Yeah, if you know my real name then I bet you can spot it up there!!! I am so happy that finally it is confirmed that I received the first class honors, alhamdulillah all praise to the Almighty for making it a reality ^_^ I had heaps of disasters, obstacles, failures, disappointments and whatever-you-name-it to keep my CGPA above 3.50 along my degree years. I stumbled, I fell so hard I thought nobody can save me from the darkest pit of shameful failures but Allah kept bringing me back, resuscitating me and reminding me that no matter how bad I wrecked myself, He is always there listening to me, my parents' prayers and prayers from all who loves me so dearly. 

I am not gonna brag on how good I was during my bachelor's degree years. I am going to tell the truth here about my experiences along the three years I spent in UiTM Shah Alam. I was a silent member of the class, I don't normally be the noisy one and people might mistaken me as a stuck up weirdo. I regret (a bit) for not being the loud ones sometimes because that is one way to make lecturers remember you, which later will benefit when you need a recommendation letter, hahaha! But if you are an over-achiever, then lecturers will remember you too. Well, it depends on what suit you I guess? If I can turn back time, I want to be the loud ones in the class, who achieves well and consistent. 

we successfully pranked the entire class using this computer lab after our session.

at that time 9gag meme was so hot, we pasted it under all 30 mouses XD

I was not an entirely over-achiever. But I keep my balance between study-sports-fun very well. I am so glad that I took archery, it made me a different person. I became more stable because I had something to wait for once a week. Shooting arrows after arrows is a therapy for me. The routine made my body fitter. My posture became fine. I get the healthy glow, and I am so happy being among my archery members. My coach was a superb lady too, she knows my strength and she polished me. I haven't touched my bow and arrows for months now because there is no place for me to practice here in Melaka. I wish I live in Shah Alam :(

see how slim I WAS? 

i. was. THAT. slim. 

oh, that sunburn. 

In my academic classes, I was like all normal students. I dozed off in class, because I slept late to watch movies and series. I skipped classes with my best friend because we had a quota of 3 days absent before we get barred from taking exams. I did last minute assignments because I thought I am so cool to be able to work under extreme pressure. I did all the mischievous things a student can do, but I never regret it because those are my memories. I joined clubs and societies, I became an exco member at my faculty and I learned a lot through taking up these positions. I am truly glad that I acquired a lot from my academic classes and non-academic activities. Among the sweetest memory was that I joined the faculty's debate team to Walailak University, Thailand as a newbie debater for a training and competition. Well, that was my only debate experience, hehe!

our first day at Walailak University for the debate training and competition

 with my best friend Mazlina Nina, we went through so much together :')

and here is me with an overachiever who has been the greatest senior + best friend to me

All in all, I just wanna clarify that I miss my friends out there :) three years spent together with them, muddling through our sweat, blood and tears to graduate and soon the day will arrive. Some won't be with us this year, but they will next year insyaAllah. I pray the best for all my friends who have been with me through thick and thin, who understands and accepts me the way I am, my temper and my judgments. 

 i am not daring, I can only manage that "salute" pose

 oh the "young faces". they're all so grown up today. and "healthier" than in this pic :p

 classmates.

classmates again, my lovely ladies :)

One thing for sure, I cherish all the memories I have. No matter how pleasant or unpleasant they were to me, they are and will always be mine. I feel terrible for not having backups of all the pictures I took during those three years, because the unposted ones are all stolen during a robbery that costed me my laptop, external hard disk, camera. The pain is still aching in my heart, but I have to let it go eventually, I can't get them back anyway. I hope that the upcoming days and years will fare me the best of luck, and the same to all my beloved comrades too. Live your life to the fullest but remember Allah in whatever you do, insyaAllah you will be safe :)

Till then. 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

If you are looking for something to cheer you up to the extent that smiling from ear to ear is not enough, then you are on the right page and keep on scrolling ;) With current economic condition, workload and expectation of life, people tend to forget that there is a medication to all their worries and it does not involve seeing a medical doctor. Laugh. Laughter. Laughing. It might seem small, simple or random but it holds the power of life. That is why our Godfather of stand-up comedy, Harith Iskander came up with a brilliant, one in a million idea to host a show named "Harith Iskander...To know Malaysia is to LAUGH MALAYSIA!".

I humbly think that Harith's effort to bring this show alive could spark a laughter revolution among us Malaysians, and that this show alone can really bring us Malaysians to stand arm in arm regardless of who we are. Aside from that, it is also part of Harith's plan to commemorate World Mental Health day (October 10th annually) with hope that by being around or close to positive, cheerful people and atmosphere can help depressed, grief-stricken individuals to be enlightened of their unseen burden, thus driving them away from the possibilities and probabilities of suicide (example : Robbie William's case where he as a comedian too unfortunately lived in a depressed life masked with happiness).

