I am a sucker for caffeine


I am a sucker for cute Kopitiam


I am raised with that cute small white coffee cup with creamy coffee


This gonna be me, fangirling, over my favourite local coffee.


please bear with me.

Ok, you see, I love coffee (did everyone gets that?) but even though the Western's cappuccino and latte are good, I will always glorifies Malaysian kopi - be it black with sugars or creamy with condensed milk. 

Roll On: Boring Stuffs I Bought with My RM150 Lazada Voucher

Roll On: Boring Stuffs I Bought with My RM150 Lazada Voucher

Aug 19, 2017

  

In case you guys didn't know, I won an RM150 Lazada Voucher for that Ramadhan Raya Blogger Contest. It was such an amazing feeling and not only that, it was initially an RM100 voucher but when I have submitted my details they sent me the voucher code saying that "oh we changed our mind, have an extra RM50" like what!!!???

So for today, I'm gonna share you guys what I have bought. I'm not kidding you guys though. It was boring stuff. I was focusing on getting things I need that I thought I don't really need this but still, it's gonna be somewhat useful so I have an extra RM150 so why not?

Warning - this gonna involves lots of pictures. I want that you guys could compare the images of the advertisement and the actual thing, so I put both pictures.

#1 RM30 Umobile Topup

I told you I was boring. The freaking mobile top-up was on my top list. You see, I'm just working part time as a private tutor so I gotta have my essentials all fix first. I am using a postpaid account but Umobile allowed the bills to be paid by a simple credit top-up. Easy huh? Got easier as Lazada now sells top-up with no extra charge too! I get the top-up about one or two hours afterwards. Actually, there is a discount for mobile top-up this August, go grab it!

#2 Face Brush

It gets duller with a face brush. I used to have an automatic face brush but it got broken and I thought to give this kind of brush a try. The automatic face brush makes my face feels so clean but although it wasn't that big, it still feels bulky to me. This one is just so cutely small but since I'm using Cetaphil now so it didn't get all foamy yet the soft bristles feel so good.

#3 Vietnam Mask

This mask is just da-bomb and I am boring. Anyway, I am loving this so much and it gets so satisfying once you peel it off. This cost around RM10 here so buying it online was cheaper. Actually, I bought this before and it was spilt by my sisters. I keep this one so well so that the same mistakes won't repeat itself.

#5 Grammar Books

I bought a grammar book, I won the dullest person alive award. 

Apart from tutoring kids, I was also interested to get my grammar on point since I want to write better both in my blog and my poems. I couldn't find any grammar books suitable for me around here and finally, settles for this. It is such a good book too and it was tailored for Malaysian students. I wanted to add this in my Goodreads challenge as well but the publisher didn't have it on Goodreads. So I added it myself. Hee.

#6 Hanging storage

My dull got better as now I have a makcik's dull. I need some storage space that I can simply stash things into it. Here is my solution. I thought it was posted from somewhere in Malaysia. It is not. I bought some silly foldable storage and had it delivered from China guys. I'm hopeless.

#7 Some hand cream

I was contemplating on the idea to have a small hand cream or lotion to carry around since my dry hands are just super annoying. Since lotion hasn't work that well I choose this one. I always loved Nivea deodorant and it got that anti ageing stuff going on and............................ it's cheap. There I said it. It works wonderfully so I guess jackpot?

#8 Chic sandals

I know I said boring but this one gonna be my little joy. The collection of sandals from China is just so beautiful and I thought that I should grab this chance to get one. Going through all kind of design and colour and prices, I finally choose this one. It was not until all have been paid up that I realize it was the wrong size. I can change or return it since it was a voucher which means I would not get anything back. So Nabila got a new sandal now. Yay. By the way, the postage fee has to be paid yourself. Vouchers didn't cover that. Now you know it.

they stiched it at the side and it looks good for me + so secured too. it adds up an inch to Nabila lol.

the sole is so comfortable.

