I love writing. But I humbly admit that my writing skills, or lack thereof, is mediocre, nothing too exceptional or extraordinary. However, I feel more comfortable when I write (or in this case, type) as compared to talking. Words just seem to flow better and smoothly as I write. I get nervous when I have to speak, and my mind tend to get cluttered right when I'm in the midst of a conversation, thus, disabling me to find the right words to speak. I was worse when I was younger though (psh I meant when I was still a child. I'm not old yet !!). It was almost too impossible to hear a single word coming out my mouth, let alone forming a cohesive sentence. The words just miraculously got stuck in my throat, as if something was holding it back from making a long-awaited appearance. I was that bad . And for that, I felt small in a world where extroverts are highly favoured and socially acceptable. It wasn't a competition between the loud and the quiet anymore. The world felt...

So I went for a short, but fun and definitely (not so) relaxing  weekend weekday getaway with my The Blow team in KL a few days ago! If you had been keeping tabs with me a few months back, you'd know that my team and I took home first place for WP Hotel's Ramadan Buffet ad campaign - in which we had to basically pitch an idea and propose them the best and suitable media to circulate the said campaign. Alhamdulillah! Apparently, the hotel loved our idea and promised us a room or two for one night and a Ramadan buffet voucher for each and one of us at the hotel.

No one has the time in the world for this!! Smh. Anyway, Ramadan came and went just like that. Right after our ...

...or more like Penang Foodventure 2k17 Hi! This trip to Penang was never at all planned. I had no idea we were going until last Tuesday or Wednesday (I can't remember) when Ayah told me. It came as an absolute surprise to me because... well it's kind of personal but just know that I had never seen this coming. I thought my weekend (or Raya Haji for that matter) was going to be like any other weekends (and Raya Haji(s)) but I definitely thought wrong but no complaints there hehe. In case you noticed, I was a little quiet during Raya Aidilfitri two months ago and that is because I didn't get to celebrate Raya in Penang this year :( So, to be able to balik Penang for Raya Haji really got me excited hehe. DAY 1 : It was a 10-hour long and grueling drive to Penang. Took a few photos dalam kereta. DAY 2 : Raya Haji. We decided to visit Daddy, my uncle, who is also my arwah Mimi's eldest brother, and is now residing in Kuala Kedah. But before that, a few ...
