Finally Legal


*me n cupcakes+ yogurt bepday ;p*

Assalamualaikum wbt! (jawab dpt pahala, hik2 ;p)

On March 12th, 2011, I finally turned 21 on that Saturday :)

fuyoooooooooooo da tua daaaaaaaaa OMG!!!!!!!! XD
Alhamdulillah, I am still alive to this very day to be grateful to Him of all the things that He has given me! :D whether gud things or bad things, I know all of them were indeed from Him for my own good, as He knows best! :)

Celebrated my birthday a few days later when Kak Ada n Izzati nak blanje me mkn cupcakes :) tankiu2 very mucchhhh!! sayanggg koranggg :')

*cupcakes from Indulge nyum3*

*me n housematess :)*


*fooddd :D*


Nak give a summary of my 21 years of living mcm sgt susah hahaha (wlupon pelupa) but maybe I'll try to for only the past 5 years aite? ;p (apela yg dia merepek niii)

Well, I know that I have changed a lot since I graduated from high school. The high school memories with best friends (nenek encheem yg terencheemm, milash, lianna n ramai lagi :D) were awesome! Can't wait to see them all again, insya-Allah :)

So were my experiences in INTEC and so far, my 3 years of living here in the US :)

For the past vs the present, I was:
timid, shy, would be so terrified of public speaking n often fumble on my words, be so negative, ANTI-SOCIAL :P, penakot to speak up, had my heart broken (lelaki2 yg dahulunya tidak berguna wahaha ;p), fashion sense masih sdg diusahakn sbb dulu tomboy-ish :P, low-confident, cry alot. ape lagi? :P

Bknnya nak ckp that I have achieved 100% the opposite of my past, but I know that now I am:
less shy (to friends that I already kenal, they wud understand :P), actually enjoys public speaking sbb that's the time when we have the chance to speak and people actually listens to you, more optimistic (still negative at times haha), KURANG-ANTI SOCIAL :P da lagi reti cakap MELAYU wahaha XD nak speak up tu still a prob at times, n fashion sense takdela sgt cun, but going more to tutup aurat n look pleasant, insya-Allah ;)

(ehh mane pergi part last2? heart broken lagi tak?)

CISSSS mengkantoikn diri sendiri di situuu :P

For the few last parts, I know that I have changed thanks to Him :)

By being more thankful to what Allah has given me, I am more thankful of what I have, and for who I am :)
Of course I will never be perfect. But what does 'perfect' actually means? If perfect in the eyes of the world and the media of having the perfect face n body, I would not want to go there. If perfect means being close to Allah and doing good and preventing evil, loving His Prophet, then that's where I am heading :)

But indeed, we are all at the mercy of Allah. Only He knows what 'perfect' is in His eyes. ;)

Oho with that being said, wlupon now I'm kinda chubby2 (okie not kinda, sgt chubby :P) and ade byk scars on my hands (accidents di dapur :P), jerawat2 menari2 di muka DAN MACAM2 LAGIIHH :P I am still so very much thankful to Him, and I AM HAPPY :)

Sometimes, we would focus too much on our flaws that we have (contoh: my chubbiness and scars), until we forget the rest of the things that we have that are so beautiful that He has given us. (tangan masih ada, kaki, muka sempurna, akal masih ade, mata pon, sihat walafiat, cukup makan)

So why be depressed on the one/two flaws that you have, while you have so much other gifts to celebrate? :) Alhamdulillah! :)

Yup2 I admit that I still have many flaws n sikap2 buruk to perbaiki ;p but to get there, we could either have the road filled with low confidence and sadness to improve ourselves, or the road filled with hope, confidence and faith in Allah that He will help our niat to be a better person,

to be a better daughter, friend, sister, niece, grandaughter, and future wife n mother (insya-Allah ;D)

and of course, to be a better Muslim! :)

okie back to the part of lelaki (kahkahkah) :P
Alhamdulillah, I know that whatever happens, He knows best and it is for the best of me, insya-Allah :)

I've been giving my heart to the wrong people. So now, I give my heart to you Allah, because I know You have created it, so You won't break it like they have :')

Thank you very much to friends and family for your warm wishes and gifts! :)


*unexpected present from housemate~ dolphin chain weeeeeeeeee <3 :D :D
