new year, newfound resolution.
My sister Arina was bugging me to attend this Southern gathering, organized by Ausis. I was really hesitant to go simply because I didn’t know what to expect. It sounds bad, but it’s true. However, I pulled it together and went ahead, hoping to find something, if not something good, perhaps just a little bit of fun.
The last few days (maybe 2 weeks) before I was so stressed up. It was mostly related to my decision of going to Australia without my Eddie and worrying about how it’s going to change my life. I was mostly worried that it might change me for the worse, without family around to guide me and keep me in the right path. I didn’t even know whether I can be better, because I don’t know how to be better on my own. So I thought.
Nonetheless, the program made me change my intention of going to Aussie, to a much better intention. And surprisingly, I felt calmer, and happier. In fact, I feel very excited. My intention now is to not only study in Australia but also, to find something that I might not able to find in Malaysia. I hope to find hidayah from Allah. If I don’t find it there, it should be a start of something.
I’m going to be 22 in 8 months, and I’m married. I have to change now if we were to start a family. It will happen sooner or later, and I would never want to bear a child when I don’t have taqwa. I used to be afraid to have taqwa, and actually I’ve always rejected the idea before. But then I realized that, when you have Allah, you’ll have everything because Allah determines EVERYTHING. He can give you the world and take it back in a blink. So, actually, I don’t know what I was afraid of.
Anyway, I’m very thankful that I attended the gathering. It was very profound. I had a lot of fun and met a lot of awesome cool people. Although the 3 days was short, and I felt like going home on the first night (had to sleep on a bunk bed with 7 other girls in a room and all that, yeah) but it was so much fun knowing them, they are beautiful, super nice people and super friendly. I’m just in love with the people I’ve just met. That, rarely happen, ladies and gentlemen.
So, here are some of them…
We are THE amazing people who won the amazing race! woot! hoho.
In UIA mosque. Beautiful.

I haven’t known them for long, but I’m already missing them. Weird. Really looking forward to see them again …in Aussie (or maybe NZ, too?) InsyaAllah.
oh yeah, btw, do check out my garage sale at WonderDress.blogspot.com
p.s, also, trying to not swear too much. Bad habit. Eddie’s into it too. InsyaAllah.

Genting, and LX5
Few days ago, Eddie bought Lumix LX5. It’s pretty awesome point-and-shoot I’d say. The colours are nice, and it’s very easy to use. Although, like many point-and-shoot, I don’t know how to make the flash work. It just spoils everything.
Anyway, we decided to bring the camera to our Genting trip. It was supposed to be a family outing, but many couldn’t make it as it was the weekdays. So we only went there with Eddie’s lil bro, Edzrin.
I wish I could show comparison with 60D but I don’t have the cable to transfer the photos. Will edit this soon, then. But hey, it’s decent quality if you don’t compare it with dSLR right?
Anyway, another thing I’ve missed about point-and-shoot, is the ability to CAMWHORE. yeaaahhh!
I was very excited to ride the Corkscrew but unfortunately, we went there at the wrong time. The weather condition was pretty bad. The fog was thick and a lot of thrill rides were closed. So we had to fill our time with the family rides while waiting for the thrill rides. Read more >>

My first golf event (…probably the last haha)
Yesterday I went to City Golf event by nuffnang. I wasn’t invited, of course but my better half did so he asked me to come with it. Despite the eyeliner malfunction (for some reason I failed to apply my eyeliner perfectly for three times and I almost cried because I was already late) I managed to get to Bangsar shopping Center safely with some slight road confusion and 50 minutes late.
As soon as I found him, he gently greeted me and showed the scoreboard on the screen. To my pleasure, he already put his name on the top of the score. It’s not a tournament or anything but I was still very proud of him. I never thought a golfer could turn me on because I’m more into rough stuffs like rugby players but after a few plates of snacks (I was really starving), he triumphed the longest drive and boy, that turned me on! hahaha! :DD
I also hit some darts. I did pretty good considering I had never played darts before except those toy ones (ha-ha). Eddie didn’t hit any but it’s okay. He looked so sexy hitting swinging the golf stick. ahahah

last friday night ;)
It’s been awhile since I posted photos on this blog. This also means it’s been awhile since I had some fun. Well, to be honest, telling stories and publishing photos are my favourite things here on my blog.
It was Friday and Cindy planned a dinner to celebrate her start of her modeling career. Before heading towards her dinner, after submitting my work in college, I went to Empire to get her a lil’ gift. Then, as I was about to go home to change and refresh, Eddie told me he wanted to catch a movie first so I had to meet him as soon as I can. Of course, I wanted to watch Thor with him, quite desperately so, I had to (embarrassingly) refresh in the toilet of Empire. HAHA. I wet some tissues and wiped them all over my body to feel more refreshed. Thank god I brought my makeup and the clothes to wear.
I was having a headache, possibly from the lack of sleep and hunger, so it was quite frustrating that I didn’t get to go home to rest first. Frankly, I was quite mad at myself for doing work so slow that morning that it got dragged until 3pm. I was ambitiously planning to finish it by 12pm. In the end, what frustrated me the most is that I didn’t get to wear the pashmina that I wanted on that day because it was all wrinkly when I pulled it out of my tote. So I had to settle for the scarf that I wore to college that morning. *yawnsss*
So we had our dinner at Delicious, KL. Here comes the pictures! Let’s start with food first shall we? ;p (saving the best for last, of course. haha )
Did you actually believe that? kidding! I’m actually starting with MY picture of course! HAHA. Ok, now the food.
I had some beef baocn carbonara. I know, I know, a no brainer but it was good! :D
Eddie had Hainanese chicken chop. I think it was really good but Eddie said it's just okay. Then again, I hadn't had much of chicken chop.