"Synonymous to the government's effort of promoting brotherhood and camaraderie amongst fellow Malaysians, my vision for Malaysians is to come together for one night under one roof to display the strength of who we are and what we stand for as Malaysians - Unity, Moderation and Oneness. It's time for Malaysians to turn DISTRESS into DE-stress," says Harith.

Not only will Harith feature promising, fresh talents in Malaysian comedy scene and internationally recognized comedians, he also mentioned that the newest of materials will be brought to stage, which at the same time will be cleverly brewed with some classic "best of" so that audiences will enjoy the show to the max! Not only that, interactive visuals and live musics too will decorate the show as Harith's aim is to leverage his performance with a new and exciting edge ;) Can you hear the excitement yet??

Before I leave you to your own thoughts, I'd like to highlight that if you are planning to grace the show, you are not only seeking to enjoy the best of Malaysian's stand-up comedians but you too are becoming a part of charity effort. How? Why? Oh really? Yes people, because a percentage of the profits earned from ticket sales will go to OrphanCARE, which have been working on placing abandoned children to homes of new, loving families. Why OrphanCARE? Harith and his wife Dr.Jezzmine are ambassadors of OrphanCARE, and they want to ensure that it lives up its motto of "Every child needs a family".

To Know Malaysia is To Laugh Malaysia is proudly brought to you by AMC Live Group, Harith Iskander V Day Productions and Perbadanan Stadium Malaysia. There too are several big hearted Malaysian corporations supporting this event under the LAUGH MALAYSIA umbrella, which are Celcom First, Sime Darby Foundation, Seremban 2, MTT Priority and Pemandu. 

Assalamualaikum and hello :) First and foremost, I'd like to thank Allah SWT for the blessings He gave upon me. Seems like today has been nothing but good news. I first thought that I wasn't selected for this test, because I didn't get the right info on where to check. Plus I worked the afternoon shift earlier today so I was not in the condition to properly check for anything. 

Well, it has always been my dream to work as a PTD officer. I don't know how tough the job is, I never had any prior exposure. But one thing for sure, I want it. My senior, who is also a PTD officer, was very 'kind' to tell me that "kerja PTD ni penat" (working as a PTD officer is tiring) as his first advice to me. Whatever it is, I hope Allah helps me through this, and I hope He shows me the way where I am supposed to go.

For me, it does not matter what I will do and what lies ahead for me, because I am truly confident of what He has promised to me. I'll work hard and smart for my ambition, and I hope if you are reading this, please pray the best for me okay? Love you guys!

Assalamualaikum and hello! Today I'd like to share with you all about my journey with BeautyOat :) As a fan of oat, oat based drinks and anything with oats, I am beyond thrilled when I got a box of beauty goodness containing oats and collagen as their super formula specially curated for women who wants to achieve their goals of having beautiful skin and maintained weight ^_^ If you are one, then you definitely should continue reading on why BeautyOat is the one and only solution that you should look for!

So, look at this post's title. Why do I say that beauty starts at breakfast? Well, the entire homo sapien population in this world knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You won't be a fully functional human along your day if don't take your breakfast, and if you don't take breakfast, you can kiss goodbye to that physical and mental beauty because you don't really take good care of yourself. That is why BeautyOat is created as the perfect oat plus collagen drink for you to take during breakfast as its nutritional values are able to benefit not only your face but your body too. 

Formulated in Korea with pomegranate extract, marine collagen tripeptide and sakura extracts specially to cater on your skin need, BeautyOat is also composed of beta-glucan from oat which is able to replenish your bodily need of daily soluble fiber. I also would like to highlight that you don't need to worry about the safety of consuming BeautyOat as it is Halal approved by JAKIM, approved by KKM and is made in Malaysia. 

Consuming BeautyOat is not a hassle. You only need to mix it with 180ml of warm water and consume it during breakfast, or anytime you can. I was told that for beginners, it is better to consume BeautyOat during breakfast and before sleep for best result. 

I have finished my first box of BeautyOat and I am proud to say that this drink truly shows some effects on me :) First of all, my skin is a lot more moist than before. Sometimes I forget to put on moisturizer after I cleansed my skin but I never felt that dryness or tightness along the course of consuming BeautyOat. When I touch my face, it reminds of that "boing-boing bouncy skin" on skincare advertisement on TV, hehe! This shows that the marine collagen ingredient in BeautyOat works well on me ^_^ Secondly, I believe that BeautyOat has helped me to stay "normal" until it is lunch time. I am the person who will feel that she needs lunch at 10am, regardless of my breakfast intake at 7am. While consuming BeautyOat, I never felt that hungry pang anymore at 10am, I only felt a slight rumble in my stomach at 12 noon, hehe! Another helpful benefit of consuming BeautyOat is that, I feel my digestion system is working so much better now. Everything is flushed out every morning so, I always go to work feeling light and happy, thanks to BeautyOat ^_^ Well, when my sister asked me why my skin looks smooth and glowing at 9pm when I don't even have makeup on, this should be something, right? ;)

