It's been so hectic this couple of months, it's just crazy, my friends and i are having a performance on 16th of May, so yeah we've been having rehearsals like every single day of every single week. Plus, so much work that we have to put together. I hate this habit of mine which i would end up doing all the work because idk i would rather be satisfied with my own product yknow so yeah piles of stuff to do like video montages and printings and designing! That explains why i've been sleep deprived lol. Anyway, i hope everything will be worth it in the end. Wish us luck for the performance!

Making new friends, learning new styles to rock your covered styles! and just have a tonne of fun :) I would looove to go but sadly it's in Shah Alam, boohoo.

I recorded it during the weekend, so yeah i've always wanted to record a tutorial but didn't have the time, alhamdulillah i finally did one :) this is my first time so sorry if i did anything wrong or don't make sense hihi enjoy <3
It's been ages since i last blogged. Since i don't have my iPhone nor my Macbook with me, it's tougher to blog and dad changed the wi-fi password so like yeah.. He even changed the name of the wifi to "ForgetIt!" LOL i know it's the best for me so like yeah heheh but i miss my tech so much. Going to get it after SPM *le sigh*
Anyway, it's April now, can't believe how quick time flies. These couple of months has been draining me out, mentally and physically exhausted but according to my dad, self-pity leads to failing. Having classes every single day and revising the previous chapters. Tuitions are pretty fun, according to my elder sister who scored 11 distinctions, "you have to enjoy what you're doing!" well hehe i have a huge crush on one of the guy in one of my tuition, he's so cute and charming and smart and just perfect to me! this might sound corny but he gives butterflies in my tummy eheh. So yeah i do enjoy going to my tuitions especially 'that' one with 'that' boy in it lolol dah alang alang dekat tuition studying for SPM, apa salahnya liking a boy right hihi in fact, in boost up my mood and spirit! And making me smarter. That's a fact.
go on press play, you could spend hours on the internet, why not make a change while doing so?
Today after school i came back home, i switched on my Mac and i saw #KONY2012 was trending in Twitter, so i saw a link and it lead me to this video, this video has definitely touched my heart, if you don't feel anything about it after this then i think there's something wrong with you. It's a video to make Joseph Kony, a criminal that abducts thousands of young innocent children to be his army and sex slaves, they were taken away from their parents, i can't imagine how the kid would feel like and parents would feel like, your family, the love of your life been taken away just like that.
Every young child deserves a loving childhood, not a childhood filled with fear. I heard their cries, i heard their stories, i want to make a difference, i would really try my best to help, and i think by spreading this could really help. Every little child has rights to live, they want to enjoy a loving life too, put the materials aside, but focus on love. These children are in midst of hardship, so we as humans of the earth should help eachother no matter what colour, race, religion, nationality that we are because WE ARE ALL THE SAME.
Allah created humanity from a drop of water, which became a blood clot, which became flesh and bones, veins and nerves, hands and feet and inner organs, eyes and ears and nose and mouth, so that we may see, hear, smell and talk. He gave the human being a brain to understand with, a heart to feel with, a tongue to speak with. He blew His soul into it, and it lived. He gave the baby who could do nothing but cry two devoted, loving, compassionate servants called a mother and a father, and fed the baby from its mother’s breast a complete food that needs no fat, no water, no toil of cooking, but is complete.
Day by day, from no knowable source, he makes humanity mature‑with a mind able to discover the rest of creation and its Creator; with a tiny black hole in its eye able to see the worlds, the suns and the planets; with eyelashes around the eye, eyebrows above the eye, to protect its sight; with a tongue and a throat to speak and sing with the most beautiful sound in existence, and with ears to hear. If He didn’t make all this, could it all be? There are so many eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, tongues that cannot speak!
He gave man air and lungs to breathe it, food and a belly to digest it. Food and air turn into life-giving blood, and He made a heart to pump that blood to every corner of our being. The blind see with the sensitivity of their fingertips, and each fingerprint is unique. We who measure the value of things in dollars, what price would we ask for a finger, or a tooth, or an eye? Won’t we be thankful to the One who gave them to us?
The more we want, the more we receive. Not only did He give us our bodies and souls, but He gave us all and everything.
So let's do our part, help each other for a better world for now and for the future.
