2nd Semester

I haven't been telling you guys stories & tidbits for a long period and I guess today is the day (lol I didn't plan this, I just happen to update haha =p) 

I'm writing this on the very last day I could savor my semester break because heck, tomorrow I'm going back to my college and embarking my 2nd semester on Monday with a new passion on this journey (may Allah put the passion in our heart amin) & I think my Monday is goood to go cause it isn't that packed as before. alhamdulillah. may there be no Monday blues. <33

Gotta go,
til we meet again, xoxo.

Exam week went awry

You know when illness is inevitable & it striked me on the last day of my study week and it continued until the whole exam week finished, I was the most ungrateful one. Or to be exact, I forgot how to.

My frst day of exam was pretty awful, I made noise a lot with my coughs in the exam hall til I need the toilet to vomit the phlegm gugh, and that was so annoying to me, I scared if it annoyed the others in the room as well, I mean...I made the noise during the WHOLE exam week but the good thing was it got better day by days. (I think you guys do feel the same every time we happen to make noise during exam? or no? haha) & I was having a quite bad fever though I have already consumed some pills the night before so I didn't get to think and perform well on my maths paper 2 & everytime I remember the struggles during my exam week, I just get sad honestly. And ugh, tbh I've a secret to tell, I cried during that paper on the last minute bcs meh, I didn't get to think well and the questions was quite hard. Ok don't tell this to anybody. Let it only be here, within us. Mehh =p

When something in ur life has started awry then it's gonna impact your mood for the days after that like yeah that just happened to me but I kinda managed to distract myself from the overthinking and stuffs for a while. I've got no idea on what to anticipate for the next papers, I just acted normal and tried the best.

I know I have to put my trust on the Writer of my life after all; tawakkal.

May Allah grant Sya, the writer of this blog an excellent result on her previous and upcoming exams and a blessed heart. amin. may the good be with you too, kind-hearted people out there! :)

Saved from a tragic break-in

What else do I have to not be grateful for?

Here's a story which occured in my college just a few months back! I usually stayed up night to finish all assignments and probably do my studies a lil bit but it was that night that coincidentally I felt really sleepy and since I've finished my tasks earlier, I just decided to doze-off a little earlier. It was also that night where my fellow roommates told to better not to turn the light off, not sure why, cause usually, I will ask them to turn off lights! Cause..tbh, I hate sleeping with lights on >.<

At 3-4am, the door was suddenly opened, and there was the Felo or our lecturer, she was in completely rushing and had that "frightened look". She then woke us up by her voice and asked if there was any belongings went missing. We checked the purse and look for our smartphone, they are all save with us. We narrowed back to her. Curious of what was happening.

"Your block had just been broken into at 2am just now! How could you guys slept without locking the door?!" We were scolded and said nothing until the lecturer left and asked to lock the door from now on.

YOU KNOW WHAT WAS ON OUR MIND? The thief might be hiding somewhere (probably) in our locker. Arghh. That was so frightening!! Oh anyway, yes, we just made that up because OUR ROOM HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL TO BE BROKEN INTO compared to the others. Because ours is oriented facing the middle stairs and we forgot to lock the door! Where...ok I'll have to admit, we usually did not do that because we think..who the heck will steal our belongings? All the people here are really busy with their bussiness. Who have time for stealing anyways? Gugh. I totally dumped out the outsiders into the issue at the moment. OUTSIDER.

We checked on our block whatsapp group, afraid if some still missing this breaking news. Turned out, we were the one who missed it. They already had been talking and warning at 2am. We were told that someone saw a guy with his face covered just broken into some rooms and no one was dare enough to scream. Because, imagine, if you, staying up alone, saw it on your own, all alone, screaming while looking at him would be taken into consideration first, am I right?

Who doesn't panic ya know? We all do. And just right after that, we were told just to scream/shout and everything we could do everytime this serious sort of moment occur! May we all have that courage to do so anyway. Amin!

My roommates and I got even more panic just by knowing the room oriented left and right of ours were broken into and some lost their belongings! More tragic, the thief took out the money from one's purse then throwed the purse into a dustbin. Haih, so no compassionate!

