Wazzup

Hai, I'm back again! I think I have to stop promising that I'll be back for the next post cause GOD KNOWS WHEN I'M FREE TO DO UP MY BLOG

So many great things that happened in the last few months.

1) Fauzi's ORD

You know what that means!!!!! 2 years of National Service is over for the precious boy. Ups and downs with the boy from the start. I could still remember the first day Fauzi had to enlist to the army. It was definitely an emotional moment cause I was in school and I couldn't send him off (we were still new, mind you) so all I could do was sob a little and texted a lengthy good bye text..... I don't know why but occasionally I catch myself feeling sad about the fact that he's not in the army anymore. So used to listening to his stories every night, ranting about his cadets and field camps and all those overseas training. It's all over and completed and done and finished and settled. Fauzi definitely had his 'golden days' in the SAF. How almost all officers know him because he's been into so many companies (Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Lima, Kilo, Golf) as a trainer in Pasir Laba. I must say, his NS life was filled with so much participation. Even in the last few months before his ORD, he was STILL BUSY. This man... shows so much dedication in every task that was given to him and that is one of the reasons why I love him. He never gives up. He never says no. Nothing is impossible for him.... and here we are today... to another phase of life with you.












Oh how time flies. Missing you in your uniform.


2) Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2016

YASSSSSSSSS all those yummy ketupat, rendang, serunding, my mom's TASTY satay goreng, sambal prawns. WOW I can go on about the food and all my beautiful friends in their baju Melayu on Instagram. Colours makes me happy. I love seeing families in unity. Here's one or two (or maybe a few more) shots with the family.









Candid shots with the boss of the fam.

3) New Toy for Fauzi and I

Perks of being in the army - Fauzi made so many friends and acquaintances and his closest mate in the army had a camera for sale and for a price that's dirt cheap, we made up our minds within seconds. Update: This camera is amazing. NO REGRETS. And I got myself a really handsome personal photographer so it makes everything better.





4) Day Out with Shireen and Fauzi

After months of delaying meet ups, I finally met up with my best friend. This time, I have my boyfriend with me. Grew up with Shireen right from Sec 1, yikes I'm gonna miss her when she flies off to the UK to continue her studies. But it's okay la, only a year.......... anddddd with God's will,  a trip to the UK next August!





Here's one with my soulmate.


5) Driving License

I finally did it!!!!! *18 points* My eyes were tearing up when the examiner was like, "Okay la, enough to pass today" LIKE FINALLY. THANK HEAVENS FOR EVERYTHING. Okay y'all if you guys ever need a PRIVATE driving instructor, I'ma introduce you to my instructor!!!!!

He's really a nice man, he's pretty popular hahahah if you guys ever wanna know about him, just Google his name!!!!!! Long story short, I was probably one of his longest trainee to date. I enrolled under him on Jun 2015. It took me over a year to get my driving license. But it's all worth it. 
To those who are curious why I had to take a year......... it's because I took a break from Oct 2015 to May 2016. My finances were drying up. BUT I'M BACK AND STRONGER AS EVER AND SCORED. Work hard and you will be rewarded.





And I guess that is allllllll for this post. See ya - S.

I'M HERE, I'M HERE!

February has been an emotional month, only because it was the last month of my poly year. And then, that was it. I have to start working and start saving and plan for the future.

I really have no clue on what I want to do and I'm so helpless. I never felt so lost before, all my decisions in the past seemed so easy to make. I really hope I got my mind sorted real soon. I hate feeling this way.
___________________________________________________

And April is here! LOL

I've been so lazy (WHAT'S NEW?) ever since the school holidays begun and I've been spamming myself with work so that I can get some $$$

It's pretty bleak the last two months, don't think I did anything special. But seeing so many of my friends going overseas for their solo/group graduation trip is making me green with envy. I'm not one who gets jealous over things/people but this is something else! I'm working really hard the last month and felt that I "overworked" at certain points. Also because I tend to sleep WAY PAST MY BEDTIME (and I'm the kind that sleeps before 1 usually?) And if 1 is considered late, you guys wouldn't believe the time I sleep sometimes. At the end of it all, I know it will be worth every sleepless night and crazy days at work.

I've been delaying (and not even doing) my monthly blog posts because 1) Laziness is a bad habit and 2) Lately I don't get any tinge of inspiration from anywhere which sucks A LOT!!!!

Alright, back to what I've been doing the last few months...

Edit: It's already May! WHAAAAAAAAAAT.......






