Title-less.

Sometimes, 

Some words are better left unspoken.

Some songs are better left unsang.

Some actions are better left undone.

Some food are better left uneaten.

Some problems are better left unsolved.

Some movies are better left unwatched.

Some secrets are better left untold.

Bite your tongue,

Glue your eyes,

Seal your lips,

Put your fingers into your ears.

And you,

You will remain unhurt.

You will remain composed.

You will remain as yourself.

There will be,

No heart to be broken,

No tears to be shed,

No blood to be spilled,

No trust to be shattered.

Sometimes,

Some poems are better left unrecited.

Some titles are better left ungiven,

Some authors are better left unknown.

The Ambitious Ambition.

Remember how teachers back then loved to ask us, 'what do you want to be when you grow up?'. I believe most of us would answer with something like, 'a doctor', or 'a teacher', or 'an engineer', or 'a pilot' and lots more along the line. Right?

Well, I myself told my teachers (and friends) that I wanted to become a doctor. I wanted to be a pilot but my dad didn't think that such job is appropriate for girls. So, I gave a second thought and chose doctor as my ambition. Dad was happy. So was mom. They loved the idea of me wanting to become a doctor. Whose parents wouldn't, right?

And no, I didn't turn out to be a doctor. I almost did get myself into studying medicine but I'm glad I didn't. My dad doesn't want his kids to study abroad so I had to kiss my so-called ultimate dream goodbye. It wasn't really hard as doctor wasn't really my real ambition to begin with.

Now that my ambition just found itself a grave to rest in peace, I was left with nothing else. I couldn't make up my mind. Even worse, I couldn't picture myself in five years' time. I was indecisive.

Due to various twists of facts, I received five placement offers from two local universities.
 - Bachelor of Product Design in USM
 - Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning in USM
 - Bachelor of Chemistry (with hons.) in UiTM
 - Bachelor of Chemical Engineering in UiTM
 - Bachelor of Education (TESL) in UiTM.

See? It was definitely not an easy choice to make. I was torn. I always love chemistry, so if it was up to me, I would definitely pick to major in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering. And I love English too. Probably, a wee bit more than I love chemistry. But I wasn't keen of teaching. And dad was not keen of me becoming an engineer. Again, according to him, this is not an appropriate job for a girl. And mom, she had always wanted me to be a teacher.

As you could have guessed, I enrolled in TESL. And the rest is history.

My point is, if I can rewind the time and go back to the days when my teachers asked me such questions, I would answer it differently. I would tell them, 'When I grow up, I want to make my parents happy,'.

Good nite! ;)

Rakastan sinua koko sydämestäni ♥

G'day, mate. ;p

Today is our three hundreds and sixty sixth day of being an item and I swear to God, I am so damn freaking over the moon. And because of that, today I grinned like an idiot and I reckon some of the teachers (and students) might have noticed it.

I am happy.
I am jubilant.
I am extremely exultant.
I'm happy like a kid who had just eaten her Happy Meal.
I'm happy like I have been given a limitless credit card and I can shop all shoes and handbags and dresses and scarfs and every single thing that I want and I don't even have to pay a single penny for that.
Yes, I am that happy.
I am happy to the extent that I fail to find perfect words or phrases to express my supreme happiness.

Aite, I may as well stop telling you how happy I am; I think I have over-used the word 'happy'.

Anyhow, no worries as I won't bore you with how everything started a year ago. I prefer to keep it as our little secret, something that will be told over and over again to our kids, InsyaAllah.

Over a year of committing myself to this relationship, I have experienced a lot of life-changing lessons.
I have finally learned how to put my trust in the hands of a guy.
I learned to dream beyond the sky.
I learned to allow my heart to be pleased with imperfections.
I learned to deliberate over my decisions.
I learned to give without taking.
I learned to love without hating.
And I learned to let my guard down.

Since the past 366 days, not a day has gone by without us talking to each other. Good morning texts and good night calls are vital. Like others, we do fight and have rows and arguments. But, we never conclude the day with anger. That, is among millions of things that I love about us.

I could go on and on and talk about how magical our love story is. But I won't because I know some of you are already on your way running for buckets. Gotcha!

So,

O Allah, thank You for these 366 days of pure happiness and awesomeness. I am forever grateful to You for leading us to each another. While others get to brag about how big their house is, or how well they do in their business, or how much money they make everyday or how bright their skin glow, You give me reasons and more reasons to be grateful for being blessed with a man who happens to be my best friend, my guardian, my caretaker, my secret keeper and my joker.
Thank You for listening to my prayer.
And please, ease our journey to Your jannah.

Three hundreds and sixty six days ago, I stopped reading fairy tales as I began to write one of my own. Thank you, co-writer, Mohd Redzuan bin Mohd Zin. ;) 

It's been a year, Love. A year full of love. ♥

Signs that You are with the Right One

Here's a checklist that can help you to measure the compatibility between you and your significant other. 

1- Do you laugh at each other?

2 - Can you see yourself with him/her in thirty years to come?

3 - Does his/her embrace feel like home? Is he the one that you seek in time of joy, sorrow and boredom?

4 - Can you read him/her like an open book? Does he/she buy your fake smiles?

5 - Does he/she know what to do when things get rough for you?

6 - Does the healthy and loving relationship of yours make others envy and wish they are in your shoes?

7 - When you have a good or bad news, is he/she the one that you turn to?

How many YES did you score? 

;D

Princessy Enough?

All girls in this world are princesses. At least, to their fathers. And I believe that all of us want to be treated like one. But the question is, are we eligible enough to be treated that way? Do we behave princess-y enough?

