Hidden Treasures, For Sure.

You can probably figure out what I have in stall for you.

During the previous short semester break, I was assigned to do a culture journal of anything that I fancy. It can be about anywhere at all and I was dreaming to go somewhere I've never been before.. Santorini! It's pretty much in my must-go places list, definitely. However, I'm pretty much skint (since forever) and I'm saving for something else (future wedding, hello!) so I settled with visiting a quaint city off coast of Borneo. Luckily enough, I have a friend that lives there so I crashed over at her place and drove around the island with her for good 3 days. Nabihah, you're a life saviour! Merci!

I've been told beforehand that Labuan isn't really a touristy place and how the island is pretty filled with people that works offshore and also at the countless factories nearby the sea. But little did I know, there were quite a numerous of things that the island is known for. Up for a few more reads on Labuan?

































I have tons of other pictures to share but this post is going to take a long time to load.. So that's about it! (I actually had this post on draft for over a week and only had the chance to post it up today. Yours sincerely, Queen of Procrastination) 

And I have just realised that I have tons of silly spelling errors in captions above. Okay. I just have to deal with that.

Another Kick-Off, Maybe?

Wow, over a year (nearly two) of nothingness on this blog.

Not surprised though since I am super busy (note: lazy) nowadays to keep certain things going, it's even hard to keep my life moving in the right pace. I promised myself to post once or twice per month since the last time I logged into this account, the very least. But promises are meant to be broken.. Or not. No, they aren't supposed to be broken even those foolish promises with your loved ones. It's a big fat no. But I had tons of things going on, juggling practically everything at once. I'm shocked that I'm still alive and healthy, Alhamdulillah. I've been occupied with studio projects and endless assignments, you may say that's normal. It surely is. But the amount of work this semester was indescribable. But I managed, so yay. The days when I'm free tend to be occupied with me either snoozing away and replacing the time I stayed up, letting myself dwell in unrealistic korean dramas (love this one the most!) or finish reading the books that I've bought that are slowly collecting dust over the years.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to conclude everything that have happened for the past months and years... But it has definitely been a whirlwind of everything where I've experienced both crazily ecstatic moments to the ones where I drenched myself with my own tears (normally happens when it has something to do with my GPA, go figure) But, one of the few best moments of my past years is definitely travelling to places with my family and friends, even though the destinations were just within the country. Malaysia is known for its hidden treasures. And not to forget Tiangseri Architecture Workshop, hands down! It was a week of endless killer fun. Yes, killer. Because you get all tired after the rave of cheers each night after a long day filled with activities. But, fun!

To conclude everything, I've been fine and still am fine. Just that I think I've learnt that eating relieves stress and so I've been practising that over the years. And obviously gained tons along the journey too.. So I've grown fatter, ha. So this holiday I was thinking of having a strict diet (..not) and had it all plan that I will be exercising and all. But I don't think that is even possible because Aisyah never works out or diet even. Plan officially ruined before it even started. I, myself, am a joke. I actually learnt to be content with whatever I received and achieved after striving in anything, honestly. I was once the girl that becomes all emotional and moody whenever she did not get whatever she wants. I guess I've grown a little bit matured now, just a little bit. I'm taking one pace at a time in improving myself, inshaAllah. Contentment has a close link to the virtue of putting trust in Allah. So usually when somebody is content with something, that person is certain that Allah have something better for them in the future and He surely will not let them down. Dunya is only temporary anyways, but we surely have to make the best out of it.

Till the next time! (God knows when) 



If only they had been satisfied with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allah ; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah ," [it would have been better for them].
