How I Overcome the Stress | Due to Movement Control Order (MCO) that being held started on 1st June until 14th June 2021. There are many consequences that affect the nation due to the high cases of Covid-19. Some of the factors that are affected are economic and career. These factor affect citizen heavily including me to feel stressed out about it. Can you imagine being held down at home and distancing yourself to make sure you are free from the Covid-19 virus. It takes a lot of thing in our mind to think about and make us so STRESS while on it. Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry or nervous.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, stress is a great worry caused by a difficult situation or something that causes certain condition.

As a lab assistant, I was ordered to work from home because we are not essential services. That decision takes a toll on me. You know why? I am feeling suffocated and keep overthinking when having a slight fever in cold temperature. So, I try to set my mind to be open-minded and positive by having fun in handling the stress away. This entry will tell more about how I overcome the stress. 

How to Overcome the Stress

Actually, there are many ways to overcome stress. But sometimes, it's up to the individual itself. There are things that some people love and there are also people that dislike them. For me, I am gonna list several ways that I do to overcome the stress.

Firstly, I like to listen to music. Sometimes, I am frustrated over something that I need a good hug or a sad melody let me cry it out. Yes, I cry over it. And in the meantime, the different melody in my playlist cheered me up such as Kpop, anime and dance song. So, by listening to music, I can overcome the stress by the end of the day. 

Furthermore, I love to reading and make a journal about it. I love to read about motivation to be more positive in life. I also love to jot down the most memorable quotes in the books. So, I have been trying to challenge myself for 30 days by reading and tell the readers what all the books about. It lets your mind wander to it.

Moreover, the next fantastic point here is loved by many teenagers nowadays. I like to spend my free time watching K-drama and anime. The funny scene makes you laugh while the happy scene makes you feel over the moon. When you watched it, you feel you are the main lead or any character you loved in every drama. Sometimes, the times flies too fast that you didn't focus on your problem anymore.

In addition, I also listen to the tazkirah podcast. As who I am now, I am still lacking in religious purposes. By upgrading the knowledge of Islam in myself, I can be more positive and open-minded towards people. I also can learn the purpose of life and why we need to realize that all problems that happened must have a reason. And its also have its own solutions. In sha Allah, we can find and solve problems slowly. So, everything happened because of a reason. And every problem has its own solutions. 

Finally, the ways to overcome the stress is through online games. I love to play games when I was bored or having nothing to do. The most categories that I loved to play os trivia word games. This kind of games challenges your mind to solve the problem given. It shows how big your knowledge is. I also love to play role-playing games (RPG) and simulation games. I used to play Laplace M RPG before the maintenance to keep playing it is high. So, online games overcome your stress by making you think and having more friends online. 

Plays.org

When talking about online games, there are many categories of games that we can find in mobile application or websites. One of the online games websites I found is Plays.org. Plays.org is an online games website that has over 100 games inside it. There are multiple categories that can be played under the website. 

Besides, Plays.org are expanding their online games by player request. If there is a game that you want the website to add up. You need to write it up in the comment box given. For example, I like to play trivia games so much. Can you add up more trivia games on the website. There are also games that reminisce my childhood memories. Why? This website has games that based on old-fashioned games that I used to play such as Zuma, Pacman, Tetris and many more.

What do I like the most is the Frogtastic game. This game is based on the Zuma game. I love the Zuma and Zuma Deluxe games so much, that I tried to find and download the game previously. I used to play this game when I was a kid. I always try to beat every level by getting higher scores. It also teaches us to concentrate on colours and speed. So, I am going to have fun with the Frogstatic game. You can also play multiple categories to cure your boredom on free time. Because that is what I do to release stress and have a fun day.

In order to cure your boredom or handling your stress, these several ways that I stated above might help you solve your stress slowly. By listening to music, reading and journaling, watching drama, listen to the tazkirah podcast, and playing online games can relax your mind from overthinking and stressed out.

