August recap & Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Assalamualaikum

How are you? It has been a month since my last update and I am sorry about that. It has been such a hectic month for me. I'm going to bore you, but i still want to talk about what happened in August.

On the first week, i went home for midterm break yang tak approve tu. Yes, our dean did not approve our midterm break as she said she's going to give us extra 2 days for Raya Haji. regardless, our lecturers decided they wanted to give us the break, and so I went back home.

Second and third weeks was full of midterm tests, completing final year project, and other side projects as in assignments and just living my life - or should I say worrying about where to intern... I did not expect looking for a place for internship is this hard. Itu belum lagi cari kerja, lagi susah kot.

Then last week sis balik lagi for Raya Haji. Did you read above our dean promised to give us extra 2 days for Raya Haji? Ha ha joke on us. She told us that she never said that 😃... erm. But whatever, still going home for a week. Now that I think about it, this semester banyak gila cuti. Every 2 weeks balik rumah which is rare for me..

And now that we are here, I still have lots of things to do but me, being me is doing what I do best - procrastinating 😌

Enough about that, I want to share with you the things of the month. Sis tak tahu nak panggil apa but, yeah...

Music of the month

• Darkside - Alan Walker; Au/Ra; Tomine Harket
• Solo - Clean Bandit ft. Demi Lovato
• I'm a Mess - Bebe Rexha

haa tiga lagu ni la aku duk ulang-ulang walaupun dalam playlist sebenarnya banyak je lagu lain. Paired with good rhythm  catchy beat, I'm easily sway by these songs hehe. Support the musicians by streaming their songs on Spotify / buy their songs on iTunes!

Movie of the month

Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War. Yes, I just watched this movie in this month. Itu pun tengok online je guna my brother's hotspot haha. I have so many unanswered questions that I hope will be answered in Avengers 4. Hopefully, I got a chance to watch it on time lah. Cerita dah basi with lots of spoilers lying around, sis baru nak tengok...

By the way, I didn't watch Munafik 2. I heard lots of good reviews for it. What do you think? Have you watch it? I don't have a gut to watch it hehe sis memang tak minat cerita horror ni. Gore I can handle, but horror um, no please...

Tv shows of the month

• Game of Thrones - currently watching season 5. Yes, another famous amous tv show but I just start watching it last week. In a week I have almost finish 5 seasons. Laju kan... that's what I do during my free or not free time.
• Meteor Garden - episode 19. Stopped watching because the apps that I use to watch it takde subtitle for the next episode, so terpaksa la sis stop sekejap sementara nak download dari kissasian.

Games of the month

• Alice in the Mirrors of Albion - I have been playing this game everyday since I downloaded it. Best gila, I assure it. It is quite s*ck bila kena tunggu for the energy, but I usually buat benda lain to make me forget about it. So bila I open the game, eh dah penuh energy ha gitu. Basically this game is like detective game but just finding clues and arresting criminal. For me quite fun lah. Sis bagi 8/10
• Zombie Hunter - I just start playing this game, and it is fun! It's basically as the name suggest. A shooting game of zombie hunter.

These are mobile games, by the way. Sis tak main game kat dalam pc or laptop... And also these games don't require internet connection - which is a plus!, unless for updates lah. 

I did not read any book or watch any anime this month. I am too busy filling my time with all of the above hehe. But I want to finish my book that I have been reading since forever soon. Please give me some motivation to finish it 😓

Selamat Hari Merdeka yang ke-61! 🎉

Well, it's night right now but never too late, right? Right.

Happy Independence day, Malaysia. I am proud to be a Malaysian. But that's about it. I have sooo much to say about Malaysia, but I think it is best to keep it to myself and my friends only 😊

Tomorrow will be a new month with addition of SST. Yeay 😃 It was good while it last.

How did you celebrate your Merdeka? Pergi perarakan di Putrajaya tak? I'm still stuck here in uni, so I just do some notes for my quiz je lah...

