So many things to learn and so many opportunities here. To compare with my previous job, of course there's like long list of things I would like to share but first of all what is SOTA? SOTA or School of the Arts was established in 2008 and was the first per-tertiary arts school in Singapore. It was initiated by Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts and now took over by Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). It is an independent scho

What personality are you?

Bismillah. I will like to share with you guys regarding your characteristics. During the kursus rumahtangga also we did go through this session where we get to know more about ourselves. But the kursus rumahtangga one is just on the surface and there's 4 absolute types which you cant you cant interlap. Coz humans are not defined as 1 state, even twins have different needs and personalities. I love this test as it has 16 personalities which combines with each other and having it as unique. As for me, I'm an ESTJ . Mostly it covers my personality. Why do we need to know all this? It is not for us to infer and say, hey that's me but more to our spouses as they will be for the first time ever, staying with you and have to be with you like 24/7. So this will prepare them before getting a shock of their lives "ini ke bini aku? perangai nauzubillah. dulu time steady/tunang tak mcm ni pun". Hey, ingat perempuan je yg ade expectations, lelaki pun but they wont say it

#WeddingDrama: Khatam Quran

Assalamualaikum Sorry I've been busy like 24/7 ever since I started new job at SOTA. back to back events and now, I'm down with flu. Remember that time, i have target with my ustazah to do the majlis Khatam Quran the night before my nikah? Well, it turns out that my ustazah couldn't make it on Friday nights as they will have majlis halaqqah with masyaikh. She only mentioned that if I really want it on Friday, it will be from 6pm till mghrib. She asked me whether can we have it on Saturday morning before my nikah? Hopes and dreams seems to fall apart, I'm already halfway through and there's so much time, effort and money wasted to know that I can't have it on Friday night. I'm trying to sooth myself with another plan. Hopefully my aunts can help me with the majlis Khatam Quran. I'll just need to finish up my recitation before my wedding, that's all. The khatam can come later with my ustazah. Why? 1- Friday at 6pm till maghrib is the most bu

At first, I only thought that I want to get the baju nikah sewn by my friend's sister because my cousin,  Ira , was getting married and I didn't know that if she's taking engagement/wedding dress orders. But after discussing, she said she could insyaAllah and help me a lot with the design and fabrics. We went to Arab St on 4th March to discuss about the concept, the design and the fabrics that I want. I only know the fabrics like satin, chiffon, silk, lace, organza and cotton. Other than that, I'm a noob. haha. So dah happy2 and I have decided on what I want for my baju kan, we went to hunt for fabrics. I had no budget and specific lace or colour. If I like it, I buy it. I went crazy at Sharavan as they provide varieties of songkets!!! I love songket, I ni orang lama and now, songket comes in different2 colours and the tenunan have multiple coulours instead of the normal gold and silver tenunan. But, there's always drama to it. After we bought it, we went to t