I can't believe my bestfriend just turned 17! time is passing by so fast! she can take her driver's license now, i'm so happy for her :) well she told me she wanted this year's birthday to be extra special and all, so i tried my best to make it as special as i could heheh and i think she loved it, she was happy! woot! and so i bought her 17 cupcakes for lunch with our friends the other day and on her actual birthday which was on 9/2 we went to tgif and gave her pressies with all our close friends! i love it how they embarrass people by asking the birthday girl/boy to stand on the chair lolol and so yeah we did a couple of surprises for her. I even pranked her, i gave her an iphone box heheheh she thought it was real, LOL but just messing around with her ^^ so yeah, Thoughts that count right? hehe Happy Birthday Alice! Hope you had a great day, i love you so much and thank you for being such an amazing friend and being there everytime oh and dont mind me singing like everyday with my 'beautiful' voice lolol oh and and thanks for listening to my endless stories heheh love you always! P/s: may our friendship last no matter what :)
Assalamualaikum! vas happenin' dawg! hey hey gurlpreng! hehe Anyway, as a new but not so new hijabi, there will be a lot of thoughts that comes by and insecurities, i used to be a free-hair muslim, but a couple of months ago i decided to wear a hijab, i know wearing a hijab doesn't really define what you are inside, your iman defines you but it does give you a sense of reminder and peace, so i wear my hijab sincerely now, it's not as easy as i thought it would be, and every single time a negative thought or insecurity floods my mind, i remind myself why i wear hijab in the first place, that is, to honor God's instructions, and to be a better muslim.
I'm 17, and i know most of us well i used to be like "you're too young to care, let's have fun!" but then i think again, what if the 'fun' stuffs i do leads to maksiat and worse come to worst a baby out of marriage was born, i wouldn't want to make that innocent soul suffer because of my wrong doings. Besides that, it's a disgrace to my parents, siblings, family, relatives, grandparent's reputation, i really dont want to live in sin, i've been through quite a lot, i've done a couple of minor sinful stuffs (i'm still a pure virgin ok), but i truly regret about it and i have repent, Ya Allah the Mighty of Forgiveness, please forgive me.
From the holy quran, Surah An-Nur, Verses #30 and #31 ‘And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)'
So.. this is one of the reason why i wear my hijab and cover my aurat, i love how my everyday outfit reminds me of who i belong to.. that is to Allah SWT. Before i do or say anything, i think twice, should a muslim really say or do that.. Anyway, I'm happy that my friends treat me indifferently even with my hijab on, maybe they also think twice before they say anything? hm. So the other day i went to T.G.I.F to celebrate one of my bestfriend's birthday, when we went to the toilet, one of my non-muslim close friend just suddenly said something that really put a smile on my face, she actually said "Syafiqa, i like what you're wearing, even though you're wearing a hijab, you're still so stylish." Well, that made me feel so good those simple words make me feel like hey, i can be all covered yet still stylish. It's not like i dress up for anyone but i dress up for Allah SWT, to show that my religion is definitely not a burden. My chemistry teacher also was curious about how i look without my hijab and also asked me why do muslims have to wear a hijab, i answered her question until she really understands.
Sometimes, we are seduced by syaitan and are disturbed by them. They will try their best to pollute our mind and lead us to the wrong doings. I'm still a student, i go to classes, and there's cute boys in my class, but then i realize that they don't really look at me when i wear my hijab. So then i hear voices coming into my mind, more like a thought.. of i'm not attractive enough, i look ugly without showing my hair etc etc so then i told my mom and i was hesitating about this whole thing. Then my mother, as a hijabi for many many years tells me that it's actually syaitan that are filling up my thoughts about all this negative stuff. Even my dad tells me that "a real muslim man would look for a real muslim woman to be his soulmate and to be the mother of his muslim children". So i realize that, by wearing a hijab, i can find true friends who respects me, and boys who will respect me and think twice before they do anything. Same goes to me, i would think twice before anything. I thank Allah SWT for helping me out and making me strong to get through all the struggles, because you know what they say, nothing changes overnight. Well... ok i just made that up hehe hope you get my point.
I'm not stating this post to show how alim i am or whatever, just the thought of sharing my journey through a phase with anyone reading this.. :)