These are the ways that I use to overcome the stress when having emotional tension. How about you guys? What is the best way to free up your mind and release your stress? Let me know in the comment below. Feel free to share your favourite therapy of stress. That's all for today. Thank you for reading,

Pengalaman Swab Test Covid-19 | Assalamualaikum sahabat sekalian. Hari ini Mya nak cerita pengalaman yang tak disangka berlaku pada bulan Mac yang lalu. Perkara ini berlaku tanpa kita duga sedangkan waktu kejadian Mya dan rakan sekerja hanya melakukan kerja bersama-sama. Sambil berborak seperti biasa. Keesokan hari Mya diberitahu bahawa salah seorang rakan kerja mengalami simptom muntah dan demam. Pada waktu itu, Mya dan rakan sekerja yang lain menganggap masalah kesihatan yang dialami adalah common.

Nak dijadikan cerita rakan yang mengalami simptom tersebut disahkan positive covid-19. Kami sangat-sangat terkejut dengan keputusan yang diterima. Kami mendoakan semoga dia cepat sembuh. Disebabkan itu, pejabat kesihatan daerah membuat senarai nama pekerja yang perlu diswab test. Yang paling terkejut sekali, Mya dimaklumkan oleh ketua pentadbir yang Mya adalah salah seorang kontak rapat pesakit. Mya mula risau dan berdebar-debar apabila dimaklumkan sedemikian. Selain itu, kami diberitahu untuk membuat swab test pada hari Jumaat pada pukul 10 pagi di Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Cheras. Perasaan Mya makin berdebar-debar dan perasaan takut menyelubungi diri. Kami semua tak sangka yang selama ini hanya dengar kes dari jauh. Bila berlaku depan mata, Ya Allah tuhan sahaja yang tahu.

Pada hari kejadian, kami rakan sekerja bercadang untuk pergi bersama-sama. Yelah, nak kurangkan rasa nervous dan sokongan dari rakan sekerja. Kami membuat swab test secara drive-thru bermula pukul 10 pagi. Dalam perasaan takut, nervous plus berdebar-debar boleh pula kejadian lucu berlaku pada geng pembantu makmal ini. Kita tak berapa dengar jelas waktu ketua pentadbir bagitahu kat mana, pukul berapa. Kitorang sesat plus salah tempat. Buat malu sahaja dengan jururawat dekat Klinik Kesihatan Cheras. Rupanya kena naik atas sikit baru jumpa PKD Cheras. Sementara tunggu pukul 10, kitorang duduk dalam kereta sambil jantung berdegup laju, nervous katakan.

Saat yang ditunggu hampir tiba, jantung Mya semakin tidak keruan. Sempat lagi google pengalaman orang lain bagi menghilangkan rasa takut di hati. Nama dipanggil saat nombor diberi. First swab ini Mya kena dekat hidung. Bagi Mya sedikit pedih dan gatal hidung macam tersumbat. Alhamdulillah lepas swab tu lega sikit hati walaupun kena pakai gelang pink. huhu. Mya kena sign agreement dan kuarantin di rumah selama 10 hari. So, bermulalah episod kuarantin di rumah.

Bukan di rumah tapi di dalam bilik. Waktu tu rasa bersalah dengan adik bongsu. Selalunya Mya yang masak makanan untuk dia. Ini terbalik pula dia yang belikan makanan untuk Mya. Dia lah yang jaga makan dan minum Mya sepanjang kuarantin. Mya terperuk sahaja dalam bilik menghadap telefon dan lain-lain. Terlalu bosan dan stress. Sambil menunggu panggilan telefon daripada PKD Cheras mengenai keputusan swab test. Kami dimaklumkan keputusan diberitahu melalui aplikasi MySejahtera. Alhamdulillah syukur sangat-sangat dengan keputusan negative bagi swab test yang pertama. Setelah itu, Mya menunggu panggilan seterusnya untuk swab test kali kedua.

Mya dan kontak rapat yang lain perlu hadir untuk second swab test pada hari Khamis berikutnya. Kali ini masih sama drive-thru swab test cuma di bahagian tekak. Rasa nak termuntah pun ada. Dia jolok sampai ke anak tekak. Berdoa semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan. Kemudian, kami pulang. Menanti keputusan second swab test pula.

