Not to much success. They only got up to a few lines. So something around here.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">__</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've been off Instagram except for on my finsta. I think if you're friends with me or at least with my inner circle, you'd probably already know what I go by on my finsta account. I do go on my main account once in a while to post photos of big occasions - the last being Hanna's wedding. Before that it was Japan and Raya and Seoul. Like I've mentioned, Instagram in particular gives me just too much anxiety. My heart literally beats so fast when I'm on it because I just don't know who or what I'll see that'll cause some sort of trigger. And so to save me from such, I'm just cosied away in my small circle of friends on my private instagram. I don't even stalk celebrities there, I'm just only ever seeing updates of whoever I'm following (35 accounts so that includes some friends and their own finstas!)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Which would I guess lead me to my next point: friends.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Over the year and over everything that has happened, I've decided to take a very selfish decision to really prioritise myself. In my teens and twenties, I've always always <i>always</i> been a friend person. Friend A will come to me to ask about a certain group of friends. Friend B will ask me about Friend C. Friend C will ask me about what Friend's A up to these days and if she's still dating Friend B's ex boyfriend. Yknow? That sorta thing. It just became a natural thing that I had a lot of group of friends. Which was something I loved and truly appreciated being a part of. I would usually create most Whatsapp groups, I'd host big parties and smaller lunch dates and organised game nights. Weddings were a thrill - I'd float from one table to another, take photos with one group and the other and then go to our favourite mamak after that and be part of that obnoxious group of people that joined 6 tables to fit 20 people. Do I miss it? Always. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">My 'selfish decision' meant essentially to realign what I believe to be best for me. Be it friends, be it the things I do on a daily basis, be it the things I choose not to do anymore at all. It's not malicious. It was <i>never</i> malicious. I just felt at the time (I still do, to be fair) that it was pivotal in healing and being my old self again, to take care of me. I don't blame anyone for thinking bad of me though. I can see how it'd look like. To them it could be perceived like I don't want to be friends anymore. Like I don't want you in my life anymore, that I don't care for you anymore. That I'd rather be alone than be friends with you. That couldn't be further from the truth. I never <i>not</i> want to be friends anymore. I just wanted and most importantly, <i>needed</i> a break. If it meant from some friends, then so be it. Because it didn't seem right that I was agonising about how <i>you</i> might feel and completely forgetting about how it would make <i>me</i> feel. At the end of the day, <i>I'm</i> the one living out the anxiety and fear and nervousness and sadness. Not you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This being said, I truly truly truly appreciate and love that most of my friends have totally respected this stance and have given me the space and time to be better. And for the occasional check in's and "hi!". I'm not scary so I won't be rude and shoo you off if you text or call me. I'm just doing a bit of time away from reaching out sangat dah because it's all I've been doing since I can ever remember. Stretching myself too thin by constantly doing this has not helped me in my healing and so once I realised that, I just decided to change lanes. Tu je. And if you've not heard from me in a while, it's most probably cause I haven't heard from you too. I still don't host big, big parties anymore but I do try to make the effort to go out for small dinners and lunches and as I've stepped into my 30s, it's just been super nice also to have more intimate outings with old and new friends. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don't expect this post to be read by anyone really because I've abandoned it for ages now but whoever it reaches, I hope it brings bit more insight to where I was. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Still a lot of love for everyone!! Promise. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-67321827262260007172023-06-11T19:23:00.005+08:002023-06-11T22:39:44.917+08:00A day and a cry at a time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHflyn1sr2Rw37T0R3eY1NXfDb9CvISUYh8d8855WA8R6N6XEpIlvwojzuEq8NhIDujj4Kn1OxTZc8KHzDrcm4AZA9fBMEZMoU2qY1vxcZ53Nasse7oYuhRzWzQUX7cxfg0_7FKUUmaNqvla2ECRJetUlUUl5DMDCX46Wh3TqgskCDLKoPilSD4SKNOA/s5397/FUJI%20S400%20(17).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3602" data-original-width="5397" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHflyn1sr2Rw37T0R3eY1NXfDb9CvISUYh8d8855WA8R6N6XEpIlvwojzuEq8NhIDujj4Kn1OxTZc8KHzDrcm4AZA9fBMEZMoU2qY1vxcZ53Nasse7oYuhRzWzQUX7cxfg0_7FKUUmaNqvla2ECRJetUlUUl5DMDCX46Wh3TqgskCDLKoPilSD4SKNOA/w640-h429/FUJI%20S400%20(17).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I was writing a draft for this post but that was so long ago that I've decided to just forget about it and start new here. It's a Sunday, June 11th, 4:44pm.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This post, I want to talk about mental health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For context, we'll start with my upbringing. I grew up in a wonderful typical Asian/Malaysian household. Typical being we ate a lot of rice, we went to extra tuition classes, we had a big external family (lots of cousins and aunts and uncles), we were shy with our "I love you"'s and... we never spoke about mental health. Was it a lack of belief or was there just not much conversation about mental disorders in the community at the time? We were always questioning it like it was a choice, it'll sound something like <i>"She's so rich, why is she depressed?".</i> I don't know anyone in my family who went through a mental illness but it could be because no one identified nor acknowledged it at all. I grew up with that and so I, too, never got it. Never got what it means to have anxiety, depression or anything beyond that. It just felt to me like a state of mind that you could just "get over". </p><p style="text-align: justify;">That said, I never liked saying the word "depression" for fear it may seem I was belittling the actual illness. Sure, I never really understood it but I also didn't want to disrespect the term. It was the same with anxiety. I had a friend who went through intense anxiety when we were studying abroad. There were Facetime calls that started with crying and breathing difficulties and panting and all that. I sympathised genuinely but again, I just never really got it. I could not understand how something could set off something so much bigger within. I looked it up numerous times and after reading so much material on it, I got a better idea of what it means to be anxious and have panic attacks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm having a bit of a hard time segueing into the part where I tell you that from being a mere audience to friends' experiences with depression and anxiety to then finding myself in my therapist's room as she nudges the tissue box to my direction as I stumble for words to tell her why I'm there. She diagnoses me and she talks to me calmly. The whole time I'm just dumbfounded that I'm even there, that I've allowed myself that mercy to seek help after weeks of complete gloom. The weeks following that appointment, I had a lot of trouble coming to terms of what I've been feeling. I hadn't shared it with a lot of people other than my 2 sisters who lived with me at the time. And even with them, it went unspoken and from knowing me their whole lives, nothing had to be said for them to know that I was not the same. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">If I could explain it simply, depression feels like a weight on your heart. Some days, I can feel it hover over me. I'd be walking around, driving, eating or doing a chore and I can feel my heart get heavy and soon before you know it, the feeling overwhelms your whole body and then it gets too much and the only outlet for this is to breakdown and cry. I'd always feel dazed and my only source of comfort was complete literal darkness. I'd pull my curtains together, got under the covers and faded in and out of sleep. I felt detached from work and had low energy levels for months on end. I stepped away from the social circles I was in and left social media because it was my biggest trigger. I stopped doing things I enjoyed and just wanted time to pass by. I appreciated truly all the friends that checked in on me but had no energy at all to get to them. For the first time in forever, I really didn't care about anything at all. I just wanted to be left alone. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I wish I could snap out of it and just get back to the regular programming of my old self. It's tiring, man. Being sad in itself is tiring but no one tells you how draining it is to live in between those episodes, to constantly anticipate the next breakdown. You have the nice moments here and there, I've had some great moments with friends and family, I've traveled here and there <i>alhamdulillah</i> but for now, it still follows me everywhere I go and while i'm grateful for the sweet things in life and the <i>hikmah</i> that has come out of it, I still struggle on most days. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">No one wants to be sad all the time, no one wants to go through a hard time in their head, no one wants to be tired and no one wants it to obstruct their lives and the relationship they have with the people they love. It's so easy to say to someone to cut it out, take it easy and just be appreciative of what you already have than to be grieving over what you don't. Taking yourself out of that rut isn't easy and will never be easy. It's a huge climb to being well and the path there is never linear. I was doing ok for a couple of weeks and then I fell through. It felt devastating to see the progress and be confident with where I was going only to be proven wrong just from a single passing thought.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have a completely different outlook on mental health issues now that I'm going through one myself. It's not by choice, it's something that just happens. My doctor told me that going through depression means the brain is going haywire. All the neurons and wires that were meant to connect normally are now all tangled and messy which would explain why you can't find happiness or enjoyment in the things you used to. I won't count myself as an expert but if you're going through something that feels out of your ordinary and if it feels like anything I've written here, I sincerely hope you take time out to find ways to be better. Don't dismiss it and expect it to go away. Acknowledge it and take care of yourself. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Just as you would find ways to fix a wound or a fracture, you gotta also do it for the mind and heart. I highly, highly recommend therapy and seeking professional help. I'm embarrassed to say I was a disbeliever of it but after going to one, it did a lot of good things for me at the end of the day. There are many qualified ones here in KL that you can easily Google through but I'd be happy to share with you my personal one if you'd like. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm taking it a day and a cry at a time. The other day, a song I've avoided for so long came up on my Shuffle and instead of rushing to click Skip, I thought <i>ok let's try</i>. I let the song play out and as I hummed through the last note, I switched off my radio and sat in silence. In a lot of ways, getting through the song was my tiny and precious win. But I also knew it in myself that that was as far as I could go that day. Learning bits and pieces of how to live your life through depression and anxiety is something I never thought I'd do but making peace with it and moving ahead anyway is something I'm grateful for.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>"Best we can do is to keep asking for help, and accepting it when you can and if you keep on doing that, you'll always be moving towards better" -Higgins, Ted Lasso.</i></p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p><p style="text-align: justify;">__</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is just something additional that I sincerely hope won't isolate groups of people, but personally for me, prayer helped a lot. I've watched a lot of videos on Youtube about depression and faith and it has really, really helped me understand this a lot more. About grievances, about finding the light at the end, about being patient, about instances of reward for having trust and patience and ultimately for understanding that taking care of yourself is an act of <i>ibadah</i> also. So don't worry about the stigma and focus instead on being healthier. Some days might look bleak and like you have no hope, but God is always with the lost and the sad. Know that and continue to do what you can to be better. Minute by minute, day by day, week by week, month by month. You'll get there.</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-49221653485694852592023-01-02T15:05:00.004+08:002023-01-02T15:07:56.081+08:00A New Year<p style="text-align: center;"> Happy New Year, friends! </p><p style="text-align: center;">I wanted to write yesterday but felt out of spirits to do so so I thought I'd write today - 2 days into a brand new 2023.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I didn't celebrate the new year - I stayed home and got ready for bed. I managed to see some fireworks from the balcony of my apartment and that was it. Long gone are the days of going to Curve to celebrate (remember that place?). I remember my mum picking us up from a night's worth of celebrating and the traffic was so bad that she was in it for about 2 hours. Crazy.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Ok anyway, thought I'd share here on my resolutions and just overall thoughts on what I hope to accomplish this new year and my turning 30 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>WORK</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">+ I hope to find more meaningful work in my career. I do love my job and i've grown a lot from when I first started and have met so many influential people. Above all, I love my friends from work so much and when I wasn't in the head space to meet friends/family, I still had to go to work so them being there and covering for me and essentially taking care of me has been monumental in my healing. I love them so much and owe them a great deal in helping me everyday - in both my career growth and my mental health. But back to the point, I do hope to find myself a change in this and see what else and where else I can potentially be good in. </p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>FRIENDS</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">+ I'm keeping my friend circle bit tight this year. For most of my social life (so that's from age 12 and above haha), I loved making friends and I loved being in every circle I possibly could. My friends used to joke about me being the social butterfly in the group and would ask me for updates about everyone else. Mun even once said, "Nadia, you're like Dora the Explorer, you say hi to everyone around you!" when we were walking together to class in college. I was painfully shy when I was younger so it almost feels like I was making up for the years I had no friends. But what I've also realised was that I was spreading myself too thin, perhaps being friends with the wrong people and/or pouring energy into friendships that weren't reciprocative. I guess I just realised that I couldn't and shouldn't always be the one to initiate and maintain friendships; that isn't a responsibility I'm going to take. Anymore, at least.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>SOCIAL MEDIA</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">+ Spend less time on social media. After taking some time off my main Instagram account, it has been so much better for my mental health. Like I've mentioned in my previous post, being on Instagram has, for a long time now, affected my confidence and self-esteem. So it was just for the best that I took a break from it. Plus, it's quite nice to *not* know about someone all the time.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>FINANCES</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">+ Save more money. I have to learn and be mindful of my spending habits and be sure to put savings as a priority. But also, equally, to not stress out too much about it or not let it stop me from buying/doing the things I genuinely love. InsyaAllah money will always be there for as long as I do good, honest work. Life experiences don't always come!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>TRAVEL</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">+ Take more travel initiatives. I managed to squeeze in a short trip to Jakarta in the past month and even though that was for just a weekend, it was still so great to be out of the country and experience a different culture altogether. It was a breather that was much needed. I really loved it and I look forward to more trips this year. Places I specifically want to go to (again): Seoul, London, Amsterdam, and South of France. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>CHARITY x VOLUNTEER</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">+ Be more charitable. InsyaAllah out of all my goals above, this one I really, really, really want to fulfil. To just be more charitable as much as I can and to do good wherever whenever I can. I always believe that the more good you are to the world around you, insyaAllah the more good will come your way. I have a little thing I thought of this year and I hope I get to follow through the whole year and insyaAllah for as long as I can possibly do it for. </p><p style="text-align: center;">+ Volunteer. I'd love to see what I can do in terms of volunteering. I have a special place in my heart for school kids so maybe around that region. If you know of any good start off points, let me know! </p><p style="text-align: center;">__</p><p style="text-align: center;">But most and foremost, I just want to be happy. At the end of the day, everything above is to make and keep me happy. And whatever that will get me there, I will do it. If it means cutting some people loose, if it means saying fuck it i'll go for that expensive manicure, if it means crying sampai penat, if it means spending some alone time, if it means traveling far and wide, if it means staying home, if it means saying no to somethings and yes to a lot more, then I'll do my best to get there. We owe it to ourselves to live this life best we can. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a great, meaningful, exciting new year ahead of you. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for sticking around, friends.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34-o16WITNEEc7VSYoZ4K7wONAgbu4dubQlRLaItfcj8J2wf1ph28fHOEUutxQiGjnZeJQk1VSbDz-JkvTUNYm2rPverfay82aPeJJPBOZXUBYh49n-u77m25NqDGcmjdnvL-z5jBgs4uqvfaIozxoqFavdW9AaCuFHGQs3aegXRJ6v8TxFLWxHAgew/s1280/photo_2023-01-02_15-05-39.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="1280" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34-o16WITNEEc7VSYoZ4K7wONAgbu4dubQlRLaItfcj8J2wf1ph28fHOEUutxQiGjnZeJQk1VSbDz-JkvTUNYm2rPverfay82aPeJJPBOZXUBYh49n-u77m25NqDGcmjdnvL-z5jBgs4uqvfaIozxoqFavdW9AaCuFHGQs3aegXRJ6v8TxFLWxHAgew/w640-h424/photo_2023-01-02_15-05-39.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-28510714803352538702022-12-25T21:26:00.003+08:002022-12-28T15:06:07.599+08:00Friends Who Weren't There<p>I've quit Instagram several times before. My longest stint was 2 months away from it. It was exactly what I needed and I felt an improvement in my life and mental health.</p><p>I'm currently off it. It's still there but I haven't been on the account for about 3-4 months. So I'm behind on some life updates from friends and acquaintances but maybe that's for the best. I had to make some changes in my life and being off Instagram was one of it. I will however say I do have a private one that I keep only for close friends. I have about 30 girls on it and they're some of my closest friends. Even there I've muted everyone's Stories so I only pick and choose whose I do click on to watch.</p><p>Social media has been toxic only because I'm at that age where people's achievements include high-paying jobs, luxurious holiday trips, marriage, children, etc. And as secure as you might claim to be, sometimes, on your off days, you catch yourself feeling like you've done nothing and that you're so behind. You can watch all the encouraging Tik Tok's and videos that say otherwise but sometimes there's just really nothing that'll convince you from what you've already started to internalise. That you're so far behind what is acceptable in society.</p><p>So that's why I'm off Instagram. I don't know if I want to come back because I've already made myself really comfortable in the confines of my 30-friends account. Being able to post my everyday and sharing personal life updates with friends that really matter to me (and who reached out to me when I wasn't feeling my best) is the only way I wanna go about social media these days. </p><p>I've always known to be the friend that is friends with just about everyone and anyone. I love initiating friendships and I also love maintaining it. I'm the friend that will be game for just about any hang and will drive places to meet friends. I'd be active in Whatsapp group chats and will be at every party. </p><p>So 2023 is the year I'll change that. I'll be turning 30 insyaAllah. The latter of 2022 was tough for me. Still is, if I'm honest. And there were friends who checked up on me and there were friends who went radio silent. To ease the process of healing, I'd like to see it at as a <i>hikmah</i> to this hardship. That through a difficult time, the real friends showed up. The true ones who stuck by me, looked after me and assured me they were in my corner. </p><p>We're keeping the circle small and sweet this year and insyaAllah for all the years to come. We're taking this 'self-care' thing seriously. And that means removing people who weren't reciprocating that energy you've poured out. People who want to leave our lives... we've just gotta let them miss out. </p><p>xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-72720607715422120952022-11-28T16:41:00.002+08:002022-11-28T16:46:56.474+08:00<p>Sadness is an all encompassing feeling. It takes a lot out of you. It traps you; no amount of bits and pieces of joy you feel can totally cancel out the feeling of sadness. It comes back at the end of the day to remind you that it's still very much there - a big, dark entity weighing down on you.</p><p>I had a great Saturday, I went out to a birthday party and celebrated a really close friend. I had fun and had great food and laughed a lot. But I still totally crashed the night after, on my bed crying. The other day my colleagues and I were laughing about something so hard and so much all the way to the parking lot but as I was walking to my car, I got a whiff of a familiar scent and I got in the car barely holding it in. I couldn't drive after because I just broke down crying in the car. This is what I meant by the temporary happiness I get. It used to linger a lot longer. All it takes is a silly thought to cross my mind to keep me in check. To know that this isn't the reality I wanted.</p><p>I wish to have all the confidence in the world again. I wish to be as happy as I was in my last post. I wish I could meet friends again without them looking and asking <i>"hey you ok?"</i> sympathetically. Though I am grateful for friends who reached out and checked in with me. I am grateful I have my sisters who live with me who takes care of me. I am grateful for my colleagues who have picked up the slack for me at work when all I wanted to do was hide in the bathroom and cry. I'm grateful for my therapist who provided comfort and reassurance in the time and state of complete disarray. </p><p>And as much as that has helped, there are some days I feel like I've never really progressed in this healing process. It feels like day 1. What's most difficult for me is that I feel <i>myself</i> chipping away. I can't see photos prior to a couple months ago because it depicts a different me and to imagine myself that way again feels so odd. Some songs on Spotify will play for 2 seconds before I rush to skip it because it reminds me of a sweeter time. There are longer and more winding roads I'd rather take than to drive on a familiar one that reminds me of a person I used to share it with.</p><p>I'm really so tired of being sad. It's so exhausting to always have this darkness on your back robbing you of your pockets of happiness throughout the day. Like it'll never be for me. Like it won't be here for long. Like it can never truly be mine to keep.</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-21636008123194241802022-07-17T01:36:00.003+08:002022-07-17T01:36:34.804+08:00Who posts about being happy at 1:36am? Me.<p style="text-align: center;">This is a random post to tell future self that present self as at 1:27am on the 17th of July 2022 is very happy and very content with the people in her life.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I just got back from a family dinner for Zaim's belated birthday dinner, celebrating his 28th with Hanis who's carrying their firstborn in her tummy. We're expecting baby boy in September insyaAllah and we all can't wait to be doting aunties/grandpa/grandma to the little bean. Yesterday I was out til 2am at an Airbnb with my colleagues who have turned to be my absolute friends for life. We cooked maggi (failed at it but made for good memories), sang, danced, laughed and shared personal stories. Last weekend we were in Penang for Raya and I spent the short break with my grandparents and some of my cousins. This past week I have been rounding up some friends for a bowling party next weekend and been texting so many friends about it. I'm so excited to play bowling with like 24 other friends who I love so so so so much. And tomorrow I'm about to see my boyfriend for lunch. Everything and everyone has made me so, so happy. I'm so blessed, this life is wonderful and I'm so happy it's mine. Alhamdulillah.</p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-61203535745790938662022-06-11T15:54:00.004+08:002022-06-11T15:54:51.623+08:00My 2022 Raya<p>Hi! I wish I was a better blogger but facing the realities of work, once I come home and wind down, I kinda just want to scroll through TikTok 'til I fall asleep. </p><p>Raya's come and gone! I can't believe I missed out on blogging that. In short (ye ke short), I absolutely enjoyed my one week holiday in Penang. Raya came unexpectedly early this year, the first time I've experienced it! And that was pretty eventful in and of itself. The *content* on TikTok and Reels and alllll the captions. It was hilarious to see. It was very rushed for a lot of people who expected another day of fasting. We were all good alhamdulillah in the Mahmood household. We did go out to buy lemang at 11pm just behind our house. But the market place was SO packed, the line extended outside. It was crazy! But also I'm sure very necessary lah since some people tak start apa pun lagi. </p><p>But I loved it allllll, from start to finish. The food, the late night games, the company, the hecticness, the kecohness, the laughing, everything. It was so wonderful to see Raya in full force again. Amelia and Iman at point, got emotional about it and was tearing up seeing the house so full. I was happiest for my grandparents because they, above everyone else, missed this most. I loved it. It was the best Raya for my family and I alhamdulillah. I also went to Taiping after so, so, so, so long and that was sooo fun too. I just love seeing beraya all out and it was so nice to see everyone gathering together again. I can't describe it, I was just very happy.</p><p>I won't post many photos here sebab dah lama dah but some of my ultimate favourites. We had no theme for the first day but we were decked in purple for the second! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvP3JZA2AypRYoNm1wxdmCYHpOpF_SJwoEA_oTcDbFOsfuYBcW1LU1q8yZwaEPxkWKsbLnJrqP7RX1x3x4G4cYYW1HQIbSwM4cQz-ML2y2sbccu-U9jMymiidrqNNW_6le8o9jeS1XiDPCOio5dGRmPm6WedT_vI9hHraCYYWoMIJShUCAMGPGkfiSnQ/s4032/lemang.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvP3JZA2AypRYoNm1wxdmCYHpOpF_SJwoEA_oTcDbFOsfuYBcW1LU1q8yZwaEPxkWKsbLnJrqP7RX1x3x4G4cYYW1HQIbSwM4cQz-ML2y2sbccu-U9jMymiidrqNNW_6le8o9jeS1XiDPCOio5dGRmPm6WedT_vI9hHraCYYWoMIJShUCAMGPGkfiSnQ/w480-h640/lemang.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The aforementioned lemang buying.</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP7oClZuIeU2l_G12v7vpakyyOJPSU2DQ9uhnlHDJXHlR9lt531bMZ22Qquow0EXq-u4iR3yiaAPsZBaI9ketWCSpPcrazl4ewd8lhuKUOcxWvfyfP-EwKNSpTzhe97h7glkU75oeGvNvycxm37U82w6RoBvTiRD7G-Mrt7k2yzqC4T2DajidkZQBFYA/s4032/raya%20announce.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP7oClZuIeU2l_G12v7vpakyyOJPSU2DQ9uhnlHDJXHlR9lt531bMZ22Qquow0EXq-u4iR3yiaAPsZBaI9ketWCSpPcrazl4ewd8lhuKUOcxWvfyfP-EwKNSpTzhe97h7glkU75oeGvNvycxm37U82w6RoBvTiRD7G-Mrt7k2yzqC4T2DajidkZQBFYA/w480-h640/raya%20announce.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Raya announcement time!

