Askmeme: Ice cream asks

Assalamualaikum

It has been a long time since I last update this blog. Dah 4 bulan dah kot. And this month I'm finally in my twenties... or 20 years old to be exact. Hello twenty, bye -teens :( Truthfully, dah tak ada idea nak update pasal apa haha I said this every time but it's true. So untuk elakkan blog ni daripada arwah dah, I am going to do this ask meme: Ice creams versions. I've done this in the past with two other themes : spooky asks & too much information tag. If you're interested, then go check it out :)

Oh, also I've "degrade" my blog to the good old classic template. Mostly because I want small space just in case I want to update random thoughts in small paragraph. Jadi tak ada lah rasa awkward bila ada space yang besar tapi tulis sikit jer... btw this is my previous template but I've widen the space sebab before this kecil sangat lah pula 😅

This ask meme I got from tumblr. Feel free to do this if you want too :)

Recap and Lessons of 2017

Assalamualaikum

Hi guys! Happy new year!! Although it’s already 6th Jan, it’s still relatively “new” year, right? hehe I’m at home right now, so I don’t have any wifi. I’m relaying on my mom’s hotspot je ni. Anyway, selamat tahun baru, may Allah bless this year. Let’s spend it wisely and always be happy!

I don’t think I’m going to make this year resolution, as I’m not exactly satisfied with my progress of last year’s resolution *facepalm. Last year I strive to:

1. Be a better servant of Allah - Alhamdulillah, I’m still trying my best to be a better servant. Maybe I’ll do a Ramadhan challenge this year? Hehe who knows if I’ll ever succeed (or even meet Ramadhan this year) I just can only pray for the best to myself and others. 

2. Save money – This. Is. The. Trickiest. Last year I save about RM0.00. For the love of God, it’s so hard for me to save money ;-; I cannot resist all these food, discounts and offers, skincare, things… maybe it’s because I don’t exactly set a goal of what to buy and the exact amount. Let’s try again this year (with a goal) and I hope I’ll succeed. insyaAllah 

3. Get dean list for sem 2 and sem 3 – Alhamdulillah, I’m proud of my result in the last two semesters. I’m in sem 4 right now, and it’s already midterm so yeah, let’s do best this sem and sem5 too.

4. Update blog regularly and first giveaway (?) – Ha ha ha. Overall, I updated this blog ONLY 10 TIMES THIS YEAR. What is happening to me ;-; and also no first giveaway ha ha. InsyaAllah this year kalau ada rezeki I’ll do it. (itu pun kalau my followers sampai 500) but no promise, because I’m suck at keeping promise. Sorry.

5. Lead a healthy lifestyle – As I said before, I’m training myself to drink flavoured water only once per day and sometimes once every 2 days. But sadly, 0 times I went jogging. Yeah, sorry again. Let’s jog this year, okay? My body is going to cry in happiness every time I decide to jog, but cry in sadness when I find a reason to cancel it. yeah, that’s pretty much the story of my life. 

Things I’ve learned in 2017: 

• Things we see doesn’t always the truth. For instance, we see someone as how good their appearance is, how kind they are, how rich they are. But they also have their own downfall. Like how lazy they are, how they don’t really care of their environment, how they are quick to judge and how they can talk bad about someone else without batting an eyelash. And vice versa, of course. We just see what they want us to see, but those who live with them know the truth. And I think that’s a pretty good lesson to not judge someone by their appearance only. We gotta listen to those who know them the best rather than making our own assumption. 

• Never choose a someone who will keep you away from your God and your family. Yes, cinta itu buta and sometimes terlalu buta sampai sanggup tinggalkan mak ayah just for a guy/girl you barely know. And that’s what pissed me off so much. Willing to spend lots of money and time on them, as long as they say they “love” you. Although your parents don’t always say it, I’m pretty sure they love you more than anything. So, please don’t abandon your parents for someone who are not that worth it. Not everyone is bad, but most of them are bad. 

• Never over excited about things especially friendship. Why I said especially friendship? It’s because to me, friendship is just a phase. Everyone will eventually leave you for better or for worst.so I’ve train myself to not get very excited over friendship, such as “omg we’re BEST FRIEND FOREVER” then proceed to buy friendship bracelet, rings or necklaces – because girls are like that. One or two month later, the contacts between us gradually decreasing until we didn’t talk to each other anymore. Idk if it’s just me or it’s always like that. If it’s just me… wait. that’s pretty messed up… 

• Kill them with kindness. Insult them with sarcasm. Shut them up with your bullshit. Live life as there is no tomorrow. Do whatever that won’t harm yourself. If your smoke: stop it! You're only killing yourself and others. Embrace! Your! Insecurities! A simple gratitude can make someone’s day. Take care of yourself. The world is cruel, but don’t let you be one too.

