Super brief 'Draw My Life' & 4 years life in Canada

Lama nya tak menulis. Sorry I've been busy. Right after my 10-day trip, I had to sit for an exam to qualify for an honors. Alhamdulillah, all is a-okay now! Tinggal naik stage je esok amik sijil.

We had a small graduation dinner on the 26th of May. There weren't many people but I am so surprised on how they can pull it off in a short period of time. I smiled the whole time. So thankful to have these wonderful people around me. And hadiah also got. Thank you very much :)

Here I have a 17 minute youtube clip (I know it's a long one). I drew my life super briefly at 4:30 and at 13:30 is a sedih but sweet video clip to show our appreciation :) Enjoy.

This girl is no longer a student!

I've finished school.

Like, really finished. Like graduated finish.

Alhamdulillah, results are out and I'm happy to say that I passed all subjects.

But my graduation ceremony, a.k.a The 184th Encaenia ceremony will be held on the 29th May 2013. Believe it or not, it will be my first graduation ceremony InshaAllah. I didn't graduate from kindergarten (explains why I could neither read nor write during the first 3 months in primary school), I didn't attend my highschool (did we have one?) nor my college graduation ceremonies. I was travelling :)

My ootd for the ceremony would be an old kebaya that I adore dearly. My family will not be present on the day to see me walk and potentially do a stupid pose on stage, unfortunately. I don't mind. I mean, it would mean a lot to me to have them there to celebrate my little success but Canada is extremely far from where I come from. Imagine far. Add another 14.5 thousand kilometres. Because that's the distance. Imagine 16 hours flight, plus another 8... plus another 3. plus transit hours that could go up to 7 hours. It's a really, really LONG way to come here. I don't think my parents should go through all of that just to see me walk for 15 seconds on stage holding a scroll.

Anyway, I have a month before Encaenia. I'll be travelling within Canada & the US InshaAllah. We're going to Nova Scotia again, then to Quebec City, then to Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario, then to Niagara Falls (and shop!) and to Buffalo in the US. Excited! MashaAllah I am very blessed. I have to control my spending or else I won't be able to pay for my Europe trip. Aiyaya!

O Allah, please ease any difficulties and grant me safety in this journey. Amin!

Corelle & COACH for cheap (CLOSED)

*no longer taking orders*

Just a quick update before I practically glue my hands onto the keyboard and pen (it's exam month). I will be returning to Malaysia for good (Yeeeehoo!) in 2 months, inshaAllah. I will have a cargo shipped from the nearest harbour to Port Klang. Taking advantage of the cheap prices that I get here in Canada and US, I started this small inchy winchy business to finance my trip to Europe happening this summer. It's going well alhamdulillah so I thought maybe a good idea would be to share it here?

Mainly, I take dinnerware and cookware orders. Kindly view my Album for affordable Corelle, Corningware, Chicago cutlery, pyrex, Tefal, etc. ALL information is in the DESCRIPTION BOX.

I apologize for not uploading all photos. If you have a specific model, do not hesitate to PM me via Facebook. I also take various kinds of orders (as weird as a pair of wall climbing shoes and body hair wax lol). There will be taxes and shipping charges imposed of course. The cargo is estimated to arrive by the end of July or mid August the latest. I can deliver your items if you're within the Damansara area. Pick-ups are greatly appreciated. If a courier service is needed (for those who reside outside KL/Selangor), customers are reliable for the postage.

Last but not least, my roommate D takes orders for those who want to kirim COACH handbags. Click here to view ONE of the albums. There are several, I'm not sure how it works but you can PM her via Facebook or check out her blog for more info.

Have a lovely day!

Cultural Night 2013

We had our MCN on February 23 at the Student Union Building. Tickets were sold out! There were even people trying to get tickets at the door. Even without tables, there were some who just wanted to get in. I'm so amazed :)

I had a great time. We're a small community here at UNB, so to prepare a big event like this wasn't an easy task for us. To be lacking members was a serious challenge but we proved to everyone that with cooperation, team work and mutual understanding, everything gets better :)

Performances - I love the zapin dance and silat. Check it out!
Food - nampak nya our kek bakar (pandan) was the star of the day. Banyak minta resepi -_-
Decoration - super amazed with the backdrop (boys are so artsy!) and the kampung setup is better than I expected

Watch via Youtube:



Silat full performance:



Dikir barat full performance:

Dikir Barat is so funny! and fun! Never imagined myself performing this 4 years back.

Our hard wark has paid off. We got what we deserved. Alhamdulillah. Now we can focus on more Malaysian Student Society activities! (Next post: snowboarding and skiing).

Roses and thorns

MasyaAllah! I've seen and I've touched many beautiful things recently. From the small and trivial, to the breath-taking paint like scene from a moving gondola. The rekindled and strengthened bonds,  the birth of a new cousin sister through IVF, and many more. Syukur alhamdulillah :)

Unfortunately, while we enjoy our bread and rice, there are struggling lives out there. So many heart wrenching current news that are happening as we speak. The blood spilling crisis in my very own country, in particular. I hope peace will soon be restored in Lahad Datu and the rest of Sabah, inshaAllah. Cruel world we live in they say, but we ought not to forget its beauty and what it has got to offer.

Have a good day, everyone.
