3 Important Life Lessons I Learned This Week

November 18, 2016

I shared in past few days that my friends and I are opening orders for awesome LUSH products in previous two entries. Yes, you can still do so before Saturday, 19th November 2016, 12pm (Malaysia time).

Honestly, this is kinda my first experience to be a personal shopper like this. I have my own reasons to do that. For example, it is good to exercise my mind that I need to do something while waiting for job or interview after graduation. And alhamdulillah, what I am doing right now is preparing myself for that.

Nice view to start Friday :D

Friday is a good day to reflect our hectic week while our heart already looking forward for the weekend. So, let me share what I gained through out these past few days. :)

1. It is hard to earn money.

I feel ashamed of myself for NOT trying business EARLIER. I am too scared and feel too awkward to approach people. Being an ambivert, sometimes, it feels kind of hard to meet MANY random people but seriously it is quite fine right now.

And, Czech is not a place where students can do business with its products, like Malaysian students in India always come out with Indian sarees' business, in Korea with Korean cosmetics products. What's famous in Czech is first, the beer. Maybe next one is Swarovski's crystals and jewelries. You know, the one Neelofa put on her Hijab's products. But, they are kinda expensive to make pre-order or ready-stock.

But, maybe I should try? HAHAHA

Hmm, the other thing I realised that I move around a lot; walking and cycling - which took a lot of muscle works, especially in late autumn like this. Haha. Sometimes, I need to survey the prices from different shops to quote the best prices to the buyers. Oh, in this case I am talking about being a personal shopper for Czech's traditional honey cake ordered by my graduated seniors. I can say they miss everything about Czech right now. They requested so many random items - like university car stickers?

I am more than happy to serve them :D

2. Business is about sacrificing our time, money and energy.

I described already about energy consumed to do this job. :) But, it helps me to exercise at the same time and I love it. Move our body, people!

Glad to have free week for the time being. I still have classes in the morning to focus on. To be able to differentiate what is my priority at a specific time is the key to all of these.

3. Entertain customers and provide the best services to them.

I am a shy person, but I can be loud as well to people who share / speak about common interests :) Hehe. Otherwise, being a listener is what I always do.

Maryam and I have different personalities, but I can say our differences a bit supporting each other. She's way more creative than I am, while I am more outspoken than her. Only Allah knows how was our conditions when we discussed this plan. Only He knows how many times we kept on repeating, "Ya Allah, segannyaaaaaa." Haha. Yep, the first step is always the hardest. Same like a small baby trying to take his first step. Similar situation.

We are on our way to overcome this weakness, and I feel grateful to say we improved A LOT.

Top 5 LUSH Products Maryam Loves The Most :D

November 16, 2016

Tadaaaa, Maryam in the house, she contributed this amazing post!

As I mentioned in previous post, Maryam will share top 5 LUSH products she loves the most. So, shall we start?

Let's go!

1) Let The Good Times Roll (Facial Cleanser)

This wonderful face and body cleanser has maize flour, polenta (cornmeal), corn oil and a dash of cinnamon powder. It’s a gentle yet scrubby cleanser which leaves your skin feeling totally smooth and soft with the caramel popcorn scent! If you love sweet scents, take a sniff at this cleanser and it’ll blow your mind away!

You can even find the real popcorn in this product! - Credit to http://www.elaloves.com/fall-lush-haul/

Quick tip : take a pea size amount. Add water to make somewhat like a paste. Massage on face while indulging it’s heavenly scent. Rinse off with warm water.

2) Mask of Magnaminty (Face Mask)

This is hands down one of the most popular products from Lush. It consists of peppermint oil to stimulate the skin, marigold oil to treat the skin, evening primrose seeds to gently exfoliate, kaolin to nourish and honey for antibacterial properties.

This mask is suitable for all skin types, whether you’re dry, oily, combination or even acne-prone. It pulls out all the impurities and brightens the skin!