Alhamdulillah we're here yet again. It's day 14 of puasa already. I'm on my menses (worth noting I got it 20 minutes before berbuka yesterday) so I'm on a weeks break. But otherwise, it has been going well. It was great that the first day of Ramadhan fell on a Sunday so it was a good start for everyone - to be able to have a day of just rest and getting used to fasting again. I think the one thing about fasting is that you wake up for sahur and that tends to make sleeping difficult. I often get super super sleepy in the office because I don't get great sleep after sahur. When I mean great sleep, I mean longer than an hour or two. Haha. So in the past couple of days, I've actually skipped sahur. I'd wake up to drink and solat and then sleep again. I've also found that eating SO much for sahur doesn't really affect how late you'd be hungry again. I ate roti canai and a whole plate of rice one morning only to be hungry by 11am. </p><p>I've been having a good mix of berbuka in and out. Here are some of my really really sedap dinners I've had. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTzHr-9TmS6cF2WWrViY8toY94GzDgN12ELb1v-i9aOskmITjUJfTQNhXcl09g_JR1Kvvdwpm9Ybn4nn_8KlJnDvAOsg70utFxVi_s3E9uYWKPsfuqOw_qoHOLFb9cY9ZsJT3kHhbOr594NEhi9wSmcAjkSMEEtjWGTVN_ip8PhGuYCXe7Xwh5gTy6rA/s4032/IMG_3333.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em;

We finally get to beraya with our families insyaAllah. And in Penang too!! I'm so stoked. It's been so long and most importantly, it's been so much longer for our grandparents who have had to spend it alone these past 2 years. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Spoilt for choices for baju raya this year but I made mine months ago so I don't think I'll be buying anything anymore. But the Raya collections this year have been pretty impressive! You have to appreciate how creative designers have to go about creating something along the silhouette of the traditional kurung/kebaya. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So excited to see what everyone will wear this year.

Always so fun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ooh! I also recently went on a trip to Kuantan with Marissa. Our first trip out since our 2014 Amsterdam/Berlin one. It was so so so fun and just something both of us needed. I loved every second. Can't wait to blog about it and show you some photos! I haven't been on a beach holiday in eons so it was so wonderful to be reunited with the sand and sea. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Selamat Berpuasa everyone! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, my sincere hope is that everyone gets some clarity and a lot of light this Ramadhan that continues throughout this whole year. Make lots of doa and do a lot of good this year. InsyaAllah, prayers answered soon for everyone. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>"Whatever is prayed for at the time of breaking the fast is granted and never refused" </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>-Nabi Muhammad SAW</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Be good!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx</div>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-38748464641926228972022-03-03T23:18:00.000+08:002022-03-03T23:18:46.210+08:00Suite 29th<p style="text-align: center;">I've just realised I've not blogged about my birthday party this year! I feel like there's just a lot of birthday content on this first front page but it's only cause I just had a lot of fun this year! So bear with it. Lepas ni, no more for 2022.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Ok! So for this year, I decided to get a suite to have my friends over for a birthday hang. We'd play games, borak and have dinner at the hotel. I ended up getting the Ritz for the night. Invited my best babes. Had a ball of a time. The room was so much bigger than what I had anticipated. It was a two-bedroom suite but they also had a whole kitchen (with oven, full fledged fridge, etc) and a study. So it was super spacious and it fit us really comfortably. That mattered most to me, I wanted everyone to feel like they could be there all night long! In the end, I had Marissa, Putri, Nana and Hanna stay over with me. Though I wouldn't have mind if more wanted to bunk in!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Ok, since it's been some time since the party, I'm going to blog via photos. I've got loads to share! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFZyxwjhP0s-xNB_e-8AGNGnhBWxwfu6UCXMS5ZFQiZx6rwB_m8VafFUpuwqqx6STEAUaqT3JjAUI_l4PvT-Bh05VNkwssomrZbbQU4Nk67G6ovQzDmklQbWhG3JVGt5ak48Q0oha2Cci-WUsVBV-eDqEH5Q7_QJSvRnUzoskV0Wu0nHscbx4P-4NzEw=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFZyxwjhP0s-xNB_e-8AGNGnhBWxwfu6UCXMS5ZFQiZx6rwB_m8VafFUpuwqqx6STEAUaqT3JjAUI_l4PvT-Bh05VNkwssomrZbbQU4Nk67G6ovQzDmklQbWhG3JVGt5ak48Q0oha2Cci-WUsVBV-eDqEH5Q7_QJSvRnUzoskV0Wu0nHscbx4P-4NzEw=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Did a bit of a world tour before going to the hotel.

