New Camera

Hi guys,

short post.

Yo girl right here just bought herself a new camera.

Fujifilm x-a3.



I wanted it in pink but they only have it in black and brown. So, brown it is.
it's pretty. and I felt a little weird with it. for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I am no tech savvy but I know this is an old one. 
first released in Nov 2016.

but who caressss!!

i finally bought it!!



Why I decided to buy this? Because I want back-up camera for my next travel adventure. wehwehweh

I mean, I have my old digicam (Sony Cybershort) as a back up before. It still works and I have no problem with the quality. 

I just want a new camera and I have no other excuse. LOL

I've tried playing with it a little, trying to get the hang of it but I'm still blur (both my brain and the photo taken). I just have to give it more practice, I guess.

I also bought this tripod.



it's called KingKong Selfie Stick.

I didn't expect the boxing will be so fancy. velvety. it also comes with the fisheye/wide lenses. I only bought it because it has that mini tripod thingy besides the selfie stick. it also has a remote. like, yassssss. it's components are mostly metal so it's a little heavy but I guess it's sturdy? I have not tried putting my phone on it yet.

I'm gonna make it work. Solo travel here I come!! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

I wanna thank CupOf TJ  (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ for this idea of buying a tripod/selfie stick.



of course, it's not Joby Tripod. but one step at a time. ᵔᴥᵔ

Ok, enough sharing.

short post tah apa LOL.

Ok, bai.

for the living

hi guys.

Selamat Berpuasa to my muslim friends. 



Today is already the 7th day. Time flies so fast.

as tradition dictates, I had my second 1L cup milk tea from Easyway. 



and I'm sure I'm gonna have a couple more before Puasa month is over. Since this cup only available during Puasa. (*˘︶˘*)

another common thing during Puasa is Bertahlil (prayer for the one already passed away) and Menyungkaikan (breaking of fast with other people at your house) functions.
No, I have not been to one yet. There will be one function next week tho.

I should also point out that puasa is the month when the one who left before us will come and visit. (Imagine the movie Coco, but instead of worldly gifts, they left when we sedekah prayer to them and they continue doing that for the whole month of Ramadhan). this thought alone makes me a little more emotional than usual. ⊙︿⊙

You know how when someone passed away and there'd be a lot of people come by their home or to their final resting place to pay respect? I've always wondered; did we come or go there becoz we wanna say goodbye to the deceased or to give support to the one left behind?

My sister's bestfriend's mother passed away on 30th April 2019. and I found out from the bestfriend's sister's IG. of course, I felt sorry for their lost. but also I remember thinking, "Not that I know the mom well, but I should go for the betahlil for these two sisters", you know, for moral support. and i did go to the betahlil that night and I finally understand what Dumbledore meant when he said to Harry, "Do not pity the dead, pity the living".
Because the one left behind still need to continue living. and I understand now, why we need to visit them often for the first 40 days. for moral and emotional support.

with that I conclude, at least for me, I come for the one left behind. Because losing someone is not something you can get over with, you just learn to live with it, and we wanna be there for them, to show them, their life is still worth living for, we wanna help them want to continue living.

I'm not saying we should only be extra supportive during Puasa month, I'm saying, be there for the living. whenever. They appreciate it when we come and pray together with them as a form of support. Our small gesture of kindness counts.

That's it. be kind. 
in any way, shape or form.
for the living. 

. . .

Side Note: as I was putting the labels, I found out, I've used that Dumbledore quote once before. LOL. I need new quote. but that doesn't make that quote any less true. (◕‿-)

Wonderful Life



Take a look around and see the world we think we know
Then look closer
There's more to life than meets the eye
A beauty to behold
It's all much bigger than we know
It's only just beginning to unfold
So let it all unfold

Far beyond all reason in your mind
There's a world mysterious
There for you to find
All these questions
That we always have
All we are is curious
There's nothing wrong with that
So go 'round every corner
Search every part of the sky
'Cause a life that's full of wonder
Is a wonderful life

Dig beneath the surface
Find the lessons there to learn
And then dig deeper
Feed your intuition
Don't leave any stone unturned
Be the seeker of the truth
Listen when you hear it calling you
You know it's calling you

Far beyond all reason in your mind
There's a world mysterious
There for you to find
All these questions that we always have
All we are is curious
There's nothing wrong with that
So go 'round every corner
Search every part of the sky
'Cause a life that's full of wonder

Is a wonderful life
Is a wonderful life
Is a wonderful life
Is a wonderful life

And the answers aren't that far away

Look closer
Look closer
Look closer
Look closer

Not Sponsored

Hi guys.

