21.46pm

Only 5 hours back and I already feel so overwhelmed with stuff
I want to go back to bondo

Literally got 2 simultaneous messages asking my availability on the exact same date already aiseh gg sister

08.58am IDT

Hello!
Just felt like it's an apt time to blog- we have half hour before we leave our hotel rooms for checkout before proceeding straight to the airport, me thinks.
I was sleeping between 7-8am, and guess what- (actually this happened last night too) i'm already having dreams about this trip and the group :')
I truly will miss this experience, it has tons of ups and downs- I think more than Mount Patirana can offer- but what matters is what we feel in the end.
And right this moment before we have to leave, I say I feel good.

Last night Abi ustaz thoha and family drove down to surabaya just to have teatime (at night eh hahah) with us, and that is such a sweet gesture.
The people in ishlah are so thoughtful and beyond themselves; I promise just being there makes you auto better yourself.
I hope all of us finds it in ourselves to carry the good habits home, afterall the best souvenirs are unseen.

This feels like home to me.
And although i'm probably the least involved in the team (cue lonerness) i'd dare say that this OE would have not been the same without each and every soul here.
I'm into the thought that everyone has a story we probably cannot have guessed from the surface, and it had been a true waste I spent 18 days together with them and have not gotten the chance to learn to understand them better.

But that's life, sometimes in fleetingness we dread and sometimes in dread, fleetingness goes on.
The trip could not have gone any other way try it might.
Alhamdulillah, Allah always has the best plans for us.
May all our deeds be accepted by Him.
I'll keep Al-ishlah in my prayers till the next time I visit- cause this is definitely insyaallah not the last!

No idea if I already said this but- ok wait I think I have but still- Happy fasting!
Wish me a safe trip home and a good hibernation session.
(NOT REALLY, SO MANY TRAININGS WAITING FOR ME HALP D:)

Ok I have 18 mins to get ready zzzz

ps fasting here feels so short hahaha back to 14 hours tonight goodluck mis amigos

27th May 2017

Ehh somehow left the above post hanging ahuhuhu sorreh

Alhamdulillah, Day 1 of puasa conquered.
Tomorrow will be our last full day here at Al-ishlah, and I am bummed to say the least.
This place has accepted me as one of their own, treating me so well simultaneously as guests and as a member of their huge family.
An accidental interview led to this and I dare say it's none other than fate, a work of Allah SWT and i'll forever be thankful.
I don't want to be emo yet cause sahur here is at 3am hahahaha so I need to rest.
(Anyway I accidentally texted the fams selamat berbuka when they had an hour more to wait oopz sorreh)

Ok, before I sleep, Ramadhan kareem to all muslims.
Let us all keep striving to fight our inner demons and keep inching closer no matter how small the steps are towards Him, Insyaallah!
Goodnight, sweetdreams.
I will miss this place so bad.

6.15am IDT

Good morning!
It's been a week here and I already regret not daily blogging cause the whole point of me doing this is to document my activities la ok
As of now im waiting for my turn to bathe and get ready- we'll be having breakfast and heading to a nearby village for visiting and interacting with the residents there~
And guess what?
No need to guess
We'll be climbing mount ijen tonight!
May we be granted health and strength insyallah!

I have so many cool great fun things to share but will do so in good timing of course
What's important is that I got emo seeing a photo of khali's engagement on fb :')

Needless to say, Happy 21st birthday to mis hermanas Khali and Yol
Im embracing the no social media life and like everyone else here, im falling in and out of sickness ahaha but that's the whole experience eh

Alright, I think kakek selasih is leaving the toilet soon, I should.... get ready....

ps i think i got more and less sleep here than i did the past few months- simultaneously and as paradoxical as that sounds

00.08am

Ah... missed by 8 minutes but it's ok (//edit// 05.19am I just realised I wasn't late at all hahaha)
So turns out the host bought us sim cards which means we have access to the device called handphone
And i've been tasked to update the fb page daily- daily!
So I wont be totally absent blearghhh I wanted to disappear but life has other plans cehh jk
Already hid all my other apps besides fb whatsapp (i sooo want to hide this but alas) and blogger of course importante

So it is (oh ya I just realised the time on the title is Indonesian time- it's 1.13am in SG currently)
Spent almost 12 hours travelling which was funnn I love long bus rides
Alhamdulillah first time taking budgetish airline went smoothly- the landing was exceptionally smooth I closed my eyes to sleep and suddenly we were on land lol kudos mr pilot

The host has been splendid so far; honestly the kind of hosts I hope to be!
Very welcoming and accomodating- they even provide us with toothbrushes soap individual blankets (what are hotels anymore man this is amazing)
Muchas gracias to the nice people at Al-ishlah, we're honestly floored by the hospitality!

