THAT BAG

Image
The struggle to find the perfect everyday bag is real. But have you ever had that one bag that you feel suits you in just about every single aspect? Well, I found mine at www.hieleven.com . The colour: neutral, thus making it versatile and matches with most outfits. The size: not too big, not too small, with an adjustable crossbody strap. Ergonomic for the petite Asian girl that is me :P. The design: spacious despite having several compartments. The material: leather + suede; absolute luxe. Most importantly, price: affordable! Okay I may sound like I’m exaggerating just a teenie weenie bit. But in all honesty, this is one of my fave bags ever. Let the photos do the talking. Go browse through www.hieleven.com and I’m sure you’ll find your perfect everyday bag too! [Fyi: Leather used - split cattle leather. They ship worldwide.] website: www.hieleven.com Instagram: @hieleven Thank you for reading!

the simplest method of dakwah n flourishing islam

My dad gave us a post-solat tazkirah a while ago. It was a very simple tazkirah but had a very deep meaning embedded within. so before i start re-tazkirah-ing, i'd like to ask: What do you do when u walk pass a fellow muslim (or any human being for that matter)? This is what i've observed in Malaysia: a) Act like nobody just passed you - 80% b) Smile - 10% c) Give a salam - 10% d) Scream at him/her and run away like a mad man - negligible, but i have seen it happen before haha! (early disclaimer : these are my own self-observed, un-studied, un-researched and non-quotable data. Not to be used as a form of reference) A show of hands of those who've also observed this here in our homeland? betul kan kan? ok so enough of the lame intro. The main highlight of the tazkirah was on courtesy soft skills. What does Islam mean to YOU? - well, for me, Islam is a simple and beautiful holistic religion that encompasses every aspect of human life, be it work or play.

Snaps!

Ok so Aizu and I were both off on the same day... Finally! so we decided to spend the day at the mosque.... taki ng photos!hehehe ...  but it was also beneficial cause we did end up praying in congregation over there which i haven't managed to do in quite a while due to the hectic working shifts, not a good excuse, i know. The model was terrible though, inexperienced and lacks variety in her poses. Don't worry, she'll be sticking to her day job. haha :) here are some of the pics:  Whatcha lookin at??  I really wanted ice creammm...  I like this one..  trying to look all innocent hahaha I need to buy a good program to edit pics. haha xoxo

To play or not to play. That is the question...

Ok so i'm currently having an internal conflict within myself.This sunday i have a futsal match, i'll be representing the hospital like before. i haven't trained in months, and furthermore i've gained weight, lost stamina and lost speed due to the extra kgs i put on haha don't call me anorexic.  Lemme weigh out the pros and cons: The perks of playing -  I don't need to go to work - I'm working this sunday but since i've got an official letter from the hosp director i need not work that day. woohoo. problem is, i need to find a replacement - ah that should be easy. who doesn't wanna work in ward 5 on a weekend? i'll lose weight. InshaAllah. Ameen. i'll regain my stamina and speed.  i can meet up with all my futsal mates again. The cons I'd rather rest i.e. sleep. Or go shopping. I still need shoes and a dress. if i don't go, i need to work from 8am til 5pm. i don't like futsal as much as the other sports. I wish it were bask

Latent phase of life

Image
So i've been pretty latent of late in the the cyber world, but in reality a lot's been going on. It's been a joyous past few months for me and my family. I no longer come as one, for i am officially a double being (no, i am NOT pregnant teehee!)... and no i'm not an alien. My brother and my sister in law just got engaged, on the same day, on separate occasions and at separate venues, but NOT to each other.... that'd just be weird haha.  a few achievements over the last month - i've been cooking! hip hip hooray! i have to admit it's kinda fun experimenting with all the ingredients in the kitchen. My moto - you're a good cook as long as your cooking is edible (regardless of the taste). I've managed to save more money by cooking at home. prior to this, i'd eat out every single day, and mind you, i'm a VERY selective eater... by going out, i'd spend at least RM20 on a meal and petrol. and furthermore, i'd be exposed to the very drug that

Untitled - Part 1

Image
Here’s part of a short story that i'm currently writing and which is still in progress. Initiated by severe boredom and ketidaktahunakbuatapaan. It includes extracts from the report my group and I did for our elective posting in the Palestinian refugee camp Hospital when i was in my fourth year of medical school. The "other" parts are a mix of fiction and umm true life accounts(haha!). Much gratitude goes to the group for accompanying me there. Tell me what you think ;P I had just finished folding the last of my garments and placing it into my so-called cloth for a backpack. It was a pink t-shirt, written on it “aloha” given to me during my family vacation to Hawaii. i quickly unfolded it and spread it out infront of me between my too hands and tears started rolling down uncontrollably. “I can’t do this anymore”, i wept.  Memories came soaring through my mind so real as if a video was being played in rewind within my eyes. The pressure was unbearable. I couldn’t bear to
