the weather tho...
Hellooooo, it has been almost three months of me being in the United States and i think it has already come the exciting (read: not so exciting) part of studying abroad; THE FREAKING COLD WEATHER. Oh my god, my asian ass just cannot stand this cold weather anymore guys... it is just fall, not winter yet ok and it was already snowing on some days, like what......
Anyways, I think I'm ready for winter already (CEH). I already bought all winter stuffs, but not so branded la. I bought them barely for survival because I want to save the best for Black Friday which is the end of this month yay. Talking about winter stuffs, I bought a used parka (forever21) from a thrift shop for just $20, some thermal wear both top and legging, a winter boot, two pairs of thermal socks, a pair of gloves and I'm just gonna use my pashmina from msia as my neck scarf, settle! I think I've mentioned earlier that it is fall now so I'm gonna show some of beautiful pictures (I think) of me :p
It was super duper cold when these pictures were taken but I just don't even bother guys. I just want to have beautiful photos of me under a tree full with yellow leaves. Alhamdulillah my expectation becomes reality π My friend, Atiah, helps me to take these pics, basically we helped each other la and then our hands became numb because it was just too cold and we just keep taking pictures, things we do for Instagram feed guys (and also memories ok, strong excuse this one right? π)
Oh!! I also went to a field trip to detroit last weekend if I'm not mistaken. I think I'm going to update a blogpost on that but later ok? Now, i just want to list out the progresses that I think I've made after three months here.
1) I am going to work! It will be my first experience ever working since I've never worked before even when I was in Malaysia and guess what? Tomorrow is my orientation day to work and I'm going to start working after that yay (all I can see now is money) The wage is like 9.75 per hour and I've to work min 12 hours per week so you guys do the math la ok?
2) I think I cook pretty well now HAHAHA. I've cooked a lot of dishes that of course I never did when I was in Malaysia and maybe I even won't π I cooked ayam masak merah, ayam paprik, nasi lemak, buttermilk chicken. I even made burger malaysia and brownies yalls (you guys must be like, seriously? ni Syukrina ke? don't worry guys, me too) here's some proofs just in case you guys still in the disbelief state π
and many more..... π
3) I bought things that I've been wanting for so long but I know it's kinda hard for me to buy them in Malaysia since they are pricey and I just don't want to spend a lot of money for these things, I mean they are not necessity, they are just me being shopaholic HAHA. But here, everything is like cheap cause you know the currency... so, I bought The Ordinary Skincare, Tarte Cosmetics, Reebok sweatshirt, Uniqlo clothings and this is just the starting guys, a lot more to come, I bet you. Not to mention, the amount of Starbucks that I've purchased, masyaAllah... it's like coolblog ππ
4) MY SKIN! i just in loveeee with my skin here, i mean, i love my skin even when i was in Malaysia but here... oh my goodness, my skin type changes guys, from a combination skin to a normal skin, I COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPIER. Who doesn't love a healthy skin right? So, for now, I don't have problem with oily T-zone just like I used to have before, I've no pimples at all even when I'm on my period. It was just I've to wear moisturizer which is my aloe vera gel twice a day because my skin sometimes tend to be dry. My holy grails are Himalaya neem purifying facial wash, The Ordinary Niacinamide serum and Nature Republic aloe vera gel and sometimes my biore sunblock and that's it!
I think that is all for today.... gonna keep this blog updated! Oh, the detroit field trip, that one deserves a blog post. Aite, talk to you guys later, bye :)

we live under the same sky
βTo put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.β
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