So this marks the start of our trip
Here are 12 questions to occupy the days ahead

#1 If you and three friends are stuck on a deserted island, who would be eaten first?

When I saw three friends I immediately thought of melly yol and eatgo. Either yol or melly will be eaten first cause yol=finder of trouble & melly=lazy to fight back

#2 What can melt your heart

Idk, kindness and fire

#3 Has anyone in your life ever betrayed you

I mean... betrayed is a strong word... but yes haha that's life

#4 Would you erase your most precious memories to become smarter

First of all if a wizard or genie came up to you with this offer please be smart and say no because smartER can be manipulated in so many ways. Secondly, no never.

#5 What's one thing you hate sharing?

Nothing in particular? Im a sharer hahah

#6 Dedicate a song to your crush

No crushes, but I would dedicate... cant think of anything alamak

#7 What is your dream travel destination?

Honestly anywhere around the world- but maldives/anywhere on the french polynesia (tahiti, fiji island you get my drift) will be on top

#8 Who is your favourite artist?

Im gonna go on and answer it as artiste cause I dont know artists that well hahah mm siti nurhaliza

#9 What is your most played song?

According to my phone it's Stone cold (of course it is)

#10 What compliments do people give you the most?

Cant recall as of now

#11 What sport is the most boring?

To watch: Golf
To play: idk all sports are fun with the right company

#12 What is your favourite sport to watch?

Wrestling

Alright, we gotta be up in 3 hours cause of how early their subuh is!
Here's to hoping I get my nikki bella approved 2 hours power nap
And im not responding to any messages apologies
Goodnight, sweetdreams!

Sunday, May 14, 2017

1.10am

5.14am

I mean... we'll keep trying ok
You know what maybe my disengagement with the sleeping mask contributed to this sleep cycle
Happy Saturday, anyways!
Heading to grandma's stall in a few hours time and hopefully collect some cupcakes on the way!

Anyway it is ain's 17th birthday honestly this is insane, insane
I don't even remember what age we were both at when I first met her???
Pretty sure I was in pri school but can't exactly recall which level
We met through a RC club cause both our mothers joined thanks to a mutual friend and our families ended up practically combining so literally first day of raya will consist of each other which is so precious
I hope my current friendships reaches that level la ok hahhaa
I truly wish her all the best- I believe in her and of course I have so much love for her!
She was there with me when I was growing up but I guess our process went differently cause I couldnt be there for her while she was growing up.
Still, she knows i'll always have her back bruh team purple forever

Since i'll be gone for at least 16 days (if im not lazy or tired) i'll answer 16 questions in tomorrow's post (just to make myself feel better about missing my daily blogposts which I can't believe I actually kept up for 4 months wow kudos)
This trip has quite a number of firsts for me which should be cool
Ok im actually sleepy but my brain is mariah careying sleep (it doesnt acknowledge it doesnt even KNOW what who when why where this sleep thing is)

Friday, May 12, 2017

2.55am

Okay, survived the OPES period (aka the prepping of logistics and trial runs and long days at school) which I still have no idea what it stands for and where the name came from
Operation preparation enforcement standby?
Ongoing potential emergency scan?
Whatever it is we're done with it!
Boxes are packed and now we're just mentally prepping I guess ahahah I cant believe the weekend is here may He bless our journey with ease and protect us all from harm Insyaallah
Managed to speak to more people and im hoping for more bonding to come in bondo ahaha.hahaha...... ha....im sure this pun hasnt been made a thousand times or anything
Anyway I got Hajar as muh buddy which is cool cause we were just talking in the campus rider on the way home on weds
It may be exactly 3am as im typing this but the sheer thought of what I need to do today is just annoying me hahaha
And auditions for acachamps sounds so formal i mean it is supposed to be formal but it makes everyone scared idek if i'm going to audition but then again elephant is joining acachamps too and it will be so cool to compete on the same stage muahaha
Whatever lets not think about this first

All the panic aside,
Y2J IS REBOOKED IN WWE SG
And it better stay that way u pricks playing with our feelings like this

ps lOOK at this beautiful human why philip

Wednesday, May 10, 2017

4.36am

Internally groaning but whatever
I had a lovely evening with my harmonix members, since I realised my evening was free I decided to drop by and by drop by I mean purposefully headed there to watch them train hahah
Simultaneously felt like forever yet no time seemed to have passed since I last saw them!

Planning to head out to city square/mustafa again to get the remaining stuff before heading to school
Actually half hoping I dont fall asleep anytime soon cause bruh
But then again i'll probably need a power nap which as any other naps in the world is extremely dangerous and risky and hahahah we'll see gurl we'll try
Ok im awaiting the new dnpgames video to be uploaded and then whatever happens, happens

Ceh I sound so hippie go with the flow not totally cmon im a girl with a plan... sometimes

Anyway psa if you have other ways at all to contact me please avoid fb messenger it is the single most annoying inefficient thing ever wth i'd rather you literally email or post on my wall just. not. messenger.

