Put On Your Confidence Suit. EVERYDAY!

“I like it when clothes have a story and I like finding things that move me somehow but I think it’s very important to not make fashion too much of a thing in your life. It’s a tool to show who you are to the world but only if you’re privileged enough to to be able to worry about it.”

—Clémence Poésy

Currently in the hotel room on the bed facing the view of the bluest blue swimming pool I have ever laid my eyes on, I should be studying but taking a 10 minutes break now. Been studying since 8 in the morning today and my fingers have been stuck on the MacBook's keyboard and been holding my black-pen-that-has-turned-to-grey-colour-now since yesterday at 2pm. It has been a very hectic three weeks for me and I am so looking forward to this weekend (more trips, more hotel rooms!) and I kinda miss home and my piano. (Daddy might be reading this all the way from his house like thousands of kilometres away via his internet browser now, but Daddy, I am taking a break now! Will continue studying after I post this okay? Hihi.)

So where was I?

Oh, about whatever you are wearing. 

Like what Clémence Poésy said, "...not make fashion too much of a thing in your life", well it is kinda true. At least for me. I never really think that fashion is everything but yes I did and still do post the hashtag OOTD and OOTN captions on Instagram but I never really think that I should be worried on not wearing branded items or wearing lousy shirts or just a pair of blue jeans and oversized tee.

I admit that I am a picky person, so I am a bit too picky when it comes to colour-blocking or wearing dresses or flare pants at the beach or to decide whether I should be wearing a bridal-gown or a traditional wear for formal events and all the hassle thingy. Some of rich people that I know (again, some!), are willing to spend for another bucks at branded stores to have new outfits to go with certain events while I am the type of person who is gonna wear whatever loads I have in my closet. It's gonna take a lottttt of time to think and pick what is appropriate to wear but heck no, I am not going to spend more bucks in my account just for another function. I am not a cheapskate but I know the difference between wear your branded items and wear your confidence.

My sister once said this to me, "Kakak, you don't need a pair of that, you just need to be confident to be beautiful. People are going to look at you and think you are pretty if you have that confidence in you. Doesn't matter if you are wearing just a pair of flipflop to go along with your oversized Pagoda t-shirt, if you walk with confidence, you still gonna look pretty. Well, not that pretty, but at least not ugly." LOL! The last part was SO HER, but I get it.

While my mom tells me this, "Let people see you as a broke-ass girl but you have a thick wallet rather than to wear all sorts of pretty, branded clothes but you only have 20 cents in your shilling purse with that tiny zip and you only have that." HAHAH! Mom is funnier.

The point I am saying this is because there are so many girls out there who easily got jealous like, "OMG! You are wearing Chanel! Lucky you!" and my favourite one, "You are so rich, you can get whatever they have to offer in every mall, that is why you are beautiful!". Gosh, stop being so dumb. That person is beautiful because she is confident with herself, she is proud and comfortable in her own skin, she knows that nobody can tell her the opposite because she knows herself very well that she will never be ugly because she has whatever it takes in her heart and her mind.

Even if you are wearing branded items on you but lack of confidence, you look even uglier than the person who wears cheap stuff everyday.

Just some food for thought for you ladies since today is Tuesday (ladies' night out. Wait, it is on Tuesday night, right? I don't know, never been to any. Yeah, right. LOL!)

Put on my confidence suit *zips up*,

Trip to Penang

DAY ONE.

KLIA 2

Honestly, I would prefer KLIA (maybe I am already familiar with everything in the main airport compared to the second one). I admit that the second airport is much lively with a lot of stores and restaurants and I feel like I am in a mall rather than in an airport. So many people but most of them are non-flyers. They came in a bunch of 20 to 30 people just to send one person to the gate. Holy what? But it is good, though, to welcome everybody and it does feels like you are in a mall, but in terms of the practicality and easiness for us traveler to find the check-in gates and the fact that we have to go through every store and bumped into so many smelly people in the airport and very packed, too, are just troublesome. Lack of signage for the flyers to go and check-in on time and the gate is inappropriately located at the back of the check-in counters. Seriously, I do not like it. And so does my feet.

As for the arrival terminal, it was a looonnnggggg walk to go the belt to collect bags and another looonggggg walk to actually get outside of the airport. Again, the signage is very poor. We were lost for like an hour in the airport just to get to the taxi counters, which is located on the lower ground. I think that was the first and the last I ever taken a flight from KLIA 2. What an experience.