We'd have different stations and everyone was in charge of a sweet/gift to put in the bag. It was like a well-oiled production line and it was just always fun. So for all the parties I've done (and will do), I like doing the same! I had sweet treats, a face mask, scrunchie, hair clip, sticker, and socks if I can remember all correctly.

I love rounding up some of my favourite people from all parts of my life together celebrating my turning a year older. It always feels like a reunion. I love my guy friends, of course, but I find so much fun and comfort in having an all girls party. Everyone feels comfortable and we get to do whatever we want as much as we want however we want. And I'd like these girls to know that I'll always have them for all of my birthdays to come insyaAllah. I'm truly not the person I am today writing this post if not for the girls in this photo (and some other favourites who unfortunately could not make it). I looooove everyone and I already can't wait for the next party (mine or anyone else's hehe).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok dah, that's it.

We flew there to escape the 9-11 hour holiday traffic. Penang's always known to be a go-to vacation spot so we're all too familiar with the traffic. One time, it took me eight (8) hours to reach home. Never. Again.</p><p>We spent a lot of the week indoors because as it goes, CNY in Penang is a lot like Christmas in the UK. Nothing's opened and you've gotta survive with what you've got. And when I mean 'survive', I mean plentiful of food and snacks at home by our favourite chef - Mak Tok. What about grandmothers and their cooking? She always says <i>"Ala this is nothing much ya Nadia!! You want anything else?" </i>with like 5 dishes and plentiful of fruits and brownies for desserts. I love her so much. </p><p>Being in Penang really feels like a time out from everyone and everything. I also love going back because while everyone goes there for a proper holiday (beaches! nasi kandar! lining up for cendol! taking photos on armenian street! cafe hunting!), I'm there like it's my second home. So we take things pretty slow. We hardly go out to eat and personally I have NEVER gone out to line up for a local hot spot. We'd laze around, complain how hot it is, eat, take naps, go out for the occasional drive for a McD run or to buy groceries for the house, come home, eat, watch movies, sleep. It's the actual best. We're already looking forward to our next trip soon-ish insyaAllah.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2Oe7TSnoR1dYybNlm1HcZrs6W0FadrYMZu4qKMFqXKwhMKK2BFLvi7V1BCChuNhkdyaGMgShMtBqvr9SxpLYeaWBulbP_eYg8sOD--rQvWS1KqIBukiCwfwz5vxMyN7IQUKapZOist4MhOxQCmT9YttTS6jYP-iIHFvCkzBWI1O2GJw6B7BXhxN7veg=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2Oe7TSnoR1dYybNlm1HcZrs6W0FadrYMZu4qKMFqXKwhMKK2BFLvi7V1BCChuNhkdyaGMgShMtBqvr9SxpLYeaWBulbP_eYg8sOD--rQvWS1KqIBukiCwfwz5vxMyN7IQUKapZOist4MhOxQCmT9YttTS6jYP-iIHFvCkzBWI1O2GJw6B7BXhxN7veg=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>I've put this on my Instagram but this is the tote bag Diba MADE for me for my birthday.

They have these colourful tops that you might've seen me wear many times because it's also the comfiest thing I have in my closet. It's so light (I usually buy the chiffon ones) and airy and it's the perfect no-brainer top I have. Just wear it with a pair of jeans or a pair of white trousers and you're really good to go. I bought 3 tops this time and a jubah (not really jubah per se but something of the sort). My mum, sisters and I love going to Sam's because not only do they have great things but the customer service is unparalleled. Michael and Rachel are the owners and they'd always greet us with a "Hi sisters! Long time no see!". They also have the best employees who'd help us punggah completely just for us to see. Sometimes I'd feel bad but Michael would always reassure us that it's ok and this is the least they can do for us. I highly recommend!

But the line was unbearable so we just ordered it on Grab and it was just as good! That's probably my one and only tip for Penang trips; don't waste your time lining up for food. Unless you wanna do it for the experience then by all means but this island is hotttttt hot heat so I'd recommend you just tapau and eat at the hotel. So much easier and saves you bundle of time.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu0pSMuSA22JpyT_uXikt0ehVewR2ibeYnBb_vSS588jJIWReUegRFTUyyd-hpKQBz3LrJy5QrB8dAM_7FfVoz_sVUSU1yiy6Ml-E0lxGjpU8ej3GVrBwQ27_XAeM276USbXiCisb1OVhtQT05_dS2oPQKi64ZUd8dKnRz7exXc_KK-0k6jvixOA8RLQ=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu0pSMuSA22JpyT_uXikt0ehVewR2ibeYnBb_vSS588jJIWReUegRFTUyyd-hpKQBz3LrJy5QrB8dAM_7FfVoz_sVUSU1yiy6Ml-E0lxGjpU8ej3GVrBwQ27_XAeM276USbXiCisb1OVhtQT05_dS2oPQKi64ZUd8dKnRz7exXc_KK-0k6jvixOA8RLQ=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGBZAm1GN0i04TqbO-tuP2XLjuU6DfbYiZIns4sRZiulpelpHcTajiScekkryRlSnIwaXFG-6GbKyHR5XKQZ3kllzM31gYDzHrNvP55A-JaXKpUgOK1TJ4cdEyOqedkaDG_T0fsv5JtrElZ9N92N3kCesphkhizZdqPxkTZOsaa1jZHCyTefkCfOtmbg=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGBZAm1GN0i04TqbO-tuP2XLjuU6DfbYiZIns4sRZiulpelpHcTajiScekkryRlSnIwaXFG-6GbKyHR5XKQZ3kllzM31gYDzHrNvP55A-JaXKpUgOK1TJ4cdEyOqedkaDG_T0fsv5JtrElZ9N92N3kCesphkhizZdqPxkTZOsaa1jZHCyTefkCfOtmbg=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJOzYnHX5qFQLgTcCkFCecbihomx622Q5eOh4GQKgsjFWLEkUz-_FtW6llxQu5Z2smaniuCae-HiE1u9AZrOwkcS19Nu69GDxbHuSyEER8C9h27nYS_30Cq7xfSJa9MIIhpjDU5mldHW8SgSpzKeUZPTWx_JpmPzXHpNmCzmC14Pjf96dsUK7kcCd_5Q=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJOzYnHX5qFQLgTcCkFCecbihomx622Q5eOh4GQKgsjFWLEkUz-_FtW6llxQu5Z2smaniuCae-HiE1u9AZrOwkcS19Nu69GDxbHuSyEER8C9h27nYS_30Cq7xfSJa9MIIhpjDU5mldHW8SgSpzKeUZPTWx_JpmPzXHpNmCzmC14Pjf96dsUK7kcCd_5Q=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The light of my life.</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_3HPJ5nQCn8iYgjepr65SsEfnbcW3QpPI7Pv2DuOvhkDy3Y8bhQj8LBC0NhyECNGW4VP95bqGTMD3b7dLiHrwPAtPmd3BxIFyDj1EmvG1bRUxLzy-cz8sDfboCm4Y0dZHBsjdqM1wFmG5jQYMVSYqOks7TRbo7pbdmAaXJMffZdjLRtPPjTQJvI5cZQ=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_3HPJ5nQCn8iYgjepr65SsEfnbcW3QpPI7Pv2DuOvhkDy3Y8bhQj8LBC0NhyECNGW4VP95bqGTMD3b7dLiHrwPAtPmd3BxIFyDj1EmvG1bRUxLzy-cz8sDfboCm4Y0dZHBsjdqM1wFmG5jQYMVSYqOks7TRbo7pbdmAaXJMffZdjLRtPPjTQJvI5cZQ=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>These are Tania's buys from Sam's.

(I know I said I'd post every week but last weekend was hectic for me so never got the chance to!) </p><p>I turned 29 on the 19th of January 2022. Alhamdulillah. Ever grateful I'm still here with the people I love the most and am having a bloody good time too. Last year we spent our birthdays in lockdown (we meaning Tania and I, her birthday's on the 17th) and while that was just as nice (I had so many treats sent my way and we made the most of it!), I was determined to be out celebrating.</p><p>For that birthday week, we booked a hotel at Pavilion for a mini staycation. I'd highly recommend Pavilion, the service was impeccable and we loved the room! It was spacious and they were very generous with their room service, I have to say. Loved it. Of course, it's always convenient that a mall is just downstairs so it was easy for Iman and Papa who stayed put the whole time there. Tania's birthday fell on a Monday and I was working that day. Only managed to see the room when I got back from work. And!! I took the MRT. I always love taking the trains because it reminds me of the daily struggle when I was at Nelissa Hilman. But I love the MRT, just wished their ticket machines take cards! I'll save that rant for another day.</p><p>We had dinner at Natalina's at Avenue K. Have always wanted to try out the place so we're happy we found the chance to do so! This household loves a good Italian meal. It's almost our go-to whenever we're sick of local food (hardly ever but ykwim). The food was okay surprisingly. So many people had hyped it up but maybe what I had wasn't great? I don't know. But the pizzas were good and everyone else enjoyed it a lot. My dad who is SUCH a critic, rated it 10/10. Even put up on his Instagram Stories "best Italian restaurant in town". I'm willing to give it another go and maybe try something else on the menu. The place is pretty small and tight but it was packed! Reservations only I'm sure.

text-align: center;">And then!!!! The 19th came. We were watching a movie in bed, I think it was Princess Diaries, when the clock struck midnight and Tania brought out her present for me! This year I was practical with presents. I asked for things I wanted. Which seems like a no brainer but usually people would go "aww you don't have to, tak payah" or "whatever pun ok, I'm fine with anything!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But this year instead of wasting, I just simply told people what I wanted. That way I know I'll be happy to receive it (not that I'm not happy with any presents given my way because I love all gifts truly) but I definitely know I'll get a good wear out of it. So this year from Tania, I just asked for a pink cardigan I saw because I wanted to wear it for my birthday party. She also chucked in a Dior eyeshadow (!!) and a Nars powder, both that I loved so so so so so so much! It's making me want to go back to collecting make-up. And sweet darling Iman got me a Jo Malone perfume. She was even so sweet to say "Sorry it's the small sized one, it was the only thing I can afford". ????? Excuse me this is not a place to cry. Eeep love them both so much. Zaim and Hanis later on got me a black handbag that I'm obsessed with. I immediately brought it out the second I could haha! 10/10 recommend just telling people what you want. Down to the colour, fit and size. Heck, I even gave some people the link to the thing I wanted! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We didn't do much actually! I got sooooo much love everywhere from all my friends so that was so sweet and made me so happy. You're always reminded how loved you are when your birthday rolls around. We went for a Spanish lunch with tapas and all that before just laying around in the hotel room. I went for a quick wash and blow at Lot 10 and came back in time to get ready for a dinner at Serai. We were thinking where to go for dinner but for the previous meals, we had been going OUT of the hotel and macam not really taking the advantage of being next to a shopping mall. So I just chose Serai - good food and pretty place. I managed to get the seats by the back which gave us bit of privacy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wasn't planning on getting myself a cake but at the last minute I figured why the heck not! So I managed to get one in hot pink hehe and it was SO good actually. We always have Cecilia's butter cakes as the benchmark but this came pretty close!

text-align: center;">I'm a mix bag of disbelief and amaze that I'm already 29. I remember being at Zaim's costume birthday party when I was 5 and seeing my aunt's friends who came over to help with face paint. They were mid to late 20s and the whole time I was just in awe of them. Not because they could face paint but because they were at the age that felt so far so distant. They weren't as old as our parents but in what I'd call, <i>the age of cool. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've had a friend tell me <i>"Stop trying to be an adult so quick, Nadia"</i>. I'd like to think she meant well and that I was mature at a very young age but since I was a kid, I've always just wanted to grow up and be cool. Like independent, free, do whatever I want, be cool. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been so blessed my whole entire life; from the get go to the now that I'm living in. All that I've asked for alhamdulillah has been granted to me. In hindsight, all that I've asked but <i>wasn't</i> granted was for the very best for me. It's taken me a bit of time to get to this revelation but I'm here! I've decided that whatever was meant for me will be given to me in due time and that is the happiness that envelops me everyday. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At 29, I would like to think that my younger self would be quite happy to see where I am now. Like I've got the best family and my relationship with them has always been good and I only pray that it maintains that way. My friendships are ever strong with my closest and dearest and am so loved by the people that matter to me. I'm independent and I do things that make me happy. I've grown out of my shell and developed a bit of fire in me and some sass (something I never thought I'd have cause I'd just be too shy to stand up for myself). I'm happy! That's most important. I've had the best time being in my 20s, had the best time in college and then EVEN BETTER TIMES in university?? And then coming back to work for a for a fashion start up because that's just I wanted to do instead of opting for a safer option??? Guts.