vain selfie time with BeautyOat :p

Well, I hope you guys will find this post helpful :) I'd like you to know that even the product was sponsored, I however am not paid to sell BeautyOat and everything that I shared above are my true story, my own opinion and my own crafted words. From all the skin supplements I have tried, I believe that BeautyOat is the best for me so far, and it is within my budget too. I see myself ordering for the second box, hehe :p I hope if you are looking for a supplement to take care of your skin and body, then try BeautyOat first okay? See you in the next post!

Assalamualaikum and hello! Have you heard of Farmasi Colour Cosmetics (FCC)? This is my favourite halal cosmetic brand hailing from Turkey and they truly have impressed me with a wide selection of cosmetics and body care products ^_^ Been gracing our local scene for quite some time, FCC is the one and only brand you should look to if you are looking for makeups of superb quality, friendly price tag and most importantly for Muslims, FCC products are Halal certified so that you won't have to worry about putting it on after you take your ablution :) 

Full house event!

Earlier this month, FCC conducted an event to reveal their first ever brand ambassador in Malaysia, and I was among the many lucky girls to get an invite, yeayy! Held at Talent Lounge Restaurant, PJ Trade Center, we gathered to get to know FCC's first ever brand ambassador, Raisyyah Rania Yeap (formerly known as Felixia Yeap). I was so happy to get to see her in person because I'm secretly her fan, hehe! Well, apart from feasting my eyes on hot guys, I love seeing hot girls too and I am completely normal okay :p

Revealed : FCC First Brand Ambassador ^_^

The event also highlighted on the launch of FCC Kajal Secret Eyeliner Pen, which is the latest product brought in here by FCC Malaysia. Raisyyah said that she have been testing the eyeliner for a month before it was launched, and she truly loves it because it is so easy to apply and it lasts long like a real hero! For your info, this new eyeliner is in liquid pen type, and the tip is so sharp that making a winged eyeliner look is as easy as ABC! I have tried this and I am definitely impressed on how it turned out, which is kinda shocking to me because I never had a luck with this type of felt tip eyeliner before. So, please stay tuned for its review okay?

During the event, I arrived early and I got to see the entire layout without the hassle of going through the crowd, hehe! There was a makeup station where guests can get free makeover, and there also was a beautiful display of the newly launched Kajal Secret Eyeliner Pen. During the event, I found an envelope inside the table number holder, and I absent-mindedly opened it. It turned out that I won one of the  7 lucky prizes, hahaha! All 7 lucky guests received a FCC product that is not available in Malaysia, and I'm double lucky because I got a tube of Farmasi Argan Oil Hand Cream. Kak Sabby and Kak Innanie mentioned that it was truly my luck because they all knew that I'm a hand cream fan, hehe!

All in all, I enjoyed being there at the event because I met many people who made me happy, and the FCC team members tried their best to make us all feel comfortable even though the venue was full house. I wish FCC Malaysia all the best and I hope that they will be everyone's number one choice in no time ^_^ Thanks FCC Malaysia for having me there!

Got to meet my loves! It has been quite some time since I last saw them. From left : Sabby Prue, Mieza Everdeen, Innanie Ariffin, Wiida Ribbon.

Assalamualaikum and hello :) It's October now, and it's time for September favourites! I am now trying my best to share about my monthly favourites without fail, because I want my beloved readers to know about all the precious gems you can get that the world has to offer ^_^ I have been so quiet lately because I'm still not used to the fact that my brother is now so far away in the UK. I am really close to him, and I feel so lost and lonely when he's not around. All the time, I'm wondering how's he doing right there, what did he eat today, how he adjusts with the new environment and everything. Guess I'm worrying too much because he looks just fine when we chat on whatsapp and facebook. 

Right, let's get back to track :p For my September 2014 Favourites, I will be sharing quite a lot of things because I really love them and I have been using them quite religiously all these while. They're so good, they work so well and they all have my stamp of approval if you wanna get any of them, okay? Let's start!