Alhamdullillah. What excuses do we have for not being grateful? Thank, Allah saved us! Alhamdullillah. =)

Oh anyway, we think that the thief might not entered our room because our lights were turned on! Or probably because...we usually listen to Quran recitation before sleep. Whatever reason might sound logic to you, I believe it's all happened with Allah's will.

THANK GOD, WE ARE SAVED.

Here's to share with yall the burglary prevention. Got it from pinterest. Please share it with your loved one as well. Things could happen in a blink of an eye, anywhere and anytime without you could predict it. Be safe, loves!

Til next time ok! <3

Managing time in college is a whole new challenge

Here's a bit of me which you should know 😂 I am now an-eighteen-year-old pursuing my studies in science in a local college or to be more specific, it's a matriculation college somewhere in peninsular of Malaysia. I decided to drop Biology ever since I found myself have no longer had chemistry with it and alhamdulillah, thank God that that was never has been a remorseful to choose this path. Despite of another struggle I have to cope with which is Science Computer but at least I am keen into it. The point is, no matter what field or courses you're in, every path owns their own struggles. Nothing worth having is easily obtained.

Wallahi, I am struggling right now and I can see that the vast majority in here, we're all in the same boat. We're all struggling. Especially with time management.

I, myself, have had several attempts and errors to discover the best way to allocate my time perfectly and I guess..I'm still trying man!

I'd love to share a lil bit of what I've just discovered recently related to my time management. *Please read at your own risk. Thank you. (:

Peak time - Basically, peak time is when we can give the best perfomance out of us to do our tasks. And I just found out that my peak time is during the night and in the morning as well. I really think that I am in between of night owl and early bird. Seriously, I haven't heard about this before but I really think that's what I just (probably) am. (High probability).

I've some events to share with you that tell I'm that person in between of night owl and early bird.
I usually have to stay up late to do my tasks and to ensure my morning productivity. Or to be more details, I sleep after 12am (I usually limit myself only until 2/2.30am) and my biology clock (did I just say biology??)  usually will wake me up at 5 or 6 in the morning (or 7am on the weekend) and my day is going to be good (without considering other factors). BUT, if I ever sleep before 12am, the next morning is going to be hard for me and then I'll spend the whole next day sleepy during classes.
So that's what I discovered regarding my peak time.

Distractions - I may avoid smartphone, avoid bed from my sight but how about uplanned events? Like sudden commitments that I have never included into my planner. But as for me, smartphone and bed are the main factors of me getting distracted because well, I've to admit that I am easily distracted. Poor me...

However, I'm glad to say that sometimes I am able to distract myself from those distractions. Well played, psychology. Ok, I wish that I can do this at most of the time..well..still trying..heee! As for my attempts to get through them, I tried hiding my phone from my sight whenever it's time to focus on other things so it's whether I seal it in my case or put it in the drawer or just leave it in the bag and I tried as much as possible to not get attached to my bed (I tried not to get myself sitting or even touching the bed) because brutally honest, bed is so freaking hard to resist!! Do you feel me? =p

Willpower - There are times where I get demotivated and I feel like doing nothing at all (and sometimes I really end up with doing nothing hahahaha). In my opinion regarding this matter, if I have strong desire towards my dreams (especially long-term goals) then I should spend some time to have the willpower to achieve it but usually, it doesn't work that way for me.

So another way I could do is just begin doing the tasks despite of idleness, sickness or homesickness, or demotivated, and that's when I can start to remain the momentum. This works better for me and I really hope that I could remain the momentum till forever.


Helper tool - For instance, I need some caffeine to get wide awake in the night (not to forget to limit the consumption), need alarm app to help me wake up (although sometimes I am alarm-less or can I just say I am KALIS ALARM sebab suka tidur mampus haha) and sometimes need a music playlist to focus and a planner to plan my day. Let's be honest, it's not a planner, I just have a somewhat called as bullet journal which is more like to-do-list. Do you have any common things as well regarding this?