Alhamdulillah sekali lagi keputusan akhir swab test adalah negative. Syukur sangat-sangat. Tinggal satu hari lagi untuk potong gelang pink. Mya membawa diri dan surat agreement semasa sesi pemotongan gelang. Pada 20 Mac 2021, Mya dapat melakukan rutin harian seperti biasa.

Banyak pengajaran yang Mya dapat sepanjang perkara ini berlaku ke atas diri sendiri. Jagalah diri sendiri supaya dapat lindungi keluarga tersayang. Sentiasa patuh arahan dan SOP yang dijalankan. Yang paling penting, sentiasa beribadah kepada Allah supaya musibah Covid-19 hapus dari muka bumi ini. Jangan disangka air yang tenang, tiada buaya. Kita tak jangka benda yang berlaku pada orang, rupa-rupanya kita pun terkena. Selagi boleh jaga diri dan patuh SOP, kita jaga sebaik mungkin. Mya doakan semoga kita semua sihat selalu dan dijauhkan dari covid-19.

p/s: Mya minta maaf sangat atas ketiadaan sebarang gambar berkaitan swab test. Atas faktor kerja, everything is private and confidential. Terima kasih. <3

Monthly Goals 2021 | Many things happened in the past month, from March to April. Something surprising and something I am grateful for it. Yes, I admit that I have left this blog unattended. I have trouble managing my time lately. And most of my time on work and drama in my free time. I do have some ideas to create as an entry. But it got stuck when I tried to put it as a draft. So, based on ideas that I have looked for on the Pinterest app is monthly goals.

I choose monthly goals ideas because I want to focus on my short term goals. I do have a lot of goals and dreams to accomplish. However, I want to focus on these five goals for this year. There are many reasons that each goal hide and I want to achieve it slowly day by day. I know I still struggle to start it right now due to a lack of self-discipline. But I want to show to my own that I can do it. I can accomplish it.

The first goal that I am trying right now is a healthy lifestyle habit. I have tried many supplements and items that I  think I believe can lose some weight. Why lose weight? Since my body weight is not ideal, I am having trouble with my knee and my stamina. There are 4 types of body shape that I learned is hourglass-shaped, rectangle-shaped, pear-shaped and apple-shaped. I belong to the pear-shaped category. Pear-shaped is where most of the body fat in between the stomach, the hip and the thighs. Because of that body fat at my body, my smaller knee and calf cannot accommodate my weight. I always got knee pain after a long walk or a simple workout.

Due to the reasons for the first goal, I take an oath to lose weight 5 to 10kg as my second goal. Before I tell more about what I have done to accomplish this first two goals. I want to be honest about my weight since the first month of 2021. Like I told you guys before in Preparation for Weight Loss Journey entry. I eat a lot since I attend every banquet or feast that being held at school. So, my started weight for the year 2021 is 82kg. My ideal weight to get my body mass index (BMI) normal is 65kg. I have decided to join a weight loss program in February.

In this program, I learned calorie deficit, magic hands and more knowledge about our body. We are provided with a meal plan schedule and nutrition kit. As a starter, it might be difficult to control your craving suddenly. But I never regret joining this program because I have fun eating 5 meals per day with a group support. The menu is very delicious and good for your body. The result after the program are very satisfying. From 82kg in January. My current weight after consuming the nutrition and correct food portion is 74kg. I am so grateful for it. And I still in the program to reshape my body for healthy purposes. So, I hope I can achieve these two goals before 2021 ends.

Let's continue to the next goal. I want to be more organized person. I am not a messy person but sometimes I make things messed up. Let's say my room is a bit messy, so I clean it up and make it tidy. After a few days, my room is messy again with boxes, books and stationeries. So, I decided to do some makeover to my bedroom. I want it to be more organized and tidy especially with the small stuff. 

My makeover plan will be started after having a desk, a chair and a bookshelf. My room is not quite small and not quite big. Right now, I have a queen bed, two cupboards and a bookshelf. One cupboard filled with my mom items such as a comforter and luggage. One side of it is filled with my clothes. Another cupboard  filled with my dress and baju kurung plus full of boxes. Boxes again? Yup, boxes. A bookshelf is full of books of course in the first and last shelf. My cosmetic products in the second shelf and Nurraysa stock on the third shelf. I want to separate my Nurraysa stock to another new bookshelf so I can put my AWB printer, parcels and stickers in it. 

