The Sound

By The 1975

Hey hey!

Have you ever been in a situation where your level of boredom and frustrations are out of this world that you've decided to bake baklava cos' it's oh so yummy? Me neither.



As I'm currently on my soul searching/cleansing/wasting money that I don't have activity, I've brought myself to the famous land of Sydney. It was quite a warm, lovely weather, unlike Canberra. (Which I went last month and was freezing my ass off!)

Me with my 'tourist pose'

I went to the Sydney Opera House and walked along the Sydney Harbour. It was breathtaking! Took me about 15 to 20 minutes walk from Darling Harbour but it was worth it. Reward myself with a nice Salty Caramel Milkshakes from Guylian.

Happy face around seafood delights.

Sydney Fish market is a must go place! Went there for breakfast and had my very first fresh out from the sea seafood! Below is exhibit A.

Look at that monstrosity!!



Ended my day with a quick dip at Bondi Beach. Saw my 1st topless bikini girl there. Very interesting. Ahaha!


Have a wonderful day y'all! Xoxo

Lay It All to Me

Let's talk about mental health. For some, the topic seems like a waste of time. Because in our society, mental illness associates with craziness. People would always have general(ignorant) things to say about it. When you say Tanjung Rambutan asylum, people would think that's a place where people are capable of going amok and terrorize the whole neighborhood one day. When someone kill themselves or attempt suicide, others would say "Small thing only, want to make drama issit?"

Do you know that about 10% of Malaysian suffers from mental illness? I'm no doctor but that's quite a number. And yet, no one wants to talk about it simply because its taboo. And no parent wants their sons or daughters to be associated with this type of people. But, what type of people are they? They go to the supermarket to get their groceries like everyone else, they watch that reality shows every weekend, they like to hangout at the bookstore to find that new book you read on Oprah's book club and so on. The difference are, they have to fight their way through everything.

Due to this misconceptions, those who are suffering chose to cover their dark shadows either by wearing a mask everyday or isolate themselves with the world. It's quite sad really as they're desperate to live their life peacefully. They don't want to be judged as weak or crazy. They don't want to be treated differently like they're some sort of an alien from outer space. Encourage them but don't criticize.

Unfortunately, we have a long way to go to change people's perceptions on mental illness. Different from other countries, they would advertise places(publicly, on national television) to help with depression, anxiety and even classes for people who would like to understand mental illness. But, a lot of people I've met would say that this is just a white-person's-propagandas illness. In other words, there's no such thing.

Love Me

By The 1975  
With a new look(and hopefully good attitude) I've decide to go back to square one. Both my life and this blog are going through quite a transition to a different, unknown, horrifying angle. Yes, it might sound foolish and irrational however, I've decided that it's time to put the past behind and move forward. When I started this blog, my intentions were out of the place. I wanted to write for myself, write to inspire and unfortunately, write to get enough attention hoping someone would drop a comment. It seems that times have changed and people are more drawn to specific topics like politics, weddings and even cats! Not that I don't like cats but you get the point. So I've decided to focus on the specifics and hopefully able to stick to my plan. New stories every week, Insyallah.    Love, aisyah x

Patterns

by Merriment

How strange life could be sometimes. How little things that you've appreciated would start appreciating you back! However, I do sometimes feel the need to hold myself back. To not let myself devour on the sweetness of temporary things. But is it temporary? Imagine if you've been wanting to fly your whole life. You've been waiting for that one moment to have that courage and own yourself a pair of wings. When you've been given that pair of wings, you try it out, and off you go! You'll feel like you have been reborn, rejuvenated.



But the moment you land, you start to worry.

What if this pair of wings doesn't want to fly anymore? What if my body grows bigger, and my beautiful wings won't be able to carry me? What if...

Regardless, that feeling of being able to fly, be free - makes you believe that its OKAY. That there is a possibility of getting abandoned by your own wings, but there is also a possibility that it'll stay with you forever. It'll eventually become a part of you when you least expected. And when that happens, are you still going to think it's gonna be temporary?

Nobody knows how to predict the future, but it is best to let it be a mystery. And that, is the best feeling a human being could ever experience. From my point of view at least.

Wings

Love is a wonderful thing. Love creates a bond between two people and connects them in a lot of ways. With this connection, humans unintentionally would share every bits and pieces of themselves with their significant other, and vise versa. To those who are no so lucky, they would intentionally create some sort of distraction just to survive. Well, no one wants to be lonely at the end of the day. Some has the guts to climb onto an unknown territory known as dating.

But how do you know whether its worth it for you to take the next step with that person? What happens if you have all of this time and expectations, only to find that it won't turn up the way that you've always wanted?

I shall run to my pillow fort now!

Falling Slowly

The 1st thing I did when I welcomed my birthday was listen to Four Non Blondes - What's Up. So, below are the list of things that I wanna do before welcoming my next birthday.

- Revisit places that I've been before, with a new perspective
- Learn to love myself up until I'm ready to share it with someone
- Be more optimistic




Love,
