Sooooooo happy that I finally got the chance to meet Dian Pelangi in person..she's such a sweetheart! To me she is really really really inspiring. Thanks for the lovely time today, dear..:)

It was also nice to meet her team Puteri, Shella, Iymel and Zaki...can't wait to share with you all what we did today! Yay! :)

Power & Responsibility

With great power comes great responsibility. Ultimately my favorite quote, from the Spiderman movie. Being a woman is a privilege. But remember, with privilege, comes great responsibility too. Sometimes it can be exhausting. Being a woman means able to multitask, to cope with a LOT of things, to handle family and friends and work and love life and social life and house chores while making sure we always look good ourselves because somehow people judge a woman based on her appearance. Isn't it tiring? I'm exhausted, you know. I guess being a woman IS about being the real superhero in life. And that at the end of the day, we just gotta accept that that's how life works for us women. Sorry for the randomness.

Stayin' Alive

If I were to look back and evaluate my life, I can conclude that Allah wants my life to not be easy. Whatever I want, I have to fight and work very hard for it. And within the difficult journey(s), I have learned that patience and submission are the key to keeping the whole journey enjoyable. Because the journey can be very long. And winding. But with great determination and faith, everything will turn out right, or even better.

Thank you, Allah...for never giving me a shortcut to the things I wish to achieve in life. In that way, I really treasure every day of my life, with all my heart. And I really really really thank You for giving me a happy soul. Sometimes I wonder why I am always happy no matter how hard things are around me.

It's a POP Culture!

Hi, fellas! I have something to share! Hehehe...I don't know why I'm really nervous about it but I just am.

Soooooooo aside from running my biggest love, Up, my soul sister and I have started a new shoe line called....POP FLATS! Yayyyyy! We wanted to offer something slightly different from what we usually see in the market when it comes to flats, hence the idea of POP FLATS itself. The brand's DNA is bold and witty, basically designs that we create out of our sense of humor, if that even makes sense heheh. But yes, this new brand is just pure fun and joy, and we hope you can feel it too and moreover love what we're doing! Sooooo here it is. Do visit our shop now, everyone! Muah! :)

Another Viewpoint

You know, I don't like it when someone says to me, "if you're sad or upset about your current situation, look out there and see that there are many other people who are less-fortunate than you.". I don't like that mindset, about how we should be (more) grateful for having a life - at least - better than some other people out there. In a way, you are happy for other people's sufferings. I find that very selfish and heartless. When I am sad or upset, I prefer to look up and find motivation from people that are more fortunate than me, and tell myself that "if they can make it, then I can make it too, either in the same way or in my own way.". And being grateful is between us and God, having no need to compare our lives with anyone else out there.

Warm Colorful Bodies

Today I went to watch Warm Bodies, and sitting on my left inside the cinema were 3 young girls. During the movie, they kept on chatting and giggling and I found it very annoying, so I casually "ssshhhhhhh"ed them. They all looked at me and gave me a lottttt of attitude. Not only did they ignorantly continue their movie-irrelevant chat, the girl beside me started talking about me loudly. Things like "gosh, who's this girl sitting beside me? Asking us to shhhhh!" etc. She then took out her phone so that the screen light would disturb me, and not satisfied enough, she took out her iPad as well, and started singing. I stared at her with full confusion thinking how on earth can such a person exist, and she bravely enough said to me, "whattt? got a problem?". I shook my head and continued watching the movie and decided to not give a flying apple. But on the contrary, despite her (and their) extreme level of so-called "attitude", they left just before the movie ended, dark enough to slip away and not show their real faces. Real cowards.

My God, I really felt like snapping, but then I kept telling myself that once I've made a point, then my job is done. If they still wanna act insane, then insane it is cause it's not my loss anyway that they didn't get to watch the movie properly because they were too busy trying to annoy me further.

You see, when you make a mistake, you should simply acknowledge and apologize. Why extend it further? Being ill-mannered like that just isn't cool. Have class, people. Don't act trashy.
