Motivating Yourself When Life or Studying Feels Difficult

Image
REPOST from 4 NOVEMBER 2016 Dear all,  I am writing this especially for SPM students who are having SPM this Wednesday. But I didn't want to put SPM tips for my blog title because this motivation is for everybody, regardless whether you are sitting for an exam next week or not. First, I want you to think back at the time life felt challenging. Think of what you did, how you dealt with it. Next think of your wonderful achievements. Helping someone in need is also considered a big achievement in my opinion. Finally, think of somebody else's life challenges. Something much worse than yours, a tragic death, war, illness and natural disasters. Your mind will automatically tell you that your problem seems trivial. In the case you are experiencing one of the worse, please bear in mind that God will not test you with something you cannot cope. Before I go further, let me tell you a story about myself.  This weekend was one of the most challenging for me. I am sick and I have a lot

SPM Tips: Don't Let a Hard Paper Demotivate You

Image
REPOST FROM 7 November 2013 Dear SPM students, I'm very glad to hear your response because I would have no idea that BM paper was hard if you guys (Lyana)  didn't tell me. First thing I want to say is that if I was in your position, I would be VERY thankful to get a difficult paper. yes, in exam halls you feel that you want to answer ALL questions accurately. When something makes you feel stuck, you have doubts and start to worry. My advice is that: Please just continue answering how your teacher, tuition centre, penceramah, anyone who has taught you. Just follow and continue answering the question no matter how hard it is. DONT STOP or WORRY. Be confident. Say in your mind " I have studied so I can definitely answer (insyaAllah) because if someone who studies can't answer, then how about the rest of the candidates?" Of course they can't make everybody fail. Certain people must get an A, and did you know if the average highest mark is 40% in the entire cou

Motivation of the Week- Being Kind to Yourself

Dear all, Greetings from London. Today marks exactly 4 weeks since I returned and I am so thankful for all the things I have done and accomplished within these 28 days. Alhamdulillah I know SPM is around the corner and thought of dropping a few motivation words for all of you. This is applicable to anyone who is approaching exam season or generally anything that challenges you at this point in time. Once again, motivation if not a one-off thing, you need it constantly for your soul just how you need food. If you are always problem-free with no motivation needed at all, then there may be an issue and worth looking into. Yes, it could be that point in life when all is going well and you are on cloud nine (weeeeee) and that is perfectly fine. What is also ok is if suddenly things change and things do not go as planned or if you have to deal with something that you dislike. I mean nobody likes to be in that sort of situation. Its frustrating, disappointing, upsetting and all th

Simple Beauty Tips at Home

THIS IS A REPOST, ORIGINAL BLOG POST WRITTEN ON JAN 1, 2012 Ever seen a couple where the female is super duper gorgeous and the guy is yeah...(no comment) ok-la. 'She' dressed up just to impress him  but 'he' is pretty chilled.  Did you know for animals its the opposite?? The males are much more pretty and colorful  than the female. They try to impress the female.That was really funny :P Favourite quote:  A person's value lies deeper than skin-deep beauty. It is what's inside their heart that matters most... Beauty is something really subjective. What appears beautiful to an individual may not be as breath-taking to another. In the end, you stick to the proverb : Beauty lies in the hand of the beholder.  For a teen like me, my mom doesn't think its right to spend loads of $$$$$ at the spa or saloon or doing facial treatment so i'll teach you how to do it ALL at home. One exception, if you  don't have a maid   or if you're  maid is lazy

Dealing With Changes in Life

Image
THIS IS A REPOST, ORIGINAL BLOG POST WRITTEN ON AUG 27 2012 Dear all, this topic touches my heart deeply as there are so many changes in my life right now. I feel like suddenly my world  moved by 45 degrees (this is enough as I don't think its more than this) creating a relatively new environment in many ways. You will not completely understand what I mean. It feels tiring, complicated, confusing but when I look at it positively, its definitely a fresh start. Before you start reading, please turn on this song for better effects. When you are used to something in life and reached your comfort zone, its hard to believe that it can suddenly change. When you come to think of it, some people face harder situations. Always remember that. When you have been living around people you love, suddenly God decides to shake your globe a little and let new snowflakes fall. In a single week, there has been so many changes and so many people coming and going. Yes, I know that death takes

A Song That Resonates With Me

Image
Its Wednesday, 4th day since I reached London and I was having a relaxing morning, posting photos and making calls and buying some things online. Preparing stuff before I start getting busy very soon. This song came up in my mind and I started to humm it, decided to search on youtube and I played it over and over again. Never really realised the lyrics but when I searched for it, I realised that 80% of the lyrics resonate with me. Play the song! Inspiring music :) PS: My <3 called few minutes after and he had to listen to me singing this song hehehe Have a great day.

Good News

This summer has been amazing alhamdulillah, so many sweet memories, so many new first-times and oh-we-havent-done-this-in-a-long-time.  I know that some of my blog followers have requested I blog more often. I am sorry I have not been blogging much for last two years but when I do, I try to update you with pictures and new things. And this time, I have changed the template of my blog. I wanted it to maintain its original look and colour slightly (brown and turquoise) and to add a hint of its education background (paperclips, stationery) as well as a feminine touch (flowers). And even offered a new 'Speak to Meen' service. In this post, I want to share with you some good news!  First, alhamdulillah I had a skype session with my personal tutor and achieved an overall 1st class for my third year. Very thankful to Allah for helping me and family and loved ones for their support. I treat this achievement as a positive booster for future uptakings and believe in Allah'

Wisdom Tooth Surgery- What To Expect Before, During and After

Image
Before I start telling you my story, let me explain some basic terms and general things about our teeth. Most adults have 32 teeth- 8 incisors, 4 canine, 8 pre-molar and 12 molar (including 4 wisdom teeth). Incisors are the cute top and bottom teeth that babies start developing when their teeth start to grow. Canines are the sharp 'dracula' teeth at each edge of the jaw. The molars and pre's are the ones at the back which are thicker. Wisdom teeth are at the most end of our mouth and develop late, sometimes even in our 20s. Mine grew at the age of 18, 19 and 20. Full of wisdom already ;) hehe But.. no pain, no gain. Those teeth full of wisdom grew with a lot of pain for me. I got a fever everytime they grew. The left ones grew first if I am not mistaken and then the right ones. My teeth are bigger than what my mouth space can accommodate so the later wisdom teeth on the right side of my mouth had a little trouble. The top one grew at a slight angle but still upright like

Photos of Erfan's 10th Birthday Party

Dear all, 2 weeks and 1 day ago, we celebrated my brother's birthday as he turns a decade. Exactly 10 years ago, we were all blessed with the birth of my dearest little brother. I still remember the day clearly. It was a Tuesday, I was still in school and my father and sister came to pick me up. We stopped at McD for quick lunch then we headed over to the hospital. I felt all mixed feelings and was actually a bit shy to meet him for the first time. It sounded silly but I was actually trying to make a good impression and wondered what he thought of me. I know babies cannot remember but just in case he did, I wanted him to remember me good hehe. I remember my 10th birthday, I was actually a bit emotional because my age no longer had a single digit and it made me sound older. I was never a big fan of birthdays as a kid for one single reason- did not want to age. Now I am much better with birthdays and alhamdulillah do not get easily sad and actually feel blessed to be able to cel
