliant company as well as have a better spread value. Also, it offers plans that perhaps I can gain a few dollars (short term gold investments). As I'm not working right now, I hope this serves as a source of income as well as a passive income when I'm working. I still need to my work of how gold works and things which made me dizzy with all the filler informations ><. But still it's a work in progress.

I have quite a number of things I need to purchase this month that why's I'm hoping my money is able to grow a bit. Anyhow, Alhamdulillah I'm glad I'm blogging.


A part of growing up,

Self-discipline.

This month's theme I guess is to relearn myself and the past. As always there got to be something that needs to happen at the second half of the year that changes how I think of the year. 

So I learn I need more self-discipline and learning to put my lenience at the right place especially when talking to the opposite gender. I can't be too lenient with myself. Have control, focus on my purpose in this world. Being clear on my objectives. Choosing to do the right thing is hard. Owning up to it is hard. Accepting my thoughts are wrong is a process. Still, I'm proud of most choices I made. For the bad ones, owning yup it's my fault and I have to remember not to make the same mistake again.

Example yesterday, choosing to stay in bed and procrastinate thinking giving myself some time might be better which was wrong. I got up, got myself moving made me better and prevent myself from having a degrading moment at night for not being responsible. Choosing to tidy my room. tidy the kitchen, cook, practicing driving, finding a counselor, painting and now writing this down. 

Alhamdulillah, I was able to do all that.


Typing from my laptop at last,

Supposingly react?

A little story at Sek 9 pharmacy...

Kak S: Your mom.. She isn't mad at you?

Me: Mad? What for? *literally confuse*

Kak S: For working 7 days a week.

Cust cames in...

So..
\
The conclusion, my mom isn't mad. No reason to. Oppositely, she actually supporting my decision.

But it doesn't mean I'm not tired though. Still I shouldn't complain. :)

Listening to podcast, feeling weird.

Just a few minutes ago, I was listening to a podcast (Suefficient Answers - Mikaeel Smith from Qalam), because I don't wanna be hearing my roommates discussing their answers for PT. Haha.
The end part had a little Q&A. I was listening to it and it felt familiar? Which is weird because I can't recall being in a similar situation attending a talk in English with a private Q&A. Or was it because the jokes are so deja vu. I don't know. Maybe a missing memory but I don't think that's it either.

Anyhow, that's all. Lol.

Just some thoughts,

2019 in a nutshell.

It's 11.26 pm 31st December 2019 right now and I'm not in the best state but let's give this a shot, okay?

1. Name three words that best describe my 2019.
Self-development, self-healing and self-love.

2. Biggest lesson you've learned this year.
Taking care of my own self is not selfish because me myself have a right as well.

3. Biggest change I did this year.
Focusing on lots and lots of self development. Changing my routine to be exact. I didn't thought I would be exercising. Lol. Vlogging as well.

4. Best decision I made this year.
Letting go and setting boundaries on things that are not worth it.

5. Best single achievement I made this year.
Saying no to become one of the candidates of national student awards simply because I don't want to do this anymore.

6. Who helped you get through 2019.
Allah, myself, my family. Honestly Allah grant me so much strength that not anyone has.

7. Which worry was unnecessary this year?
How I am gonna help my family financial situation. But I guess it's necessary even though there's nothing much I can help. Hope it gets better. Aamiin.

8. How did you grow emotionally this year?
I'm doing better this year. I cry but lesser & I don't feel depressed as much.

9. Happiest moment of 2019.
Having my family coming for a surprise visit. It was the best.

10. Saddest moment of 2019.
I have a ton of sad 'moments' I had to dealt with but I don't think there is a top most sad thing.

Wow. That was short. Guess I don't really have much to say.

I'm proud of you 2019,

23 Things For 23 Me.

So I turned 23 yesterday! It's weird because I kinda feel I skip a year of my 22 because I feel I'm 23 like most time of the year because my mindset is I'll graduate at 24. So yeah. I think it's gonna be a little tricky because I didn't do much. But let's give this a try, okay?