Reporting 9 days too late but ah well.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My resolution this year was to blog at least ONCE A WEEK. Yep, you read that right. Once a week. Once in 7 days. I've realised that in 2021 I've only written 12 posts in total. 15 year old Nadia would've disapproved. So I think I wanna at least try to update here once a week, be it a short post or ones just of photos. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Alhamdulillah a new year has dawned and as always, I'm grateful for what the past year has gifted me. There were ups and downs but in hindsight, I'm thankful for all of it. It was definitely difficult what with the lockdowns and the uncertainties that we were faced with. We had a new PM, we had several MCO's, we had Covid cases highest it's ever been (in the 20k). We had a flood???? Damn. A lot. And also working in a pandemic has proven to be an absolute pain. First time round it was cute lah yknow? Like oh wow this is such a new experience! But this second time around was just.... awful. It was so suffocating and had no boundaries (to the point I'd take 5 in a midst of a meeting to cry). So penat and I couldn't take it anymore.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But all in all, I just am grateful for all that I have with me. My family, my friends, my job, my material things, my home. All that I have, I'm grateful. Covid has shown us that it is merciless and takes away so much from so many people. I'm thankful that I still have all that I love and care for. It helps put things into perspective kan? So all that we can do is be grateful and be empathetic and be generous where we can. Gotta look out for one another, man. </p><p style="text-align: center;">For my NYE party, Mun and Nana hosted a powerpoint presentation party! How cute!! We've done this before, I think it was the year before Covid. So we all had to do a summary of our year. It was just 7 of us including Dayana who joined and presented virtually. But it was the best. As I've grown older, I much much much prefer being in intimate and small gatherings. You just get a lot more out of it, I think. As compared to having a big party of 30-50. We had some good food then we presented our slides and then we played some games on Amal's Switch. It was just so fun and I enjoyed it SO much. </p><p style="text-align: center;">As for my 2022 resolutions, I've decided it shall be this; to blog more and take more photos. And hahaha I also said this to a friend. This year I'm going to look hot. Hahahahaha sounds ridiculous but all jokes aside, I wanna try (atleast) to always look presentable and decent. And that doesn't exclusively come from good hair and outfit days. But really through how confident and how friendly you are with the people around you. I've always been very attracted to people who can stand their own and navigate through social situations well. Like not to the point of being obnoxiously loud. But y'know, the cool kind. I'm going to try and do that this year to the best I can. Basically, be better. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's some photos from the night! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM7Uv3xb3UVaP6Lxvp_Z33CcbgidtesWb8VnGMidoLtGLK4cCeEqVBl-IOI4mr3JtjyrMcGlP4jiiOR2j9hDdioUsiRldDXLfvIP5Oqt89gxGBAICdC9il6VmqW4T6lKm1_9DeaDuZa-AnXmGtsJpTK70blMRlLXvVsqrMNAArGHk7nygeASaV1aYzsA=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM7Uv3xb3UVaP6Lxvp_Z33CcbgidtesWb8VnGMidoLtGLK4cCeEqVBl-IOI4mr3JtjyrMcGlP4jiiOR2j9hDdioUsiRldDXLfvIP5Oqt89gxGBAICdC9il6VmqW4T6lKm1_9DeaDuZa-AnXmGtsJpTK70blMRlLXvVsqrMNAArGHk7nygeASaV1aYzsA=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwRzfdBOMZrywFwv7Xfd-70bpvRmG23EDEcU9GQw59L98h60t-dYSvjRQlgxu034tLf2japfQXdSNsrIgH5Hw9O1SJvOFddgTDb7ZkEfwEGp9HqJZ__HlXEO8hUJrh08SkYZy5_uI5wEYqQSwUQhB3EQEyZfm0qqA1bGbfq0OEMpY3j5JK7eNIx_fcMg=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwRzfdBOMZrywFwv7Xfd-70bpvRmG23EDEcU9GQw59L98h60t-dYSvjRQlgxu034tLf2japfQXdSNsrIgH5Hw9O1SJvOFddgTDb7ZkEfwEGp9HqJZ__HlXEO8hUJrh08SkYZy5_uI5wEYqQSwUQhB3EQEyZfm0qqA1bGbfq0OEMpY3j5JK7eNIx_fcMg=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The sweetest hostesses who really went above and beyond for us.

After more than a year, I'm back in my hometown. You already know this but this island is my second home. Two of my favourite people I've ever known live here; my grandparents. After such a long year of being stuck at home, I finally got to fly back to Penang for a good break. We (my sisters and I) flew here on Thursday evening and came in enthusiastically. My Pak Tok doesn't have great memory as of late so it takes a while for him to recognise us. I said "Nadia! I'm Nadia!" and he said "Oh.... my sweet Nadia". I mean, pure unadulterated tears.<br /><br />Today was a rather fun day out. It started with my sisters going out to buy lunch, we had Bangkok Lane mee (I highly recommend!) and after we were all full and happy, we went out to get drinks. But before that, we went to this vintage shop at Jalan Nagor called Fujiyama Jeans. It's just SO cool, it's a thrift store for both men and women, a record store, and they also sell bit of coffee and film cameras! It was such a pleasant experience because the people were really friendly and their curated collection of clothes (imported from Japan!) were really top notch. And super affordable too! I managed to snag a beige sequinned evening bag and a Ralph Lauren-esque cardigan. Tania also managed to get herself a genuine vintage Moncler jacket! Love it. You have to go if you're around the area.</p><p>Then after that we drove to La Vie En Rose but we just so happened to find parking right in front of this shop called TEMU Coffee. Coincidence because I had just looked up this cafe on Instagram the night before so we just kinda got in and decided to have some drinks and desserts first before going to La Vie En Rose. We had the waffle and it was genuinely SO good. It was the topped with cream and ice-cream and had burnt bananas on the side. SO YUMMMMM. I love Penang and alllll its alleys and streets of really obscure but insanely cool cafes and eateries. So unassuming but they're always so occupied that you often had to be waitlisted or like... denied entry completely. So this was great that we had seating and no waiting time <i>and </i>the food was really good. </p><p>We weren't quite done with thrift shopping so we Googled the next one and it was our stroke of luck that it was just a 3 min drive from where we were. It's even MORE obscure but we got there in the end haha. It's a smaller shop but still full of gems. Iman got an oversized rugby shirt and Tania got two blouses for super cheap. As we were leaving, there was a rack of t-shirts outside and we spotted one that was Harry Potter themed, had 'I solemnly swear I'm up to no good" and Iman freaked out, she's in her Potter phase now. Took the tee and went to the cashier to buy and the guy was like "If you buy 3, it'll be RM10" to which Iman said "No it's okay, I'll just take this one" and he just shrugged and said "Ok, then you can have it for free" and just put it in her bag. How sweet! Iman's a happy shopper.</p><p></p><p>Then we drove back home in time for a pizza dinner! Hahaha I know everyone who comes to Penang for holiday must want to kick me where it hurts but we actually don't always eat famous Penang food like chendol, nasi kandar, laksa and all that.

Sad!! Dahlah I was looking forward to it so much and my body was in need of a massage from constantly hunching over the computer. But we had a great time anyway! We went to this place at the Zhongshan Building and it's called Tommy Le Bakers. They serve sandwiches and it was actually pretty yummy! I'm not really one for sandwiches as you might not know already but this was really good. I loved the fuss free place especially. And!! There wasn't a super long line and parking was so easy to get (and cheap considering right smack in the middle of KL) so that made the whole experience so much better. With a LOT of the new cafe pop-up's in KL these days, you suffer with both parking and reservations. And 8 times out of 10, food ain't that great and you find yourself at a McD drive thru for an order of fries to fill you up. I like just really easy going places like these. I'd go again solely for their onion soup. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFhaOsTnA9i71YWenPmY0DYrkrbqPd4t3qPVV7xopw2OHCXfbpCqP2P1i6cbrMAbJEyrm4-yNfYxVRK1QIOeSqEYUldXsyDSdmdmc2JXiKB2Z4jjqErHUGjzbcN0dNS2RwpimpUIIg-w2/s2048/IMG_5290.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFhaOsTnA9i71YWenPmY0DYrkrbqPd4t3qPVV7xopw2OHCXfbpCqP2P1i6cbrMAbJEyrm4-yNfYxVRK1QIOeSqEYUldXsyDSdmdmc2JXiKB2Z4jjqErHUGjzbcN0dNS2RwpimpUIIg-w2/w480-h640/IMG_5290.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then during that icky bit of time I had (still have, just a lot less), Fatin texted "Babe you wanna go out?

Sofea and Hidayah were my colleagues in my current company but they've left and so it's only me remaining hahaha. We used to be sucha trio, always huddling over Hidayah's table to gossip and complain. Ever since they've left, I've missed them at the office a whole lot. We went to Jibby Chow at Bangsar and caught up with each other again after what feels so long. I can't wait to see them again. These girls are the kind to always leave the night in the best, sweetest energy. The ones who always hype you up and you're always motivated to be a better person <i>because</i> of them.