Appropriate spot - Sometimes I prefer to study in the room on my study table but since bed is so hard to resist for me, so I prefer studying at cafe as well and sometimes whenever I need peaceful environement, I'd need library at that moment (but sometimes people are so loud even in library, that's very sad to say, even pathetic to cope with). I'm so unpredicted like today I feel like studying at the cafe then tomorrow I'll go for library then the next day I'd rather stay in the room. That's me. How about your spot? :)

If you're a master of time management or if you're still having attempts and errors as well as me, do drop your comments, suggestions or you may share your experience as well so that we could exchange something, right? <3

May we all grow through such experiences and challenges in life so that we become wiser and learn from our own mistakes for others' awareness as well and may we remain our momentum to bring, produce and cultivate goodness in life. 

Till we meet again. xoxo.

Life After SPM: Social skill & I doubled my career

How to feel the time? WRITE.

At least that is the ultimate measure that keeps memories alive other than PICTURES. And, that's what I'm doing! Hoping that someday I'll look back and see how much I've done.

It's already May 2017 and that means, I've been working here for about 1 month and a half and it's gotta be 2 months and a half once it's June (Awhh it's gonna be June soon - it's my month!! haha). By the way, if you haven't read my update regarding my first job, how I managed to get it and all, do click here.

Truth to be told, my first impression when I came here was that I'll never be able to get along with anyone here. Gotta admit that I was kinda lack of social skills and everything (I was just sociable behind every icon I hold on socmed) - the main reason why I didn't believe how did I get here but this is getting MORE EXTREMELY EXCITING. Because of the fact now: I successfully did it. Yes, I got along with the vast majority. What a record, aite? 😜

I acknowledge almost everyone's name and I learnt that knowing someone's name is just so vital. Once you know their name, you'll get to engage psychologically. And this game is totally gonna be fun if you're creative enough. So tip number #1: Get to know their name!

Recently, I've just received a gift from this guy - a student here. Because he just came back from Singapore and I seriously still wondering if he purposely bought that for me or other thing BUT THE THING NOW IS we rarely talk to each other. Our conversations are countable because they were just three til now. Wth I counted it 😅 The first was when him and his friend joking about something with me. The second was, I asked him why didn't he come to eat the other day, by calling his name - so perhaps calling his name just played a vital role there, Idk. And the third was when he told me he was fasting so that I can keep some portion of food for him (this one was after he gave me the gift). So, which one of these three is the reason that made him giving me a gift from Singapore??? If including a poll would do here, I'd do just to figure this out. :')

Well, from what I've written, it obviously depicts me as someone who retains all the details. So beware of that. 😉😂 If only I could do the same for reading all the textbooks haizz.

Surprisingly, there's another boy who offered me a gift if I'd tell how much As did I get in SPM. (he's still a boy, he's just 14 =p) Alas, I still didn't tell him and not sure if I'm going to but I love gettin' presents hahaha kk.

Most of them acknowledge that I'm going to quit soon cause yeah, I'm going to pursue my studies so there was this guy telling me that he afraid if he's gonna miss me. Wahahah didn't expect that but obviously, I'm gonna miss all their ridiculous jokes and all those noises that filled up the vacancy as well. Too, their everyday greetings towards me and all 😭 Probably there's just a love connection between me and these kids which I successfully sent that vibe hahahha (with Allah's will of course). I love calling them kids anyway.

In my previous post, I did write regarding the suggestion of teaching English to some kids here. So recently this happened and I did teach a few of girls here the English and some others asked me regarding modern maths which I will help just as long as I remember how to 😂 (luckily it was never addmaths GOSH) Insyaallah, pray for me that I can do the best in helping them out! Amin!

That's how I became a temporary-not-so-teacher yet a kitchen helper at the same time.

Sometimes, we did girl talks as well which I really enjoyed it most of the time. It's fun to hang around them because we just never been out of an idea to talk about. Usually, it has been me who got us to new topic all over again 😝 I swear I was looking like a super introvert during my first few weeks and I did never talk to anyone here unless like nodding, my "hm", just that. But once it felt like home, I never want to end it. I could talk to you endlessly you know or at least staring at each other for a long period and it'll never get boring I swear. 💁

There. There goes my story of the week. Will update again to reminisce soon and do relish every moment in your life.