23 Things I Love On My 23rd Birthday
  1. Sleeping like a lot (but I slept a bit late the night before).
  2. Missing tahajud and feeling upset about it (I redeem myself today).
  3. Having no birthday plans for the day.
  4. [During morning recitation] Stumbling across An-Nur 24:26 about good partners in a couple, which motivates me.
  5. Folding my clothes first thing in the morning!
  6. Treating myself breakfast to leftovers of burger baek I saved for myself last night. Yummy!
  7. Watching a lot of Youtube videos (like an hour) and falling back to sleep.
  8. Having my parents as the first ones to wish me happy birthday.
  9. Realising I spent my birthday for my first year & last year in IIUMK, while the other two at home.
  10. Getting a call from my youngest brother wishing me happy birthday the morning and my younger sister at night (she didn't have data that's why).
  11. My little brother H asked me what I want for my birthday, which is the sweetest. I replied spending time with him.
  12. Getting an unexpected long wishes from my friend from Thailand & Egypt.
  13. My ex-teammate I was working, wish me on FB which I realised I forgot all about him.
  14. Having kak S wishing me when I know she's so busy!!
  15. Feeling so proud because I actually studied today (like 4 chapters of Quality Assurance subject). What a way to celebrate my birthday.
  16. Secretly wanting a piece of birthday cake, but realised it's too expensive to go out and buy one.
  17. No physical gifts (like monetary) this year! Only non-physical ones.
  18. [During night recitation] Looking into a verse (An-Nur 24:31), I nearly forgot I once memorised about aurah.
  19. Decided treat myself to a movie night (as a birthday celebration) and realising I don't know what to watched (In the end, I watched Ella Enchanted).
  20. Having 2 packs of Maggi for my movie birthday celebration.
  21. Found that I reached my weight target of around 48kg (before I ate the 2 packs of noodles!).
  22. Realising how much sodium is in the noodles which can cause hypernatremia and subsequently fluid retention (that's why I weighed more. Haha.)
  23. Humming to an unexisting rhyme while I brush my teeth at night (it was 11ish, so that still counts in the day).
This is probably the lousiest list I did among the 3 years. Just a list of what I did yesterday, but that's certainly an experience still.

Happy 23rd birthday to me!
TGiaH

P/S: Something really made me tossing and turning (and super saddd) after 12 last night, I realised that not all people like seeing me & my family being happy. Eventhough I rarely post on social media, it only takes one post for people to inflict hate. I wished things like this never happens, but again that's life and I can only do my best.

Lemon tree

There was a cute quiz that's been around like 10 days ago which I decided to do. The results were pretty interesting. So my Focus Type Analysis results was Lemon Tree which I did not see anyone get the same results as me (neither does Coconut). Haha.

My initial response: *confused face*

What my friends comments on my results:
- "You tick every sentence."
- "Wah. Eternally Love."
- "Yeah. That's true."

While my response towards my friends comments are:
- "I don't think the results are true."
- [A while later] "Maybe, it's just what you girls see on the outside but there are a lot more that people don't."

So that results say...:

Calm and gentle, showing eternal love. 
(I had to search up what eternal love means bc it does not make sense. Haha. Definitely not calm and gentle! Wish I am though.)

You are emotionally stable 
(Nope. I literally had depression and breakdowns.  Multiple times in a day the worse. Crying myself to sleep. Felt like I'm a broken thing. Yadaa yadaa. DEFINITELY NOT EMOTIONALLY STABLE.)
and friendly.
(I take this. But I'm less friendly nowadays.)

You are emphatic
(Yeah. But most people are too. I'm not as emphatic as people think.)
and you care a lot about you loved ones.
(Yeah too. But I guess some are too stupid to realise this. :P)

Focus on details
(I don't even do that nowadays.)
and may you treat others with kindness.
(Is this sentence supposed to be and advise or what? But Aamiin anyways. I prayed that most of the time.)

In conclusion: I hope someday the results resonates with me. Someday. For today, let me heal fully first.



Fun fact: I hate sour things though.

I don't eat oden but I work there.

There's an oden kiosk at our cafe. Last week Monday, they said they want a part timer for 1 hour. So I decided to take the chance even though I was nervous.

Turns out I did a great job. Plus, they hired me for 2. So I got 8 bucks for that! Alhamdulillah.

I guess. With financial issues and stuffs, I don't have much option to find money because at least it put my heart a peace a bit. I'm trying to sells stuffs online, instant noodles offline (which is going well) and work part time if I could. So if Allah wills, I can earn a bit.

I guess the pleasure time of just dedicating to study is over. But still, I'm grateful. 

May Allah grant me chance to always help my family,

First time as emcee + productive Sunday.

22 September 2019.

Marks the day I first time tried being an emcee. I did it well. And I'm so proud of myself.

Of course I didn't really want to be an emcee but I didn't have much choice. But the event was pretty simple. Just an smoking cessation & mental health with anti-drug agency pahang.

I still think I could done a bit more better. But seeing how my friends compliment my that I did well. I didn't stutter. I handled it professionally. Just a bit fast in some parts. My friend didn't even know it was my first time being an emcee which I think they are proud of me as well.