Then, I want to buy a desk and a chair to make up my fourth goal, a mini home office. As an online seller and a part-time blogger, I prefer to do my work on a desk rather than a bed. <--- Of course, I fall asleep after that. I want to put my laptop and its accessories on a desk, so I can do the typing right away. I don't have to set up a table anymore and sitting on the floor like right now until my back is pain. I also can produce more ideas for my blog and make a draft right away. When having a comfortable position to do work or blog post, our mind is in a good state to think and create a better entry. Besides, I want to put all my stationary on the desk, so I can jot down important things on paper. For making these goals coming true. I, Mardhiyyah will try my best in work and try to make my last goal main sources to make other goals a success.

What is the last goal? The goal that people like me having a problem achieving. What it is? Savings money. For now, I start to aim for small amounts of money to be saved so I can accomplish my other goals. My minimum target for this year is RM1000. Why? You know I always said to others that I am not kaki shopping. I don't like to shop for a quite long time. I always take 30 minutes to an hour to buy groceries. However, since I got addicted to online shopping  2 years ago. *long sigh* I have spent a lot on wanted and miscellaneous items. And yeah. I regret it after making a long calculation. Huhu. What a waste.

Then, I start to make a change slowly by separating accounts for personal, business and savings. And promise myself don't touch any money in business and savings account for my own good. For my future. It started with a positive mindset and my BIG WHY to achieve it. I know sometimes, when you are in a desperate moment you don't want to ask for help from parents or siblings. You want to use your own money. Because it is for you. You want to be independent. You are the one that wants to help people. To help people in need. Because you've been there. So, these five goals that I want to commit to this whole year. A healthy lifestyle habit, loss of weight, be organized, a mini home office and savings RM 1K is a starter in achieving my dreams.

I hope every step that I take give me a positive reason to make up for the future. I know I am still at the beginner level. But I want to take the action NOW! I don't want to regret it later. So, wish me luck in succeeding in these monthly goals. I hope your goals and dreams are being accomplished day by day. Thank you so much for reading.

Wishing for Staycation at Singapore | Hi Assalamualaikum. Today I would like to talk about staycation. Most of us must be missing traveling right. Because of the situation we had nowadays, we are restricted from traveling and have to postpone whatever plan we have. As of right now, we can’t go anywhere. Stuck within our district and cannot cross between states. How I envy our neighbouring country, Singapore. They can travel within their country and here I want to give a suggestion to our neighbour, Singaporean to relax and have fun holidays by having staycation in their own country.

What is a staycation? According to Oxford Languages, staycation is a holiday spent in one’s home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. What are the benefits of staycation? There are many benefits of staycation such as time saving and easy on the wallet, no planning required, more quality time with loved ones and rediscovering your own city. What I mean by time saving and easy on the wallet is we can save our time and cost more than we do a vacation. We spend a lot of money on flight tickets, transportation and accommodation especially when we travel abroad that takes hours to arrive. 

Staycation will make you an expert in your own country. You can decide either to stay in your house and make a lot of memorable activities together with your family. Or find an affordable accommodation to spend your time with your loved ones. You can do a lot of activities with your family at your favourite place. I guess everyone has a signature place where you and your family love to spend time together. Because I do. My father always brings us to a family restaurant to have lunch or dinner when we have free time. It feels great because we can bond our relationships deeper. But if your favourite activities are bringing your families to vacation or staying in a proper accommodation, Just pick a hotel near your favourite place and there you go. Hehe.

I know a few famous landmarks in Singapore. One of the popular landmarks is Merlion Park. One of the benefits of staycation is we can rediscover our country and learn about the history of landmarks itself. So, Merlion is a mythical creature that’s half fish and half lion. The Merlion combines two elements of Singapore’s identity. Its body symbolises the fishing villages of Singapore’s past. While its lion head is a symbol of Singapura. It's become one of the attractions for tourists to come by at Merlion Park.