Fauzi really wanted me to see him in his No.1 before he "ORD", so here I am! These photos are supposed to be a secret and only be uploaded when he's done with NS but of course, I get the exclusive rights to post them here first hehe

I would write a whole chunk of cheesy things for him, but that, can wait. I still have a few weeks to think of something sweet to pair it up with a pic on Instagram.... besides, procrastination and busy me is a big NO-NO. So, I'll take my time, thanks.

Wait for it okay, my Fauziojin.





AHA, I REMEMBERED GOING TO WORK LIKE CRAZY IN MARCH, AFTER EXAMS WERE OVER, ONLY BECAUSE I HAD TO SAVE UP FOR A SHORT TRIP WITH SOME OF THE CBS. but YAY, the trip was a great one....... though I was down with diarrhoea on my first day lol. I wanted to do a vlog (videos are ready) but importing stuff got hard and I was like F*CK IT, I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS. 





Another special day in the last month, because I got invited to my very first birthday party!!!!!! So happy that I get to see MOST of my favourite girls again after so long!!!!!!!!!!! Happiest birthday to one of the CB - Iqra! Love you.











And, finally.... G R A D U A T I O N.............. I honestly don't know what to feel, I was so excited for it and that day went so well. Fauzi got into the auditorium and got to witness every single thing, I was so happy. All my loved ones were there to see me on stage. It's definitely a day that I will etch in my memory, for sure. 

The timing for our session was so late, everyone was rushing off somewhere after the entire ceremony ended like, at 7pm. Because of that, I didn't get to take pictures with so many people. 

Nevertheless, I've had so much fun the last few months, with so many fun and good memories that are gonna stay. Can't wait to see what's in store for me heh

Till then, happy reading! (and I promise that I will TRY to publish monthly if I'm not busy!)

Next stop: Finding a career that I'm passionate about.

Last Lap!

So, this time round, I have vowed to publish my post on time so here I am!! Edit: Late again LOL

January has been rather mundane, only because Fauzi had to go to Taiwan for 3 freaking weeks while I was struggling for my report submissions (which is over, thank God)

And also, I just got back my Mid Semester Assessments results and I'm so thankful for everything so far. Pretty sure I flunked my report writing so screw that, I'm so better off with examinations REALLY.

Lately, I've been getting so pressured to do well for my classes everyday and I get so paranoid that I will end up with a bad grade for the class. A bad grade means a goddamn "C". Edit: I just got my first undeserving C wtf

Other than being pressurised (by my alter ego) to do well, I've been so emotional about school. Went through my old photos right from the start of Y1S1 and I can't help but wish that I could relive those moments again, to spend more time with my friends, participate in school events and be a part of something big. I'm graduating and I'm afraid to step out to the working world. I see myself as an independent person but I hate this uneasy feeling. The school had a career fair for graduating students and some major companies came down - again, I feel shitty. I don't know what I want. I should have spent some time before this, to consider all the possible jobs that I see myself in... I'm hopeless. As much as I love doing retail, I don't see myself doing that for the long run. Burning my weekends and public holidays is not what I want to do, for the rest of my working life.

Maybe I'm just choosy. Thinking about jobs makes me feel so uneasy, I guess I'll just wait and see what awaits me in the future.

Back to what I've been doing for January (the interesting things of course)








Adventure Cove with my favourite boy! Such a great experience, managed to go snorkelling and most of the rides and I think it's great! This was before Fauzi had to fly to Taiwan so it was definitely worthwhile to spend some time with him and the siblings.



Meeting the busy SQ girl, I'm so proud of her and her achievements. She's living the life, travelling to so many beautiful places, meeting new people and grow as an individual.


Dress Up Day for work the other weekend! We get to wear sports attire because we are promoting our latest collection "Get Active"
Tiring day but I had fun, with the colleagues.

AND ON THE 30TH OF JAN, it marks the second year of being together with Fauzi!!!! YAY TO US, YAY FOREVER.





Fauzi is just so handsome, sigh. What did I do to deserve this boy?

There are days that we hit rock bottom but we always grow stronger each day. To be better for each other and work hard for the future. I love him more each day, and deeply. Even though we knew each other for 3 years, there's always something to learn about our relationship. Every day, I feel so blessed that I have someone by my side, through the ups and down. He makes me so happy, it's so hard to describe it but I just want my forever with him.

Happy 2nd anniversary, my precious. I love you so much. I'm so proud of you for staying strong for the last few days, you're a hero. It'll get better. I'm here for you, my love. Always.