After the event, I had to get up soon after to the airport to welcome the Indonesian exchange students.

It was a really productive day. That by the end of it, I was tired. Ahh. And basically everything I ate that day is free. How a good day it is.

There are first to everything, right?

Final year.. Finally?

Wow. The title. Makes me a bit sad already.

I'm back at home now after a few days of my first week back at UIA. Entering my final years which wow. I'm a super senior now. Seriously, time flies so fast.

I was in a dilemma whether I should take more elective courses or audit or in sit for the classes. After many thoughts, I'd just think of in sitting the class. Idk if I use the word properly. It's my first hearing in sit. But whatever.

Deciding to take in sit results in me having more free time which I hope I use well. In Sha Allah.

I left some of my belongings hence why I'm home. I'm so glad though. After being with my family for months, I miss them. Honestly.

Final years also makes me a bit scared too. Another one year until the big bad world greets me. Huhu.

Oh I also recorded some clips for me to try to some vlogs for me to watch back.

Honestly, I forgot what I need to update but whatever.

Going to KL with H and I bought a new phone!

Since last few months, I was thinking of buying a new phone. I felt lie I'm stretching the life of my Sony phone. It's a good phone which I managed to bought with my own hard earn money. My first ever smartphone. <3 But it's already 5 and a 1/2 year already since I bought. All my friends even change their phone a few times while I'm still loyal with my Sony. Despite it's broken volume button, black spotted screen, very little storage, battery that won't even last a few hours, I wanted to keep my phone until I finish my studies but fearing it might suddenly die out of nowhere. Then having to spend a larger amount of money to buy a new one. Well, I couldn't risk that would I. But I still need money to buy a new one. I wanted to work but who wanna hire someone whose just gonna work for less than 3 weeks? Plus, I have things I have to settle too which requires me to stay at home. So I finally decided to use my savings which Alhamdulillah there was enough (I have like 7 to 8 bank accounts. Maybe in another blog post. I'll tell.) After, a little bit of rearrangements, I have some money to buy a new phone. Tbh, in June when I went out to the mall with my mom and I (my bro) there was one phone I think quite a nice mid range one. Not too expensive & not too cheap. Modest specs. So yeah, basically it's on my list. But I still hope the price will drop a bit For the past few days, I survey the price online and somehow biiznillah I found one on sale! Not only the price was more affordable (it was RM 100 less), it has a physical store, plus like promising customers' feedback. The store is accessible to the train line which is a major deal winner. I can just there with my brother (and teach my brother how to navigate the train.). After istikharah and discussing with my parents, this was it!

So I went to KL with my little brother H. My dad drops us off at the train station. I taught my brother how to read the train map and how to change the railway lines and so when we first got there. I did bought him the card yesterday at the petrol station just in case. It just makes the job much easier.We hopped on the train and H was awe for like the first 20 minutes. Oh my little 20 year old brother. XD But hey, the view is something worth watching. I like seeing the diversity in Malaysia. Oh and my bro is a big fan of trains. After a train interchange and stops, we were at the store. Everything was good. Checked here. Checked there. Until when I want them to install my simcard, they unfortunately don't offer the cutting service. Oh well. Hope I find a mobile store in KLCC that can help.

Another train later, we arrived to KLCC. But being a noob, I accidently went straight entered the building next to KLCC first before the actual KLCC. Well... When you're underground you can't see the top, okay. But it was a good accident because there was a mobile store is there and not in KLCC. After that, we found our way to Kinokuniya in KLCC. I love bookstores! I really fell in love the atmosphere. Sky tall bookshelves, people there just enjoying their time with book a hint of classic music at the background. How can I not fell in love? I was really tempted to buy books. But English books are so expensive even the smallest book the size of A5 is RM 10-15. While the books I eyed on was like RM 70++. I searched for ebooks and I secretly hoping I can grab the books when it's on sale. Glad there are some options online which some are free. I guess I have to be satisfied with these now. So I didn't buy any. Well, thinking about it. It's the first time I went to a bookstore and bought nothing. Well, I just bought a phone which cost way more than a book and I need to budget.

On the way back, when the train arrives, it was way pack that I had to change to to other doors before I get in. The funny thing is my brother was like Sis! His face was practically saying don't leave me! He was the last to hop on. Well, you can kinda expect the trains in the main capital city are way packed. But I already taught him which train stop he should hop off and everything. Still, even I scared for him if I left him. I've been to the capital city by my own multiples times and he can't even buy a bus ticket from his uni back home. Well, I'm the grown up here. Haha. Well, he's one of a kind. He just reads the bought that he boughts all the way. I have to keep track of the stations and do every other stuffs. *face palms*

That' s for today. Alhamdulillah.

