📖 Story of Me

Assalamualaikum and hello :)

Here we are in the last month of 2019. I’ve gone through so many ups and downs this year both good and bad situations. I’m also in the final month of my third-year degree life 😁. How time flies! Just one more year left 😝. Finally, I’m at the last step.

This year, I also learned the real meaning of friendship. But it’s okay, my late father once told me: “Don’t put too much trust in friends, but trust more in family. No matter how big the problem is, family will always be on the inside, while friends will still be outsiders.”

A couple of days ago, I had a little escape with my sister first to Melaka, then to Sunway Lagoon. These past few months have been so busy for me, so I decided to release some stress.

29 November was such a stress + kalut day. My plan was to go back to my sister’s home at 12 noon, but suddenly my ELC lecturer scheduled a placement interview at 2.30pm. By hook or by crook, I had to stay.

We expected to arrive in Melaka by 8.30pm, but the highway was super jammed. We only reached Kak Shira’s house around 10pm. The reason for going there was her wedding, which was on 30 November at 1.30pm.

I gained so many experiences there and got to see the unique adat Melaka for weddings. It was so beautiful to watch how all the family members uncles, aunties, cousins came together to help.

The next day, around 2pm, I drove back to KL, and then we went to Sunway Lagoon. Alhamdulillah, no traffic jam this time, and we arrived around 3.45pm.

We decided not to bring our handphones inside since we forgot the waterproof covers at home. (That’s why there are no pictures from inside Sunway Lagoon!) We also didn’t bring any clothes only the car key 😝. But it was so fun!

The first ride we tried was Vuvuzela the second scariest one. Then we went for the roller coaster, which wasn’t as scary as I thought. But the scariest one was Monsoon 360! The drop was so sudden and unexpected that my heart literally felt like, “It’s okay if I die now” 😆. But still it was so much fun!

So, one of my bucket list items is officially achieved ✅. Please wait for the next one 🤩. I still have a lot more on my list to go!

Assalamualaikum and bye :)

Assalamualaikum and Hello :)

Today, I want to share a little bit about my diet. Alhamdulillah, my BMI is in the normal range not overweight, not underweight. I’m grateful that I can still control my meals. Honestly, I do enjoy oily food and iced drinks, but I try to be careful.

Iced drinks can really affect your diet. They’re actually harmful, especially for women. Nowadays, bubble tea is so popular, but it’s filled with sugar and calories. Too much of it can lead to serious health problems like diabetes and kidney disease.

I once experienced my weight going up to 57kg. For me, that already felt overweight. If I’m not mistaken, it was during Raya Puasa this year. But Alhamdulillah, I managed to lose weight and return to 49kg within just one month. My diet was simple only one meal per day, drinking plenty of plain water, no iced drinks, and no sweet or carbohydrate-based drinks. Another important tip: don’t eat after 7pm.

My mom always reminds me: “A woman is not beautiful if she’s too thin. Being too thin is not okay, but being too overweight is also not okay.” Balance is the key.

I’m also thankful that UiTM has a swimming pool. Sometimes, I go swimming. It’s a great exercise because the water pressure really works on the body and helps with weight loss.

On top of that, my hostel room is on a higher level. So every day, I get extra exercise by climbing the stairs and trust me, it’s really effective!

So girls, don’t be lazy when it comes to taking care of yourself. Love yourself and stay healthy.

Assalamualaikum and bye ;)

Assalamualaikum and Hello 🙂

It’s already been a year since my last update, and here I am again to continue sharing my little stories. Before anything else now I’m in my third year of degree and only have one more year left before finishing my studies. Oh my God! I can’t wait, but at the same time, I feel nervous to face the real world. Right now, I’m also busy applying for internship placements. So far, I haven’t received any confirmation from any organization yet, but I really hope some good news is on the way. 🤲

Okay, now back to the main reason for this post I’m finally getting my braces on! Alhamdulillah, after a few years of wanting to do it, I’ll finally get them at the end of 2019.

It all started one night when my mother suddenly WhatsApp-ed me:

"Fifi tak nak buat braces ke?"

I was surprised because she had never asked me that before. So I replied:

"Why, Ma? Didn’t I tell you I would only get braces after finishing my studies? Why suddenly you ask?"

Then she said:

"No, if you want, I can give you money for you to proceed."

Of course, my reaction was:

"Are you serious, Ma? If you say that, of course I want!"

So, the very next day I made an appointment at a private clinic and had a consultation with the doctor. The doctor told me that before getting braces, I would need to extract four teeth. Not one okay, but four! 😅 But I said yes. Before the extraction, I also need to do fillings for five teeth. After that, the extractions will be done two by two.

Right now, I’m still in the process of getting the fillings done, and soon I’ll proceed with the extractions. Once everything is ready and I finally get my braces on, I’ll definitely update you guys again. So stay tuned! 😁

Bye, and Assalamualaikum 🙂
