The Fault In Our Stars

Mhm I have finally watched The Fault In Our Stars after what felt like forever! Hehe and yes I did enjoy it. I am not a H U G E fan of the book. I thought it was good, but it wasn't one of my favourites. However I did get pretty excited when they decided to make it into a movie. Another sad love story to watch and dwell on? Who wouldn't want that? (not being sarcastic guys, I actually really really like sad movies)

As expected, the movie made me cry buckets. And to my surprise, my mum cried too! It isn't often to see my mum cry so if my mum can cry watching that movie, you probably will too. I honestly enjoyed the movie more than the book. I cannot wait until Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns comes out as movies. Those two are my favourite John Green books so I am going to be double as excited as I was for TFIOS. Praying that the cast will be great, they have to choose the perfect Alaska and Margo. They just have to.

June Favourites

June is over and I thought I'd share a couple of things I was loving in June!

1. Pointy- Toe Flats
So I got a pair of simple dark blue pointed flats in Cotton On not long ago and I am in love. There is really nothing special about the shoes but they are definitely my new go to shoes! They are also super affordable (RM 50). Cheap and comfortable, what more could I ask for..

2. Dark Lip Colours
I was so in love with dark shades for my lips. I was either putting on this dark shade of purple/ pink lip colour or wearing my red lipstick. I felt so nude wearing lighter colours somehow. 

3. Greek
During the school holidays I used my time wisely by finishing 4 seasons of Greek on Netflix. I was OBSESSED. I'm gonna go ahead and spoil the ending for all of you. In my defence, the series ended a couple of years ago so you should already know the ending. Anyway, Cappie and Cassie ended up together so that was amazing. Finally a series where the two people I like end up together.

4. Tumblr
I stopped Tumblr- ing for a while but I'm back. Started loving Tumblr again this month because I needed something to entertain me during boring days. 

5. Songs
I love songs all the time, but these were my favourites last month ;
- Eskimo Kiss by The Kooks
- Summer by Calvin Harris 
- Latch covered by Kodaline
- Ain't It Fun by Paramore

Ramadhan

Can you believe it.. It's Ramadhan already. I still get shocked every time we get into a new month this year. Almost every single month I'll go all 'It's *insert month* already?!' I get kind of sad thinking of how time flies. I feel like I'm in this hour glass and I can't get out. Just have to keep moving before I get buried in the sand. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. I waste so much time, maybe that's why I feel that way. I always tell myself to appreciate everyday. I try thinking about how I will never relive that particular day again. Doesn't it amaze you? How you'll never be able to go back to a certain day. This might sound a little confusing, but once you get what I'm trying to say.. it is horrifying.

Ramadhan is a special month and I intend to try my very best to be a better version of myself this month. Not saying that you should only change for the better during this period of time only, but take this month as a start to a new you. During this holy month, iblis and syaitan are tied up so every bad thing you do, is your doing.

I've been feeling down lately. Not sure if it is because I'm on my period or is it just because of how tiring and agonizing my days have been. Not in the greatest mood right now but I hope things will get better soon. Don't want to go through Ramadhan with such a negative vibe. Oh and not to forget, if anyone I know is reading this, I'd like to apologize for my wrong doings towards you. I'm sorry if I have ever hurt your feelings or done something not very nice to you. Hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. Have a blessed month. May Allah bless you always!

Live in the path most pleasing to Allah and depart from this dunya in a manner most pleasing to Allah.

Asian

Being an asian myself, I decided that I wanted to write a post about my 2 favourite Asians on the internet, Jenn Im and Michelle Phan. I discovered these 2 asian beauties last year and have been adoring them ever since! 

First of, Jenn Im. She's known as clothesencounters on YouTube. Not only is she super adorable but she also has a great voice. No, she doesn't sing. Well not that I know of, but I really like listening to her voice. It's a little rusty and deep, so opposite from her looks. She's Korean if I'm not mistaken but she was born and raised in the US.  Jenn has a really unique style. She's very chic and a little to the hipster side. My favourite thing about Jenn has to be her hair! She totally rocks the shoulder length hair cut. 

Jenn Im 

Next, Michelle Phan. I don't think I need to say much, I'm pretty sure almost all girls (the ones who go on YouTube at least) know who she is. Michelle is truly an inspiration. She is THE beauty guru. She gives out great tips and does amazing tutorials. The most amazing thing about Michelle is her life story. She had a rough past but look at her now. She's so well- known and filthy rich.

Friday the 13th

Happy Friday, guys! 2 more days until school starts. You have no idea how upset I am. The last thing I need right now is school. School has just been getting worse lately. Counting the days till I can leave that place, but I have another 1 and a half years. The holidays have been pretty good though. Who am I kidding, they have been great.

I'm kind of in a dilemma right now. I can't decide whether I should watch The Fault in Our Stars or not. Thing is, the movie has been released in the US but for some reason Malaysia is only playing it in the cinemas in early July. WHY MALAYSIA?! Last night, some people said the movie was leaked on Megashare so I went to check it out. I was so ready to watch it but then the movie was in such bad quality. It was someone's recording in the cinema. I don't want to watch a good movie in such bad quality.. but I really cannot wait to watch it. Do you see my problem?

In case you guys didn't know, I'm a sucker for sad movies. I love sad movies, especially those that make me cry. I find a movie worth watching if it made me tear up or made me happy after watching it. And The Fault in Our Stars is definitely going to make me cry, no doubt about that. I haven't watched a sad movie in a while and I feel like I need to feed my soul with a good sad movie. Such a sad and demanding soul I have there.

Talking about sad movies, you have to watch The Notebook and A Walk to Remember. I'm sure most people have watched it but just incase you haven't, please do! They made me cry buckets because they were so sad. And if you haven't read Eleanor and Park, you are totally missing out. It's a great book and it would be such a waste if you didn't read it.

Happy 2 more days of holiday guys

Today and Eternity

"Life is about choosing between duniya and the akhirah. It's choosing between today and eternity. It's choosing between a good journey, or a good destination. You can't choose both, but only one can leave you without regrets on that day."

One of the wisest things I've ever heard.

Eyeliner Obsessed

I wasn't very into eyeliner before this. I got interested in makeup a few months ago but I always thought that eyeliner didn't look good on me and made my eyes look smaller than they actually were. And they would smudge a lot and end up making me look like a panda. So I wasn't such a big fan. Then after watching EssieButton on YouTube do an eyeliner tutorial with an eyeliner pen, I decided to get myself one because she made it look super easy and I find that eyeliner pens are so much easier to work with than eye pencils. So I went out and got the exact same on she was using. Well at least I think it's the exact same one.

Tadaa. It's from Revlon and costs around RM 30. Definitely more expensive than I had expected but still worth it nevertheless.

I swear this thing made me become obsessed with eyeliners. I get excited nowadays to go out because I get to put on some eyeliner. I'm very happy with this product besides the fact that I think there's too little ink. I've only gotten it for a few weeks and the ink's already starting to fade.