I learnt that each and everyone that we met is just so pertinent to make us who we are today, same goes to you, you're important, you're part of this life, if you ain't here, things wouldn't be the same so cherish yourself. Cheers! 🙈🙉🙊

Life After SPM: Gettin' my first job ever!

Hi! It has been quite long since I kept my blog updated and if you're wondering why, there goes the reason, right on the title of this post. Yup, I'm a busy bee lately! =p

I remember the excitement of getting through my high school years when it finally came to the last paper of SPM on that day and all I was thinking was to get myself hectic as much as I can so that I won't be wasting my break before enrolling into university.

So right after a few weeks, I began to get myself a job placement somewhere for a while to earn some new experiences, to gain some new piece of knowledge and probably to aggrandize my circle. I did go and ask if there was any job vacancies for a spm leaver at a few stores encompassing this one where I tried my luck thrice including calling the office from home just to assure that I'd probably get a place there. Pathetic was them answering me with a "NO" for everytime I asked. 💔💢 So, I just began to lose interest in locating for job placement and planned just to be at home probably polishing my photoshop skills or enhancing my vocabularies, etc etc. 💦💪

Also knowing that I may not be lucky enough to get myself some salaries to earn on my own. =)

Until there was this sunny day where my mom got a call from one of her friends, telling her that they were in urge to get someone to work with them. I eavesdropped their conversation and without any hesitation, I volunteered like "I can work...if you don't mind.."

Then, everything has begun on the very next day. I admit that it was kinda like a new, fresh thing for me to suddenly get myself easy with the new environment and all. And ooops, you have to know that it is not even a fancy job where you wear uniform and all. A big NO. 💁 I work as a kitchen helper at a school's hostel. Oh yes, school environment!! I love that part!! =p Wait, it's not that I cook. Well, working in kitchen doesn't mean I cook. My scope of job is quite similar to what a housewife usually does in the kitchen & in the dining room encompassing sweeping off the floor and all you could imagine. Too, everyday similar to what barista is cause I've to prepare the drinks for the kiddos there! (Takde complain air tak sedap lagi setakat ni =p)

The students and other workers here are all good and nice to me. I kinda love to have them around! Alhamdulillah!!!

Frankly speaking, there's just a lot to tell about every person I met but a post probably wouldn't be enough for that but all in all, all these persons I met here, they're just very nice even though my first impression towards them was a lil bit went awry.

My point is: No matter how bad a person might look like, s/he has something good you might be surprised for. Perhaps the people you anticipated to be the good one would turn out giving you some lessons to learn while perhaps the people you anticipated to be the bad one would in return give you the best sweetest memory you would never expect. 💗😌

In my job scope, I work with a chef, and by far, I've worked with 3 chefs including this new one. Every each of them at least taught me a thing differently. It is so beautiful how Allah has planned it for me that I did never expect to learn those things that never cross my mind, including to mix some drink flavours altogether and get a new great one, and more!

The first chef was a woman who I did never expect to be a mom of a daughter who perchance suffer a cancer. The second one, a man who is full of wisdom which I definitely adore. He's a wealthy man ranging from knowledge, faith, skill, passion, to prosperity. He told me a story in which he gave a bmw 👀👏 to his son who did well in uni life, some tips about the proper way of salah and to get yourself more in prosperity is to give more to people. Also that he cooked very nice and well, we, the kids, love him so much. (I'm still a kid yo!!) And this new chef which the third one is a man who married for two (me as a girl, quite stand against this 😀😂 but whatever - it's his life) and he smoke. I just dislike that smoke part very much but hm, at least he did never smoke around me. Alhamdulillah, syukur, tak pernah lagi sedut asap rokok dia. Tak nak please!! 😱

So yeah that's that.

And oh, my mom proposed me to teach a few students here the basic of english and stuffs and I just agreed but we still didn't get any confirmation with those students yet. Let's just see how this gonna be! I'm excited, of course but the students maybe the otherwise, 😂😂 we don't know but let's just be positive bout it anyhow. I've been told that these students are those who are quite lack in language but perform well in numbers. Well, guys. I know these people and I'd just love to try my best to help. =p

I pen it off here. Let's hope that more good things are coming in their way and may I could cope with just anything here and hopefully all the people here including the students would love my presence in their daily life as well as how I love their presence in mine. Amin! =) 💖

Toddles!!!

p/s: Share your story, somebody might need to read. <3

Tricky Cut Out Tutorial!

