Four Things

Personal Sunday, November 12, 2017
1. I'm currently writing this because I'm doing anything I can to avoid studying for my last paper on Tuesday. I'm pretty nervous for this paper because I don't think I'm prepared for it. 2. I saw Khalid live 3 days ago. It was incredible! I first heard of him back in February. I heard the song Location in a YouTube video and...

Managing My Spending in Melbourne

Life Abroad Tuesday, September 19, 2017
I've been wanting to do a post like this for awhile now. I've been living in Melbourne for over a year. So I guess I have enough 'experience' to share with you guys. Hope this helps! So the 1st of every month, I pay my rent. I always prioritize my rent. Then I list down my other expenses (i.e. water/electricity bills, public transport...

Tips For Turning Your House Into A Home

Inspiration Friday, August 11, 2017
Source: Pinterest 1. Find Your Aesthetic. Personally, I LOVE monochromatic spaces with pops of colours. I like my space to be as bright as possible, which is why I love having white walls. I also love the look of industrial- and Scandinavian-themed spaces. It looks so chic, timeless and elegant. If you don't know what you're into, I'd suggest you go on Pinterest! I can...

A Letter To My Freshman Self

Personal Sunday, July 30, 2017
1. Believe in Yourself. Stay True To Yourself As a cliche as this sounds, you have to believe in yourself. Sometimes, you are your own worst enemy. There's always going to be that little voice in your head telling you that you can't do it or that you're going to look silly in front of everyone. It's okay to be nervous for that...

One Year in Melbourne

Life Abroad Tuesday, July 25, 2017
25th July 2017 – I have been in Melbourne for a year... That is if you don't count the 3 months I was back home for summer. Still... I arrived in Melbourne on this date last year. An entire year has gone by. I got here on the first day of uni! Imagine going straight to uni the second you hop off your...

My Dream Dressing Room

Inspiration Monday, July 24, 2017
Has anyone else dreamed about designing and decorating your own space? Because I have been dreaming about having the most stunning dressing room for as long as I could remember! Since I was a little girl, I have always imagined my dressing room – especially my wardrobe – to look like the one Big built for Carrie. Imagine having that much space to...

My First Eid Abroad

Life Abroad Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Hello!! Selamat Hari Raya to those celebrating! We are in week 2 of the month of Eid. Crazy how time flies. My family came to visit a couple weeks ago for Eid. This was our first Eid away from home. I have to say, I do miss celebrating it back home with my friends & family. I miss the food, the open houses...

Drab Dad to Dapper Dad

Fashion Thursday, June 15, 2017
That right there is my Dad. This picture is one of my favourites of him because it shows that he doesn't let his broken foot stop him from having fun. He would always look for the silver lining in everything. Growing up, he would constantly remind me to always be grateful and humble, and be nice to everyone no matter how they treated...

Peer Pressure

Personal Tuesday, June 13, 2017
I have been feeling a little down lately. Being away from home and being exposed to a different way of life can be so overwhelming. One thing that bothers me is having to deal with peer pressure. I grew up in somewhat of a conservative environment. I don't ever go out partying or clubbing. It's just not something I'm into. Despite that, I'd...

Two Down!!

Life Abroad Monday, May 29, 2017
Hi!! My second semester here just ended. I handed in my last assignment just yesterday, which I managed to finish 10 minutes before the deadline hahaha. It was a 1200-word essay that I started on Saturday and it was due 5pm yesterday. I have never started on an assignment that last minute guys. I'm pretty sure what I wrote was garbage but I'm...

What I Eat in a Day #2

Food Wednesday, May 03, 2017
Breakfast: I was craving for pancakes but I knew I wanted to go for something oat-based because oats fill me up so much. Ya know how I always eat oatmeal every morning? Yeah, it's usually because it fills me up til lunch time. I can't do 2 slices of toast for breakfast. I'll just get hungry within the next hour. So I browsed...

Day to Night Outfit Ideas!

Fashion Sunday, April 30, 2017
Day to night dressing can be pretty stressful when you just don't have the time to change your entire look. Personally, I think the key to this is to opt for a classic yet versatile outfit and just swap out the accessories - jewelry, bags and the like. I came up with 4 looks with only 2 outfits that could hopefully inspire you!...

Photo Diary: Burgers, Campus & Comedy Night

Life Abroad Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Thought I'd do a mini photo diary today since I haven't done one in ages! Been eyeing Royal Stacks since it first popped up on my Instagram explore page awhile ago. The only Halal outlet was at Brunswick, which is a pretty long way from where I live. I can't remember the burger I ordered but it was so small! I wanted to...