Hi Penang!

It costs us RM 74 to Hard Rock Hotel in Batu Ferringhi from the Penang International Airport. We stuck in traffic jams and moved about 5km per hour and we reached Ferringhi about an hour later. Our flight was so late in the evening so we touched down in Penang when people were just got out from work and school. So yeah, no complains made.

DAY TWO.

My awesome team. Oh and I met a few people too!

Just kidding. Not just a few, in fact, A BUNCH OF AWESOME PEOPLE!

Later in the afternoon; went for parasailing!

Hawaiian-themed event

The award of best dress of the night goes to, US THREE!

All dolled up for the event. Mahalo! Aloha!

DAY THREE.

Woke up early in the morning just to get here on time before people decided to do something good and productive on Sunday morning. LOL! Meet, ESCAPE.

My humble lunch that costs RM 13. Squid set with rice and veggies. Oh well.

Went to Toy Museum in Teluk Bahang after working up some sweats at ESCAPE and I saw this guy, Napoleon Dynamite. HAHAH! I am pretty sure that at least half of my readers know this guy right here. He has a weird brother and a desperado uncle who wants to live in the past, back in the 70s just to play ball again. LOL! Oh oh, and Napoleon cannot live with his chapstick? GAHD! What a funny movie. Glad that I found him in here. Haha!

Back in our hotel room to pack everything up and leave for home

Thank you Hard Rock Hotel for the amazing stay, I really had so much fun!

Browsing through street arts in the historical city of Georgetown.

Had lunch at Kaffa, located just outside the main entrance of the airport (PIA)

Cheers to more adventures, and beyond!

Overcome Your Fear(s)

Acrophobia (Wikipedia)

from the Greek: ἄκρον, ákron , meaning "peak, summit, edge" and φόβος, phóbos, "fear"

An extreme or irrational fear of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. Most people experience a degree of natural fear when exposed to heights, known as the fear of falling. On the other hand, those who have little fear of such exposure are said to have a head of heights. A head for heights is needed by those hiking or climbing in mountainous terrain. Acrophobia sufferers can experience a panic attack in a high place and become too agitated to get themselves down safely. Between 2 and 5 percent of the general population suffer from acrophobia, with twice as many women affected as men.

                                                             -------------------------------

I admit that I am (or, was?) afraid of heights. Usually I will get this tingling sensation whenever I am on top of the building or at the edge of a balcony or high-storey corridors. My palms and my feet will get all sweaty all of a sudden and my heart beats fast and sometimes I get dizzy too. I still remember the feeling I had when I joined cheerleading team back in high school and I was among the lightest of all team members so I had to be one of the flyers. My team and I were doing some tosses (basket toss, cradle, extend etc.) and that was my first time doing it, as my team pushed my feet up to like 10ft above the ground, I screamed out loud and told them to put me down. Yes, I was that, lame. Well at least, I was.

LOL!

I went to Penang recently, for a quick rejuvenation trip and overcoming my fear of heights was never on my to-do list. I would never, ever brave enough to overcome this acrophobic feeling, not now, not ever. My passion is more to underwater world, like, snorkeling, diving, swimming or anything that is related to water or ocean or rivers or lakes or even plastic pools.

But on the other side of the parallel universe, unlike me, my sister loves to test herself about this whole height-thingy. She loves to do bungee jumping, parasailing, flying fox and all air-y, flying stuff. She is not afraid of heights, she just loves to feel the adrenaline rushes onto her entire body and so she insisted me to join for her little adventure of "be a bird" for a day. Two days, actually.

The second day in Penang, we went for parasailing. IT IS INCREDIBLY FUN! I hesitated to do it at first but I need to, at least once in my life just to know how it feels to be up there and to test myself. But my main concern was "is it safe?". Then the dudes told us that we can actually fly with an instructor if we have never done it before. The parachute tied to a boat and the boat pulled us up and the boat driver drove about half a mile from the shore. What an indescribable feeling. I flew about fifty to hundred feet from the sea level and I can see the whole stretch of the white sand beach from up there and I feel like a bird! Now I understand why people love to fly and do it again and again because it is so much fun and very addictive, though!

Day three.

My sister and I went to this awesome place called ESCAPE. It is an adventure park where you can climb on ropes with harness and head gears provided by the park and you can also enjoy flying fox, jungle trekking, doing acrobats and the fun part is the, bungee jumping.