She's a life changer. <i>My</i> life changer. Truly, in every sense of the word. I'm sure I've said this somewhere before but I'll say it again 'til I go blue in the face. Met Aina in school when we were 9, I had just moved from Taman Tun to the school near my house. Met her and she was the lifeeeee of the party, super popular and super fun and just kept everyone so energised and happy. I always say this, Aina's the kind of friend I'd be HAPPY to bring anywhere to meet anyone ever sebab she can get on with everyone she meets. She just has that one of a kind energy that you only hope you can one day also emulate. I say this with all my heart, Aina's my inspiration. So whenever I meet new people, I'd always try to channel my inner social butterfly energy and I'd always think of Aina. And think of what she'd do and what she'd say. She's definitely helped me to be the person I am whether she knows it or not.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6g1YBv9A9Be8XUkG3oz5jAXWRvzj0iRJjdG8r0LRl4XeZ7bmK23aMapUq3lQuWEVBAF1Y3Em4Z4B8eCiWB9d7NMs5sLWgcdToWgVrvoA62awo3vmGh2WHKU8l68jN6ymVoL48dh1uqXGo/s2048/IMG_6372.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6g1YBv9A9Be8XUkG3oz5jAXWRvzj0iRJjdG8r0LRl4XeZ7bmK23aMapUq3lQuWEVBAF1Y3Em4Z4B8eCiWB9d7NMs5sLWgcdToWgVrvoA62awo3vmGh2WHKU8l68jN6ymVoL48dh1uqXGo/w480-h640/IMG_6372.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8jj5k-dV49jW1MBCBVfj0RSDLTPUpu7hdXbOMBI171VFjANtgzri7Vql3N0wnYlDlbRTDHMWulF1Nf7yEbOninaXiL2upL4QfWqnp7zoQCFwU-O1k-2WRki6UMNUWo48XUQL8U83K6wW/s2048/IMG_6374.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8jj5k-dV49jW1MBCBVfj0RSDLTPUpu7hdXbOMBI171VFjANtgzri7Vql3N0wnYlDlbRTDHMWulF1Nf7yEbOninaXiL2upL4QfWqnp7zoQCFwU-O1k-2WRki6UMNUWo48XUQL8U83K6wW/w480-h640/IMG_6374.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyYdgr0yRI6btWLyIIgXcsMo_QQMf81edvwrV6WPhJ-dOhyphenhyphencrW7VwOEUGE_6dLpF2Hx8fbRc91-YHI0iYwl82CSKyo-WXPQU4pJSGiOwUn6j4me7FFGE0MO1HmvrabN6F_Tz-xgyzLFde/s2048/IMG_8564.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyYdgr0yRI6btWLyIIgXcsMo_QQMf81edvwrV6WPhJ-dOhyphenhyphencrW7VwOEUGE_6dLpF2Hx8fbRc91-YHI0iYwl82CSKyo-WXPQU4pJSGiOwUn6j4me7FFGE0MO1HmvrabN6F_Tz-xgyzLFde/w640-h480/IMG_8564.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just last Sunday, I finallllyyyyy went out with Amal and Fatin. I mean, I met Fatin recently but Amal I haven't met in AGES! So I was just so happy to be able to spend time with her over lunch. After lunch I sent her home but I decided to stick around at her place for the next 5 hours! Hahahah. If you know me, you know I love and appreciate house hangs. It's just infinitely times better because 1) You're not pressured to leave your table when the queue is crazy outside 2) You have a dependable, clean toilet to go to 3) You can hang however you want, I basically laid down on her couch the whole time sipping on rootbeer and eating doughnuts that I randomly ordered on Grab. It was the best!!! Makes me miss the times where we'd go over each others chalet and just borak the whole time. It was mostly Amal coming over to my room lah but still. Love you both to bits and pieces and then into smaller bits and pieces.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">___</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thought I'd pen it down here too. But the other day, my office had a training session conducted for us. They'd invited instructors over and in the second session, there was this lady. She was 56 but looked nothing above early 40s. She was absolutely wonderful. I rarely get struck by someone's energy but that morning, I was just in awe. She was so inspiring, her whole energy was contagious and I couldn't get over it. She told us straight up <i>"Honey, live your own damn life! Don't worry about what people think. Spend on whatever you want! So what? You'll make more money after that right? Do it! Life's short, go enjoy"</i> and even though that's all generic life advice you've all heard before, you just know that to her she holds these principles in her life so dearly and it shows in the energy she had. She left just before lunch and I kinda went "<i>aww shucks, wish she stayed on longer</i>" and I realised damn, how great is that? To have people want you there with them for a while longer because they love you. I had never met her before then but I already felt like I'd love to tell her all my problems and she'd give me the best advice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At the end of the work day when my colleagues and I were in the lift to go to the carpark together, I just noted that I really enjoyed that training session and loved the lady so much and my senior just turned to me and said "<i>Yeah I get that because she really reminded me of you"</i> and I was just.... so flattered and taken aback. This whole time I had looked up to this lady and made a mental note to be more like her when I grow up and to think some of the girls in the office already think of me like that made my whole week, month, year. Heart's full alhamdulillah.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope everyone gets to meet someone they're inspired by. Someone who makes you feel motivated to be better in life. And if you haven't lately, I think you should exercise your right to be that person to someone else anyway. Life's so precious and we're all living on borrowed time so the best thing you can do is wake up everyday and spend it in service to yourself. InsyaAllah that will have a domino effect on the people around you. We never lose out from being nice, helpful, and generous so go do it everyday. It'll come back to you in multiple folds insyaAllah. Trust.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx</div><p></p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-84549543725419439202021-10-10T14:43:00.007+08:002021-10-10T19:31:23.122+08:00Trust<p style="text-align: center;"> It's 10.10.2021 today. We're in October already! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Adele's about to come out with her new single next week so I'm on an Adele binge on Spotify now to prepare myself for the absolute feels she's about to have us all on.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I've been doing ok. There have been some really fun evenings and then there have been sad, quiet mornings for me. But I suppose that's just how we all go through things. Not one person has gone through 100/100 perfect days. And I've learnt that instead of forcing yourself to get over it, the best way about it is to welcome and embrace that and live <i>through</i> it. The more you tell yourself to get over it, the more you're actually thinking about it kan? So just take it in, be one with it, acknowledge it and live with it. It's only going to help you move on.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I won't indulge in the juicy details (or lack thereof) but I will just say that I'm always very grateful for everything that has happened and the people I've met along the way. There have been times when I was younger where I'd cry over things that didn't go according to plan and thus was "the end of me" (dramatic) but now I can hardly remember what those things were. And if I'm really looking at it optimistically, those things just... pass and I was on to my next best thing. I was so sad I didn't get the grades I wanted for SPM but I managed to pull through and get into KYUEM. Part of me thinks that if I had excelled, would I've been chucked into a different school instead? I was sad I didn't get to go to London for school but I got into Bristol instead and it turned out to be the best thing for me. If I had gone to London, would I have had a better experience than the one I had in Bristol? If I had decided to go for a "better" job than interning at Nelissa Hilman, would have I met a better friend than Anis is to me? Would I have met the people that are so dear to me if not for the missed opportunities? All that initial heartbreak and pain had to happen in order to bring me the happiness that came in ten fold right after. The magnitude of that joy that followed made the initial sadness of the closed door seem so negligible.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So as I weather through this icky stupid feeling, I'm trusting God as I have always that He's looking out for me. My biggest comfort is that the person who loves me most in this world is my mum. And God loves me infinitely more than my own mother. Would mama put me through something she knows wasn't the best for me? No. So what more God. I trust and I trust and I trust. All good things await for me and all things bad are distanced far from me. For as long as I do right by God and I continue praying and I continue to look for Him for answers and comfort, insyaAllah I'll be put in His greatest care. Our doas are always answered in our best interest. For when you are moved to make a doa, insyaAllah that is His sign that your doas will be answered for He won't make you beg for something that He won't give in His own good timing. You just gotta trust and insyaAllah I'm trusting and believing that all that is meant for me will find its way to me soon. <br /><br /><i>"Let time be patient. Let pain be gracious"</i></p><p style="text-align: center;">And with that I'm going to live my best life and enjoy every bit as it comes. Acknowledge and welcome the sad evenings as much as I embrace the exciting start of mornings. It's the only way I know how.</p><p style="text-align: center;">A dear friend told me this quote to which I've learnt to internalise slowly:<br /><br /><i><span style="color: #f868ab; font-size: medium;">You can't force someone to see that you're a blessing,<br />you just gotta let 'em miss out</span></i></p><p style="text-align: center;">So here's to the ones missing out.</p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-46477618657950581222021-08-22T22:06:00.006+08:002021-08-22T22:19:21.924+08:00another weekend <p></p><div style="text-align: center;">It's a Sunday evening. I have the Southampton - United game on and while I watch that, thought I'd blog about whatever I can think of. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Read somewhere that said <i>"In 4 months time, 2020 would've been 2 years ago"</i> which absolutely blew my freaking mind. HOW! We've lost most of this year to Covid, unfortunately. It's almost been about 3 and half months that I've been working from home though I do remember my company taking a couple weeks off earlier on too. It feels like forever. I finally bought myself a foldable desk - the one you'd prop up on your bed. I don't have a desk in my room because the last one just became tempat letak all the junk and it was too much clutter so I took it out. So now for most of the day, I work on the floor, cross legged with a cushion to support my back. I can't wait for massage parlours to open up, I need that body cracking sesh stat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Actually, I can't wait for SO many other things to open. Nail parlours, cinemas, badminton courts (for more than just singles!), mamak's, you name it, I miss it! I went into this year with shoulder length hair. Now it's so long, frazzled and untamed. Dine in's have started to open up though not for every restaurant. I really respect that though! I saw that Kenny Hills have decided to remain open only for take outs and deliveries which I think is a great move considering that we're still high in our daily cases. I do take comfort however that a good majority (like 98-99%) comprises of stage 1 & 2 cases. So, cases that are either asymptomatic or with very light symptoms. Alhamdulillah. Numbers may seem scary on the surface but I think if we were to look at it closely, it's quite hopeful and optimistic to see that serious cases have been on the low. Still though... death is a death is a death. It's still a loved one to someone and that's never been lost on me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">____</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another work week ahead of us. Last few weeks have been pretty tough and busy but I managed to power through, with some tears and LOTS of cursing in between. I pray it'll be a relatively easier one this week. This weekend I didn't check any work texts nor attended to anything work related. I just took naps, watched movies, texted a bunch of friends and ate a whole lot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's already the 22nd of August! Phew. Looking forward for the end of this damn virus already.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bye, talk soon. Take care, eat vitamins and most importantly, stay home! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><p></p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-73297879883189881572021-07-25T22:18:00.012+08:002021-07-25T22:18:55.628+08:00Sundays<p></p><div style="text-align: center;">It's a very chilled Sunday. We're all in our rooms, either lying down or watching something on Netflix. Iman is actually sitting for her finals now and I've always found it bit odd that UiTM has exams/classes on Sundays! Surely that can't be right.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm watching the Artistic Gymnastics qualifications on Sooka now. I love watching this sport, it's so fantastic how the body can bend and balance hahaha am trying to watch Farah Ann but cameras haven't shown her yet! I'm watching on the Sooka app and I've been keeping track of events via the Olympics app. I also really love that TikTok has been so pivotal for updates because we have athletes who show the Olympic Village there too. It's soooo cooooooooool ugh there's just something about the really really talented and the really really skilled coming together for an event to represent their country. Like I just think you cannot get any cooler than that. That's why I love the World Cup so much. A team sport and even if you're an individual competing like many of our Malaysians there, they have the whole country behind them! I'm telling ya, nothing unites a country more than defending the local delicacies and for supporting a sportsperson. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In Covid news, we are at 17k cases today...... even when a majority of the country is on lockdown for more than a month now. Sigh. The only thing keeping me going is to see the vaccination rates going strong in recent days. We did 500k a day on Wednesday I think and that's commendable, I have to say. In the family, all of us have been vaxxed once and 5/7 are fully vaccinated alhamdulillah. Iman just did hers yesterday and so it's just my dad and her that's left with a second dose appointment soon insyaAllah. I'm also very happy to know that all my friends are all at least half vaxxed. Like I said, am not friends with anti vaxxers haha.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKhD8c05FZ9EhxpkFmIKPebflduP93lhr4sEmLgSUs1wq7BWbtBd1VLozyv1atBq6X7e_9G_HJ2nTS2g6jDo-Av6EcC58DJzu18uP8CxH5W6l0sflHz9pzdoA68woFEfbzqnB5umA2GLk/s2048/IMG_2718.