Credit to LUSH

Quick tip : take a good size amount and apply to the face, immediately feel the tingling feeling from the peppermint! Allow to dry for 15-20 minutes. Remove with water by circular motions to obtain exfoliation.

3) Honey I Washed My Hair (Solid Shampoo)

Yes you read that right, it’s a solid shampoo! It consist of wild orange, bergamot oil and honey which gives you soft and shiny hair. It’s an awesome alternative to a regular shampoo because it’s travel friendly! Just toss it in your bag and you’re good to go!

Credit to LUSH

Quick tip : glide it around 3-4 times on your scalp and it lathers instantly!

4) Tea Tree Water (Face Mist)

Great for mopping up those excess oils in the skin. It’s a very good antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial mist that keeps away all those nasty bacteria! Grapefruit is rich in vitamins and juniper berry helps keep skin clean and clear.

Credit to LUSH

Quick tip : use as often as you’d like! After cleansing and before moisturizing is your best bet, but you can always refresh your skin whenever throughout the day! Spraying this on your pillows to keep them fresh and free from bacteria is one way to use this as well.

5) The Experimenter (Bath Bomb)

For those of you who have a bath tub at home, please try one of their bath bombs or bubble bars! This one in particular smells incredible, and it turns your bath into rainbow colours!

Quick tip : throw it into your bath and watch the magic happens ☺

First of all, let me introduce you what is LUSH.

LUSH consists of cosmetics products, including almost everything - just name it; shower gels, cleansers, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, masks, lip balms, lip scrubs etc. I knew this shop when I started my study in Czech, well actually I knew most famous brands when I live here. Lol.

Points from its website.

The best part of LUSH is the products are organic and handmade! All of them smell so good and you would love to spend time in the shop for hours. One of the best invention of LUSH for me is the bath bombs. You can watch the example in the video I attached below :D

Isn't it cool? :D

How To Kill People With Kindness?

November 14, 2016

I just realised that yesterday was World Kindness Day. This day is celebrated every 13th November. Maybe it is quite late to share a post on this, but again I just realised my juniors and I discussed about Rasulullah's kindnesses as well yesterday. So, why not sharing them with you guys here :)

Selena Gomez's Kill Em With Kindness.

Have you listened to this song? I'm not a fan of Selena Gomez but I do listen to her songs and find out this one to have affection to me.

Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
No war and anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now

I am not sure if I've been in any significant backstabbing events, maybe yes and I don't care much. But, I don't want to describe other people's weakness or sins. I personally have a lot of them.

Do we realised that most of quarrels start with arguments? Arguments are good only if they are done in appropriate ways - no hate words or bad words. I do agree that most arguments that we can find online with those b*, s* words (mostly in Twitter) are though-provoking even though I don't like those words. However, I believe the arguments are better to be conveyed in another way - kindness.

There is a story that is very significant to me.

I think you have listened to this, before. Or maybe I've shared in my blog?

There was a blind Jew beggar who always cursed Rasulullah SAW and said that he is a liar. Even though this old blind man don't even know how Prophet Muhammad looks like, he kept on swearing at him. When Rasulullah received the news, he went to visit the old man and helped feeding him every day.

After the death of Rasulullah, the old man kept wondering why the good man did not come to feed him. Rasulullah's companion (Abu Bakr) went to continue Rasulullah's habit towards that old man when suddenly the man got angry at Abu Bakr. He realised the way Abu Bakar feed him was different than Rasulullah.

"No! Do not lie to me! The man was so nice to hold hands, and the food he gave was very easy to chew, because he softened it to me..."

Abu Bakr started to cry and explain that the man who visit the blind man was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Jew beggar was shocked and said the syahadah. T_T

A good attitude is the one capturing someone's heart.

We don't have to go that far, just imagine ourselves. Do we want other people to say harsh words or bully us mentally, physically?

Nope.

If yes, there's something wrong with you.

So, why are we doing those bad habits to others?

Kindness Boomerang.
The video above is very famous I am sure you've watched it at least once if your life time. Why not, watch it again?