Face Products 

1. Dr.G Perfect Pore Cover BB Cream

I received this BB cream from Shopgirl on her facebook giveaway :) at first I found that the consistency is too thick and I always seem to fail to be satisfied with it. However as days passed, I learned that having a skin properly prepped with moisturizer and blending with a good brush is the key to perfection with this Perfect Pore Cover BB cream. It gives a dewy and healthy complexion, and it has become my favourite to wear for work :)

2. Biore UV Perfect Face Milk

I bought this because sis Fyna from Fynahere said that this is an excellent base that won't make your skin turn oily. It is equipped with SPF 50+ PA+++ so yeah, it gives an excellent sun protection to me too as I realized that my skin does not get that tingling sensation when I'm directly exposed to sunlight. Most importantly, my face does not get oily at all ^_^

3. Hanaka Extremely Volcanic Mud Face Pack

I bought this solely on Shini's suggestion as she claimed that this mask helps her deal with her bad breakout skin before. I have been using it for a few months already, I wish I am more disciplined, hehe! This mask helps me when I have pimples on my face. It calms the redness and the pimple size won't grow bigger. This mask has never gave me any irritation either, I'm loving it!

Lip Products

1. Shizens Lip Painter

I bought this using the voucher I got from a blogging event with The Butterfly Project. Lip Painter is my first Shizens item along with their Silky Renewal Gel, and I have been loving both of them so much! I use this Lip Painter almost every day, and I found that the tint is superbly excellent that it stays from morning till night :) It made my lips look so healthily pink. I haven't used the gloss, because I don't like lip glosses. I must use it soon I guess? hehe

2. Etude House Kissful Tint Choux

I think my September was all about tints because I found myself reaching for lip tints the most. This Kissful Tint Choux was purchased when it was on sale, I got it far cheaper than the actual price and I wish I bought all colours available. It is so pigmented and very very useful if you are into gradient lips. It does not dry my lips and the colour too has a very high longevity.

3. In2It Lip Treat

I found that it is very hard to find a lip balm that really works on my lips. I bought this when I was still doing my first degree, because my roommate/best friend Mazlina Nina said that hers works so well. I love her so much for introducing this Lip Treat to me because it is indeed a worthy buy. It moisturizes my lips, gives a dash of colour and gloss to it and it makes my appearance a lot fresher. I reach for this Lip Treat all the time and it is a must-have in my handbag!

1. Etude House Play 101 Pencil #48

This is my second brown liner and I am glad that it works so well. I won it from Etude House Malaysia fb giveaway and I'm glad that they gave me this colour from all 50 shades they've got, hehe! This is a shimmery deep brown colour and it gave me a very pretty eye look as I wore it on my waterlines. It is also excellent on the eye lids, and it can be smudged to make a smokey eyeshadow as well. This pencil is best removed with oil-based makeup remover or baby oil as I found that using wet wipes alone is not enough. 

2. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Pen Liner

This is the dupe to Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Liner. I own both so I can compare ;) I found myself reaching for this gel liner pen the most when I need the super black colour on my lids, as what I did for my green fairy post here. This pen gel liner is so easy to use, the gel does not dry in a jiffy like Benefit's (what a pain) and drawing flicks is so much easier with the shape of its tip. The only thing I wish was better is the material of this pen liner's tip. 

3. It's Skin Babyface Natural Eyebrow pencil

I am relatively new in this eyebrow drawing thingy, because all these while I never cared to shape it. My eyebrows are naturally thick and very black, but there still are spaces to fill in. I bought this Babyface Natural Eyebrow because of the liner's shape (triangular) and because it comes along with a spoolie brush. So far, I'm loving how this eyebrow pencil helps me make my eyebrows appear more neat, filled and defined. I still have to learn how to properly draw though :p

1. Ecotools Bamboo Buffing Brush
I have been loving this brush to apply powder/loose foundations on my face. It helps me not to get a cakey look (which easily happens when I'm using a sponge in a hurry). The bristles are so dense and soft, and the flat top makes application so easy that I got a smooth look in no time :)

2. CCM Flat Top Foundation Brush
I bet all of you have seen the abundance of new reviews surfacing about this brush along this week right? Well, I received this brush last year and it is by far my most favourite flat top foundation brush because of the excellent outcome it gave ^_^ Its handle is chubby and short, which is very friendly to my hand grip and I no longer hit the mirror with my brush handle. I am short-sighted so most of the time, I need to lean very very close to the mirror to see clearly. By using this CCM Flat Top Foundation brush, I manage to buff my foundation flawlessly and smoothly, and I don't even have to worry about it being too thick until I look like a plastered face. I'm planning to buy another 2 of this brush, hehe!

1. Anna Sui La Vie De Boheme EDT
I received this vial from a magazine and it has been sitting in my handbag for quite some time. I found myself trying and reaching for this EDT a lot especially at work because I just love how wonderful it smells, and it changes my sour, tired mood into a cheerful one ^_^ definitely gonna put this in my wishlist, I wanna get the full size!

So I guess that's all for my September 2014 Favourites :) If you did a post like this too, please leave your link in the comment section below coz I'd love to see what you've been enjoying this September okay? Thanks for reading and see you in the next post!