Again, Malina's mission to overcome her fear of heights, part two. A whole new level of overcoming fears. Extreme ways.

FRIGGIN' BUNGEE JUMPING.

The ropes or they called as, Monkey Business was easy-peasy (pfft... *rolls eyes*, well not really), then my sister and I tried the flying fox and they named it as "Flying Lemur", maybe just to tell people that lemur is ten times better and awesome-r than fox. Who knows. But we had fun, flying across the jungle with 150-meter rope from tree A to tree B, fifty feet above the ground, with nothing but harness and a strong faith and some of woohoos and wees and sometimes ahhs like our long lost Mr Tarzan.

Next up, bungee jumping. Frankly speaking, I was not experiencing any nervousness, at all but I was all giddy and excited to do it! We lined up for 20 minutes or so and we witnessed many kinds of, well, reactions from them jumpers. Screaming, crying, and some of them backed out because they cannot handle the height and the tingling on their feet and stomach.

I truly understand.

Then, my turn. All I could say is that, you guys should try it. Really. Now I understand why people love to take it to the next level. Start small and then go for sky diving. But my next mission would be a proper bungee jumping, jump off a bridge or a solo paragliding and then next would be sky diving, hopefully. InshaAllah.

I love to experience new things and can't believe I am saying this but, I had fun overcoming my fear of heights! Acrophobic, no more.

Flying Lemur

Bungee Jumping (Yes, that is me. LOL!)

15 Tips to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle

Why am I so skinny and how do I stay skinny?

First of all, skinny is not a good thing. At all. Being skinny is just the same as being fat. Not literally, but it is the same. Being skinny does not mean that you are healthy. The healthy condition is being fit. Most of my friends and family members keep asking me why am I so skinny and how on Earth I maintain the weight and slim, slender figure for many many years.

You totally can share it with anybody. Tell you what, this is not a secret for having a skinny body, but you can take these tips of mine not just to have a healthy body and lifestyle, but also your mind and soul.

1) Cook whatever you want to cook with olive oil or canola oil. Extra virgin olive oil is better for a quick meal, not for frying. My family have been using olive oil for cooking for more than 15 years now and we have never using any other cooking oil other than these three; olive, canola, coconut.

2) It is a compulsory for me to have veggies in every meal I take. Veggies is a must! I can't eat the food if there is no veggies in it.

3) Walk a lot. Like, A LOT. I can say that I use my precious legs for about 15 hours a day? Another 9 hours are meant for sleeping and relaxing. That is the secret for me to have nice, leaned, cellulite-free legs, is to work those muscles out. (Psstt, ladies, you can walk around the mall! I call it, stuff-hunting. LOL)

4) Stop eating fast food. I have stopped eating fast food for like a year now but I do have my weaknesses too, one of them is, a cheat day by gulping fast food down my throat. But it happens very rarely. Say like, once in every three months?

5) Stop drinking carbonated drinks. I have stopped drinking it for a year now and have never touched it anymore. No more bloated, gassy stomach. Yay me!

6) I drink at least a cup of green tea per day. At least. Usually I take about 3 litres of green tea per day. Jasmine green tea and chamomile tea are my best buddies

7) Drink a lot of plain water, oh why, of course.

8) Yoghurt. Either pure yoghurt or the yoghurt drink doesn't matter. But yoghurt must be taken at least once a week, and I will have it in the morning.

9) Fruits intake. We never ran out of fruits, especially berries (blueberries, strawberries, cherries) and bananas. My dad will pass us fruits while we are watching TV to make sure that we eat fruits everyday! I thank my parents and God for giving me infinite of great food in the refrigerator!

10) Don't smoke or drink alcohol or taking any substances. Nope.

11) I love exercising. I love working up a sweat. But if you really hate to exercise, or don't have that much of time to do it, just move your body, muscles, just to make sure that you increase your heart rate once in awhile. Once you start to sweat, trust me, you're gonna love it!

12) Get enough sleep. Go to bed early, and wake up early. 8-hour sleep is highly recommended for you! *hands up*

13) Be gratitude. Pray. Be thankful that God gives you a healthy body, mind and soul. Never forget to say your prayer.

14) Change your mindset. Set your mind to be positive and to see things in a positive way. Be productive. Stay productive.

15) Smile and be happy with your life and your body and for who you are!

