lets read

I used to read novels back in high school. Be it in english or malay. For english novel, I found it really helpful in improving my language, vocab and whatnot. Of course communicating in that language also helps. Not a problem there because I studied in a school with a multiracial students. We use english in dialy basis.

Then comes university life where it is 100% malays and bumiputera. A place that make you look like an alien if you talk in english. People will look at you like you're from the Pluto. Sad but true. Day by day, I can feel that I'm losing the mojo in writing and practising the language. I can no longer construct a flowery sentence.

Now, I think it's time for me to start reading, again !! Yes you can see my determination with that exclamation mark. haha. Many people tell me that they love Sophia Kinsella's novel. She's the writer of Devil Wears Prada and Confession of a Shopaholic.

As a start, I chose "Can You Keep a Secret?" by the young writer. Read it until chapter 9 already. I love they way she writes and how she puts words into a sentence.

I'm sure I won't stop with only one book. Gonna get other collections later because MPH one utama is having a book fair now. Bought it at 30% off. Great deal.

I know I shouldn't be reading novel when the final exam is just in a week -.-'

books = boring?
lets talk fashion. hehe


It's bright and sun-shining here, Selangor particularly. No idea how it's like in other states. I find that top made with soft chiffon material is the the best choice as it is so comfortable and breezy. I don't sweat much in it.

I love the color combo of my outfit to class today. My dark black hair matches the cardigan. That skinny belt matches my handbag. And my trousers matches my pump heels(not in the picture).

hair products

I have a natural straight and black colored hair. I straightened my hair when I was in form 2 although it's already straight, curled it up twice when I was in form 3 and 5. Then chopped it off and tried few styles from bob cut to bangs. Now I wanna keep it long and maintain it with once a month treatment.

My hair regime is simple. I don't use conditioner or serum to moisten it. Just shampoo. Very simple.

But my hair fall problem is getting worse as it grows longer! grrr.

I think it's about time to use conditioner and other hair products. Just bought few dove new line hair products. Intense Repair Shampoo, Intense Repair Conditioner, Intense Repair Overnight Treatment and Leave On Cream. Shall try these for few weeks and see the result.

my current obsession is headband

making it work

Through out this week, I'm amazed on how my brain had finally started to function normally. The next thing I knew, I was on my bed with piles of notes. I mean, on bed studying not sleeping, duhh. Maybe because my brain freaked out about progress test on friday(just now) and finals in 3 weeks time while my body is somewhere in heaven. hehe. It went well. Better that previous tests. I guess to choose between a true or false answer is harder than writing an essay.

Happy holidays to uitm students. In shah alam to be exact. I'm expecting less cars, no traffic jam in the campus, ample parking space so that I dont have to double-park my car or to push dirty cars that block mine, less students fighting over food at the cafe

2 more weeks of classes to go.

more gossip in town

Did I mention that Gossip Girl is back? With more drama in season 4. Now I'm crawling on my bed while waiting it to be downloaded. grrr.

xoxo,
gossip girl

politeness

One reason why I love staying in this residential area is because of the people. 70% or the residents are foreigners from different countries who are working in Malaysia. Upstairs mat saleh, downstairs mat saleh, groups of mat salehs on your way to swimming pool, everywhere.

The best thing about them is their politeness toward strangers. Do you say a simple 'hye' or 'morning' to strangers? I bet you don't because we especially girls were raised with the mind set 'do not have any eye contact with strangers. just walk straight. potential flasher is everywhere' hehe.

Unlike them. Just imagine this. You are walking downstairs, and there's this mat saleh greets you 'good morning girl'. One simple greeting can turn your cranky morning mood to a better feeling and you will eventually start your day with a smile. Lovely isn't it?

It seems impossible to apply this within us. There must be hidden intention when a stranger guy smiles towards a girl or the other way round. Three possible scenes that are expected to happen.

1) That girl will spontaneously look behind just to make sure that the guy is smiling to her.
2) That guy will get 'do i know you' look from that girl as she squinches her eyes.
3) The next thing you know, you got smacked in your face by her bf.

This kind of mind set that need to be changed among us.

PL: behind the scene

Shopping is not something that you do when you're free or under stress. It's a habit. It's like some of us have this habit of biting their nails. You can't stop though you know you're destroying yourself. I can soo relate myself to this.

Now that I prefer wearing trousers and shirt to classes, my biggest spend would definitely be on those items. I'm very particular when it comes to choosing shirts. No thick and stiff cotton, please. I love chiffon and soft cotton materials. The problem is, those materials are expensive!