Kindness is not only verbally, but physically as well.

To help the blind crossing the road is kindness.
To hold the door open for stranger is kindness.
To share the food we have with poor people is kindness.
To help taking care of neighbour's house when he is outstation is kindness.
To make donation is also kindness.
To help our parents with the house core is kindness.

And...

To smile is kindness.

Happy Belated World Kindness Day :)

What I Love About On The Way To The Airport [DRAMA]

November 12, 2016

This drama (OTWTTA) ended last Thursday.

On The Way To The Airport

It became viral on social media (at least on my Facebook news feed) one time ago because of Air Asia and the scenes in Malaysia. Honestly I am not that interested to watch because of the drama looks like focusing on this argument:

“Is it possible to have a dignified relationship in the world of MARRIED men and women?” - Soompi

But it is kinda significant to me as I watched an episode of this drama when I was literally on my way to the airport.

You can read more about the synopsis here, in Siqah's post.

1. Airports are my place for emotions.

Well, they can be fun when travelling around or go back to Malaysia for summer holidays. And airports can also be sad with parting and saying goodbyes.

I spend time in the airports at least few times a year. I am not sure if I will have the chances to fly a lot when I start working soon, but honestly airports have the soft spot in my heart. One of the memorable moment about airports was the first time I slept on the cold tiled floor of Madrid Airport. It was the first time I traveled around Europe with at least 10 other friends, we divided ourselves into two groups - taking turns to sleep and guard.

Not to forget my once in a life time experience in Belgrade Airport, Serbia. And hmmm, the embarrassing moment to recall when I cried in Dubai Airport, UAE, just because of lamp bulbs!

Although it looks illogical, I love how the drama shows emptiness of the airport (the one in Korea). It is not easy though to catch views of airports without a single person, I think?

Empty....

2. I am not into the idea of extra-marital relationships itself, but...

This is a mature topic to think about, not simple lovey dovey story of a boy and a girl.

Having an affair is totally not good (actually, it is seriously ill) for the health of someone's marriage. But, after watching few early episodes of the drama, my thought changed. It is different between having an affair and having a friendship with opposite sex.

I can see how hard both leads to control their thought to remain focus in their kinda-broken families with their spouses behaving like that. I just knew the reason why her pilot husband and his psycho wife have their attitude upon reaching to few last episodes of the drama! Haha.

Too late.

Emotion is something that is hard to discuss and deal with. A comment I read on this drama is that, "this is wrong, so wrong, but it feels so right! They are not supposed to be together, but they are clearly meant for each other." Love is hard. :p

This is what make it a unique drama.

3. Get a glimpse of a stewardess's life

I have no friends working as stewardesses, surprisingly I met many backpackers working in aviation anyway. To sit in the same row of emergency exit is totally not my preference (although the space for leg is bigger), but this is where the stewardess sit as well. I've once sitting opposite a stewardess, it was awkward but fun to watch how she did the 'cross-check' - whatever it is called.

In this drama, it is amazing to watch the struggles of a stewardess, for example the main female lead. To witness how hard it is to balance between work and family, it increases my high respect towards working mothers. :)

I love this scene so much, dunno why. It is just about opening the aircraft's door, but I have no experience seeing it in real life. Haha.

4. The beauty of Malaysia with Korean cinematography.

Honestly, I have no idea why Malaysia looks stunning in this drama. It's not like I've never been to Putrajaya before but this drama makes the place looks surprisingly new and just wow.

Masjid Putrajaya

Masjid Besi, I guess?

The river.

5. Discussion on serious matter.

For me myself, assumption kills a relationship.

Same like Suri Hati Mr. Pilot (SHMP), I can say that in every relationship, trust and communication are the most important points to take note. For every confusion, we need to discuss and come out with solution that both parties can agree with.