If you think that behaving princess-y means acting like a spoiled brat, you may want to consider reconstructing your perception. On the contrary, a princess should possess outstanding characteristics that will distinguish her from others. Honesty, bravery, intelligence, compassion, kindness, gorgeous and gracefulness are among the traits that one must have if she wants to be acknowledged as a princess. Possessing these traits will make you beautiful at soul, something that even Photoshop or 10-inch make ups can't do.

Disney is famous for its lines of brave and lovely princesses. Each character represents different talents, abilities, cultures and ethnicities. Let's take a peek into their personalities so that you will be able to see which princess is your true royal match! ;D

Rapunzel

Rapunzel has a multi-faceted personality. In her tower, Rapunzel is confident and determined. She takes time to study and educate herself about the world, and also develops and nurtures talents such as cooking and painting. Her curiosity eventually leads her to pursue her dream of seeing the annual display of lights in the sky. As she leaves her tower for the first time she is a bit shy and jumpy, and anxious about her choice to embark on such a journey. She vacillates between worry and excitement but eventually her sense of curiosity and thrill for discovery win out and she demonstrates great courage and bravery as she faces the world. She is smart, kind, charismatic, and adventurous. She shows that she is not afraid to stand up for herself should the need arise.

Princess Belle (from Beauty and the Beast)

Belle is a free thinker and a dreamer. She likes to read and go on adventures with her imagination. She is patient towards others but is not afraid to speak her mind. She is indeed very opinionated and quite intelligent. Belle is also compassionate and does not concern herself with appearances. Although Belle is stubborn, she is also very kind, loyal, graceful, and valiant.

Cinderella

Cinderella has a positively cheerful and sunny attitude no matter the circumstances. She is always hopeful of good things to come and is extremely patient and endlessly kind. Cinderella believes that through hard work and perseverance all her dreams can come true. She is very strong willed and determined, but always well-meaning and caring. Cinderella is incredibly honest and faithful, always standing for what is right.

Mulan

Mulan seems to have little interest in romance. She is very independent and self-reliant. Although Mulan is clumsy, she makes up for it with courage and spunk. She is very brave and even heroic. Mulan has incredible determination and ingenuity, and can be a bit mischievous at times.

Pochahontas

In the Native American tongue, the name Pocahontas means "Little Mischief" or "Naughty One." Indeed, Pocahontas is very free spirited and independent and sometimes gets into trouble. She loves adventure and nature, and has a real connection with animals. She is highly spiritual. Pocahontas is also very wise, noble, and brave. She is also athletic, skillful, and strong.

Ariel (from The Little Mermaid)

Ariel has a great passion for discovery and adventure. She is known to follow her heart, which often gets her into trouble for disobedience. Ariel is energetic, fun-loving, and outgoing, which makes her fun to be around. Ariel can be quite stubborn and determined and is sometimes classified as a bit of a daredevil.

Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty)

Aurora is blessed with the gifts of beauty and song. She has a beautiful singing voice but is otherwise soft spoken. She has a very sophisticated and refined air about her and is a very loyal friend. Princess Aurora is a hopeless romantic and has a great passion for love. She is kind, selfless, and obedient.

Jasmine (from Aladdin)

Jasmine is a spirited and headstrong young lady. She is fiercely independent with plenty of self-confidence and willpower. Princess Jasmine is rich and powerful and often comes across as sharp-tongued and arrogant. She is cunning and clever, but extremely honest and good at heart. Her impetuousness and curiosity often lead her on exotic adventures.

Snow White

Snow White is the type of person that sees the good in everyone and everything. She always follows her heart and does what's right. Snow White can be described as sweet, charming, cheerful, gentle, and pure. She never judges anyone, and is very nurturing and kind to others. Snow White can also be described as naive and innocent. She is very trusting and unfailingly optimistic.

Princess Tiana (from The Princess and The Frog)

Princess Tiana is a disciplined, hard-working individual who is not afraid to do things herself. She is independent and self-motivated. Tiana uses these traits to develop her skills as a talented chef. Princess Tiana is very funny, friendly and down-to-earth.

Lafee - Tell me why

I am extremely extremely extremely extremely busy but somehow I feel obliged to keep my blog updated. So here I am. I try to recruit my brain cells to start working and find me some beautifully creative words to write. But meh. As always, they refuse to obey my commands and left me hanging like the hangaroo.

Aite, as much as I love to pour out all of my brain cells here as a punishment for their refusal, I got to work on my scripts and hence, I have to put this post to an end. Prematurely. As always.

But before that, I'm going to leave you guys (and girls) with this favourite song of mine. It was sang by my favourite Deutch artist, Lafee. Will put more infos/vids/piccies of Lafee once I have time to do so.

Until then, enjoy yourself. And sweet dreams! ;)

That Girl in the Mirror

I often feel insecure about myself. Over the years, I have successfully developed the idea that I will never be good enough for my beloveds as I believe that I will never be able to meet their expectations.

And truth be told, there are times when I hate myself for being myself.

So, last night, for the hundredth time, my superboyfriend and I had a discussion on this issue (yet again). I could tell that he was getting tired of talking about the same thing over and over again.

The talk went on and on for a while and I kept denying whatever being said.

Suddenly, he made me stood next to him and asked me to look straight into a mirror.

He grabbed my arm and said,

'I love that girl in the mirror.'
'Every little thing about her.'

I think I cried.

No, I didn't. But I did shed a tiny tear and tried damn hard to make it invisible to his eyes.