Guys!! finally I made it!

Wait.

What?

You know I've really been longing to update this tutorial which associated to my previous cut out editing. To be honest, the original editing I was using was a complete more complicated than what I've jumped into today like yayyy I made it kut!! Hehe, gimme chance to at least cheer for myself please. Ah anyway, this is a combination of steps which I just discovered, like they exist in some other's tutorials but their ways are seperated though. So yeah basically, I'm just re-producing it in my own version and I hope it will help! <33

You can see the flaws there but you may touch up a bit and render it look like...i dunno, use your creativity juices. =p

OK IM SO HAPPY HAHAHA BYE!

p/s: May I fangirl over Vivy's husband that I find him cute sometimes? #no #donttellvivy

Sweet stroke editing

I call this one as sweet stroke editing simply because it fits pastel type of design and to me, pastel is sweet little thing just as how you are! Please be sure to alert to take it or leave it. I mean, if you think that you're already master these photoshop little things, so you may leave it. But if you love to exchange the way we do it, then yeah.

Look at the border radius of that one that has the price RM100 on it and compare that to the rest.



What do you get to see? Hm?

To me, sometimes I love to see a more-detailed one like the rest for the border-radius (I mean they're a bit more-detailed :p) but both are nice! :)

Here's a tutorial for the so-called-more-detailed-one just in case if you need it! :)

And oh oh, if you're curious to dig more about all the skincare products being featured here, you can stalk instashop: @beaute.babe :)

I'm leaving it all here and till we meet again! xo

p/s: I'm sorry for not updating for almost a month, it's due to my hard disk problem but we may keep in touch anyway, find me on twitter: @syasandeul.

p/s (ii): I'm thinking of updating my polygonal portrait editing but I honestly have no right upon the girls' pic I was taking so I do hesitate hahahaha :')) (but you know when you have a crush towards this celebrity/anyone, you just save their photos or even turn their photos into wallpaper? yeah that's why i did.)

Skincare that will render you fall in love, because I've fallen for it

You must be one of those sophisticated girls, loaded with just so many skin care awareness and pieces of knowledge. I ain't going to share skincare tips or anything but this will be regarding a skincare brand that will surely render you fall in love because I've fallen for it. It really did the job on my skin! 💕

If you know me personally since the past few years, you know how sensitive and worse my skin was. With kinda dark skin tone (it's not dark actually it's like kelabu asap you know), pimples here and there, hella redness till I ever got a very sarcastic question, "Sya, pakai blusher eh?" You think you funny hm making fun of people? 😒

And there were some makciks telling me my face was getting worse and whatnots until I saw her daughter was having the same skin problem with me, there you go, what you give you gotta get back. But no, I didn't hold any grudges towards her and her family, it's not worth it anyway.  Plus, her daughter that I mentioned is a nice girl. :) It's just that, I think it's normal for people who have this "breakouts" problems to feel sensitive over this topic.

Alhamdulillah, I've recovered from my allergy back then, I was just wearing what the Doctor told me to and after recovering, I started using this one skin care to get rid all my pimples and all those skin problems I have.

It takes some time to clear the whole face actually cause it's a nature-based product and organic. The neem extracts in it are imported from Swissland helps a lot in controlling excess oil and getting rid of acnes.

Alhamdulillah, my acnes slowly disappear and never seem want to make the appearance ever again. Those pimples are now like in fear and some just appear due to hormonal problems and some because of me, breaking the rules, eat everything without limit knowing that I've allergy. Hehe. But then, I still manage to get rid of them. Too, I no longer have redness without a cause on cheeks anymore yay! I'm completely happppyy 💋

I ain't saying my face is turning out to be Che Ta after wearing it, but it does what it should, I love pampering my face all nights with this one and only Acne Buster Serum. But to be honest, for someone who always went broke like me (because too much spending on literally everything I like, this is what happened), it's quite pricey, but it's for your skin, though, to help you shine with more confidence in the next time! :)

I saw some people wrote things like, "I don't trust local products anymore" and so did I saw "but this product line from hanaskincaremy is trustable" and yes, how would I don't agree when I am the one who still using it. Currently, I'm using my second bottle and definitely going to repeat order! Yay!