After reading Siqah's blog post on SHMP, there are many secrets kept by the characters in both dramas. But, I can say I love interactions between people in OTWTTA more than SHMP. Like, how the male lead of the drama fly all the way from Jeju to Seoul to discuss the important issue instead of texting or assuming. In OTWTTA, I can understand why Soo Ah keep things from her husband, but not Warda in SHMP. :p

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

Well, lots of moral values are portrayed in every dramas or movies I guess. Values on friendship, family, work etc. It is just how we look at the changes of people's attitude and then, reflect ourselves. Evaluate ourselves if we have those kind of attitudes we hate watching them on the screen.

It's a happy ending drama after all. :)

I am personally satisfied with the ending, yeay! Do you watch this drama?

6 Reasons Why Road Trips Are Awesome!

November 11, 2016

(removed / edited from hanisnina.com)

Maryam just released her video on our previous trip to Hallstatt, Austria and I must say that it feels very nostalgic to remember all those moments. So, here you go, the wrap of our road trip! :)

I learned a lot of things throughout the trips I've been in so far :) And I would love to encourage you to plan your road trip, soon, maybe as the first one! It will be awesome! InsyaAllah. :D

Here are what I think people can 'expect' or get benefits from road trips. Short distance trip will be good enough for a kick start! yeah.

1. Road Trips Are Economical and Flexible.

People already know that last minute plane tickets will be way too expensive. Yeah, I admit that fact. Road trips will be the most suitable for travelers with sudden plan. Just get your car ready with full fuel, get the engine start - and there you go. :)

With plane, you can get directly to your destination without the need to think of which route to go (unless you need to transit somewhere). But, on road trips, you can plan any routes and stop at any places that you think are amazing to enjoy.

Maybe, take a break at the side of the road to enjoy the sunset?

2. Precious Moments with Travel Mates

Why Road Trips Are Awesome?

Well, we can expect more opportunity to spend time with the buddies traveling with us in the road trip. Just imagine, we stay in the car for at least few hours and again, another few hours - so, who wants to keep silent with each other without conversation.

It will be nice to share stories, create inside jokes, sing many songs, keep making fun so that drivers will not be sleepy.

I heard somewhere that one of the ways to get to know each other is by travelling together.

3. Patience Can Be Developed.

Sometime, you can feel like driving is an infinity thing to do in the road trips. You keep asking when are you going to reach your destination. Moving for only few kilometer will be felt like hours.

Many unexpected incidents may happen, like experiencing flat tire, getting problems in border between countries, losing card to pay the road tolls. I've been in those situations, and thanks to all of us for keeping each other calm to face everything :)

4. Adrenaline Rush of Driving Skills.

I never imagined myself driving in a busy, unfamiliar city center like Istanbul, Rome etc with those impatient taxi drivers who keep honking at other drivers.

I still can't believe I managed to reverse the car on a hilly, narrow road. I am still amazed of how people can survive driving on roads after snow storm, surely with non-shoveled snow or on slippery roads with snow.

That are adventures to me :)

And that also keep me driving carefully.

5. Learn Map-Reading Skills.

This point applies to people like me - a girl who can not read maps, generally said by people. Well, I must be honest to say that from my opinion, I agree that boys read maps better. But, it doesn't mean girls always get lost in where ever we go.

Other than that, you will know some unknown places at certain countries. For example, in case of without GPS, you can get to the border of countries by driving towards the nearest town to the border in which the direction is shown on signboards.

6. You Can Pack As Much As You Want.

If you love reading, you can brings books instead of digital book. If you love to take pictures with different coats, you can bring more coats. You can bring more snacks too :)

But, it does not mean you can fill the car with unused stuffs. Well, the lighter the car, the better it is (especially for fuel), I guess.

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

Road trips can be tiring, really. Driving in the middle of night with flash of light from opposite cars can be eyes-torturing. Sleep in the car with not good posture may cause pain.

But believe me, once you've been on road trips, you will look forward for more. :)

p/s - Anyway, feel free to add more points if you want to share your own experiences. I would definitely love to read yours. :)
