Yupi Of My Youth

I used to buy these from the small shops around the corner of my neighbourhood. Whenever we get the chance to come back and visit Malaysia we'd usually buy boxes of these sweets and bring it back to Liverpool to share with kids at school :D These beats any other sweets or candies around the world. Nothing tastes like Yupi. 






Time to introduce these little sweet suckers to my friend from across the sea <3

Cynical-ism Among Malays

This issue has been bothering me ever since I get to know the real Malays. Hey I'm part malay myself and it's not that I'm degrading my own race. I'm just stating facts and I believe you practice this too in your daily life.
You see, Malays believe in this quote "cakap berlapit"
According to my observations Malays who practice this quote don't really get the real meaning of it. "Cakap berlapit" simply means using better words to express any dissatisfactions regarding any issues. But the way the people use it is more to being cynical rather than being completely honest about it.

Let me give you an example yeah :

A boy who thinks he's too good for the world had the nerve to write about a girl who is wearing a hijjab but with leggings (this attire is considered inappropriate in the eyes of the malays who are muslims). To make matters worse, this particular person wrote it on FB. Yeah.  Kurang berani rupanya hamba Allah ni.
Boy's status : Cantik seluar. Tapi lebih baik kau tak payah pakai apa2. (it's something similar to this but he put it in a meaner way)

If this is your way of berdakwah by all means throw it in the bin and shut up. If you see it, tell it straight to the girl. Nicely. By saying "lebih baik kau tak payah pakai apa2", who the hell do you think you are? Then have everyone liking his status to rank the popularity of his status.
Now my dear readers do you see what I mean?

I swear to God these people are deadly cynical on facebook. Giving out statuses like "Gelak macam pontianak" -.- "gediknya perempuan. Lelaki mesti suka". "Speaking sentiasa. Wow Si Melayu celup" yeah, something like this. You know I prefer you tell it straight to their faces.

Just stop being so jealous of other people's happiness. Malays especially -.- Rezeki kita ada di mana-mana. Sendiri perlu cari bukan rebut orang lain punya. Work harder if you want to achieve something. If you lack of anything that makes you feel really small for example not knowing how to speak English. Then you should start learning English. Don't bring others down to your low level. If you think you are not as pretty as others, who cares just be yourself. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. You don't have to be mean to those who you think are prettier than you. Then that would make your inside as ugly as your outside. True, no? :) Be nice and be yourself, simple. Others will love you as you are.

I have been told off once or twice. It didn't hurt me. In fact, I took it really well. Why? Because it was put it an orderly way using the most suitable words that I completely understood. There is no need to be all mean and cynical. You'll only hurt your own friends. I'd usually straight away delete or unsubscribe people who give out annoying statuses. I don't like negativity around me. I tend to avoid all these ngumpatan and crapping shits about other people on fb. It's a waste of time even for a glance.

Moral of this post:
Go straight to the point. Don't twist and turn your words to aim others. Karma will twist and turn to your way.
"Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation."
  
Goodbye cruel world of cynicalism. I'm going to a better place with my people <3

Nobody's perfect, Yeah. I have my own imperfections too. So in the future, tell me off nicely :) If you have any dissatisfactions, dont keep it. Express it using appropriate words.

Heart

A very good friend of mine, Am, has given me links about love. I really don't know why but I just decided to read it anyway :) The links were showing how men tend to express their love. Kind off weird to be reading about this though. Geli pun ada. hahaha. The world "cinta" or "sayang" makes me giggle :D I guess I'm just not mature enough.


As for me I don't think I'll ever find a boyfriend until I've finished studying. At least not from UPM :p
Because here is how relationships work in UPM:
1) Either the boy or the girl already has a boyfriend at home.
2) Find another 'spare part' in campus.
3) Stay in a relationship till end of semester.
4) Go back home, break up with the boyfriend or the girlfriend from campus.
5) Be in a relationship with the current ex from home.
6) Holiday ends, go back to campus, break up with the ex from home.
7) Back in a relationship with ex from campus! yeayyyy. happy love life <3


If you understand the whole procedure :)


Which is why I will never find one from here (well I hope not) I admit there are some really good guys over here that I really admire. Guys that never touch girls, never stare at girls and etc. Most of them are in the religious category. I would say they are far more attractive than other normal boys. hehehe. My taste is very different  (gatal mode :p) Then again, they'll never look at girls like me :( But never give up on your hope in marrying an ustaz Reyna! hahaha. 