I do want to be fatter than I am right now, I want to be fitter. Meatier. But it is what it is. I am what I am. It is not being thin or fat, it is all about being a healthy person that leads a healthy lifestyle.

Responsibilities with a capital S

Growing up as the eldest daughter in my family is not always hard but when it comes to a bigger responsibilities like taking care of the households and look after my family and at times I have to take over my dad's job as the "only man" in the house are just another new level of great tasks. I really have to look at a bigger picture to have a better perspective towards what is going on and what are the actual things that I have or need to handle in order to keep my family happy, safe and sound.

I am a student and also a daughter and an eldest sister to my 21-year old little sister, like it or not, the fact that I have to be the man in the house is just too overwhelming. I am not complaining, oh God, no. In fact, I am thankful to have this kind of "hectic but fun" life, because I know it will turn out good in the future. Why? Not everybody has this so much of experience or exposure to pick up and handle a lot of responsibilities, mainly because they know they have somebody to do it for them or they might just take the easy way out to run away from facing the real deal.

I admit that it gets a bit hard sometimes, with all the nagging that I didn't do that well in particular tasks, but at least I have tried and will always strive for the betterment. I am the kind of person who believe in doing things wholeheartedly and never do it halfway. Finish what you start. I have been raised that way by my parents and it has been stuck in my brain since I was in my mom's womb. It is in my blood. It is not about being a perfectionist or seeking for a perfection but, try your best, your hardest job to do it. Like my dad always say to me, "Try your best, do your best. Never give up on good things", so I will never give up on keeping my family and friends happy and at the same time I know it will bring happiness for me too.

Other than getting the euphoric feeling, I earn exposure and gain experience from the given responsibilities, might as well as, knowing what is maturity that will definitely helps me to get through life in the next hundred years.

10 Don'ts - Food photography

My love towards photography is beyond infinite. You can ask my friends or my family members, if you got a chance to do so, how passionate I am when there is something interesting for me to capture either to keep those photos in my iPhone or post it on Instagram or delete it right after I took it. That is basically normal. Everyone does that! But that doesn't mean I'm a photographer, I am just a kid who is lucky enough to own some of cool stuff and see awesome things around me. Alhamdulillah for that.

I am very passionate when it comes taking photos especially for food. I have my own food microblogs (Instagram, FoodSpotting) so I take it seriously to take photos of those food, to post it on my microblogs and to share it with you. But, I have my own "Dos & Don'ts" on whether it is appropriate or necessary, enough, to take photos of the cuisine I am having at that moment.

Never imagined in my head, that I will take photos of the food I am having at the dinner table with my future husband or his family or with my family at a family gathering or anything similar. NEVER! That is just too much. Wait, someone ever did that? Gosh, sorry for saying this, I am not trying to judge, but, guuurrrlllll... put away your phone!

Can't believe what I typed just now. Seriously? I can't seem to digest that though I typed it out myself. LOL!

Well anywaysssss, back to our stuff. So these are the DON'Ts. Taking photos of the food or posting/sharing it to the public are not always necessary or appropriate when... 

1) As I mentioned earlier, don't take photos when you are at a family gathering or having dinner with your in-laws or with your spouse or high school reunion. Respect them, alright!

2) When your friends/family members are talking to you. How could you busy playing with your phone or taking photos of the food with that clicking sound or maybe with a couple of flashes too when they are talking to you? Pay attention to them and what they are saying. Taking photos can wait!

3) You are having fast food. Come on. Every fast food in this world looks the same, with the same packaging and taste, except for the logo or what's written on the wrapping paper or box. So, no need. 

4) You are eating Nasi Campur or Nasi Kandar? Well, you can. But, I don't know. It is just doesn't feel right.

5) When you are at kedai mamak. Usually you want to hang out with some old friends or watching football over the big screen. You know, that laid back, chill, relax mood and you just want to eat and have fun with your friends. Mamak restaurant always brings you closer to your homies. So definitely no time for you to socialize with the people in social media.

6) You are eating the same thing. In order to avoid this, you should have an excellent memory to remember whether you have posted it or not. I usually never take photos of the same food, twice, in my favourite restaurant, eating my favourite food. Mainly because it is my favourite dish and I can't wait to eat it right after the plate touches the dining table. I don't care, I just take the cutleries and start to dig in!

7) When the restaurant organized an event (gig, karaoke, standup comedy, talent show, concert, etc.). Focus on what's in front of you, participate or be supportive (like, clapping your hands, dance, sing-a-long or woohoo-ing or things like that)

8) Food from polyester box or any takeaway food.

