30th September 2018

It's late and I am going for a picnic tomorrow! Will be cooking too so I should be sleeping but huhuhu I will risk it!

Today my Pak Ngah passed away but I am at home because Ariff is having his PT3 on Monday and my parents are unsure whether they can make it before Monday.

Growing up, I saw my Pak Ngah a lot. He took some wrong turns in his life, costing him a lot, including his own son but he braved through it all, turning over a new leaf before he passed away. I'm not God so I don't know where will he end up but he went from the son who would shout at my grandmother on Raya morning to my grandmother's favorite. He was with here all the time at the end of his life and that is definitely a nice chapter to end your book at. As for my grandmother, I hope she will be strong enough to face this.

Now I am at a weird point in my life. It feels like I have things under control but at the same time, I think I feel like I don't. I also don't contribute anything to the society so if I die nothing will change, but it will also be a sad death, considering how useless I am to the world. I don't know. Maybe one day I'll find my calling, or maybe I don't. I just hope I'll end up somewhere nice and that I have nice stories that people will tell about me.

Other than the morbid thought haha, I also find myself missing a lost friend. To be honest, I am not sure how we ended up like this, and I am also not sure what are we. Are we pretending to be strangers? Are we still friends? Was I the only one who is hung up over the lost of this friendship? Was there nothing to even begin with? I mean, I do think too deeply about things at times, maybe we weren't even friends and I was just feeling it haha. But if we were friends before, was I super useless that I don't even deserve a single "Hi" or a birthday wish?

But I am just probably victimizing myself. If you're reading this, just take it with a pinch of salt. Haha is that even the right saying? The bottom line is, I just miss my friend, but not enough to ask them "apa khabar" haha.

I should go to sleep. Bye!

"He told you that he has a Robin in his life?" "No, he posted it online" "Sorry girl, but bad news, you gotta give up on this one." "But, he's perfect. And I don't give want to give up on him" "If he ends up with you, he will always have someone else on his mind. What if his Robin wants to get back with him? You think he is going to stay for you?" "I don't know. Maybe I could change his mind" "Do you know the girl?" "Yes" "When did he break up with her?" "Years ago...." "Just move on, don't hurt yourself" "But then he's going to be my Robin" "Maybe he wont. Maybe he will"

KAMIZINE

These four months have been very very good to me. I really have to thank Allah for the rezeki that He is giving me, even though I have a long way to go before I can be considered a good Muslim. I quit my old job and I am finally doing what I love, writing and handling business. I have been freelancing for 4 months now and I have written so many things and it's really have been fun. I am also in charge of two social media accounts (four if you count in my own account and my business account!) which is quite a handful for me. But I get to decide my own work hours so that's cool. I am also a self-proclaimed publisher now. Tiq and I were talking about making our own zine and building a platform where contributors will get paid for their work and we decided right there and then to start our own zine. It was so sudden but we're doing fine, we even joined an event the other day to start selling our zine. We are still very small but we're very proud of what we've achieved...

Fiction: Amak's story

Testing 1,2,3, testing. Hello. Hi. Hi to all 23 of you. Thank you for coming here to be with me to send Amak to her next journey in life. Or afterlife. I don't know. I'm not sure how this works.  When I asked the person in charge on what should I put in my speech, he told me that I should insert some prayers and a few anecdotes of Amak. And that is what I shall do. You see, Amak lived all her lives with people spreading rumors about her, but instead of correcting them, she ignored everything and continued living her life her own way. And that what makes her special. Amak is my mother. She did not carry me in her womb for 9 months, she did not stay awake at night during the early years of my life like all mother's do. But she saved me and gave life to me when I almost died 15 years ago. After living for 15 years with her, there are a few of my favorite memories of her that I would like to share with you. My first favorite memory is when the first time I saw Amak...