However, these 3 guys that I have major crushes on should never know that I actually like them (Kind off pointless to be saying this cause I know they'll be reading this anyway. hahaha) Anyway, if a girl confesses her love towards the boy before he does, then by all means the girl has lost. Girls should never do that. It's just against the rules of feminism. A girl's feeling should be kept to herself and expressed to the man she knows she's going to marry. Baru la special like dis <3 hehe.
Hence, try not to be in a relationship. This is to maintain your boundaries as a girl and a boy. Nothing more compared to a married couple. Just know that that person is yours and you are going to be his. That way is even more sweeter :) You malu2, you sengih2 like kerang busuk, then you express, then you get married. Like a princess :D (takda kena mengena tapi sounds cute)


Good thing mama reminds me all the time to take care of myself and know my boundaries against any boys :)


Moral of this post is:
1) Doesn't matter how hard a person is trying to get your love if the time is not right, don't push your self.
2) You don't have to be in a relationship to keep that person in your life. You just have to trust that person and know that he or she truly loves you.
3) Keep your boundaries cause anything can happen.
4) Be patience. When the time comes, he or she will be yours. That one last person WILL be the best for you <3

17

Looking back at my old pictures, I kind off miss home. My friends, family, and the old me. I'm so different compared to the old Reyna. The old Reyna never dares to walk under the sun. Because she sneezes every time  she goes outdoor. She hardly ever go out. She has hardly any guy friends, SERIOUSLY -.- Back at home where she's treated like a princess and her friends are sort off her loyal followers (mampus I kalau mereka baca post ni. hahaha). People are always nice to her and shes always nice to people. That was me when I was 17 :) But here it's the complete opposite. In a positive way though, don't get me wrong. The new Reyna plays all kinds of sports she could get her hands on in UPM (Yeah UPM im promoting you. haha). She plays kayak, bola baling, tennis, sepak takraw and etc. amazing isnt it? She has guy friends too (wow major improvement! mama must be proud :p) She's friends with everyone and call everyone by the name "Gorgeous...!" hihi. I can never remember peoples name. So that's my only solution. Bak kata Ah Pong, saya banyak makan ubat semut.










Short Hair

Ayah <3

Librarian. ehemm.







Gelojoh


It has always been our tradition as bestfriends to go solat terawih together.



Makcik jual Karipap

Kami datang dari Acheh. hahaha







Classmates :)

How I wish to go back in time and visit my old world. I'd like to bring my friends from over here and visit my place though. That would be really wonderful. Kl is not such a bad place after all. One thing I've learned so far it's that its never about the place itself but the people you're with <3 I'm not a complete whole new person, just modified. Mama and Ayah I love you so much! (tiba2 homesick)

New Bonds

You are the most beautiful person I've ever met. Kind hearted, funny, giggly, wise, smart and religious. So precious and loved by everyone. How I wish I could be someone like you. We went to Starting School together, yes that's when I first noticed you. First time I saw you, dah nampak dah cahaya keimanan on your face :D Just so you know, that girl you saw in front who was so nervous and couldnt speak a word, well she's now your new bestfriend :) We may not be close and I might not know much about you but I can tell that you're that one person who would remain as my good friend for life <3


Ariff Sofian
He's from Sabah. His accent is so sexy.

Hey, I have more to share! <3
I've come across more new great people. They too are very conservative and funny. Our friendship started from Bakti Siswa. 

Zimah and Tuan Lokman
She's from Kelantan and he's from Terengganu.
I can never catch up with their conversation :p
They sound so sexy at times <3

Teehee  :)


Honestly, I've never had friends like you guys before. You guys are so different than my friends back at home. I know I may not always understand your dialects since all three of you are from different states but language is no barrier in friendship :)

I'm grateful to have you guys in my life :)