9) Whatever you do, don't take a photo of half-eaten food or the "stained plate" picture. Such a turn off! If you have touched the food, just eat it all up. Forget about taking any photo that day.

10) When you are hungry. Of course! Duh! I always forget to take photos when I am hungry, and when my plates are all squeaky clean, I'd go like, "D'oh! No photo this time!"

Well, in the end, it is all about enjoying what you love to do and eat what you love to eat. You can do whatever you want but respecting each other is the main thing that you should always consider of. Some of these don'ts can be applied to taking selfies, too!

Pay attention to people in front of you and what's in front of you in the real world, not the one in social media. Other thing is, wait til you get home to post or share it on your microblog, not when you are still outside, hanging out with your loved ones. First, the safety measure. Second, it can wait.

Yours truly,
Malina Azman, x

Malinalism. now on Instagram

Went through my personal Instagram account, just realized that I have more than a thousand photos and is that normal for someone who is rarely go out and see the world that never takes a photo with a GoPro? Nope. Not normal. In order for me to cut down or delete some of the photos, I double-realized that I had so many photos for food. Everything that I ate or had (not literally everything, just some food that I think can be fun to upload on Instagram), I posted it on my personal account, which makes me think that I should separate it between my personal life and the food I want to share with all of you.

A friend of mine, told me about a year ago, she gave me the idea of creating a new account just for food. So I thought, "Hey, why not?". I was/am so occupied with my daily routine and trips and spending time with my family (actually, my internet coverage was just as poor as me. Pfft), so, I don't have that much of time to create a new one and a year after, here you go... Malinalism. on Instagram.

As most of you all know, I am a food fetish, but in a good way. I'm a food junkie. I love to eat and I love to cook. I love to explore new places to eat and new food to cook. I always watch cooking shows and I really enjoy it. Sometimes I tell my mom that I just want to be a housewife once I'm married because at times I just love to be at home, doing chores and just cook four meals a day and she replied, "What to do with your degree and masters then?", well, she is right. Mom wins. Again. LOL!

About Malinalism., I posted/will post more photos of food that I had or prepared with hashtags of #Malinalism, #WhatMalinaEats, #WhatMalinaCooks. The reason is that it will be much easier for people to explore and search on what to eat, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I have traveled almost about everywhere in Malaysia (and some outside of Malaysia, too) but to me it is not necessarily to take pictures of every food that I have. There are some pantang larang to that. I'll elaborate later in a future post, soon.

I want to share and celebrate with you every food that bring happiness to me, personally and wishing that you will try it too! I will definitely accept YOUR POSTS as long as you mentioned/tagged @malinalism with the hashtag of #Malinalism and I will repost your posts to share with my people in Malinalism. too. I also can share with you the recipes for food that I have cooked simply by asking for it on the desired photo and leave your email in the comment box, and I will send the recipe to you! Voila! Easy right? I need recipes from you too, so I hope that you can suggest or recommend me on what cuisines I should try to make. It doesn't matter on where are you from, we may be from different background but hey, that is just perfect! I want to learn new things by having the privilege to know and cook different kinds of dishes, especially from you bunch of awesome dudes, it helps me in such a happy way!

How Do I Make a Decision?

Playing on my Spotify: Every Other Freckle by Alt-J

Where am I right now: Breakfast nook in the kitchen

When you are trying to make a difficult decision, bear the following points in mind:

• Ask yourself if you will look back ad feel proud of yourself in a month, a year or 10 years from now. That should influence the choice you make
• Think about the strategies you used when making decisions in the past. What worked and what didn't? Apply that information to your current decision
• Try and quieten the voices around you and listen to your heart
• Take your time. Rushed decisions are rarely good decisions. Do not act in haste.
• Think about the impact it will have on others, especially those who we are closest to you
• Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Few decisions are irrevocable –and living without risk is a life half lived. You can always learn from your mistakes.
• Talk it over with people who know you well –and are willing to be honest and speak the truth (and who won't only say what you want to hear)
• Ask yourself: What is the worst thing that could happen? What are the chances it will happen? And can I survive if it all falls apart?
• Get as much information as possible. Try and see the problem from every angle, and think about every possible effect
• Take time out and walk away from the decision. Opting for some space usually brings a new perspective
• Be brutally honest with yourself. Don't sugar coat the truth or try and kid yourself
• If you have to talk yourself into making a decision, then the chances are that it is not a good decision.