Coincidently another white phone,

A week update: I love my phone! It's been working perfect! :)

Another fasting failure.

I tried fasting again yesterday but I guess it's not meant to be either.

At least it was mid day rather than an hour before maghrib.

I was cooking my campak campak version of sambal sardine for my brother H, because he's not fasting and a poor cook. Haha. I taught him what to put and how to cut the ingredients. He was so awkward with the knife. Still, I'm proud of him for trying.

I was still fasting when the cooking was done. But I've felt maybe perhaps I'm on period already but probably not as well.

I went to check and oh well. No luck this time either. So I immediately had lunch and lunch was yummy! (I know I cooked the food but give me some credits)

I've finished my log book Alhamdulillah and sent it to the pharmacy. The printing was a big hassle btw. I spent an hour manually doing the printing. I met little double U at the pharmacy. He asked why I haven't come so long. He still remembers me! Such a cute kid.

At night, I slept in late spending more than an hour catching up with my old deskmate, A. It's been years since I've meet her. Well, we never once met since we graduated. She stills so much her old self.

Campak campak,
The Girl in a Hood


P/S: I still got to fast on Monday so it wasn't that bad.

Kissing blood

An updates on what I did in the past few days..

To see how productive my life is. Lol.

6th of July (Saturday)
Out & about with the international students. A trip to Malacca! We were suppose to be the tour guide but I guess along the way the committees got a little too excited about exploring the city. Acah acah tourist. Haha. First time (I think) eating at a Baba Nyonya restaurant. The food was good and I have to say that I'm touched that the non-muslim tried hard to find a halal restaurant at Jonker street. I'm grateful to be there because if it's me alone would be like fish out of water. A muslim malay girl wondering in a chinese street with restaurants selling non-halal stuffs. What a scene it would be. And the trip goes on... Ohhh & the street art during the Malacca river cruise was so cool! Wish I had artsy skills. But the very highlight of the trip. Me walking straight into the glass sliding door at the middle of the night. Sure was so dumb of me. My upper lips stings before I touched it in the dark realising it bleeding. My nose bridge stills hurts a bit (my nose went flat as I bump into the glass). With intention of praying jama' takhir before I arrived home (because if I enter the area, it would consider I missed maghrib). Oh well, things happened.

7th of July (Sunday)
Visiting my aunt's house for a little 'majlis kesyukuran' and went to our old house for a bit of cleaning. Something I should note to myself. Fixing the wooden tile floor. Achievement accomplished! Haa. XD I wore a dress I hadn't worn in like 4 years. So grateful I managed to declutter my wardrobe. Even I'm not the shopping type of girl, I still have quite a lot. I try to kept what I really need & want. I'm grateful though, some can't even afford clothes. Alhamdulillah. Oh I got off topic. About our old house. It seemed so different. I hope in time, the house is nice-in up for rent (I know nice-in up is not a real word. Bear with me. Haha.). And H cut his toe. The old tv crash on his toe. Ouch. He cried & apologise for it. I told him a real man is one who can cry. :)

8th of July (Monday)
I forgot pretty much what I did on Monday. Did I declutter my wardrobe on Monday or Tuesday? Okay, definitely Monday. Lol. I tried sorting all my hijabs & non-formal attire ones. I also did some batik cakes to sell at my mom's school on Monday (it sold out btw. Alhamdulillah.). Ohhh. I forgot. This day was when I felt so high in the morning. Like today was gonna be a good day. Yada yada. Haha. Still, quite productive.

9th of July (Tuesday)
Cooked fried rice for breakfast. Went out with D for lunch & movie date! We watched Spider-Man: Far From Home. Tbh, I hoped the movie wasn't so predictable. So it was a little waste on my money because normally movie this type is great enough to be watch at home (just an opinion). But overall, it was kinda good. I haven't even watch Endgames. D scolded me for that. Haha. Back home & had a lovely pizza surprise! Yum! Did some of my work at night.

10th of July aka today (Wednesday)
Today today today.. Had pizza for breakfast. Cooked rice, blackpepper chicken & omelette for lunch. Read 5 Tahun 5 Bulan, blogs & TLL. Played Duolingo. Made another batches of batik cake to sell. I didn't expect people to buy the first one. Still so grateful. I hope it continues to get sold out. It means much to me even earning an extra 1 or 2 ringgit means a lot. That reminds me to buy the ingredients to make the next batches next week!

