Assalamualaikum!
First post for 2019! Finally, after such a long time I am contemplating on what to post, put a few unfinished ones to draft, akhirnya, macam biasalah, yang tak plan tu jugaklah yang bergerak.

       2019. How young are you guys this year? I'm 21 this year. Wow dah lebih dua dekad hidup hahaha. Alhamdulillah. To be honest, since I become a university student, new years no longer give this special feeling I always feel when I was in school. Mostly because every year end and new year beginning is final exam season. So, tengah sibuk-sibuk nak exam tu anda rasa saya ada masa nak sambut tahun baru? Oh, which reminds me that when the clock strikes 00:00 on the 1st January 2019, my friends and I tengah dalam kereta nak drive thru McD hahaha. Our 2019's first meal 😂 And tengok bunga api dari dalam kereta je, ada la orang dekat dataran(?) dekat-dekat MITC tu pasang bunga api. Lepastu balik rumah macam tak ada apa-apa berlaku. Teruskan kehidupan makan tengah malam macam biasa.

       Azam pun, dah lama dah takde. Dah tahu dah bukan tercapai pun hahaha lagi-lagi azam nak kurangkan mencarut 😂 But this year, since dah umur doplohsatu kan, kenalah matang sikit. So I listed myself a few new year resolution and target.

Dan Zahidah masih lagi dengan bahasa rojaknya. Korang sabar je lah eh?

Assalamualaikum!

       So, as you guys know, or might not know, besides handlettering, I also do bullet journal, a.k.a bujo. You guys can simply Google to get the idea of what bullet journal is and how it looks like. Mine isn't as beautiful as pictures you guys might found, but, yeah, lebih kurang begitulah hahaha. I started bujo-ing since January 2017, so basically it's my second year bujo-ing. I ocassionally post pictures of my spread on my Instagram story and put it on highlights, and a few people replied that they're envious of how I'm able to keep up with journal-ing. So, since 2019 is coming real soon, maybe there's also some of you guys might be interested in bujo, but are afraid that it'll end up dibiarkan begitu saja terikat namun tak bertali, or fear that you guys might give up, here's some tricks that I can share.

1. You don't have to journal every single day.
       Although, you're everyday single, you don't necessarily need to journal everyday. Just like diary, you only write when there's anything funny, sad, interesting, etc happens in your life. Same goes with bullet journal. Most of the people in bullet journal community out there tends to design the spread before-hand so that's why you guys will see they have a complete days of the week in their bujo. As for me, that requires too much commitment and time, so I don't design before hand. That way, I can write only when I feel to because I'm not obligated to fill in the design for each day.

2. Decorate it!
      Now, here I'll get few excuses such as, "I tak berseni macam you", "I tak reti lukis", "Tulisan I tak lawa" and the list goes on. Although everything that is listed is wrong, as in, aku pun tak berseni, tak reti lukis, and tulisan buruk hahaha. However, decoration, doesn't necessary comes from you, if you know what I mean. It doesn't have to be something that you draw or write by yourself. You can always print out things, go to pinterest, and just type bullet journal printable, and tadaaa you'll see many things to choose from. Other than that, you can print out photos of your favourite artists, cartoons, or make it more meaningful by printing out selfies with your friends, photos of your cats, like, literally, anything. The point and uniqueness of bujo is it's only one in the whole world. You can never find a book, a journal similar to yours. So personalize it!

       If printing requires too much effort or time for you, you can always buy sticker from stores like Mr. D.I.Y (highly recommended sebab murah!) or Daiso or Kaison. If you say you don't know how to decorate your bujo, I suggest you to go through #bulletjournal on Instagram. You can get so many inspiration there. When I first started, I just directly copy how the bujo-ers paste their sticker, the senget benget, ada yang koyak-koyak kertas then tampal, tiru je. Just copy. Lama-lama, dah terbiasa and you know how to decorate your spread without any reference.

3. Everything doesn't have to be expensive and branded
       If you look on videos on Youtube, most of the bujo-ers have a branded notebook as their bujo. Of course, when it says branded, it means it costs quite some money. Plus, some of the things are hard to find in Malaysia unless you buy it online, and yes, shipping costs more money.

       For beginners I don't really suggest you to straight buy an expensive book for your journal, because for me, it took me halfway through the year barulah bujo I ada rupa bujo. 6 bulan sebelum tu, macam buku conteng budak tadika hahaha. So idk about you, but for me macam sayanglah buku dah mahal, tapi I ruined it. But if you memang berseni then of course you can spend money on it! If not, my suggestion is of course, notebook Mr. D.I.Y. But!!! There's very limited choice to choose from tbh because most of it are lined notebook and the lines are very obvious so that kinda ruin the spread. Kena pandai pilih. Ada line is okay, tapi kena cari yang line dia malu-malu camtu, macam nampak tak nampak je. You can also find your notebook at Daiso! This is recommended because Daiso have better choices of notebook. If you're lucky, you'll also find dotted and grid notebook, which the kind that lots of bujo-ers use. Harga still murah, design pun mostly cute je kan if from Daiso, so who wins? You win. Kaison also have many cute notebooks, but usually they sealed it with plastic so I don't really know how the inside looks like for most of it.