Singapore is also famous for its physical attraction themed park, Universal Studio Singapore (USS). There are 24 attractions in this park that consists of 7 different themed zones. Each one of the themed zones has its own unique features that attracts people from different ages including me. The seven themed zones are Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar. Because I am a fan of cartoons and anime, I will choose Far Far Away. I live my childhood memories by watching Shrek and their friends. I also love seeing Madagascar, unfortunately this themed zone will be closed. But you guys don’t have to worry because there is more additional themed zone that will be replacing Madagascar. You want to know? Ba na na, Bananana. It’s a Minion (2021) and Super Nintendo World (2025). 

If you are planning to come and have fun at Universal Studio Singapore, I suggest checking out Hotel 81 Dickson. Hotel 81 Dickson is near to Universal Studio Singapore with a lot of facilities including public transportation, MRT. This hotel serves a 24 hour front desk and security. Besides, you can find a supermarket, salon, ATM, gift shops and laundry in the hotel. You also can express check-in and check-out if you are in a hurry. This hotel is a disabled access friendly and has free WIFI. There is also accessible halal food and mosque for Muslim people nearby. There are two rooms provided in here; Standard Double and Superior Double. 

I hope you guys in Singapore are having a great and wonderful staycation. Take a lot of pictures and make it a memorable one. Wish me to arrive in Singapore soon. So, lots of LOVE. Have fun.

PREPARATION FOR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY | Hi, Assalamualaikum. Like I promise yesterday, I am going to continue the preparation for weight loss. Where are we? Last year was a difficult year for all of us. Pandemic Covid-19 hit us badly. So, I am going to tell you what happened to my journey from the beginning of January. In the beginning, I didn't focus on any exercise due to family reasons. After that, I slowly learned how to control my food intake. I started to learn control food portion by using a quarter, a quarter and half diet. I will tell more about this kind of diet later. By the way, I am not consistent in this food control. Still struggling.

I can control the food portion when I am working. But when I got home, the effort becomes worthless. Especially when you are cooking for your siblings. Actually, I do not remember much about what happened in 2020. Because that year-end too fast like nothing was accomplished. Still, I did a few events together with seniors and same batch colleague. I did a food event with my seniors at Seoul Garden, Putrajaya in the middle of February. And my final program, Program Transformasi Minda at the end of February. 

The main reason that I want to lose weight is someone saying that I look like a pregnant woman. That really offended me so much. That I felt, how could she be? You don't know how I struggle to hide my belly fat. I know I look fat here in this tummy but she doesn't have to say that. From that moment, I have tried exercising, buying shapewear and even try to take supplements. I am stressing out because of it. It sucks. 

But when I really try to support myself in doing this kind of journey. People around me that have been together for all of those years mocked my efforts. It's not easy to shut people out of your mind especially when someone that close to you. So, I started again to do beginner workout and control my food intake. Yeah, there is a progress that my weight is losing a bit. Until our country was hit by pandemic Covid-19 in March 2020. 

On that middle of March, our country decides to do a Movement Control Order to prevent the pandemic cases increasing. For the first week, I still maintained the workout routine every day until laziness overwhelmed me. Living in MCO with your parents make you eat a lot. Especially when my mother makes my favourite Sambal Sotong and Ayam Masak Merah. I missed her food right now. So, my weight journey stuck until Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) on May 2020.

I was told by my boss to start work on the first day of CMCO. But due to the decrease in the probability of cases. We as the high school staff need to take turns started on 4th May. From that moment I start to read tips in controlling food portion again. And doing basic workout such as squats 20 times every day. Yes, I admitted once you are gaining, it's hard to lose. 

After that, a lot of things happened. I can eat rice accordingly to the food portion. But I have trouble to swallow green veggies especially spinach and mustard greens. The half portion of veggies is unacceptable for me. The only veggies I love to eat is carrot, tomato, capsicum, cabbage and cauliflower. Quite a picky eater on veggies. Besides, I more prefer to eat berries, banana, watermelon, honeydew and other fruits. For the protein, I really like chicken more than fish. I am trying to eat chicken breast as a staple food. 