- - - - - -

I was so surprised when I open my blog today and see that I currently have 494 followers! Thank you so much for following this blog 😭 I haven't update in a month but still, you follow me. I appreciate it so much 💘  I haven't get a chance to follow you back, as my friend tadi ajak makan pula. So I will follow you guys back as soon as I publish this entry.

I have promised that I will do giveaway when I reach 500 followers, right? Let's keep that number up ⇧ hehe

How was your August? Is it any fun? Did something productive?

Until I write again,

Things I have watched (2018 so far)

Assalamualaikum

I have been wanting to make this kind of post since in May tak silap. Siap ada buat draft lagi kau. But since I had watch too many things in the past (almost) 7 months, I can't possibly list all of them, right? Actually I can, but I'm not that rajin right now. Hehe. By the way, I will be having MUET exam tomorrow - for reading, speaking and listening papers. So, this is a way for me to improve my language while I have something to write for my blog hihi

I had wrote this list back in May, so I'm just going to add what I have watched in these 2 months. Also none of these are horror because I'm weak.


So far, I have finished 20 movies, 10 anime and 2 tv shows approximately. This list is in no particular order. I just list based on what I downloaded this year hehe.

Movies: 

• The Villainess (korea) 
• The Swindlers (korea) 
• Yesterday Once More (china) 
• Mr. pride vs Ms. prejudice (china) 
•  Forever young (china) 
• One week friends (japan) 
• The 100th love with you (japan) 
• Battle royale (japan) 
• My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday (japan) 
• Teiichi No Kuni (japan) 
• Clover (japan) 
• F the prom (usa) 
• Jumanji 2: welcome to the jungle (usa) 
• What happened to Monday (usa) 
• Ready Player One (usa) 
• The Greatest Showman (usa) 
• Pitch Perfect 3 (usa) 
• Game Night (usa) 
• Black Panther (usa) 
• When We First Met (usa)

Mind you, I’m very picky when it comes to Korean – either it’s movies or drama. But now I am so in love with Korean movies with a pinch of plot twist. This is because Korean plot twist is amazing! ✨

Most of the Japanese and Chinese movies are romance except for Teiichi No Kuni and Battle Royale. When I want to watch Japanese movie, I got to find the mood to cry first. Their romance movies are so sweet and sad. There has to be a sad scene in a movie. And me being weak to feeling, bawling my eyes out 😭

Anime:

• Violet Evergarden 
• Tanaka-kun wa itsumo kedaruge
• Boku no Hero Academia (season 2) 
• Code geass (season 1&2) 
• Kabaneri 
• Gokukoku no Brynhildr 
• Magi (season 1&2) 
• Owari no seraph 
• Gate Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (season 1&2) 
• Golden Time

Violet Evergarden is so good! The movie is out now but I haven’t got a chance to watch it yet. If you need any reason to cry, this is it. I assure you will cry on every episode. Because I did.

Gold Time is such a sweet story. It left me wanting more after I finish it!

 Tv Shows:

• The Good Doctor (season 1) 
• Stranger Things (season 1&2)

If you notice, I didn't include any Korean drama. Yes, everyone loves it but I'm sorry it's just not for me. I do not have the patience to watch a hero and heroine being lovey dovey or the conflict to unravel at the end of the drama. I watched 4-5 episodes of them but then nuh- uh. You lost me. But you can recommend me something to watch. Maybe it will change my mind and perspective towards Korean drama 😊

- - - - - 

I totally recommend watching all these things I have listed. I enjoyed the time spending watching these things. Most of these I watched during semester break, but there are some I watch when I want to take a little break from uni hehe

Have you watch any of these?

What are your thought on them? And also, recommend me more things to watch please!

Until I write again,

Assalamualaikum.

July dilemma

Assalamualaikum

First of all, I want to tell you that I'm one of the MUET candidates in this second session. The reason I didn't take MUET in the first session is because I was not ready yet. But now I am ready. Well, hopefully. But all in all, I have done my speaking test on 10th July - which is last week.