The last but not least, bye 2017, hello 2018. please be a great year for me and everyone else, except for racist and those Islamophobic people. Respect others, and you will get respected too. Adios amigos.

Until I write again,

Assalamualaikum

Collective Online Haul

Assalamualaikum.

It has been a while guys *waves* And not only one or two, but three months!! What have I done to my precious blog omg.

But look at my new blog theme /yeay/ back to basic – black and white. For the navigation part, I haven’t think of what to put there yet, so I’m going to leave it as it is. Everything else is brand new and… I need to make new blog list.

I want to thank unimap's library for providing a fast wifi connection. Without you, I won't ever change my blog theme. Like ever. And not only a day, but two days (and with a "for studying purposes" excuse to my roommates) I spent in library to look for a suitable theme to fit my picky self and to change it a lil bit. What a productive two days for me as I need to "travel" for 35 minutes by bus from my campus to the branch library which is in Kangar.

Today I want to share some collective haul that I made from Instagram shops and Hermo. These are the hauls I made since I started semester 3. So, it may not be all that much, but yeah I just want to share what I have waste my money on. Yep. Let's get started.

So firstly, I embrace my inner nerd and bought these babies. I bought this from an Instagram shop and the shop sell lots of cute stuff that got me rambang mata as I choose which one I want to buy. I bought these before eid and I got it after eid. I think the shopper got my order mash up with some people or there's no stock for the stick note that I wanted because I’m pretty sure I did not order some sumo sticky notes.

But since it was eid, and I know all online shoppers are chasing for pos laju due date, so I totally understand the struggle. Besides the sumo guys are cute, so wrong order redeemed *shrugs* I love cat theme things therefore I bought the notebook, and look at the starry washi tape. Ughh magical.

Secondly, I bought 2 new great things. I just can't resist my otaku self. I bought this bag at RM10 which is cheap considering it’s an official merchandise! I love it so much, I've brought it to class a couple of time. *fangirling over Levi heichou* And the earphone is so cute! Just look at the case. I really can’t resist seeing cat theme things. The quality is not the best, but I love it all the same. It's very cute! Look at that bone-shaped microphone! Precious~

And lastly, I brought several products from Hermo.

• Fast 10’s gel eye liner auto pencil in Diamond black
• Silkygirl Lash Prism mascara in 01 Blackest black
• Maybelline Super BB Cushion Fresh Matte in 03 Natural
• Nature Republic soothing and moisture 92% Aloe Vera gel

I've used the pencil eyeliner for several times and I like it. before I bought it, I was like what's the difference of diamond black and the usual black? Because the usual black is sold out, so it got the diamond one and thought it was the same. Ha the joke is on me. I should've read the details more carefully next time because the diamond black has glitter in it. but so far, I'm loving it. it dry fast, waterproof, smudge proof and glitter! Even when you rub it, the glitter stays on. Who doesn't love glitter on their eyes, right?

For the mascara, lots of people have tried it and for me, I kind of like it. it gives very natural look and it does lengthening my eyelashes a lil bit. Even my friends notice that I'm wearing it as I don't have long eyelashes.

As for the cushion, I haven’t try it yet and I'm very excited about it as I've read and watch some reviews and it got good reviews from beauty bloggers and youtubers.

If you’ve read about Aloe Vera mist before, I've mentioned that I’m very picky between the mist and the gel. But to my surprise, the gel works wonder! It doesn’t leave any sticky feeling that I was afraid for, and it’s really soothing my skin. And it’s also cheaper than the mist too! What a bargain.

This is the end of my rambling. And some of it end up like a review haha. I also bought lots of washi tapes offline, but I’m not going to post it here since this post is for online things I bought, so maybe separate post? Or not. I'm a lazy human bean...

There are not many things I bought, but I think it's quite plenty considering how my roommates eyes go wide every time I brought pos laju parcel from IMO office. I've been holding myself back from buying everything I saw online, so it's a little achievement for me. *nervous laugh* there goes my new year resolution.

I hope you enjoy this post and if you want to know where I bought these cute stuff, go ahead and ask and I’ll link it to you. I hope I’m this productive every week.

Until I write again.

p/s; I was lipat kain tadi and suddenly my brain goes “let’s post something today” so yeah.

p/s ii; please pardon the quality of the photos. they were taken using potato