So that's a wrap! I hope I can pluck the strength to continue writing this blog. It means a lot to future me that likes to reflect. I'm still healing, but I'm still very proud of myself in just 6 months I progress this much. I wish sometimes the feeling that I miss the memories it's not there like now, when I write this (which I stopped me for a few seconds from writing). Tough much? Not really. I can easily turn down the feeling which for me is an accomplishment. :)

What the hell I'm even writing..

Content & happy.

Ramadhan Day 29: One day left.. :(

Ramadhan pass by so fast. Tonight's gonna be last night for tarawikh, tomorrow gonna be the last night for fasting. I've nearly reach most of my goals so pat in the shoulder for me. XD But there are few things I definitely wanted to try, so I'll try next year. #pinkypromise

It's been a few days since last day of uni, I got back by car with S & kak M on Saturday right after exams. And tbh, that day was the happiest and most content day I've ever been in a while. It was perfect. Being surrounded by family, talking non stop with them, good food, good laughs, smiles. I'm really grateful.

But now at this moment, I'm already bored. Haha. When you are so used *L came* to being busy & when you're not. You don't know what to do. Lol. I had to retrace the things I always wanted to do, so that's why I'm here!

Happy holiday everyone!

What happens when a pharmacy student study business..

Ramadhan Day 18: Entering the last third... Huhu.

I've just finished my Pharmacy Management & Administration paper last Monday. Now it's Wednesday & I'm preparing for my Herb Med paper tomorrow. Hope it goes well. Aamiin.

One thing I realised about studying this subject. It's sooo plain & booooring. Yup. Indeed. 

And that made me so grateful that I'm not studying business well I'm grateful I ended in this course. But I remember how much I love science & how creative the world of science is. 

Pharmacy is the best choice indeed.

Despite the rough journey getting here.

I think it's worth it.

Another reason to be grateful,
The Girl in a Hood


P/S: Guess I should tick off business or marketing as my postgraduate choice.

Baitul muslim course? Passed!

Guess what? I'm writing this a week after I went to the baitul muslim course. Lol.

This was so unexpected of me to go but somehow Allah turn the events for me to go. So yeah..

Even I'm probably not getting married in this life. But at least I did others things except marriage so I wouldn't think of it again in the future.

So.. Checked on this one. XD

The pre-marrital course was interesting btw. But most stuff I already learn from school.

Thinking back. I was already tick the box on knowledge. Haha.

So pity I'm not gonna use it.

Oh well.

Life is life.

Whatever Allah gives for me, is the best for me. :)

At least my family is happy for me..

Uhuh,

Starting Qur'an journaling//notes or actually trying to XD

We had a Friday off! So Alhamdulillah for that! Because we rarely do get Friday off. But it's like 30 minutes before today ends. So huhu for that.

I'm writing here basically talking what I spent my time today.

Timeline:
6.20 a.m: Miss tahajud. :(
10.50 a.m: Woke up after sleeping back at 8. 
11.30 a.m: Instant noodles.
12.30 p.m: Drafting my Qur'an Journal - Al-Fatihah from Daily Qur'an Lessons by Ustadha Taimiyyah Zubair (link here).
5.30 p.m: Bought myself Mocha as an early treat. Lol. 
7.40 p.m: Basically just finish the notes.
9.30 p.m: Washing my clothes. *feeling extremely extremely exhausted + start wondering about the Palestinian kids who haven't eaten for days because I was so hungry*
10.00 p.m: Dinner.
11.30 p.m: Blogging.

The story here is that probably last Tuesday I guess I watch a video on Youtube with Aliza Kim on it (I really don't know she exists before this. I like her already! She speaks my heart. Lol.). And somehow I found out about the Daily Qur'an Lesson on her channel (which I love as well!). So with much motivation to learn about the Qur'an and my artsy side who just woke up from hibernating, very excited me can't wait to start to do this!! Buuuttt doing notes taking loads of time! Huhu. Really. And I feel famish by the end of it. But the good side is that, I think I'm starting to get the hand of it. Also on the good side, I concentrate better in my solat today! I would love to do it again. But let's see.

And.. Now I'm eyeing on Zebra Mildliners to make my notes complete. *money flying (probably back to me. I'm so lame at jokes)*

2 minutes later.. Peeking inside the book, feeling so proud of myself. So me. *roll eyes*

Pray for me to be istiqmah & make time for this!

Saying 'I Love You To Your Siblings' Challenge.

When saying love you is so common in your family. Still you mean every single word. May Allah grant us jannah with the ones I love. Credit to AA Sisterhood for the challenge, I had fun reading the comments!



Uhibukafillah abadan abada habibi,
