Fashion

Hello people,

As most of you would've known by now, my new blog will be all about fashion and lifestyle.

Truthfully, I've always wanted to start a fashion blog but I've never had the chance to go on with it.

Well I guess its true that one thing leads to another that me moving to Melbourne would mean me pursuing my personal goals and ambitions.

I may not have much knowledge for now, but the world is a vast place filled with people and knowledge. I know that if you just believe, things will fall the way you hope for it to be. With the correct mindset that is. Well, making the first step is always the hardest right? 

I hope you guys will enjoy my new blog as much as you do on this one. Time sure flies fast,

two more weeks before pursuing my studies!

Wishing you guys a good day,

Mizan Ahmad.

Luna's Tenebris Part III Flos

The birds sang a glorious melody that woke me up from my slumber. I opened my eyes slowly to see him still in the couch. A smile carved on my face as I remembered the way he kissed my hand the night before. My heart rate tripled its pace as I saw him lay asleep there with the sunlight that was coming from the window next to him. He shone like an angel. Perfectly still. The sound of the bed spring woke him up as I was about to get up to put a blanket over him.

“Good morning, my Lady,” he said while rubbing his eyes.

“Good morning to you too,” I was trying to get off the bed and stand but it seemed like I hadn’t heal fully from the drop.

“Do you need help? Should I call the nurse?”, his face showed only signs of worries.

I shook my head and said, “Never mind, it’s okay. I can do this.”

……………………………………………………………..

My phone rang, it was Kate again. She panicked when she knew that I was admitted to the hospital. She was around the area and decided to visit me since no relative of mine were around. She was like family to me. We grew up together in a small town a few kilometres from where I live now. I had nobody else now…

Arthur stood up as soon as I hung up the call.

“Where are you going?” it came out more like a shout.

“I should be going now since your friend will come over soon.”

“I think it would be good for me to pay for your deeds, how about dinner?”

“Dinner? Miss Vasiliev, don’t worry on paying my deeds since I did what I thought was wise.”

Disappointments washed over me when words pierced my heart like a thousand needles. It must have shown on my face, he must’ve had noticed.

“Saturday, around 7pm. I’ll pick you up, my lady” he handed over his card to me.

Weird as it was, the card had the same symbol as his tattoo. What does this symbol represent?

I’d seen it before. I was sure of it.

……………………………………………………………..

Kate entered the room minutes after Alex went away. Kate was holding something in her hand, a box. I recognize that box straightaway, it was decorated with pictures of flowers, red and pink roses. It was back when we were a child that Kate’s mother brought us to go to the town for grocery shopping. Kate and I were strolling around the decoration aisle when we found this beautiful box. Kate’s mother was reluctant to buy it for us at first, she changed her mind after a few minutes of annoyance from both her friend’s daughter and hers. We used it to store ‘precious’ items; mostly junks that we found from strolling in the woods.

Kate sat down near my bed and opened the box. This was part of my childhood that I will always cherish, although my past was still blurry to me, I could still recall good memories that came by. I lost my parents when I was 5. Kate’s mother was a good friend of my mother so she took me in and treated me as her own. She started acting weird when I was 15. She mentioned that I was a curse and that I should’ve died along with my parents. She was then put into a mental institute for delusional disorder when I was 16. I could still recall what she said when she was dragged away by two men dressed in white, “The darkness is after you Luna, they came for me and they will come for you!” Kate and I had to move in with her uncle, not long after I turned 18, Kate’s mother killed herself in her room by hanging herself. That was the day that both Kate and I had to toughen ourselves up and be strong independent young women.

Remembering all those bad memories, I didn’t want to see what was inside the box. That was until…..

Faith

Faith means everything.
Everything we do, everything revolves around faith.

Never lose faith in somebody.
Faith is all we need to change people.

Numb

When you've been through a lot of pain, the only feeling you have left is numbness.

Identity

Who are we really? Why do we copy the actions of others?

What is the thing that truly defines an individual?

Society had shaped us to become what they deemed to be normal and ideal. Why must we follow the voice of majority? Will killing someone seem to be a normal thing if a majority of people said yes?

The voice of majority does not always prove that that something is right. We all are forced to become a square when all along, we as individuals have distinctive shapes and sizes. And when someone refuses to reshape and wants to stay the way he/she is, that person is labeled as a freak or a weirdo.