//edit//

And i miss eatgo and melly

18.18pm

Currently at school listening to syaf and syaz's cultural presentation
(ok this ummi trying to get out from performing hahahahah)
Spent my day at city square in decathlon buying 15 balls and miscellaneous items
Managed to hitch and had a fun talk with the driver~
Best part about hitch are usually conversations
Though it means even when im super sleepy, im obliged to talk ehehe nevermind you rest when youre home ok
I saw this post on tumblr about how it would be cool if there was a device that releases gold lights to indicate that it is the last time we see/use things- disturbing yes but it just reminds us of fleetingness; of how sometimes you never know that today is the last time you get to sit at a particular restaurant, a specific bus, strangers you see literally once in a lifetime (cool though if their lights dont shine it means we will see them again even if no interactions are involved)
But anyway, lesson is that we should learn to appreciate every fleeting things because truly nothing is a coincidence and nothing happens without reason.
May we all learn to appreciate life and embrace every emotions.
May we learn to surrender to nature and allow ourselves to feel.
Have a great week ahead, please!

Ideally i'd be roaming around the mall peacefully to run errands in the day but then again it is the weekend so no such thing as peacefully

Maharaja lawak Mega 2017: The results

Boy do I have a review coming ahead regarding the MLM finals and results
Congrats bocey for the record setting 2nd win, and thank you to every single one of the contestants for working hard to entertain us all, definitely not an easy task but they made it seem effortless
Results are as follows
5th: Puteh
4th: Zero
3rd: Dzawin
2nd: Shiro
1st: Bocey

Kinda make sense based on their usual performance, but let's see how they did during finals and if the positions are justified!
Ultimately it's their rezeki so kudos

Now can jozan and sepahtu return to reclaim their thrones heheheh jk everyone can share the throne but jozan and sepahtu just return just come

Currently waiting for the bus homeeee
Had a nice day though the burn comes and goes
Had lunch with yol cause we found out we were at opposite buildings and talked about ancestors hahahhaa
Continued to cut papers from 9am to 7pm with yol and syaz before we had to leave- managed to dinner together which was another nice catchup session (which continued on the train ahaha)
Ended up at yishun interchange idk why because I thought i'd be burnt out by now but I guess not
Will probably knockout once I reach home (doubftul but hopeful at the same time do u feel me)
Im pretty sure I have some things on but I just cant remember hahaha my scheduling days has left me for a while no idea where it went to
Ok buhbye goodnight

23.13pm

Eyy yo
Had quite a nice day, the logistics preparation for bondo trip began and we were painting giant snakes and ladders boards
Aka finally got to holla my painter side hahahaha
Had a session of would you rathers and weird scenarios  (adri: for 2000 a month would you stay in a small room with no devices, with an old lady who does nothing but stare at you from the corner of the room for a year)
Somehow ended up telling ghost stories when I realised I was late to go home ahahais

Anyway here's a list of things I want to repick up as soon as possible, in no particular order

1) Piano: Need I say more.... I miss it a lot, particularly after mama got rid of my organ :') The fact that dan has a new white (freaking electrical) piano makes this feeling soar even more

2) Españyol: Reyrey has been posting solamente in Spanish this past week and as much as I understand him (which still excites me so much hehehah) I want to go full pro I mean cmon life skills

3) Theatre: Kinda want to undergo the whole disturbingly tiring process, kinda don't

4) Painting: I always like the idea of painting for leisure but it's between lazy to start and (like I said before) my (I think) lack of patience when doing art aka I don't really try and take my time

and FOR SHREK'S SAKE,

5) WRESTLING: Although I can just feel the pain I just... idk I want to be in the ring (not the ghost movie hahaha k what)

Ok, I have messages awaiting my response......
Can I not
Yes I can hahaahh
Adios buenas noches sweetdreams

In an attempt to cure my internal clock im awake early psht it's a public holiday
Ironically it's labour day and I have so many things to settle
Join me as I physically drain myself into oblivion
Hahahahaa

//edit//

22.23pm

Wow ive slept the whole day, hopefully i'll feel more alive and able to move by tomorrow :') 

13 days to the bondo trip and I am beyond stoked to begin with the preparations but you know self hurdle to conquer first ahahais insyaallah he will ease all our affairs

And to all humans in my life idk how this perception was formed (although it is very common) but me not having exams has no correlation to my busyness level ok I am not a free bird just because I dont have to sit for four 3 houred papers
