Imaginary Outfit 1 : 5 a.m Chat

Hello.

It's 5.30 in the morning, and I am actually in the middle of proofreading a thesis (not mine) -- not that I'm any good at it, but I'm trying my best. And right now I'm taking a little break; drank some coffee, browsing through a blog; and BAM, the next thing you know, I ended up writing a post. 

And I might have also created a Polyvore collage. I think sometimes, frequent breaks and a little procrastination here and there are what we need to recharge our batteries.

By the way, in one of my recent previous posts, I might have mentioned that I wanted to become active in blogging. And to be honest, I obviously haven't been actively blogging at all. It has been about a month since that particular post. In my defense, I haven't quite figured out what I want to blog about. And I have been asking myself questions pertaining to this matter. What type of blog do I want this to be? What do I blog about? What is my blogging style? What is this blog's style going to be like? Do I want it to be casual? Or formal? Or what? 

And the most dreadful question of all is : "Would anyone even read my blog?"

But then, as I'm writing this, I remembered a powerful quote by Marie Forleo (she's a fantastic life and business coach. You can check out her Youtube channel here. I am so thankful to my friend Mary for introducing me to her channel). 

She said "the key to success is to start BEFORE you're ready". 

Yes, starting something before you're actually ready can be really nerve-wrecking, terrifying, stressful. However, if you don't take a leap of faith; that very leap that you so desperately need; how are you going to get to the other side and find out what's waiting for you there? Life is too short for not trying. And life is indeed too short for regrets. 

Just do it.

Let's Call This A Comeback

Hello my dear beloved blog (can I call you BB? No? Okay). I've missed you so much. Gosh I haven't uploaded anything here for two years! That is wayyy too long and trust me, I feel so awful about it. But fret not, I'm currently working on a new design for this blog's template. And insya Allah I'm planning to blog again, and this time I want to start being active in blogging. But let's not make any big promises yet! I'm currently practising the principle of "actions speak louder than words" in my life insya Allah; so I'm being careful not to talk too much about something before I actually do it.

So anyway, I had written something in my mockup blog (a blog where I test templates and designs before applying them here). This will do for now. See you again later insya Allah! So happy to be back! Gosh I've missed writing so muchhhhh. I've realized lately that I actually love writing. I need to start writing a new novel. Okay maybe not, I take that back. See ya later alligator! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As copied from my mockup blog:

Hello hello testing one, two, three. Currently I'm using a template bought from Etsy (actually my sister bought it hehe). I love the design of this template so much, it's elegant, minimalistic and simple. So let's see how it works. I'm thinking of making some changes here and there, just to personalize it a little -- to make it more me. I have some things in mind, just need to do some designs on Photoshop first, anddddd this template will be done. 

But of course, not tonight though. Eid (a.k.a Hari Raya Aidilifitri a.k.a Hari Raya Puasa) is on Monday (gasp, 2 more days!), so I still have a lotttt of things to prepare for it. And tonight my to-do list includes doing laundry (some of them require hand-washing *cries a little inside*), grooming, packing clothes for balik kampung, andddd what else? Oh yeah, not to forget, mixing and matching clothes, tudungs and jewelry -- for Raya day one and Raya day two. 

You see, I don't have a proper baju raya this year (as in a complete set of baju kurung) because I think they're a complete waste of money -- at least for me. Because I don't wear baju kurungs that much, especially if they are fancy. You know how fancy baju kurungs for raya can be right? What's with the beadings and everything. And the only place / event that I would wear those baju kurungs again after raya would be wedding ceremonies; which don't happen everyday. That's why I decided that blouses matched with long skirts are the best option as baju raya for me. If Nurita Harith can do it elegantly, why can't I? :p

So anyway, before I forget, this is only a mockup blog -- where I test my HTML codes and template before I apply them onto my real blog. My real blog is www.myesarahhalim.blogspot.com . I've had that blog for years, since 2009 I think. But I haven't uploaded anything there since 2012. God. Two solid years. However, lately I've been thinking that I should be blogging again, and this time I want to be active at it. Insya Allah. Let's see how it goes.

Have a great few last days of Ramadan to you, and Selamat Hari Raya!

Okay that's all for now. Panjangnya post omg.

That Magical Land Beneath Your Skull

Instead of talking rubbish, take a second to just be silent and THINK! Explore the beautiful magical bizarre land that is in your head, beneath your skull, that is your brain, the one that is beautifully created by God only for you; and listen to what it has got to say. :)

Hi I've Missed You

Herrr OMG I can't wait for the semester break to finally come. I have a bunch of stuff to put in here, but I just couldn't find the time to do so. Wait for me, my dear nearly-forgotten blog. Just one more week!

I Can't Wait for My Sister's Homecoming!

My sister Naddy is studying in Australia and I haven't seen her for about a year and I've missed her so much. She's my best friend in the whole wide world and we've been best friends for 20 years! I mean, seriously, have you been best friends with someone for 20 years? Other than her, I haven't been best friends with anyone that long.

I miss going out with her where she would drag me to every shop she sees (this annoys me sometimes but oddly enough, this is what I miss so much about her), I miss going out with her where we would just window shop and buy nothing, I miss her contagious laugh, I miss her impossibly long eyelashes and her beautiful supermassive no-eyelids eyes, I miss her clumsiness, I miss listening to her stories, I just miss herrrrr! Sobs. :'(

She'll be home this Sunday, and she'll be here for two weeks. I swear we're going to cry and scream and be all emotional at the airport this weekend! Haha I'm so exciteddddd. :'D

So, this is a drawing I made of her. When I was drawing this, all I wanted was to make her smile whenever she sees this and make her miss me a little bit less. :)

My super-beautiful sister. :)

Sorry

Dear MyeDoodles,

Sorry for being such a lazy bum to even care to upload anything here. :p It's not like I've stopped sketching & doodling, I still do these every single day. But I've just been so lazy or busy to somehow scan/capture my sketches/doodles and upload them in here.

But I PROMISE I'll alwaysss upload stuff in here.

All Work and No Play Makes Mye A Dull Girl

Oh these are just a few doodles/sketches that I did while I was studying for my final. Reading those notes & wordsss just makes me sleepy. *yawn*

So I took a few breaks and doodled / sketched these to keep me awake.
And also to entertainment me from the boredom of readinggg & studyinggg.

Oh yeah this was done at 5++ in the morning & I was superrr hungry. Hee. ;p

I was listening to a sweet love song when I drew this.
Hehe I was giggling the whole time I was drawing this because it's just soooo cute! :)
(The guy was giving the girl some flowers but she got too shy & acted all silly. Hee.)

This is just a quick sketch. Done less than 2 or 3 minutes I think.

This is like a reflection of myself. Yeah yeah I always trip when I walk. *sigh*

Have I told you I was superrr hungry? Oh yes I have.

Oh yeah this was done on my Design Methodology's notes.

Okayyy that's all for today. I'm gonna continue readingggg. eeeeek.

New Header

So I've changed the header for this blog. It's just a simple one and I made it myself using Photoshop. But I'm not really satisfied with it actually. I'll make a new one whenever I feel inspired. :)




My activity for today is :: STUDYING.
I have a final exam coming up on 16th. And I've only read two chapters. *sigh* -.-"
Luckily I only have one paper for this semester -- Design Methodology.
It's a subject on theories about design etc etc. (err why am I explaining this again?)
