Hi everyone.
I'm kinda bored tonight and I just found this 30-day blog challenge list. I've been thinking of doing this challenge but make it ONE so that I don't have to waste any of my pages just to answer a question each day that would probably just get 2 to 3 lines of answer from me haha.
*just pretend that I'm doing an interview right now.
1. YOUR FAVORITE SONG
All-time fav: Drowning by Backstreet Boys
2. YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE
I have a LOT, you know. And I could watch any genre. But the movie that comes up into my mind right after I read this question is The Devil Wears Prada.
3. YOUR IDEA OF THE PERFECT FIRST DATE
I don't even know how it feels to have a date with someone but I ASSUME it would be perfect for a first date if we (we? who the heck is the other person might be??) could go backpacking.
Riding the sleeper night train, go to the flea market, watching the cultural festival shows, walking at the beach during sunset, take a ferry ride, playing cards or board games with other backpackers, and doing outdoor activities.
Listing this backpacking itinerary suddenly makes me yearning for my non-existent partner now :')
4. YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH OF YOUR BEST FRIEND
Definitely, all from this folder.
I named it as 'emergency' because I have too many friends. So, when it comes to their birthday, I can just go straight away to this folder and choose any of their 'cute' pictures to be exposed as well as the birthday wish captions.
5. WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE?
My heartless face.
6. A SONG TO MATCH YOUR MOOD
Shirushi by LiSA
7. A PHOTO OF AN ANIMAL YOU'D LOVE TO KEEP AS A PET

8. YOUR DREAM WEDDING
An outdoor wedding with a garden view. And nice weather of course.
9. A PHOTO OF THE ITEM YOU LAST PURCHASED
It's a book from publisher FIXI that I'm still struggling to complete reading since last month. Forever a procrastinate queen haha.
The short stories in this 2020 anthology that I've read so far so good, especially the 'Hang Terbang'. Each of the 20 Malaysian writers has created a futuristic anthology about this talismanic year of 2020 that's surely fun to read.
Review coming up soon. After I finish it.
10. A PHOTO OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT
It's my home. But sorry, no pictures lol.
11. A PICTURE OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY
I always remember these lines from that famous Korean drama because those words just too beautiful for a damsel in distress. And it's actually the favorite PAINFUL memory of mine too tsk tsk
*kuaja do soalan ni haha
I'm single and HAPPY. No time wasted on men, save money, can do fangirling, no need to care about the other half's feeling, less insecure, no need to think about heartbreak, can do whatever I want, less fight, extra me-time.
13. A PICTURE OF YOUR FAVORITE BAND OR ARTIST
I wish I was born earlier.
14. A TV SHOW YOU'RE CURRENTLY ADDICTED TO
Ejen Ali hshshsh
15. SOMETHING YOU DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT
My phone.
16. SHORT TERM GOALS FOR THIS MONTH AND WHY
I wish to write more on this blog, do more paintings and read more books (or at least finish the 2020 anthology lol) because IDK, it's just a self-care thingy. Or maybe it's because of my birthday month??
17. HOW YOU HOPE YOUR FUTURE WILL BE LIKE
I always like to discuss this. With myself, obviously. I always imagine that in five years from now, I'll hit at least 5-figures of income every month with my blog and business doing pretty well, have my own studio, and paying for our house renovation.
There's a lot more actually but I think that's enough to tell here. I'm still doing the baby steps to achieve that future and I believe that it's possible to happen to me one day if I keep improving these steps. One thing for sure, I'll still a non-married woman sksksk.

27. WHAT KIND OF PERSON ATTRACTS YOU?
This question can be biased for some reason because we actually don't need any reasons to be attracted to someone. If you're attracted, you'll just be attracted to him/her. So, let me share the things that make me feels turn off (not totally hate) at someone instead.
- Too obsessed with a political party

- Haji Bakhil/terlalu berkira
- Disrespecting other people
- Selfish
- Lack of ambition/no clear goals