Luckily I found a way to solve this problem. Not to be greedy, I share with all ladies in this world :)

Project Love (PL) is a small online business by me and my bloodsister, nadi. Looking at all clothes, I can't stop myself from having each and every one of them. A high quality chiffon top at rm50? Thinking back that I bought a similar top at Zara for rm169 made me want to jump from the fifth floor -.-"

Of course there are pros and cons when you purchase online. There is always possibilities that it's not like what it was described, wrong size etc. For PL, we give our utmost priority to quality. All items are hand-picked by us and we make sure that it worth every penny.

For a better satisfaction, we join few bazaars so that all project lovers can have a real look at all clothes and even try them! No harm. We're cool that way :) Anyway,we'll be at I love Bazaar in Subang Parade this coming weekened. And every other weekends too.

Never thought I'm able to juggle two works at a time though Nadi handles the business during weekdays due to my time constraint. I know dentistry and business is two different thing but so far, I'm on track.

But in any ways, you can't avoid shopping mall, can you? They're just irresistible. Though it's just a so called window shopping. Sometimes it's freaky when I say I miss the smell of OU -.-"

one happy girl

baju kurung stories

When I received the offer to further my study in dentistry, all sorts of thoughts came out. And my biggest issue was the faculty's dressing code. Strictly no jeans and only formal outfit is allowed. Living in malaysia and studying in UiTM, formal dress code means baju kurung. Well at least I'm used to that scenario. Back in jengka, any event under the uni requires students to dress formally; and you will see people coming to the hall wearing baju kurng.

I always have this dream of wearing a set of pencil or high waisted skirt, nice shirt and gorgeous heels to work. That's formal dress code to me. Baju kurung is boring. You're like a walking curtain with the same design top to bottom. Rules remain rules. I wear kurung to classes on Monday and Friday.

Sometimes, I dress something above what the ordinary uitm or shall I say dental students wear. I prefer wearing trousers and shirt or blouse eventhough I have a one month stock of kurung. It is more practical to me compared to kurung as I'll be seating most of the time treating my dummy(and patient in the future). You wouldn't want to be seen 'terkangkang' while treating your patients, would you?

And yes, I wear high heels although uitm's road is soo not high heels friendly. Who wears trousers with pumps or sandals anyway? Of course I get the 'look' from others but as long as I keep my cleavage, belly button and knees at home, there's nothing wrong with it. No one gets heart attack or asthma, so far. Hehe

Even if I were a patient, I'd choose a dentist who wears a tuck in shirt with a pencil skirt/trousers and a pair of heels(fully covered, I know!). How about you?

clinic sessions

I love saturdays and sundays. I'm exhausted throughout the weekdays with classes, clinic sessions and traffic congestion. Pfft too many cars on the road nowadays.

Clinic sessions for dental meterial & operative ended yesterday. I had 6 weeks of fun doing cavity preparation and filling restoration using different materials; amalgam, composit, GIC etc. After 6 weeks of practical, our skills were tested in competency exam. We were given a task on which site and what type of restoration to do within 3 hours. Luckily it was on lower teeth. Much easier compared to upper.

Endodontic and periodontics module starts next week. A whole lot of excitements await.

Here are some of pictures in UiTM lab during the competency exam.

during the exam

my happy face after the exam. It went well, alhamdulillah.

Dr Nik examined Afiq's cavity prep

our table of four

Me and jannah are annoyed of each others schedule. Whenever I'm free, she's in class and vice versa. And our phone conversation is getting shorter.

Jannah: hello mana?

Me: *whispering* clinic.

Jannah : bye.

Me: bye.hello? akjdhhfs

She hung up before I replied her 'bye'. What a true friend I have -.-"

clinic rules

Dont look at me like i'm an alien or some creature from Mars just because im the ONLY girl who doesn't wear hijab/scarf. This is some weird scene in my faculty. I'm used to be surrounded with 'free hair' girls all this while.

I just love my hair that I hate to tie them up. Be it in bun or pony tail or any style. But at least i obey the clinic rules. My hair is neatly in place when I'm doing my work. I tie them up. Sometimes I use head band. If lectures and other staffs dont mind, so who do you wanna make a big fuss out of it. Maybe u're jealous or you have some problem with free hair girls and you just have to let it out, otherwise you can go mental.

p/s: Sorry, i just have to let it out, otherwise I can go mental :p