There are many factors that I really want to lose some weight. Because of my health issues, my bones can't accommodate any more. I got a knee problem and backache. Besides, my skin also affected when I eat many sweet things and dairy foods. So, I need to start taking care of my food right now. And drinks a lot of plain water.

So, I am making scheduled again for my weight loss journey in 2021. I hope everything going smooth. No more sweet food except on cheat day. I want to be healthy and free-disease. Normal BMI here I come. I will tell it more about the progress later. That's all.

Thank you for reading. 

A GRATEFUL MOMENT IN MY LIFE | Hi, Assalamualaikum. In everyday life, we have various moments that are meant to keep or to throw it away. We go through all of the moments since we were born to this world. There are many emotions that we can express for the whole life that we have been lived such as happiness, sadness, madness, grateful, hates, loves and many more. So, today I am so grateful to be born in this world.

Thank you to the Almighty, Allah for giving me a life to perform the duties and learn to love myself better. I am grateful for every rezeki that I get from Allah. I know that Allah gives me this life test to make me always remember Him. Not just that, Allah forgive us for every sin we do by repentance. But it doesn't mean we can do it just for fun. Ya Allah, on this beautiful day I beg you to instil some courage in myself to become a better solehah person. I want to become a better person, especially when doing the compulsory duties. Aamin.

Furthermore, I want to say thank you to both of my parents for bringing me up for 28 years with full of love. They bear to my stubborn and childish character until today. I am very grateful for having my mother and my father as my parents. They taught me everything they could. They tried their best to make sure that I am going to be a good person. Even though I am not. Still trying to be a better person. They give me a lot of love since I was a baby. Not just that, they even give me motivation when I was depressed due to my study.  They always support my back when I fall down. So, I love my parents so much. Saranghae <3

Today date is a memorable event for me. I reported myself on my current job on 15th January 2019. It was my good memory, not just because I got a job. But it also a day I am getting to a good environment of the workplace. Through this current job, I learn many hardships that I struggled a bit. The thing is I start to create this entry because today is my birthday. Happy Birthday, Mardhiyyah Rosli. I pray to be a better person with positive thinking. I want to correct my mistakes in the past by doing better in the present. I hope no more negatives vibes surround me because it hurts. I want to be free and be more productive for myself. So, I love myself so much that I am going to focus on me from this moment. That's all.

Just a reminder. Every year our age turns old, but we can make our life feeling new.  By thinking positive and love yourself first. After that, you can start to commit love for other people. Just be yourself and you good to go.

Thank you for reading.

PREPARATION FOR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY | Hi, Assalamualaikum. We meet again. I want to talk about a little bit of introduction on why I want to lose some weight. Actually, after a long of hiatus and a temporary lockdown that happened to Malaysia started March 2020. A lot of things changed including my weight. People always labelled me as someone that will never gain weight even though I ate a lot of food. Besides, maybe my physical appearance didn't show that I am gaining a few kilograms after eating. I love to eat chickens and sweet things especially chocolates. But that was when I was still a teenager. Where body metabolism still higher. 

I started gaining weight after I have a job. When you learn that you have money to buy foods that you love so much. Not just that, your company always make food banquet every time we had celebrations. But at the same time, I didn't feel the difference in weight because of my job scope as a sales assistant. An assistant that going around in the kids' department. I have to handle many stocks and treats customer that come by. So, the body process balances because of my active movements. That's before I got an offer letter to work in a government. 

Now, I have worked in high school as a lab assistant for 2 years already. Many unexpected things happened here. When I was reported myself in the first year of 2019, the teachers are kind and friendly especially when inviting you to a food banquet. I can't count how many times these school teachers hold food banquets. The banquets that been hold was supposed to celebrate occasions such as Teachers Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Farewell Event and for fun. 

But even worse, my weight starts to gain drastically every time school holidays appear. Why? To save the costs of spending money on outside foods. My seniors have decided to cooks at schools. Cooks homemade food. How I missed my mom badly when eating homemade foods. They have planned the menu for every day of the school holidays. But if the menu got hold because of certain issues. They will put the menu list in the cart like a shopping cart. Many foods still on the queue until now. So, I try to put on my little old clothes. Oh nooo. I can't fit in anymore. Long sigh.