#8 Wireless earphone

I think I have a weird fetish for earphone and headphone. I always have to have something good. I have a big headphone which sounds so good but well big, I needed something I can go around with and not stuck to anything (read as ugly dancing freely). I guess it is time too since my last earphone went missing. That just how it goes with seven siblings. However, this is so cheap like WTH. It works well and the sound is good too. It is currently all compatible with my sisters Huawei and my brothers Lenovo and of course my Xiaomi.

So, let's be frank, am I dull?

Roll On: Getting a Mature and More Confident Style This Eidulfitri

Roll On: Getting a Mature and More Confident Style This Eidulfitri

Jun 19, 2017

Year by year I get more surprised on my own consciousness regarding my choice of attire. To be exact - what I actually want to wear vs what I want to wear just because it is a trend / the norm.

I was never the one to dress up pretty and pretty much-hated ironing so I always have some tudung malas. Usually, if we made plan to go out at a certain time then I will put more efforts into my choice of attire but lately, I was so lazy that I only drape the shawl over my shoulder and that is all. It was always t-shirt and jeans and barefaced. Yup, with acne scars and pale AF lips - I am the epitome of not the least care what you think about me.

I thought it was pretty normal until I got into UKM and found plenty of girls who really put effort each time going out even it is only to the cafeteria. Somehow the idea of really taking care of how you looked all the time kinda made me feel like maybe I didn't put enough effort on myself. I am 24 now. No more snotty bed face anymore~

It wasn't like I am trying to be someone else - I just thought it is a path for me to venture in order to grow up, I can always turn back if I do feel like it is not the right thing for me.

Anyway, even for Eidulfitri, I didn't put much thought into what I am wearing. For the past few years, my aunt has been giving us some fabric to be made into baju kurung and I totally settled for that. I always pick up something plain since I want to make sure I can wear to my class later on and if you read My Dorky and Quirky Lookbooks you'll remember that plain is simply my jam.

However, I realised now the key essence on what impression I want to leave onto people is that this is me - in my most Afifah's look and I am totally rocking the confidence aura out of it. For that, I need to ditch my sluggish and child-like look and start to look mature thus makes people notice/believe in me better. 

I learned to observe peoples with different looks. I look up into my friends choice of attire (at different occasions too) and the air that surrounds them. What made it them and try to compare with the current trend. I observed some trendy and chic people too. The one that totally catches my attention were peoples who dressed up minimally or simply looked the same day by day but have some sort of confident appeal to them. Sort of cool and have a firm stand. Not easily shaken by others and truly know themselves in and out. Like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg~

But actually, it wasn't those millionaires that made me attracted to that style - it was my super successful and confident looking lecturers. They didn't look totally the same day by day, the just have a set of thing they conform too - together with their of own colour palette. There is this one lecturer who totally kills it with her high heels and I totally like those little details that simply striking for me.

I am so babbling like crazy but this is the essence of the title though I wasn't really gonna do a whole essay on it in my blog. I thought it was gonna be some silent discussion and understanding I have inside my head until Lazada blogger contest for Raya asked to write something with "Looking Good and Beautiful". This is my definition of good and beautiful and I am still learning.

Roll On: Jalan Jalan Japan aka The Coolest Thrift Shop Ever

Roll On: Jalan Jalan Japan aka The Coolest Thrift Shop Ever

May 21, 2017

ATTENTION - this post gonna have lots of pictures and I tried to collage some but still, quite some pictures.

We went to One City Mall at Puchong for this thrift shop that my cousins told to have real cheap stuff. I was hooked because she got some cute backpack and well since we didn't have much to do, we just went there for some look and see. 

By the way, One City Mall is quite fancy so imagine how weird it felt when my cousins say they got some thrift shop. 

Apparently, once we got there, it was not just a thrift shop, it took several lots and was freaking two storey shop. It was huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

This place is just huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.