I thought, from the previous post, I should give a shout out to this mini shop I come across in Instagram.

It is called Hoppop.id

Being the avid watcher of my explore page, I came across this post.



I fell in love with the chicken bucket at first sight. LOL

and I fell in love with the design/idea behind the art! When i first check her account, she mostly made Onew's, which made me so happy!
I don't know about you but for some reason it was hard for me to find Onew's fanmade goodies anywhere! I mean goodies that I want to purchase anyway. or can afford. ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃
That is why, when I saw her post, I ask how can i order straight away and was relief it was quite easy transaction. I mean, easy as in, not so much hassle. LOL I shall explain that anxiety ridden some other time.

After sleeping on it, I finally decided to blow up my wallet and ordered these!



it took about 2 weeks to arrive. 



but with one defected item: the phone case. I ordered for iphone6plus but the one yg arrived was for iphone6.

I was a tat bit disappointed and like I often do, I initially decided to just let it go. it was just a phone case. 
BUT it was one of the thing I really looking forward to having! and use!
So, I woman up and DM-ed the owner.

I informed her my items safely arrived and thank her for her hard work (aseh! so k-pop-ish text! LOL) "but," I began. and continued telling her about the phone case. 
and you know what? she was quite sweet about it. She apologized saying it must be some mixed up. She even asked if it's just not fitting with my phone or if it's for iphone6. 
I kinda made a face when she asked this but of course, she was just trying to do her job, and asked if I want a refund.
I made some more faces.
I told her I would love if she could resend a correct one instead?

I was actually scared that she would say 'no' or asked me to pay some more for shipping. But I come to my senses that as a customer, I think I have the right to ask her to send me the correct phone case.

Luckily for me, she's a good seller and she agreed to send me the correct phone case and not to worry about it.
Of course, I excessively thank her for her prompt respond.

Honestly, I was not worried. I was just sad that I couldn't use the phone case sooner.
LOL

but the correct phone case finally arrived! like, a month later. but what can you do. 



I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

She included a sticker set in the first shipment and also a pin button of Onew's Eyes On You. who doesn't like free gifts?! 
I especially love the bunny ears sticker she put on every box and bubble wrapper. So, Onew!

Since my purchased, she continued on doing some more fanmade items of the other members too. I planned on buying some more from her. not now. nanti lah.

So go check her IG out. see if there's anything you like. and if you do purchased something, tell her Vengeance sent you. LOL

Ok?

Ok.

He is not my Oppa

Hi guys.

this is scheduled so don't be alarmed.

I just remember something that happened to me at the office the other day (and since this is scheduled, this may happened like weeks ago)

We were in the midst of cleaning up our 'surroudings' and as I began to do mine, you know, putting down my handbags and extra carry bag on the floor, my colleague said to me, "bag oppa, Az?" she was referring to my carry bag. 



It took me a moment, looking back and fort from my bag to her before I replied, "Awu!" and laughed uneasily.

Uneasy not becoz I got caught. 
LOL I mean, that usually is the case: wanting to wear anything SHINee related or Harry Potter related but not wanting anybody noticing. I'm that I-am-a-fan-so-imma-wear-use-this-but-don't-tagur-please kinda fan.

but my uneasiness was caused by the thought that ...

it's Onew. 

and God knows he is not my oppa.

like, no.

내 동생이야

I malas to edit one more time, but he was born in 1989. and I was born in 1987.
do the math children.
He's my dongsaeng. Younger than me.


I mean we can all pretend that he is my oppa. but deep in my heart I know that he is not.

He is my future husband!



you see that coming from a mile away, didn't you?




Ok, atu saja.

bye.