What was the main cause for someone to copy the action of others? To fit in? Note this, you can never turn yourself into someone else despite of all effort. Be yourself, do not copy what other people want or do. Actions will lead into reactions or might as well be labeled as effects. While trying to be someone you're not, you might have just lost your own true self.

What do you think that makes you, well, you? As I've mentioned a lot of time, love yourself first.

If you don't care about making yourself happy and care for  what others think to the extent that you make yourself feel crappy about it, just stop giving a damn about what others think. You can never please society as it is filled with narrow mindedness. 

I don't really know why I'm writing this.

To all copycats, please just stop copying others and please just be yourself.

To all crappy souls who have not been completely destroyed by the idea of acceptance from society,

just stop and be yourself.

Most important of all, just be happy.

Thanks for reading.

New Blog !

A new blog for a start of a new life !

http://sunriseatdownunder.blogspot.com

Will start writing on that page starting on 11th February.

Stay tuned!

Gold Coast to Brisbane

All great adventures begin with a long journey,

a long journey will have you feel nausea, bored, restless and pretty much everything else.

It took me 8 and a half hours to go from KL all the way to Gold Coast.

Truth be told, I couldn't sleep because of the uncomfortableness of the airplane seats.

I only had roughly  one and a half hour worth of rest before arriving to Gold Coast.

 Branded clothing are cheaper here to start with.

I recommend you guys to stay near the Surfers Paradise Beach.

It is worth it, trust me.

As for the food, you can always go and buy yourself kebabs or what not.

We went to this restaurant who's owner is a Chinese from Malaysia.

He's been living in Australia for over 2 decades and the restaurant offers

a wide range of Malaysian food. You should totally come over when you

feel the urge to find and eat food from back home. I forgot

the name of the restaurant but I'm planning to go back to Gold Coast as a holiday 

alone during my semester break in April. I will update you by then.

Top is from Ripcurl and shorts also from Ripcurl.

It cost me roughly 50 bucks from shirt to shorts.

The shades from the picture above were bought from

this shop that sells pretty much everything which cost about 20AUD.

 It was just a few hundred meters away from

the hotel I stayed in (Hotel Grand Chancellor).

Dad said it was about RM100+ for one night which was quite cheap

since it was just a 5 minutes walk away from the beach.

Voila~! This was the view from my balcony during my stay in Gold Coast.

The sand was unlike we have in Malaysia. The air quality is better too.

I miss this place so much.

I went there during Summer and to tell you the truth,

you won't feel the heat if you're in Gold Coast but in Brisbane, its otherwise.

After spending 2 days in Gold Coast, we had to leave Gold Coast for Brisbane.

It was roughly an hour long drive, Malaysians can drive using their origin license (as far as I know).

Driving in Gold Coast was way easier than driving in Brisbane.

You'll have a rough time getting to your destination if you don't know the place well.

That is when a travel buddy is best needed.

After 3 years of studying in Griffith University, my sister finally graduated from

Faculty of Health; Bachelor of Psychology. There was this woman who made a speech

during the graduation ceremony to wish all graduands good luck on their journey

of adulthood. She explained that dressing up is a good investment. 

"You have to dress expensive for the job, especially for an interview"

I couldn't repeat the exact phrase she mentioned but it was like

marketing but the difference is, the product is you.

You're there to sell your service (skills) and you have to always

maintain a good appearance so that people would be more or less attracted to you.

Who would ever want to buy an over washed cloth, heck who would even stop and stare?

It was an investment, and I have to agree with that.

She also mentioned that in this life, you will stumble and fall.

Failing in something doesn't mean that you will fail forever,

it does if you don't try and try harder.

The key is to put a sense of humor in it. Be optimistic.

Her speech was so inspiring and I was lucky enough to be there to hear it.

This was taken at South Bank, Brisbane.

I wore a simple formal shirt I bought from Cotton On and

H&M black skinny jeans.

There's a replica of a temple near this place and the Wheel of Brisbane is

located near this place. Go ahead and visit if you come over to Brisbane.

 

Iced Honey Lemon, a great refreshing drink before I went to the graduation ceremony.

I love that bracelet that I bought for 8 dollars. It has this unique touch to it.

I bought it from the same store I bought my shades.

If you do come over to Brisbane,

South Bank is a must visit place at night.

You should try riding the Green Cab too !

Its fun and relaxing and is only available at night.

After spending 7 days in Australia, I was back in Malaysia.

My adventure in Australia will resume itself again in 45 days. I can't wait.

I will be sure to update for more useful information regarding places to visit and what not.