       Other than notebooks, decorations like tapes, stickers, sticky notes, Mr. D.I.Y got a looooot of cute ones and cost like RM 2~8 only. Same goes with pens! They got variety of pens, coloured, glittered, neon-coloured, mostly under RM10. It doesn't have to be from Muji, Stabilo, or any other well-known brands. This plays a part in your commitment to bujo-ing because let's say if your pen ran out of ink, you don't have the pressure to buy another one that cost quite an amount of money. Hope that makes sense, though.

4. If you don't have time, jot down in your phone first
       I understand, that nak betul-betul duduk, bawak keluar segala jenis pen, stickers blablabla and focus untuk journal almost everyday tu kadang-kadang leceh. So, if you're busy but still thought that whatever you went through is journal-worthy, you can always write in the Note in your phone first. Maybe you can write some important points so you wouldn't completely forget what happened? Kalau memory Dory macam I ni, memang senang je lupa so sometimes I do this. When it's weekend where I finally have some time and space to clear my mind and release my stress, baru I bukak my bujo. Senang, sekali tu je sepah-sepah pen terabur apa semua, and sekali tu je kemas everything semula.


So, I think that's all that I can share, for now? The most important thing is, do something that you're comfortable with. I do this bujo thing to release my stress, so let's say if I go too far out of what I'm comfortable with, that will just bring me another pressure. But, if you're okay with challenging yourself to do things that you've never done before, then why not? So, at the end, it all depends on yourself. I would love to upload some of my favourite spread in my blog someday, but let's wait until the day I have enough time to edit and blur out what I wrote in the journal since everything is too personal to share 😅 So let's keep that for next time, hopefully, soon.

Signing off.
Bye and Assalamualaikum! 😃

I'm still in dilemma whether to choose lined or blank-paged notebook for my bullet journal next year

MITC, Melaka | 10 Jun 2017

Why must I decide about tomorrow, today?
How should I know what tomorrow will bring?
My path and dreams are fading
---
Again today, there are questions that I don't know the answer
I'm trying to answer, but I'm not confident
Is it this way, or is it that way?
I'm slowly becoming afraid of my decision

The Heights Residence, Melaka | 5 April 2018

Assalamualaikum!
Hi guys, as I mentioned in my previous, previous post, I'm starting my Industrial Training atau bahasa kampungnya Latihan Industri atau bahasa pemalasnya, LI, so I'm here to share how it has been going so far.

       Some of you guys might know, or might not know that I'm a Diploma student in course ICT, but I undergo my LI at SMK Pelabuhan, Kuantan. Yes, a school. While orang lain sibuk cari company, school has always been in my first target, and is the first number I gave a call. The reason is, first, sebab I memang tahu sekolah ni pernah ambil student IT untuk LI. Second, my sister is a teacher here- bukan nak pakai cable eh- tapi sebab senang nak commute. Third, I've always want to be a teacher, tapi tak kesampaian. Tak adalah expect diri ini nak mengajar pun, cuma I just want to experience working environment dekat sekolah, dengan cikgu-cikgu, and students. So, yes, sekolah it is. SMKP pun terima aku dengan hati terbuka, lagilah aku terus malas nak cari tempat lain.

So this is my view everyday and yes, that's twitter in the background ahshsajja

       I'm placed at the school's computer lab which I loike very the muchi because aircond!! Although now my skin is getting dryer that it already is blergh. Tapi okaylah at least tak panas peluh lecak-lecak kan hahaha.  My working scope is not that heavy, I believe. Just adalah design sikit-sikit, tolong student or cikgu bila ada problem, hias-hias makmal sikit-sikit. And disebabkan sekolah ni tak cukup cikgu camtu, so ada jugak dapat relief kelas hahahaha I FEEL SO CIKGU TAHU TAK AKSKSKSK. Especially bila the students call me cikgu. Kalau ikutkan, aku sedar diri je aku ni tak layak dipanggil cikgu, like I don't have the qualification pun okay. But my boss, tuan pengetua bagi je the students call me cikgu so we still have boundaries, because, umur tak jauh beza pun haa aku ni pangkat kakak-kakak je dengan diorang. So my boss doesn't want them to become disrespectful la gitu.

With students present in the lab

       Socializing was... uh, so-so. I'm a socially awkward person, it's really hard for me to make new friends tbh, especially in this working environment where I'm the youngest here, and everyone is a teacher, and much older so I'm more to scared I'd done something rude or disrespectful to them. Cuma, things are a little okay because everyone already know me as 'Adik Izati'- which is my sister. Btw, my sister moved to other school just before I started my LI :-----) It does bring me somewhat a pressure though because of course, people will somehow compare, and my sister and I are completely different in personalities, physically we're pretty much similar so everyone's like "muka sama je dia dengan Izati" hahahaha. Personality-wise, I'm less patient than her, so kalau ada yang cari pasal tu firstly memang muka aku obvious gilalah bila annoyed. But so far, ada satu cikgu and satu kelas ni je betul-betul get on my nerve 😤

I think that's all for now? I think I'll update more about my whole experience once my LI is over, that, if I have time to sit and write because after LI terus start new sem a.k.a my last semester for diploma!

Bye and Assalamualaikum 😊

Oh, my blog has new look! It's not completely done yet but what do you think?