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKhD8c05FZ9EhxpkFmIKPebflduP93lhr4sEmLgSUs1wq7BWbtBd1VLozyv1atBq6X7e_9G_HJ2nTS2g6jDo-Av6EcC58DJzu18uP8CxH5W6l0sflHz9pzdoA68woFEfbzqnB5umA2GLk/w480-h640/IMG_2718.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwTmv5BzUt3HR4lZ069i-EZeDBtVn-v6tXF6igCZ3o71qv-xLNmdR6D3a_cvBJ5fuKH51ogAmPeq9ppyTDg1pa_rv2Br-Fxr357SVRTaAhe6210fyn0QQQnI2bJkH0f_qjm2jHAjxbiWl/s2048/IMG_2704.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwTmv5BzUt3HR4lZ069i-EZeDBtVn-v6tXF6igCZ3o71qv-xLNmdR6D3a_cvBJ5fuKH51ogAmPeq9ppyTDg1pa_rv2Br-Fxr357SVRTaAhe6210fyn0QQQnI2bJkH0f_qjm2jHAjxbiWl/w480-h640/IMG_2704.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Really just so excited and almost nervous (??) to go out again and meet friends and have outside food that isn't in a takeaway package. Y'know, just simple things! I miss the office and my colleagues! And our 5pm McD teatime. Such a different feeling compared to the last lockdown... at the time I was very much comfortable working from home and even resisted going back to office because I thought it was too soon. Now I'm just counting the days for us to go back working in a NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. Hate that home has become work. The government's about to announce some special privileges (if you can even call it that) to those who are fully vaccinated so I'm hoping that's soon enough and I'm also hoping people don't abuse it and cause another spike in cases. I just miss being around other people!! Texts and video calls won't cut it anymore, not natural for us to be connected virtually. I need them hugs!!!!!<br /><br />We spent out THIRD raya (both Aidilfitri and Aidiladha) at home. We got to spend Raya Haji in Penang last year but unfortunately we can't spend it with them yet this year. Both my grandparents are vaxxed alhamdulillah and I miss them loads. First place we're going is to visit them and give them big hugs and kisses. Our Raya Haji was simple, Mama cooked some food that lasted us two days for all meals haha and we just took some photos outside. Zaim and Hanis didn't join us and it was for the best - we'd all prefer if everyone's double vaxxed before they can come over again. You just never know with this new variant. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEherv4_YSjEgjDPeOmoOKYXAtaJeasyKimyOryI6IXKb3WDXjp90YFh_hbGk2D8Y-pGQaI5uIX4Z-o0ApZVft79pipnL47Z_XQQPKmdM3QkBnhu6wLhuBGC0n2nRQo8DNdkWLqjAqvQrOVl/s2048/IMG_2842.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Anyone who knows me knows that I love the college so much, I'd do anything to go back. It was my home of two years but the friendships I took home have gone on for 10 years today and counting insyaAllah. I found some of my most perfect friends, some so close to me I consider them family. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I knew this year would be our 10 years anniversary from when we first stepped into college so I took my time looking through many, many photos and videos in my hard drive from my days there. I had this chunky Olympus camera with me that I loved so, so much and I brought it everywhere! For every event and everything! I'm so happy I lugged it along because at the time, Blackberry was the in thing so as you can imagine, photos were non-existent and even if there were any, it'd be grainy and chaotic. But to be honest, some of my favourite photos were those taken by the Blackberry because they'd usually be the photos that were very candid and of moments that you can't help but whip out whatever you had with you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My friends know I love them so I won't go on here also, just thought I'd write to commemorate the day. 10 years and counting, insyaAllah. Truly, truly blessed. I'm always truly blessed, very thankful for my friends, for the college, for the experience and most importantly for my parents who listened and gave me the experience to begin with. Wouldn't be the person I am without the people I met along the way. Wouldn't be the person I am without the schools that I went to, from primary all the way to university. I loved it all. Just thought it was so surreal that it's 10 years since I stepped into college. Crazy!!<br /><br />Today's also a wonderful reminder to always remember to take more photos. It sucks that we've practically be indoors for the most of the past year and a half but insyaAllah once it settles, we'll be right back at it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjsWtDkdkfXegsDqzZyBbCD9krNzMnWIxn5i5MGiLZQPGQ_GRrqCiFUtg2SWITIaCNDYRYWJozzbLkCRAaQG5l3YmCWfzWqliqsw1uM2GvMs7M7_eh0ZQT0Ra1XFWPkWBrBBQVTRyHdTp/s1280/IMG_2021-07-13+22%253A47%253A29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjsWtDkdkfXegsDqzZyBbCD9krNzMnWIxn5i5MGiLZQPGQ_GRrqCiFUtg2SWITIaCNDYRYWJozzbLkCRAaQG5l3YmCWfzWqliqsw1uM2GvMs7M7_eh0ZQT0Ra1XFWPkWBrBBQVTRyHdTp/w640-h480/IMG_2021-07-13+22%253A47%253A29.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEici4GvmTIBRQS87jIU0DM73qGRNceCNPEgw4Kv7SCMaVqAHtnaaA3YrlYOiyCMW-4e4j6LRfxkbAtgZtLm5r5KHg6h0t6T7FtPrxIi7Gmia88WAW-Cm51Tf5JdiOMsPtBVTSS9-SVrn8YF/s1280/IMG_2021-07-13+22%253A53%253A48.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEici4GvmTIBRQS87jIU0DM73qGRNceCNPEgw4Kv7SCMaVqAHtnaaA3YrlYOiyCMW-4e4j6LRfxkbAtgZtLm5r5KHg6h0t6T7FtPrxIi7Gmia88WAW-Cm51Tf5JdiOMsPtBVTSS9-SVrn8YF/w640-h480/IMG_2021-07-13+22%253A53%253A48.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dear KYUEM, you were my first and perhaps only choice of college. I heard about you when I was 15 and ever since then, that's all I wanted. For whatever reason, I just had to go. Something about it just compelled me to work hard for it. So I did and man, the two years that followed were the best two years of my life. I met some of the best people, I had some of the best experiences, I loved life, I was SO happy and I never wanted it to end. If anyone asked me what I'd want to relive, it's KY no doubt. To think it has been 10 years since our first day in college is wild and I don't know where the time has gone but I sure spent it well with some of my favourite friends I've made ever. All thanks to you! I'm forever thankful and I hope to repay my gratitude in some shape, way or form soon. It was my true happy place and the friends I've made a home with the friends I've met from college. In the Friends reunion, Matthew Perry said whenever he'd meet the other 5 after the show ended, he said he'd drop everything he was doing at the time regardless of where he was and just called it a night because he had met someone so special in his life that all he wanted to do is talk and be with them. That's how I feel with my friends here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My safe place. My home.<br /><br />Love you, friends. Thank you for the best 10 years we've had and here's to even better ones ahead.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-86480997634570656422021-06-17T19:27:00.009+08:002021-06-21T10:27:05.654+08:00Weird MCO<p style="text-align: center;">It's a Thursday night. I'm in week 3 of working from home in this lockdown. Can you imagine!! We're in our second lockdown and I don't know how many rounds of MCO it has been. Someone brought up a good point the other day. Instead of calling it PKP, PKPB, PKPD, and whatever else it has grown into, they should've just done what the UK did; have coronovirus alert levels via tiers. So say Tier 1 is social distance, wear a mask and Tier 4 is high alert, proper lockdown, no one's allowed out. Then each tier would have their own set of guidelines to follow. It just is SO easy to understand compared to what we have now. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This country is in a funny little space now. Everytime I'm on Twitter, there's just always something new to groan about. It gets tiring to read and to hadap but I guess it's good that people are more aware about what's happening with this country and people now?? have to be accountable?? Such a concept, I love it.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I'm happy to see that vaccination rates have ramped up in the past couple of days. I think yesterday it was 200,000+ already. It's an improvement though I think it should've been that a long time ago. We're only 11% vaxxed (and this only refers to first dosages!). And we're month 5 into this programme? I don't know. I'm just glad that this family is 2/3 vaxxed. I'm happy to report that my dad finally succumbed to getting his vaccine because we forced him into it. Even registered without his knowing hahaha. Whatever!! I don't have time for anti vaxxers or people who doubt it! I went with him and the process was so, so smooth. We reached at about 10:30 and he was vaxxed by 10:53. Best part about it is, his slot was for 11am! So he was technically done even before his appointment time. Amazing. And I really loved that it was all in one hall so we didn't have to move about! I tried to make the experience as quick and as smooth as possible, just so he doesn't get peeved. Alhamdulillah it was all smooth sailing! So here's a photo of him after being vaxxed. As for side effects, he was down with fever and body sores so he hated that part haha.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWo_eJx-jnCNeaf3m6lpsZmKWogjebSGy9uGc0h8I3s93Yc8SNN5SH_SkxNdLW7jLdS8PUPsiejoxXsWF-7rpTvw6ht_NY9d9K815YjLj9WFXTFDXrvGAcWOmSTLsbeVg0f6UbkOZPmIA/s2048/IMG_1925.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWo_eJx-jnCNeaf3m6lpsZmKWogjebSGy9uGc0h8I3s93Yc8SNN5SH_SkxNdLW7jLdS8PUPsiejoxXsWF-7rpTvw6ht_NY9d9K815YjLj9WFXTFDXrvGAcWOmSTLsbeVg0f6UbkOZPmIA/w480-h640/IMG_1925.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9MlyxpglZmFV5WpLnyZJbaDmGVfg9Pedh10f57NbXIXJMFUChZkmsQvLiP0grQsAphKoDlmeB0yN3fTIp-vCL7jNITKo56Hth38SD-Xq3TsvZmEn3-p6zDWSO-m9tfdVEUKwRTmKf8plx/s2048/IMG_1932.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9MlyxpglZmFV5WpLnyZJbaDmGVfg9Pedh10f57NbXIXJMFUChZkmsQvLiP0grQsAphKoDlmeB0yN3fTIp-vCL7jNITKo56Hth38SD-Xq3TsvZmEn3-p6zDWSO-m9tfdVEUKwRTmKf8plx/w480-h640/IMG_1932.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">We're just pending for Iman's appointment in July and for Mama's appointment date. I'm quite disappointed that Mama hasn't gotten hers because she is a teacher! Shouldn't that be counted as a frontliner? Ish. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This MCO feels so weird compared to the first one. The first one macam.... a new experience. So the fact that we were working from home was quite... fun? Cause I got to eat at home all three meals in a day and slept in 'til it was time for work. And not wearing make up! People were making iced coffee and all that innit. I just remember it being super hectic with work cause we were in the middle of new projects so to adjust to that was bit difficult. </p><p style="text-align: center;">But this MCO.... I just am so done with it. I wanna go out. It's like seeing everyone else have fun at a party and you're stuck at home cause you're grounded. Feels bit like that now especially when news around the world are about lifting restrictions, lowest Covid-19 cases they've had, people going maskless, vaccination rates almost half of population. It's FOMO if you think about it. We were there much earlier than everyone else. Some idiots thought an election was ideal so that messed things up lah but oh well. Biar lah dorang, hope they're not getting good sleep at least.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Ok, gotta go. Talk soon! </p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p><p style="text-align: center;">Edit: My mum got vaxxed! Hahaha. It was on a Saturday and she checked her app to just see if there was an update (she checks pretty regularly! Her last check in was at 11pm the night before but nothing as of then) and there was! She checked at 12pm and her appointment was at 2pm that same day. So I went with her to teman, it was in KLCC. So it was really nice and bright and big. Not that many people too so it was also very quick and efficient. <br /><br />Here's a photo to commemorate my mum getting vaccinated.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXwC0ztPGhz_2A6d7vJOPdaC8o45SrPk9Aaar2ZjL3HmPo0NMWGdN8NRSQKV39Qq7wgoyPjDles6y1Au-QKwbvhAbOgXm7cTMtrtoPbE6CcJ54d0ThmG6V654P9qKw4Xy29b7uemPV2NfT/s2048/IMG_2065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1610" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXwC0ztPGhz_2A6d7vJOPdaC8o45SrPk9Aaar2ZjL3HmPo0NMWGdN8NRSQKV39Qq7wgoyPjDles6y1Au-QKwbvhAbOgXm7cTMtrtoPbE6CcJ54d0ThmG6V654P9qKw4Xy29b7uemPV2NfT/w504-h640/IMG_2065.JPG" width="504" /></a></div>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-62049673298433392882021-05-16T18:06:00.004+08:002021-05-16T18:06:46.441+08:00My First Dose of Vaccine!<p style="text-align: center;"> Here's one for the books! I got vaccinated yesterday! </p><p style="text-align: center;">So when KJ announced that there was going to be a first come first serve vaccination program for the AstraZeneca vaccine, my friends and I were ever ready to sign up. It was at 12pm on May 2nd 2021, a Sunday. So naturally, I overslept. I woke up 12:15 to lots of messages in the various friend groupchats I have about how they didn't manage to get it or they couldn't click on the link. At that point I gave up without even trying. I mean... I missed the 12pm opening and I assumed the slots would have been taken up quick. But my friends told me to just give it a shot (haha) and I somehow managed to book a slot! I made sure to make it on a Saturday because if I had any side effects, the Sunday could cushion me before going to work. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's how it went!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">PARKING</span></p><p>1. I'm lucky that Zaim booked the same slot as I did. Same day, same time, same location. So I had a teman. He picked me up and off we went to WTC. Our appointment was at 9:30 and we drove there so we had to find parking. Good thing it wasn't too bad to find a spot. But any later than that, susah sikit to find parking methinks. My best bet is that you have someone send you. Or Grab your way there. We were there in the basement parking, lining up at about 9:18am. Macam lambat sikit lah.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">POINT OF ENTRY</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlkiAC6wSB5CQsEcB4bV23A5gSSP9c_nStFKe1ryuEaZcE6jtoHohUqsjOP5JMnFmmW1zEWtWajIMSYFEKFoyMKpHn1mhLF96msAQ6XhXcm6vYcZJJ6GvZB6vWVA2aj947UGGNBLNnoPN/s2048/IMG_1221.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlkiAC6wSB5CQsEcB4bV23A5gSSP9c_nStFKe1ryuEaZcE6jtoHohUqsjOP5JMnFmmW1zEWtWajIMSYFEKFoyMKpHn1mhLF96msAQ6XhXcm6vYcZJJ6GvZB6vWVA2aj947UGGNBLNnoPN/w480-h640/IMG_1221.JPEG" width="480" /></a></p><p>2. But since we parked, we entered from the basement. I've seen how you would enter if someone dropped you off so I'm not sure how that works.