 I would like to share a little bit of my experience in taking speaking test last week. My test was at 11 a.m. but we departed from college at 6.30 a.m. Which means I have almost 6 hours to spare. Kalau balik Selangor dah sampai + boleh tidur 5 kali ni 😁 I'll put it in bullet point to shows you the flow 👇

• 6.30 a.m. : departed from college - tapi bukan on time pun. Biasalah janji Melayu
• 7.20 a.m. : arrived at facility. Then the 7.30 a.m. candidates were moved to quarantine room.
• 7.30 a.m - 10 a.m. : lounging in the provided room. main game, makan, revise sikit
• 10 a.m. : dah kena masuk quarantine room. during this time we were told who are going to be in our group. Each group consist of 4 people. I was blessed to be in the same group as my coursemates. Masuk air pulak tu kan haa memang syok lah nak communicate with each other.
• 11 a.m : we were the first group untuk group petang. So we get to be the first to know what was the second question of the day.

During the test:

I was blessed again because I was candidate D. Which means I got a long time to prepare myself whilst my friends presenting their points. The first time I saw the question, it was not surprise me as we knew the question for afternoon session is going to be tough. Every sem memang soalan group pagi senang kemain, sampai kat group petang hmm. I don't know if it's my uni atau semua macam tu.

But regardless, I managed to tackle the question - or I hope I did... The interaction between four of us during Task B also not bad lah.

Alright, enough about MUET examination. Let's moving on...

This month we were given a talk about how to apply for internship. And to be honest, I'm still in dilemma of where to apply them. We were suggested to apply for the best 5 companies  for the first time. I have chosen one, but the others I haven't figure those out yet.

The struggle of before internship is doing the resume. Until now I haven't complete my resume yet. This is because I'm worrying about my lack of professional experience. If there's one thing that I regretted not doing during semester break is working. Either part time or full time. To those who are still in uni, please get a job experience if you still have time okay. I was told that companies value those who have working experience. For a non-experience like me, it's a struggle as I decide on what should be on my resume.

I just hope my resume is enough to catch HR's eyes despite my lack of working experience 😂 Let's all pray for me to land on an internship and next get a job (insyaAllah)

How are your July going? Is it good or vice versa?

Until I write again,
Assalamualaikum

Comfortable clothing

Assalamualaikum

Happy Eid Mubarak!

On 5th Syawal, my family and I – except my sister because she’s working – went to send off my dad at KLIA2. It was my first time going out m=of my comfort zone by wearing jubah to go out. The reason is, before that we went to my cousin’s open house and I’m too lazy to change my outfit. I grab my purse and phone and then I’m out.

Never in my life I went anywhere other than open houses or classes wearing jubah or baju kurung or just wearing anything with skirt in general. I’m trousers/jeans/slack kind of girl. It was my first time and surprisingly I feel very comfortable.

Before this, I would think about of people’s judgment on my outfit. It’s unhealthy, but it’s the way I am. Always being thinking about what people will think of me.

Now that I’m 20, I just think about myself more. I was like, “lantak lah orang nak cakap apa pun.” Ignore them all, that’s what I do best. Some people can’t think like that. They have their own insecurities, and that’s okay because you’re going to outgrow them.

Nowadays, I feel uncomfortable when wearing close-fittings clothes. I’d choose slack and palazzo over jeans any day. I feel it limited my movements and makes me claustrophobic – is that’s the right analogy. The thought that I attract the eyes of men’s also one of the reason. Not to judge anyone, this is truly what I feel about myself. The more flowy the clothes are, the more comfortable I am. The better mood I’m in. And you don’t want to see me being moody.

That’s it, I guess. I want to share with you some of my thought while wearing jubah in public. I hope I can encourage those who are hesitating to wear our traditional clothing in public. But make sure kena tempat lah. Nanti plan nak bungee jumping, pastu pakai baju kurung. Tak ke pelik nampaknya tu? Haha.

The jubah was bought by my uncle when he went to Makkah for umrah. By the way, if you guys have or know any shops that are selling cheap jubah or abaya, do tell me please! A girl need a wardrobe change haha

Happy Eid Mubarak!

Until I write again,
Assalamualaikum.
