Hello!

I'm back with survey questions. This time around, it is something that has always been dear to my heart. Book! And I'm thinking to limit to only 10 questions per post. So here we go!
  1. The first book that makes you started reading book series? - Twilight Saga 😂 They were good okay. Everyone's teenage crush haha
  2. The best reading experience you have ever had? - Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella, I remembered reading that book during my trip in Australia when I was 17. I read it everywhere, even inside the moving car, which I normally will not do.
  3. Which book has affected or influenced you the most so far? - The Secret Series by Rhonda Byrne.
  4. What do you use as a bookmark? - Literally everything. From photobooth pictures to random card or receipt to proper bookmarks. 
  5. When do you usually read? - I don't have a specific time, whenever I have free time I will try to read. I need to make it a habit and decided the best time to read, but haven't find one yet.
  6. Do you remember the first book that you read? - Not really, but when I was in primary school, I loved to read Siri 3 Penyiasat and Siri Lima Penyiasat. 
  7. Which do you prefer - paperback, hardcover or e-book? Hardcover.
  8. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffeemarks or food crumbs and etc. - Depends on what kind of book. Usually not. But I used to highlight Hlovate's books because they have a lot of good quotes!
  9. Do you ever browse through to the last pages in order find out the ending? - No. I don't like spoiler. But I constantly browse through the last pages to check how many pages left.
  10. Do you sell/give away your books or do you keep them, even though you don't like one of them? - I had give away some before. But mostly I keep, because I'm a hoarder 😂 Maybe I might sell or give away some after doing Marie Kondo soon. 

See ya!

Ramadan Goals 🌠

06 May 2019

No comments
Salam.

Alhamdulillah we have made it to another Ramadan! 💞

To be honest, I don't have specific goals that I want to achieved by the end of the month. I don't want to stress myself out by having unrealistic goals like all the previous Ramadan. Instead, I want to consistently making a progress on my good habits and get rid of my bad habits. I want to be more mindful of my surrounding and hopefully kinder to people around me and myself.

Habits that I've been doing for awhile / want to do even after Ramadan has passed:

  • Smile more.
  • Reading Quran everyday.
  • Memorizing Juzk 30.
  • Tadabbur.
  • Learn about Rasulullah.
  • Terawih at Masjid.
  • Reading books.
  • Eat with the mindful portion.
  • Solat Dhuha & other solat sunat.
  • Listen or read al-mathurat.
  • Listen to podcast.
  • Consistently writing my blog.
  • Consistently journal.
  • Social media detox.
  • Wake up early.
  • Did not sleep after subuh.
  • Donate money or things.
  • Organize my space.

Have a blessing Ramadan everyone! Lets embrace it before it's gone. May we become a better version of ourself.

Love and light,
AS

KonMari Part 1 | Monthly Challenge

01 May 2019

No comments
Salam and hye guys!

I'm back and ready to roll (my sleeves) for this month challenge! It's been awhile since I really wanted to declutter and reorganize my space. So I guess this is finally it! Super excited! Who else got excited to declutter and organize their stuffs? I'm sure I'm not the only one 😂 Btw, I just bought the The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo and I'm doing this project while reading it.

I've already started the process which I recorded it in my twitter. Let me just recap a little bit.

Marie Kondo day 1. Starting to regret my life decision... Send help. Why am I doing this to myself?



2nd day, trying to discard which one sparks joy. But everything sparks joy to me how? 

Day 3, this is getting depressing... 

Day 4 guys, letting go is hard... 💔 

 I would like to believe that I am 35% done with my clothes 🎉 

Day 5, everything deserve a second chance, including my clothes.

The beginning of the process was very hard. I get overwhelmed with the amount of clothes I actually accumulated over the years. I am a hoarder, so I kinda kept some of the clothes that I have since I was a kid. To be honest, I decluttered some of my clothes during last Ramadan too. It's hard for me to let everything go at the same time, so I think I might have to follow my own phase. Don't judge. I know that I was supposed to get rid everything that doesn't spark joy anymore. But some clothes are in between spark joy and no longer spark joy, and the condition of the clothes are still good!

I'm selling some of my clothes at Carousell and I'll donate the rest to any charity organization that might benefits from it. Still looking for one.

Anyway, Marie Kondo says that you should sort your belongings into five categories. These help you to sort through your possessions and start discarding things that you don’t need. Having the different categories helps to make your decluttering task a bit less overwhelming.

The five categories are: 

  1. Clothing 
  2. Books 
  3. Paper 
  4. Misc 
  5. Mementos 

So, I'm just going to focus on the first category which is clothing.

Subcategories for clothing: 

  1. Tops
  2. Bottoms
  3. Clothes that should be hung
  4. Socks/tights 
  5. Underwear 
  6. Bags 
  7. Accessories 
  8. Special event clothing (e.g., swimwear, uniforms) 
  9. Shoes 
  10. Extra for me : Scarves/ Hijab/ Tudung

I'm gonna update my progress from time to time. This will not by one month challenge, maybe 3 months. I hope I will not exceed 3 months! Praying that I can finish everything as soon as possible. Wish me luck!

To organize and clean space,