Extra fact:

They have agents from Brunei and Singapore too, so Brunei, SG, and Indonesian people are using it without hesitation, so why should you?

So where can you find this and read more details bout it? Testimonies? They're so many of them!

Go to @obviousorganic on Instagram cause I'm an official dropship dealer now. 

I did never expect me to sell it though but since I need to earn some rezekis, so I started this in early 2017. Plus, I'm wearing it and I believe it doesn't have any harmful ingredients so why not?

There's nothing wrong to buy from me since you'll be helping three persons at once! Me, the agent and the HQ. So buy from me to help three persons hahaha :)

Cropping out in details & put in another background - Succeed or Fail?

Peace be upon you!

Hey, I guess this time you shouldn't skip the intro ☺

As I promised in my previous post that I'd love to share my improvement in editing though I did hesitate to do this since I feel like....I'm just not skilled enough and everything, so there was a bit insecurity for real and I hope you guys are taking this positively! :)

Anyway, if you're wondering why some of the pics seem to be like ads, it is just because now I'm involving in part-time online business to earn some rezeki. And fyi, I'm selling a certified organic -- healthy skincare product based in Malaysia which I myself have been using it for years because it works really wonder on my skin (extra thing i love bout the products is because there's no side effects at all, I've stopped the usage in the middle of time for a while (no i think i stopped for kinda a long time) cause I was getting busy and didn't really focus on myself, self-love, etc). The ingredients used are super healthy too! :)

Since I haven't found any appropriate term to describe exactly what my editing refers to so let's just call them as "cropping out in details & put in another background" thingy & I hope it suits the result lolol.

If you do not know yet, the girl in this editing is the owner of the skincare I'm currently using! Her babyface will render you looking at her twice or even more than that. Am I riteeee? =p

Does my "cropping out" did well there guys? Oh btw, yeah all the products I've been mentioning before are all nature-based & this one encompasses neem extracts. You know neem extracts have been practised in daily life of many girls from India. No doubt they could mantain their beautiful skin!

If you're an editor/anything-related, please know that I'm open to any comments or criticizes because I'm looking forward to improve yet more! 

In my next post, insyaallah I'll be sharing with you guys a more details bout the skincare products because I've fallen in love with it <333 And I'm sure I'm not the only one, I can prove to you that there are many other girls outside there are in love with this brand too! ;)


p/s: Do you think I am able to edit a photo of me next to Heo Joon Jae already yet? If yes, I think my editing in this post would be a succeed one haha. #teamlegendofthebluesea #teamheojoonjae #icantmoveon

Am I really The Mediator? -- Personality Test

Peace be upon you. Before anything else, who else in the world shares this "mediator" personality, gimme high 5! I'm so gonna know you deeper, I love like-minded people haha <3

Psssst, too, we're sharing the same personality with William Shakespeare. Nothing really to be proud of actually -- i dont even know him well.

*The graphic design omg so flawless <3*

Frankly speaking, I've done this test for about few times before and guess those were just incorrect because I think I was so hypocrite answering those voraciously wanting to be what I wanted, yet not what I was. Bhahaha how true that I think I am too idealist..

Yet this time, I read those what they describe me for me with sparkle eyes for how true they are & how hard for me all this while to sum up myself in just 2 words -- the mediator lol.

However, let those descriptions remain as what they are and me as still me. I dont wanna take things like these so serious.

And if you're interested in knowing which 2 words describe you well, go test yourself at https://www.16personalities.com now!

In the next entry, I'm looking forward to update a lil bit bout my improvement towards my editing. I emphasize, A LIL BIT, I'm not really satisfied to have a lil bit! *still voracious in my editing skill*

That's all for now & I hope you're having a good day! Till then! :)
