Crocheting.


Assalamualaikum..

It’s been a long while since I last wrote in here. InshaAllah I will try to update my blog once a day or once every 3-4 days. It’s not like I’m super busy with my work/personal life, more like I tend to forget to write down some important stuff that’s happening.

So yeah, hopefully starting with today’s post, I can continuously write my thoughts in here. Here it goes..

As for today, I’d like to write about the things that I’m currently into. You can actually guessed it from the title hahaha. Yup, I’ve rekindled my passion in crochet. I used to love doing crochet, making beanie hats for my nieces and nephews, and scarves for my mom. But now I’m trying my hands on making cardigans and drawstring bags.

I just followed the tutorials that I’ve found on the web. 

For the drawstring bag, I followed Melanie Ham’s tutorial on her blog: Drawstring Crochet Bag Pattern - Star Stitch

This is my very first still-in-progress drawstring bag; yellow and khaki in colour

For the Harry Styles cardigan, I followed Elviona Halim’s tutorial on her Youtube channel: Crochet Patchwork Cardigan | Harry Styles cardigan inspired

This is the start of the cardigan that I’m attempting to make: Harry Styles cardigan
I guess that's all for today's entry. I'll try and make a new post tomorrow about other things. As for the progress of both crochet projects, I'll be sure to update them in here soon InshaAllah. All the best to me!

Moving on.

Assalamualaikum...

Ah.. I thought I could do 1 entry per day but it turns out that I can't seem to keep that promise. Mianhe! So I'm gonna settle for at least 2-3 entries per week instead.

So.. yesterday my parents and I went to my sis' house in Pajam to help her settle down there with her family. Tomorrow we're going there again to send several things still left behind at their old house. I might spend the night there but my parents will go back home. Therefore, I've packed several stuff for my niece and nephew to keep them occupied while the adults are busy arranging all the furniture.

True to my words, I still haven't installed back the Twitter and Instagram apps. And I've been reading Webtoon instead. Starting tomorrow, InsyaAllah I will start reading one of my unread novels because it's been a while since I last read them. Hope I can keep this reading habit for as long as I can. Aja aja hwaiting, Aya!

Just now I've watched several Run BTS! episodes as I'm in the mood for some light entertainment, as well as looking at Jin's worldwide handsome face tehee!

As for other things, for example, my nonexistent "love life", it's finally official that I'm no longer going to wait for a miracle to happen with that guy. I think it was in early August that I called it quit. For me, there's no point in waiting for something that's never gonna happen anyway, hence the decision to do so. Since then, I haven't contacted that guy but he would still texts me sometimes. At first I didn’t wanna reply but changed my mind because Alhamdulillah I no longer feel anything for him so I would just reply nonchalantly. And it's been like that until now. It's not like I'm into someone else, it's just that I'm gonna let bygones be bygones. And kinda hoping that he would stop texting me altogether soon.

I'm currently on school break for a week, so I'm gonna focus on myself to rest, physically and mentally. Maybe catching up with some of my hobbies; uploading a new Ukulele cover video, or even finishing up my mom's crocheted cardigan.

Till next time, annyeong~!

A new day.

Assalamualaikum...

It's been too long since I last wrote in here. To be honest, I was so lazy to write anything. However, starting today InsyaAllah, I will try and write an entry once a day, to try and keep track of anything that's happening around me.

Last night, I've impulsively deleted the Twitter and Instagram apps from my phone (but I didn't deactivate my accounts). The main reason is because I was too reliant on those apps to be honest. Not that I'm actually conversing with anyone from there, it's just that I've noticed that those were the apps that I open the most everyday, starting from when I wake up until the moment I'm about to sleep. Personally, I think it is quite toxic. Therefore, I chose to delete the apps, hoping that I can somewhat curbed my addiction to those apps. It's only been Day 1, so here's hoping that I can resist the temptation for as long as I can.

Secondly, nowadays I'm back into reading. I've purchased so many books, subscribed to several webtoons and downloaded tons of e-books. Hopefully I can read them all during these school holidays (in between unpacking stuff at our new school and all).

Recently I started watching Thai dramas and some of them are good enough that I've binge-watching them over the weekends. Such a nice way to spend my time indoor hahahaha. And since I've had my fill of the dramas, I'm gonna start reading all those unread books and no more buying new ones until I'm finished with the existing ones. 

Oh, I'm also gonna start doing the Intermittent Fasting (IF) as I feel like I'm getting fatter by the minute T_T wish me luck!

I guess that's all for today. InsyaAllah tomorrow I will write again. See ya!