Then you line up at your station. So important that you know what station you've been assigned to. It'll guide you all the way 'til the end. Both Zaim and I were Station 2 so we lined up at the designated area. </p><p>4. Wait 'til they call you in. Tip: Really no point you go any earlier than your time. Because you won't even be allowed to come in to the waiting area (at point 3). You'll have to wait outside.

Go up to the holding room. It's 2 floors up. You'll have to scan another time and take your temp again. Find your station, wait for them to give you your forms (2 of the same kind, you fill up both) and three tickets of your angka giliran (what is this in English??). Fill it up but DON'T SIGN IT. You'll only have to sign when you meet the doctor later for your consultation.</p><p>My experience here was that after Zaim's number was called, I was about 17 numbers later than him but the monitor/screen was stuck so the lady had to manually call out our numbers. It's relatively quite fast though! </p><p><i>Important note: Bring your own pen. I didn't.

After your number gets called, you walk into another room where you wait to be registered. My cute experience was when I sat down for the girl to register me, she looked up and asked <i>"Anak Cikgu Mazliza ya?"</i> haha I swear I get recognised more for being my mum's daughter than anything else. She graduated in 2015 and told me how close she was with my mum. So I took a photo of her and sent it over to Mama. Haha so sweet of her to say hi! </p><p>I *think* you have to scan another time here but the person there will let you know how to go on about it. Once she's registered you, you'll be directed to your doctor for the consultation. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">DOCTOR'S CONSULTATION</span></p><p>7. My doctor was a young girl, only 25! I know this because she also had to sign my form along with her IC. And she was very helpful. She gave a brief on the vaccine and side effects. I just told her I had eczema and that was my only concern. She also has eczema so she said all's fine and the vaccine shouldn't effect that at all. She then signed my form and told me I could go into the next room.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">VACCINE SHOT TIMEEEEE</span></p><p>8. There were seats in the next room but no one was there! So one of the volunteers just brought me into a room. IT WAS VACCINE SHOT TIMEEEE! Tbh I wasn't prepared for this. I thought it'd be a bit of a wait. Macam tak sempat to prepare myself. </p><p>I filmed myself taking the shot. I'm not going to lie, it was PAINFUL! All my friends who had gone before me said it was painless and that they "didn't even feel the needle". What bull!! I could totally feel the needle in! At first, it was just the general pain of an injection but it was in there for some time, babes. Longer than I'd like lah ya. Painful to the point of me going <i>"Wow, that was quite painful!" </i>to the doctor hahaha. He said <i>"hahaha ok done done"</i>. Ya, you'd better be done!!! He then covered it with wool and tape but I saw some people getting a plaster. Not that that's important but yknow.</p><p>DON'T FORGET TO SCAN THE BARCODE!!!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">OBSERVATION ROOM</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hq5b6roV2zIPSlAwPuQ_NoLwx8vHSDai1faTU6tLUm563rllz0kVxWqxWo-yH42fN1GbjsvhOcjnYf5npyVSVK8NOdvn_38QTYk73dLPfjsVq7so0KV_JzrZAPNgkwndCKGByX7KD5GN/s2048/IMG_1238.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hq5b6roV2zIPSlAwPuQ_NoLwx8vHSDai1faTU6tLUm563rllz0kVxWqxWo-yH42fN1GbjsvhOcjnYf5npyVSVK8NOdvn_38QTYk73dLPfjsVq7so0KV_JzrZAPNgkwndCKGByX7KD5GN/w480-h640/IMG_1238.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><p>9. You're then directed to the observation room downstairs. Again, you follow your station number. Gave my forms to the lady and you sit down for 15 mins to see if you have any immediate reaction. Once done, they'll call you and you have to sit at another section where they tell you to click on a link on your app to record your symptoms. </p><p>10. Here's where the delay for us started. The link was completely unclickable. So we had to wait... and wait. Some people managed and left immediately. But because ours wasn't working, we had to wait for the lady to call us one by one to manually enable the link for us. Part ni kecoh sikit because everyone was so unorganised. This was an unforeseen situation so no one expected it. But I think it worked out not long after because friends who went after didn't complain of such delay anymore.</p><p>11. Once you click on the link and see the "Do you have any symptoms?" to which you click either "Yes" or "No", you're free to leave! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">DONE!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHqL4bMp7siagpPUDZpYScfbknFIoY0hHtjtBarwrVa_1RV0cGAgOdgdpR-0SSqzSdPIPg6AtHkAadVKjP9rchxsqN3oQv7bgQBMYaXe1xWK7ed682QB1eFcIyV_eYu01JuWRFVk-3YPf/s2048/IMG_1242.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHqL4bMp7siagpPUDZpYScfbknFIoY0hHtjtBarwrVa_1RV0cGAgOdgdpR-0SSqzSdPIPg6AtHkAadVKjP9rchxsqN3oQv7bgQBMYaXe1xWK7ed682QB1eFcIyV_eYu01JuWRFVk-3YPf/w480-h640/IMG_1242.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsANzh54sM2NfcmQZxbXSpz4LDM-a1Y-icQ0e5jOdLZpQj9As2q9zrAhz55-oHrzIrZvwV7ztwOZcVYpuM4lBDioOp2qKwK7-3S6CQpUqrDvItW50cqlSopDPMCbmwbEou6Fg5yGATy44P/s2048/IMG_1246+%25281%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsANzh54sM2NfcmQZxbXSpz4LDM-a1Y-icQ0e5jOdLZpQj9As2q9zrAhz55-oHrzIrZvwV7ztwOZcVYpuM4lBDioOp2qKwK7-3S6CQpUqrDvItW50cqlSopDPMCbmwbEou6Fg5yGATy44P/w480-h640/IMG_1246+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><p>12. We took the compulsory souvenir photo haha. Again, good thing I had Zaim with me so it was easy to have him take my photo. But we did take a photo for someone who went alone. #KitaJagaKita and all that.</p><p style="text-align: center;">___</p><p style="text-align: center;">So there's that! Overall, the process was smooth sailing and quick 'cept for the last bit. People were so nice and helpful. Made for a pleasant experience! Though it took about 2 hours, it didn't actually *feel* long. If I didn't face the two technical difficulties, it could have cut it an hour short, I'm sure. I haven't heard anyone complain about the process yet other than a bit of the waiting outside if you're there early. Other than that, it was all good! Props to the organisers.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Alhamdulillah it's coming close to 36 hours and I'm feeling fine. No major side effects. I know people had fevers and headaches but I don't have anything so far. Except for the sore arm. SO sore that I can't have any pressure on it or move my left arm around too much. My sleep last night was bit annoying cause I'm so used to sleeping on my left side that it was so awkward to sleep on my right instead. But it's such a small thing to be bothered about that I'm thankful nevertheless. Who knows?? I could develop a fever later in the night but let's not wish for that amin amin aminnn. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Hope everyone gets the vaccine! It's a step closer to just ending this pandemic. With cases on the rise these days, it's so scary to think that it's already so seeped in our communities that we really can't and won't know who has it anymore. You could be doing all fine and dandy but could be positive. It's the death rate that has been worrying. Sigh. Hope everyone's keeping safe. May Allah protect us all from this pandemic.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Please also say a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Palestine who have been going through an immeasurable level of tragedy, trauma and horror pain. May Allah bestow peace and justice to the oppressed and fallen Palestinians. May families who were torn apart be granted and reunited in Jannah. The power of prayer and recently, the power of social media! The more we talk about it, the better it is for them who have no means to do so. May we all be protected, Ya Allah. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Take care, everyone. Hope the above has helped a bit in preparing for your vaccination. InsyaAllah all will go well! The faster we get this done, the faster you can travel again!!! Remember hanging out without wearing masks???? Dream.</p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-88832420596960205242021-05-02T22:31:00.006+08:002021-06-18T17:34:47.964+08:00March/April Updates <p style="text-align: center;"> IT'S BEEN A MINUTE!!</p><p style="text-align: center;">(wow I was supposed to post this late April but it's.... May already. Anyway)</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sigh. The other day I actually forgot I run a blog. That's how bad it's been. My 14 year old blogging enthusiast self would've been so annoyed. Truth is I've just been too busy with work. And Ramadhan makes it just a tad more tiring to get things done. I'm just half asleep at work most days. Alhamdulillah this puasa month has been going well for my family and I. It just always needs a bit of getting used to with waking up for sahur and then dozing off only to wake up again for work. I've said this a million times and I'll say it a million more, but last year's Ramadhan was just next level great. Didn't have to run to meetings here and there (disrupted prayer times and just... tiring) and didn't have to subject myself to strict working hours. Good thing I live not too far from the office so going back on time for buka is not too bad. </p><p style="text-align: center;">So how's everyone been!! Hope you're all ok and surviving. It's so unfortunate to see that cases have been on the rise again, despite our best initial efforts. I say "our" "best" "initial" "efforts" because they were OUR efforts. Can't believe this country had two days of ZERO cases. That's insane to even think about now kan? I think we were 2.8k cases yesterday. No signs of going down anytime soon especially with the bazaar Ramadhan, relaxing of SOP's, offices full fledged, RAYA coming soon. Sigh. This'll be the second Raya in our lives being semi-quarantined. I say 'semi-quarantined' because it's not official that we're in another lockdown or another MCO. I'm okay with Raya in KL but it's my grandparents I'm most concerned about. It must be so depressing to be home and not doing anything for a whole year and a half now. We have some family in Penang too but it's not the same to have just half the fun. Especially during Raya, a time my grandparents look forward to the most. I hope anyone and everyone reading this can keep my grandparents in your prayers. For their well-being and just overall happiness.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>_____</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>My Colleagues</i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj38Yd_Vl2th6zC04atj8DqmMxaVy_KhWAT5aKKIQ1TpIozgVDqksLhXdhzTqW1qq0eEzSlPjan8PRU1C1_6xE0Ru2dr8PI-BmgTuZR07rVKRxiEofSPk3C8P6Xez7ehyFNLyi0K6FWdsQs/s2048/IMG_8384.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj38Yd_Vl2th6zC04atj8DqmMxaVy_KhWAT5aKKIQ1TpIozgVDqksLhXdhzTqW1qq0eEzSlPjan8PRU1C1_6xE0Ru2dr8PI-BmgTuZR07rVKRxiEofSPk3C8P6Xez7ehyFNLyi0K6FWdsQs/w640-h480/IMG_8384.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>We all went to a new site in one car (got stopped at a roadblock and was asked why so many people in a car).

My review is that it's super pretty, comfortable and it's so thoughtful in its service. Lets you choose your music and your massage scents. Loved the experience and that it's an all female establishment. So if you wear the tudung, you can feel comfortable in taking it off during your service without having to worry of male customers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">_____</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6KGXXeQuh_aWCiPL8UXUFyx9MKfLvsLzkNkiFFrts-xAeg7tnJfbfZ8apNJ-FDMCxawD7ltmHm06qZnGJskrG2CVTChgrNwPUY1J6jIj3Y6D4RbjvVjDj8VcR7i_I8FkJcslMu72NNhlx/s2048/IMG_9286.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6KGXXeQuh_aWCiPL8UXUFyx9MKfLvsLzkNkiFFrts-xAeg7tnJfbfZ8apNJ-FDMCxawD7ltmHm06qZnGJskrG2CVTChgrNwPUY1J6jIj3Y6D4RbjvVjDj8VcR7i_I8FkJcslMu72NNhlx/w480-h640/IMG_9286.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My sweetest dearest Mak Tok was here for a short while for her check up at IJN. I took the day off from work to accompany her there. This is her waiting to get her blood pressure test. She was coughing a bit so she was taking out her meds to eat and I was helping her out with all that and just part of me got so sedih to see her like that. She's lost a lot of weight since Pak Tok had his stroke as he's taking care of him all the time. This was her first check up in KL without him because we told him to stay put in Penang although he really wanted to come. But we didn't want to risk it for him. May Allah always always protect the both of them, my heart and soul, and may they always be blessed with good and improving health, rezeki and happiness. I'm so bummed that we won't be able to celebrate Raya in Penang again this year. It's their favourite time of the year because we would all go back. I'm just really worried that they'd be really lonely and sad. Mak Tok said to Mama that when she told him that "the kids aren't coming for Raya", he just kept quiet and cried. I'm crying typing this out. Really so unfair that we've allowed Covid to be this bad. How is it getting worst and worst. I feel so bad for all the parents and grandparents around the country who have to spend Raya without the whole family back.

I was feeling very emosh about it all because wow I can't believe I'm in my late 20s! Like 28's legit late 20s already. I was very much in denial when I was 26 and 27 but 28's pretty much solid lah ya. And how would we have all known that we'd still spend first two months of the year in lockdown. Went into lockdown last year in March completely not knowing the full extent of how serious this virus is. We're now in the thousands but expectedly, people are going into this second lockdown more stubborn and rebellious. Streets were peep quiet first 'round in, but now it's like nothing's new. I mean, who wouldn't be tired of this! It's a whole year and we're worst than from when we started! Imagine if the whole Sabah hullabaloo didn't happen, where would we be now as a country. Something very exciting happened this morning - we received our first ever batch of vaccines! I slept super late last night but I still made sure to put an alarm for 9am so that I could watch the live updates of the batch flying into KLIA. I was so groggy and hardly had my eyes open but it still made me so happy. It's ages til we go back to normal but I like to take comfort that this is a step forward. And I'm going to die die fight for people getting vaccinated. No place for anti vaxxers here, sorry!<br /><br />_____</p><p style="text-align: center;">I've realised that I sometimes put my photos here and there and whenever I want to look through them I never really know where to look through first. Recently I signed into an email I had long abandoned and found a lot of my photos that were sent from Path before they shut down. I loooove going through photos and reminisce - it has almost become a favourite past time especially since we've been home so much the past year. I'm going to try take more photos this year and indulge in posting more here. So here are some photos in the past month.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>- TANIA'S BIRTHDAY! -</b></i></span></p><div style="text-align: center;">My sissy pants turned 25 this year! Bit surreal that we have spent a birthday in lockdown but alas, here we are. We made the most of it! We ordered in some favourites from Dolly Dim Sum and some steamboat too! Which was so cool cause we even got the little pots and burners - made it like we were in a proper restaurant (sad tings). Tania is a wonderful friend and it showed when she had constant deliveries sent to the house from some of her best buds. We only managed to get a slice of each cake sebab banyak sangat haha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CTvYgQnppUwyo0iCi8BsI9B__3wtUDSrcM2Y6mIWZsJ0QnyOUq3L1tNVFT5F_E16vmLm0rIPGmSM8j8XqBqw3mMbo4kQju8jHPcfqF455IsFmtlCDvnaSoWSVKlP_3V-LHekHTrBYnS9/s2048/IMG_7141.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CTvYgQnppUwyo0iCi8BsI9B__3wtUDSrcM2Y6mIWZsJ0QnyOUq3L1tNVFT5F_E16vmLm0rIPGmSM8j8XqBqw3mMbo4kQju8jHPcfqF455IsFmtlCDvnaSoWSVKlP_3V-LHekHTrBYnS9/w480-h640/IMG_7141.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij4q7_yuJ6AukVqHuNuYCX8jwEQySOxJ9XDbXUeFGztuvh9SjF4rc9KMuGYTNWCR3ZMrsF53McQLWkgtY9lFKgeqHiHEPh1MImKfItKydRz9ep_SPxoQvKG2k8zk-CmQ_1a2ScITUssdnZ/s2048/IMG_7125.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij4q7_yuJ6AukVqHuNuYCX8jwEQySOxJ9XDbXUeFGztuvh9SjF4rc9KMuGYTNWCR3ZMrsF53McQLWkgtY9lFKgeqHiHEPh1MImKfItKydRz9ep_SPxoQvKG2k8zk-CmQ_1a2ScITUssdnZ/w480-h640/IMG_7125.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>From Ili Pot for those who are curious!

Grateful that I have the comfort of my home during these tough times. Grateful for all I've got. Went into 2020 feeling hopeful for good things, not knowing what was about to hit us. So I took it as a lesson and I welcome 2021 with like... a nudge and a "Hey 'sup man?", feeling bit more cautious about everything around me. I continue to be as bright and as Nadia as I can be but I can't help to be more conscious of not putting my hopes up too high. This year I hope to do more good and be a better person. I say that every year but this year macam nak extra baik and extra sweet to all of you ahaha xx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok here are some random photos to fill in the post! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30Oe_3wLT6WPliPgVI_Rmz135W2HoXtWxarI5I6KjHDiYS6qG6g-P5TPQkW9kRtejmAeSOR_BlfWVP0LxI3u1l-wn5SyAn3kRyg56b7P9u3_LjuHz7aofghKrCEr0tbin9LOoq6djfB34/s2048/77F90400-17D2-4F5D-BF0D-5886B98D8254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30Oe_3wLT6WPliPgVI_Rmz135W2HoXtWxarI5I6KjHDiYS6qG6g-P5TPQkW9kRtejmAeSOR_BlfWVP0LxI3u1l-wn5SyAn3kRyg56b7P9u3_LjuHz7aofghKrCEr0tbin9LOoq6djfB34/w360-h640/77F90400-17D2-4F5D-BF0D-5886B98D8254.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Got an emergency haircut before the lockdown. This was during lunch hour at work hahaha grabbed something from Aunty Anne's and got a quick cut from my usual place at OU. Had it cut short this time 'round because I didn't know how long the MCO would be. Of course the hairstylist cut it a lot shorter than I had asked but I'm ok with it I guess. Wished I had cut my bangs too! Hair salons are open now but limited to just hair cuts and I'm dying to have my hair dyed again. Bored of my brown hair so I'm thinking of something super dark again. Also, my white hair is showing and it's bloody annoying. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GMK0lBFMK63qmdEBylZRVdbtCAmFBZaW6Ug0i05JvKywSG1f7hxl2K96Z-Ni8Kgi5R4edyD8_04t5RRuCvw10GkuGz6I19VPmKl6KY5GmfVU_NKsdVSRLxBwDJYg10VhaoRZVs85F1Ie/s2048/IMG_6942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GMK0lBFMK63qmdEBylZRVdbtCAmFBZaW6Ug0i05JvKywSG1f7hxl2K96Z-Ni8Kgi5R4edyD8_04t5RRuCvw10GkuGz6I19VPmKl6KY5GmfVU_NKsdVSRLxBwDJYg10VhaoRZVs85F1Ie/w640-h480/IMG_6942.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That night we also went out for dinner at Chica Bonita at Publika!