Loneliness vs Solitude

Loneliness

• Loneliness is painful, negative state
• It is where we feel alone, and cut off and estranged from other people. Thus, we may feel as if we are excluded, unwanted, unimportant or unnoticed.
• We cam be surrounded by people we know and love but still experience feelings of intense loneliness
• Loneliness feels like punishment or rejection. It is rooted in a sense of deficiency or inadequacy
• It is something that depletes us, and is imposed on us
• Loneliness can lead to self rejection, and even to self loathing and despair

Solitude

• Solitude is a positive state
• It is where we are perfectly happy to be by ourselves and relish and enjoy your own company
• Solitude can help us get in touch with, or engage with, our true self. It allows us to reflect on ourselves, others, our life and our future
• Often, solitude is a springboard to greater self-awareness, greater creativity, fresh insights and new growth
• Solitude is something that we choose. It is something that restores and builds us up
• Solitude grounds us in who we are –and that enables us to reach out and give to others

Which one are you?

#MondayBliss

Hello Monday!

And what's up with all those "Monday Blues" people been saying every single time they wake up on Monday morning and post a selfie in the car or looking in the mirror on Instagram with a caption of "Oh gosh, #MondayBlues". Like, what's up ladies?!

No such thing as Monday blues and there shouldn't be any of that other than force a smile on your face and open your heart for every possibility out there and go make a new history! Stop being so narrow-minded about Monday because you yourself are the only one that can determine whether it's gonna be a great day or not.

So can we change the "viral" hashtag? From #MondayBlues to #MondayBliss? Together, we can change it. Monday is bliss. Let the word "blue" be a colour. Not something that can turn your day so bad and cranky.

So starting today, vow to yourself that no more sighing to Mondays or on Mondays because this day will determine how it goes for the rest of the week! You can change the day how you want it to be depends on your non-gloomy mood.

So I am taking my notebook outside today, just to have a different perspective, good surrounding here at The Library, located in Damansara Uptown. Blogging in a hipster cafe can never go wrong. In fact, it makes you way happier than blogging in your room. LOL! Notebook + blogging + hipster cafe + a cup of coffee + nice music in the background = TOTAL BLISS.

I have a lot of things to do today. I always make appointments or meetings on Monday morning or on Monday specifically so that you have something to look forward to the day before. My routine for every Sunday night would be checking my organizer and plan out on what will I do for the next day and whom will I meet, where and when.  I have everything jotted down in my "traditional" organizer and I could not live without it since ever. Always in my handbag and I once said this to my friends, "If there is peragut wants to ragut my handbag, take everything but not my organizer!". So you understand how important that organizer is to me. Hihi.

I love to take Mondays outside. It means, if you are always spending time in the office or at home on other days on weekdays, do something different on Mondays. Go outside, meet clients and meet your friends or family on Mondays. Let there be something that makes you all excited, thrilled, enthusiast or eager for the event. Stop making your Mondays so dull and boring. Put some activities, put your shades on and be under the sunlight!

Well let's change our attitude towards Mondays. Be productive, be positive.

I'm afraid of heights, clowns & animals -.-"

12

I believe in first impressions. I really do. I live by it.

13

I don't really have "favourites" on anything, I just take/have what's good to me. If it's good, it's good. If it's not, then bye bye

I love to go out and hang out with my family and friends. I love to just have awesome companies while enjoying good food and just talk all day/night long

15

I was an athlete back in both primary and high school (represent house, school, district and state). I have more than twenty medals for track events.

16

I used to wear braces and I hate my teeth now. I love it when I was wearing it :B

17

I am blessed with the most amazing parents in the whole universe! May Allah constantly bless Mommy & Daddy with the best of everything!

18

I am so annoyed with bad drivers, mood killers, closed-minded people, people who loves to make other people wait for them, cigarette smokes, people who doesn't cover their mouth when they cough and sneeze (demmit!) & litter thrown from a vehicle (I simply cannot tolerate with this kind of low mentality)

19

I love to try new things. I love the feeling of trying something new. It is indescribable.

Things that I really hate: NEGATIVE VIBE & NEGATIVE PEOPLE

Okay, now I wish there is tagged stuff for 100 facts about myself. HAHAH! So much pressure on what to put best! *cries*