Because of that, I started to find a way to lose some weight. At least to get normal BMI. I bought a yoga mat, a set of the resistance band, workout gloves and a digital weighing scales. Moreover, I subscribed a healthy fitness application on the iPad to give me motivations in losing weight. Hahaha. However, I am a lone ranger. Where my motivation easily comes and go. By the end of 2019, I list my resolutions that I want to commit in 2020. I have the list of resolutions right here. So, what happened in the year 2020? I'll continue this story in the next part.

Thank you for reading. <3

TWENTY-TWENTYONE RESOLUTIONS | Hi. Assalamualaikum. Long time no see. Since the last post, I got a little busy with work. And struggling to manage time correctly with the situations that our country is facing currently. Due to other factors also, I am trying my best in this new year to up my personal skills including be positive and confident in front of people. I have struggled with this kind of problems since I was a kid. I always try to avoid the presentation task by doing the paperwork. So, this personal skill has become one of my resolutions.

I am trying to find a better way to express myself in POSITIVE thinking. I don't want to stay in NEGATIVE overthinking like before. I try a lot of things to be more productive including journaling. My passion for writing something even on a piece of paper is like curing my boredom. I love to spend myself on writing even though for daily gratitude. I try to collect and reading what types of the journal that I can create for myself. To create these journals, I bought many stationery supplies from Shopee and Tesco. Some of the stationery supplies that I used the most is Faber Castell Click X5 Blue/Black Pen, Coloured Gel Pen, Staedtler Fineliner Pen, Highlighter, Dual Brush Colour Pen and several notebooks.

These notebooks kept my things such as yearly planner, finances, work, household chores, weight loss journey and the important one; agama class. To be more productive and changing to a new person with a better personality. This was the first step to success.

Furthermore, I  have decided to control my food intake and do a little bit of workout seriously. Why? I admitted that I ate a lot this few years by attending many banquets held in school. My weight is gained and my BMI is a little distracted. So, to make it back to the right way. I am correcting my daily routine by adding up workout time and food taken accordingly. Besides, I am going to record my weight loss journey in here Lovely Sunshine to remind me how struggling it is to lose weight. The challenge to lose weight start now. Fighting!

Alhamdulillah. I have passed my job trial when I received my confirmation letter in September 2020. I am officially a government worker as a lab assistant in a high school. This year will have a job rotation between lab assistant to feel the different environment in every form level. As everyone knows, Kuala Lumpur is one of the states that are announced as MCO states. I have been notified by my boss to work from home until 20th January 2021. After that, I am going to work by taking turns to help another lab assistant that handling Form 5 students. So, wish me for the best in work.

There is one more additional resolution to my unaccomplished resolves. I started to involved in business side income after the end of my studies. I started as a dropship of Nurraysa since July 2017. The journey is upside down. The sales of the product are unexpected. Sometimes, you got a buyer. Sometimes, you just need to push an effort more to attract customers. There is an accomplishment in my sales last year due to MCO and HQ Promotional Item. I decided to upgrade my rank from dropship to an agent. Yes. The struggling in business is real. From the moment, I upgraded myself. I give the oath to try my best in business. It failed though. Because I have spent too many to support myself. I get back and try to go slowly no rush in business. There is an improvement in my sales. But still, need to give more effort in it. So, this year is the year that I am going to manage my time in helping myself and others out there.

Lastly, the resolution that I am going to commit this year 2021 is Lovely Sunshine. Its really hard to balance your time with the blog, side income and your main work. Not just that, my unstable emotion these days make it worse. Yeah, personal is hard to keep it in and its affect your surroundings a lot. Last year is my downfall that I am struggling to keep. I still love this blog and love to write like before. The best part is I got my laptop back. I hope this laptop can keep me consistent in writing more posts in the future. For now, I am going to concentrate on healthy and beauty niche because I am trying to heal my skincare problem. But still Lovely Sunshine is a lifestyle blog. So, that's all the 2021 resolutions that I want and will commit to change myself to a better person.

Thank you so much for reading this post. <3