A major life thing happened on the 10th January 2021.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My brother, my one and only baby brother, got married to the love of his life. <br /><br />I didn't think I'd get emotional because the whole event took only 48 hours worth of planning. They were supposed to get married about 2 weeks later but because of the MCO, they decided to bring forward the event. That meant a lot of things: it was only going to be just for family, that my grandparents couldn't come (sad!!!) and we had to get things settled the day before. They decided on a Friday that they were to be wed on Sunday!! That only left little of Friday and a lot of Saturday going around like mad. Ok, not us sangat lah. All of it was by Hanis' family doing to which we are always so grateful for. Thank goodness we had sent our kain to Foong Ling (ye ol' trusted tailor) much earlier but even then, we were surprised she managed to pull it off for all four of us ladies. Given, it was a very simple baju and we just added lace later. Zaim requested we wear grey and although Mama was meh about it, I thought it looked quite nice on camera! Some pearls and a silky shawl, and we're set! <br /><br />Zaim had to go buy his baju the day before! I had to call up the hantaran lady (I highly recommend her because i) she has the NICEST flower arrangements ii) Aunty Linda is the SWEETEST person you'd meet this year, seriously!! Bar none, 11/10 for service.) on Saturday morning to ask if she could do another 4 more hantaran dulangs! Zaim initially said because it was just going to a small ceremony, he'd be ok with just one dulang. But they must've changed their minds and asked for all 5 of the dulangs. Called Aunty Linda up and she was more than accommodating and said yes, sure, no problem! Ugh, love her so much. Such a saviour. Iman and I went to her place to pick it up that night itself (!!!) and she had done it SO beautifully, it was so painful to see it come undone much later. Like so sayang to touch it cause it was just so beautifully arranged. Even my dad loved it! My dad!!! My dad who has no affinity for these things at all! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13X0QjTQbDnSkfQGxt96S8i7W7yR_VbmlN9d73xFxpX5PBNOM7uuZk4oBTPqLPG4IGeHMR6dccAwc2vtRppDs3MzUV54dC5URU536ca4Opa7vA5M-iHv5BycLdZH-4cJ7OCwufQ7OeHw9/s2048/IMG_6640.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13X0QjTQbDnSkfQGxt96S8i7W7yR_VbmlN9d73xFxpX5PBNOM7uuZk4oBTPqLPG4IGeHMR6dccAwc2vtRppDs3MzUV54dC5URU536ca4Opa7vA5M-iHv5BycLdZH-4cJ7OCwufQ7OeHw9/w640-h480/IMG_6640.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZfHKZX1YDojQZL0WrNsbv_mbbjej7Fb2EDGRiAUIiAp4tiYqKI57wkk45A55bGKD2T3ehialhWWLiFO5o1iT40HiygJUZ0Ah_f0FNRcZTzeKMVzhitU5GM9s8wtvXhsqbC39gBSnlWRj/s2048/IMG_6641.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZfHKZX1YDojQZL0WrNsbv_mbbjej7Fb2EDGRiAUIiAp4tiYqKI57wkk45A55bGKD2T3ehialhWWLiFO5o1iT40HiygJUZ0Ah_f0FNRcZTzeKMVzhitU5GM9s8wtvXhsqbC39gBSnlWRj/w640-h480/IMG_6641.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEBfkQFTiLxJTSplUIr8xebnhblU5M5c42EvsAZYp6ZLKQyYBPs7zTKbJLv5iUiPg1tXhFLJ-UPIBmv5_VSfMZ9NqWWczOu4Ua3qmFkdYYdAmy1-l393ntyogsKmPAW7h3icw-7y-k6V0e/s2048/IMG_7656.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEBfkQFTiLxJTSplUIr8xebnhblU5M5c42EvsAZYp6ZLKQyYBPs7zTKbJLv5iUiPg1tXhFLJ-UPIBmv5_VSfMZ9NqWWczOu4Ua3qmFkdYYdAmy1-l393ntyogsKmPAW7h3icw-7y-k6V0e/w480-h640/IMG_7656.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOwqS4ew9r6qVvy7UvyrE1_x4xnLovrCvJ_QUrVsPQCat6h7iCe8bKDKzPoFyM_6Ba-19ELFbwjLwY8P5yyvuzYt3YR4Ac4fxHKD9Ul3LAc3cle8urNP4IStEfnib2NLojgYjDh1jrPOGt/s2048/IMG_6642.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOwqS4ew9r6qVvy7UvyrE1_x4xnLovrCvJ_QUrVsPQCat6h7iCe8bKDKzPoFyM_6Ba-19ELFbwjLwY8P5yyvuzYt3YR4Ac4fxHKD9Ul3LAc3cle8urNP4IStEfnib2NLojgYjDh1jrPOGt/w480-h640/IMG_6642.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our first run was to buy door gifts for the event.

Some bits of ribbon and a whole lotta stuffing and they came out pretty cute! Someone even asked Hanis where she got these door gifts from haha! And this was so cheap too!

We went to collect the hantaran's quite late because understandably, under super last minute circumstances, she could only finish it by 10pm. Her place is about 30 minutes from mine so took us a bit to go back and forth. And I was driving so slow because these hantaran's are so delicate that a bump or a swerve could jeopardise its original arrangement!

If you watched our old videos, you can almost always hear my mum or dad yelling out <i>"ZAIM!!!!" "ZAIM DON'T DO THAT!!!" "ZAIM COME HERE!!"</i> hahahaha he was just notoriously <i>buas</i>. Like, cannot duduk diam. Then he grew to be the sweetest boy (and a lot calmer) and I am just so proud to see Zaim where he is now - he's such a great guy, love him so much. As an older sister, you can't help but feel so... motherly I guess??

It was a simple baju kurung modern with lace borders at the sleeves and baju. I got the kain from Jakel and the lace from this place on Instagram called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lacemewah/">Lace Mewah</a>. My mum went to the place to buy laces for all of us and they're pretty affordable too! I liked that they had an array of options. I find Jakel to be quite limited in their border laces and they're super pricey too! I just added some of Mama's long pearl necklace and some earrings on and I was good to go.

That girl is Hanis. It happened over lunch at home and he mentioned that he had went out with Hanis the day before and something happened between them that made him so incredibly happy. So happy that he just had to tell someone. He never mentioned just for how long he had liked Hanis but I think the date that he had just gone probably reaffirmed his feelings. That was the first time he ever indulged me about his love life. Hanis was the only one for him. Zaim is the kind of person that if he wants something, he'd go get it. No matter how long and how troublesome the journey may be. He'd find a way and he'd work to make it happen. Hanis was the only one for him and he knew it from the get go. So alhamdulillah with his prayers and those of everyone who love him, the Almighty granted his prayers and on the 10th of January 2021, despite the circumstances, they were pronounced husband and wife.<br /><br />Hanis is such a wonderful person and she has the sweetest of hearts so we're only very happy that she is now part of the family. It's also pretty nice to have a friend as a sister in law! I used to go to her apartment unit in college and hang out with her. At the time, it never occurred to me she'd be calling my parents as her own and my brother as her husband! It's so wild if you think about it. Alhamdulillah, Allah is so great and has blessed us with the loveliest and most kind Hanis as our sister and daughter in law.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We love you both so much and we are boundlessly happy for your union. I'm so glad you seek comfort and warmth in each other and may Allah continue to bless you endlessly with rezeki, happiness and love now and forevermore. Sayang you both always and always.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx</div><p></p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-76110957133334015752021-01-19T00:24:00.005+08:002021-03-22T23:29:05.001+08:00Dear 5 Year Old Me,<p style="text-align: center;">Dear 5 year old Nadia,<br /><br />You've got it so good, darling girl. You'd have a bit of a difficult time in your first years of school but it gets so much better. You'd meet friends that would quite simply change your whole life. You're a shy little girl with undeserving insecurities, like that birthmark on your elbow. Your inability to speak fluent Malay and getting scolded for it in school - painful times and you'll remember it for life. Getting made fun of it only made you a much better person because it plants empathy and sympathy within yourself - something you'd still have at the fun age of 27. Yes! It's fun. You'd walk around seeing these 20 year old's at malls and wonder how cool it must be to be of that age - to be free, to drive around anywhere you want, to buy all the Barbie dolls you want without having to tug on Mama's baju to cautiously ask if you could get one at Toys 'R Us. And a few minutes shy of being 28, I'm going to tell that that's all true - it <i>is </i>cool to be in your 20s. They'd become some of your best years. But dear girl, you've got it good throughout your whole life. It gets freckled with some harder nights but you've done well, anyway.<br /><br />Your dreams have come true; one at a time. You'd get your straight A's in UPSR and PMR. You got your pink Motorola Razr and your first Mac laptop from these achievements. Your high school crush in turn, had a crush on you too and although that didn't work out, take solace that you went on a date with him and it was still one of the loveliest days you've had. You also went to the college of your dreams and met people that have grown to become more like family to you. And all the conversations in the car with Mama about her days as a student in the UK, you'd also get that. That came with a lot of prayer and Pak Tok and Mak Tok's help. Pak Tok is, btw, doing well. He's not as quick as he used to be but dear God, are we happy that he is still here with us. You spent 3 of your best years in Bristol learning so much about yourself and the type of independence you had only imagined of before this. It would be the experience of your life and you'd come back with a newfound love for your country, for change, and for yourself. <br /><br />So although you'd have tough days in between, you'd wake up the next day a bit better. And it never stops. It's never stopped. You'd be a romantic and you look at life with rose coloured glasses. You're all the better for it. You'd meet people who would come and go but a gentle caution to not be sad about it for too long for they were all hard earned lessons for you - lessons you'd only make sense of later in life and be thankful for regardless.<br /><br />As for family, your love for them grows tenfold. Zaim, Tania and Iman have grown out of their phases and blossomed into the sweetest and kindest people you know. They're also very funny. They're your best friends for life and you'd share some of the most important moments ever with them. And Mama and Papa, they're doing well and they've gone above and beyond for you over the years and worked so hard to get you to where you want to be. They've realised your dreams for you so never doubt their love and care. Your priority in life now is to exercise your rights everyday to become the person that would make your family happy. From all the love they've showered generously to you, you owe them at least that.<br /><br />You'd do good. You'd grow out of your shell and you'd eventually find your footing in life. It's a bit wobbly of a beginning but it steadies itself soon, I promise. Don't be swayed by anyone who tells you you're too nice or you're too generous with your laughs. Be nice anyway. Be generous anyway. I don't have all the answers yet to your questions but stay prayerful, dear girl, for all that is yours will be called to you in good time. The clock has struck 12 and I'm bound for sleep so I'll end this post here. Dear 5 year old Nadia, in the instance of a parallel universe where we'd meet, I hope you'd take a good look at me now and think to yourself "what a cool girl she has grown to be."<br /><br />You got this. Love you always.<br /><br />xx</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31zH6RDl8ikyc0UNG4hq9xvxATsO2hRCfL2zvt40oHCsEz7uyEWfB_a_h9ql0slHuqyrv7G8TQTiHMi0DmL_BY8XzdHWDpNYXWbt9mX-Bn9XC-ORgszzpGy7jL3wH_vaPGpBiAEH9KQKe/s1080/IMG_7057.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="1080" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31zH6RDl8ikyc0UNG4hq9xvxATsO2hRCfL2zvt40oHCsEz7uyEWfB_a_h9ql0slHuqyrv7G8TQTiHMi0DmL_BY8XzdHWDpNYXWbt9mX-Bn9XC-ORgszzpGy7jL3wH_vaPGpBiAEH9KQKe/w640-h422/IMG_7057.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644933551390572142.post-47803098555850967182020-12-31T23:35:00.006+08:002021-01-25T01:43:13.384+08:0031st December 2020 <p style="text-align: center;">It's the 31st of December 2020.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The year is coming to an end but the effects of it will linger through 2021. At least for the first few months. Malaysia ends the year with a record high cases of 2,525 just today.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I find myself in a familiar position, wrapped under my covers in my room waiting to hear the fireworks at midnight. It reminds me of my days in Bristol, actually.<br /><br />2020 will go down as probably the most memorable year for a lot of us. Never would have I ever thought in a million years we'd find ourselves in a pandemic, and partaking in a nationwide lockdown for close to three months. How we find it so normal to be wearing masks and having to scan QR codes and take temperature virtually everywhere we go. Kalau tak, it'll be so kekok. So many things are just so... <i>kekok</i> this year. Who the hell would've thought social distancing would ever be a thing. The other day I bumped into a friend's mum and at first we didn't salam but at the end, we just decided to salam her and I miss it so much! Last day of the year and it's still so weird to me. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This year, I'm just very, very grateful. That I have a roof over my head, food on the table, family to be quarantined with, friends to holiday together and a job to groan about. The world saw a lot of kindness and generosity and understanding. It really felt like God wanted to give us a time out from our tumultuous days. How cliche is it to say this but it stands true: to give the world a break it needed. And most importantly, for us to realise how good we've got it with our lives. To be thankful for the frontliners, to be empathetic and generous to the ones who are going through an immensely difficult time, to be considerate of each other and to learn how to prioritise. I think what I've been trying to say (but so hard to word it out!) is that this pandemic has forced us to take a step back from our daily to reevaluate our lives and see what we can do to make it a better place. During that short sweet period of time when Malaysia was doing single digit cases everyday (I cry thinking about it), I appreciated going out and doing normal things a whole lot more. What used to be a normal experience like planning a trip with friends would soon be such an exciting time. Or going for karaoke! Or watching movies ramai ramai. And going to weddings!!! Man, I miss it all. I can't wait for the time we can travel and see the world again, I miss it so much. I miss the world being normal so much!</p><p style="text-align: center;">This year I'm also <i>so</i> happy and blessed because something happened in my life that has made me closer to God. Honestly, I don't know what'll happen but I'm happy anyway that it's made me more in touch with my faith. I spend more time after prayers to berdoa for things I want for myself and for the ones I love. I look forward to praying too. InsyaAllah to better things for me this 2021. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Ok! Let's make this 2021 much much better than the last. There's just so much more for us to be and to do and I hope we work hard to make them happen this year. Let's always strive to be better people. Better daughters and sons, better partners, better sisters and brothers and better friends. Find the things in life to be grateful for and I promise it'll change your perspective on life. It's worked for me and I hope it does the same to you too. Some days will be harder than the next but my God, you've got this!!</p><p style="text-align: center;">We're going to make the start of a new year the start of a new take on life. You've got this!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Love to all! Here's to a wonderful year ahead of us, however challenging it may be.</p><p style="text-align: center;">xx</p>Nadia Zainudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371928403661616495noreply@blogger.com0
