Can't you see the glow on the window pane?

Ahh, I've been working on my room in the spare time that I have . I should be studying philosophy a lot more, but meh . I have my times .
Did the frame thingy that I've been craving to do for most of the summer. I took a more abstract approach and just did what I wanted . I didn't plan it, like the Youtube guru that I got the idea from did, but hey, it's me who's gotta see the thing everyday, right?
I know you've asked me how this thing was going, Nis, so to anwer your question, here you go:

So here's my take of the perfume/ vanity tray;

Rain against the windows and the strong coffee

Went to Ikea yesterday, just because it was a Friday and I only had an hour of class (woohoo!) . Came across some things I'd been searching for for quite a long time now. Plain white bed sheet, a white candle stand, and a picture frame.


The candle stick, and the frame are of course, being part of my latest craft project, so we'll see how that goes, and where it fits in my (wretched) study schedule. And I thought IG's were tough pressure. (Haha, I joke. Nothing worse than IGCSE's *gagging noises*)

We saw this cute circus themed tent for little tykes in the children's section, and thought that it would be so cute for Fluffy and Boo to hang out in, since they are almost always outside. I put it up inside first, though, to see how it would look like. (I need training in the patience department.)

After a hurricane, comes a rainbow

Went out today, for the nice weekend weather allowed it. One Utama was really amazing, and we got to visit parts of it we hadn't seen before, since we hadn't lived here for quite a while .



Something else, that had been very big happened, and though it was a little traumatic (to say the least), it was a sign, or lesson to be learnt from . 
A teacher of mine had told me that it happens to nearly everyone, and the best thing to do is to be 'redha' . It means to be content with something, and accept the situation as it is, and surrender ourselves to Him . Seek refuge and security, forgiveness and happiness . 
So with these things, you don't even need to tune to the news on TV to know that there are others who are less fortunate, but still are more grateful, and patient . My own neighbours have been through far worse, and my prayers are with them . I'm going to stop and say that it could have been a lot worse; because it really could have been, and hope for the best .
Thanks Yasmin, for being there when I hadn't quite learnt this yet, and when I hadn't actually been in a peaceful-minded mode . You can count on me, and I can count on you . 
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -Marilyn Monroe

Five days of summer in the rain

I had decided that I hadn't spent enough time outside, so today I actually went outside in the back garden just purely because I felt like it . I brought along my instax camera as well, since I felt like being a hipster today . idk don't judge me

I followed Boo and realised that I actually hadn't snapped an individual photo of Boo in his favourite place yet . I had captured a photo of Fluffy in his frequent space; aka on my bed . There's this specific area in the garden where Boo likes to sit . His commited spot .
I kid you not . He really is commited .


When he notices it starts to rain, he rushes out from under the roofed part of the garden (where his food is served), and sits under a potted plant which I will assume is a fern . And he sits there and watches the rain as it pelts down . I really do not know why .
Strange bunny .

Fluffy just sits under a chair near his plate when he goes outside . He refuses to get wet or muddy . He's the more mellow, clean one, wheras Boo is the hyper, adventurous, one-with-nature rabbit . My granny calls him 'kampung bunny', lol . :')

Anyway, I caught him hanging out in his favourite place . It'll always be one of my favourite pictures of him in the world .

lights will guide you home

So what with the leak and everything, I decided to fix up my room a little . Reluctantly, with orange mini plastic bags as gloves . I can't stand leaving my room the way it was, so redecorating seemed like a great idea .
I also took the chance to put up my shelf I bought from Ikea about three months ago . I left the drilling part to my dad, who just bought a drill but never used it . Took quite a while to put up, but I'm super glad that we eventually did .




I placed several things on the shelf, and hoping that it doesn't collapse . I didn't put it above my bed just in case it did, though . Call me paranoid, but I just am terrified of shelves and I do not know why .

So, um, 1 job done, 67 to go .
Probably .

And the rain; it came and came

Can't sleep now .

Insomnia again, aghh. Have to get used to sleeping early .
Uni is in less than two months .
I'm so bored but, asdfghjkl, I am so nervous .

The book 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' was meh . Or, like, *waves red flag with awkward bashful turtle face .
But I liked the quotes; "We only accept the love we think we deserve", and "...and I swear in that moment we were infinite."
It really, really inspired me to write . I hadn't realised it until shortly before my exams, but I had a passion for writing as well . I'd realised it as I used writing as a way of procrastination against revising lol .

*

The scariest element of the future is the connotations it brings; the aura of mystery, and the unknown that awaits one . Things you once were used to, things you may have neglected to cherish today, may disappear tommorow . The future may bring sadness, but it may also gift joy and happiness . It's like a dice . Sometimes you roll a two; sometimes you roll a six . Either way, it's luck or fate .
Jump; leap, even, to your future, and trust that you will not come crashing down . Take a breather . Take a chance .

I'm coming home, coming home

One of the great upsides to having lived outside of your home country for so long is that you never take your family for granted ever again . You're so used to being only with your immediate family, when you come home, and see your uncle and aunty and little cousins every weekend, you're glad .
I'm so thankful for them, and love them so much .

Had dinner with the whole family at The Chicken Rice Shop, and had fun playing with little cousins and seeing Men in Black 3 HD .
I'd also gotten these body mists from an aunty of mine, who goes to the Airport KLIA frequently as part of her job . She'd gotten them for me because she'd known I'd been longing for these from Victoria's Secret. I loved the fragrances and purses . 


 A lot of people had recommended the Beauty Rush and PINK line, but they were discontinued as they were released a long time ago . Although you could still order PINK online on their site . But these were just as good, I think; although I can't say because I haven't smelt the others . Sheer Love is white cotton and pink lily, and Secret Charm is honeysuckle and jasmine, which I thought was so sweet . 
I think these are great if you're looking for something light, sweet, fun and not too empowering . It isn't as long-lasting as perfumes, but I'm told with these mists, you could put them on your face or hair .
I'm extremely sensetive to products, but I'd had no reactions to it, so I thought that was really good .

Other than these little things, there's really nothing else to report; apart from the fact that I saw a four-foot(-ish) monkey in my backyard garden this afternoon. Pity Fluffy and Boo were napping . But I doubt bunnies and monkeys would make the best of friends .
Oh, and there's been a leak in my room on my bed, and now it smells of things you may prefer not to imagine, and now I'mma sleep on the couch in the living room .
That's all for now x
