20 June 2017/ 25 Ramadhan

I would say today has been productive. A lot of work done and I also cook the meal for break fasting today and it's the ever so famous Nasi Lemak. It turns out to be 65% okay (is this the way to measure tastiness of a food?) as it's my first time doing it.

To the mall again to do the last minute shopping. I was amazed by how the kids clothes are very pretty and right up my street. How I wish they had them in my size. I didn't buy anything to the point my father asked me "Are you really not gonna by anything?".

Before we head home, we had a supper at the nearest mamak. Not going to lie, but, I'm pretty hungry after that 2 hour shopping trip.

Wake up a bit early today with hope that I wouldn't sleep after is not that successful. That sleep makes me forget to pass this important letter to my brother. Afterwards I feel bad for myself for not taking things seriously. That leads to so much overthinking and procrastinating.

When something bad happen I always remind myself not to take things for granted, but, I never really remember.

Later that night, we did some more shopping and it was a successful one. The mall as usual is packed with people

22 June 2017// 27 Ramadhan

As usual I slept till noon and feel bad afterwards. Then the mother decided to bake kuih raya
(cornflakes madu). My stomach doesn't feel good that day because I miss my Sahur. Then my sister help with baking the kuih and everything.

For breaking fast I finally get to go out with the friends and I get to fix my cravings for pasta and chocolaty drinks. We walk around the mall a little bit. I was so surprised we don't take any photos at all and just catching up. It does feel good.

Later that night I slept at 4.30 a.m because I was on duty to check on the last batch of the kuih raya whilst watching Table 19. I give it a go and manage to go through that 1 hour and 30 minute-ish movie. It's a very relaxing movie good for when you had a long day and just want something to watch.

Last year I decided to log out from Instagram for a month. It's because I somehow get bored looking at similar things being shared. It's like going through the exact same routine everyday. I also have nothing exciting and beautiful I can share with my fellow followers. Since there's nothing can fill my empty soul in either way I gave up for awhile.

At first I feel a bit weird as I feel part of my ritual gone missing and Instagram always be the first social media I look at than anything else. It's because I enjoy looking at pictures and get to catch random promotion from my favorite online store, oops! Then day by day I don't feel as bored as I ban myself from going through that "boring world" for a while. Facebook has become a good substitute and at least I have something different to look at. I'm not complaining if I can look at videos of cute cats everyday.

It's liberating, I feel like my mind is free from such trivial things and actually have a spare time for something that need my attention most. I can look at something different that's more exciting in everyday life and not just plainly scrolling through Instagram feeds. To be quiet frank, I can spend an hour or two by looking through discovery. Plus with new added features; Instagram stories. I expect that would take forever. Most people or at least me can be in a completely different atmosphere when I'm on Instagram. I feel like there's so much more than just looking at pictures and stories that people are sharing. I've use my curiosity for something else. Since I'm not so friendly type of person, I feel like this is the perfect time that I can learn to communicate and engage more with people I meet in everyday life than just spending my time interact with people through likes, comments and views.

Sometimes I always tempted to log in as I'll be notified through e-mail saying that people mention or tag me in certain posts. I kind of feel guilty not responding at all as that's people would expect from me. I basically do nothing about it and not even talk about it. People also won't be bothered to even know about it. Trust me. I would also miss my favorite people to follow and wonder what they've been up to. That's the thing that I miss on Instagram just to look at their pictures that's actually quite therapeutic to look at.

Instagram used to be something that I feel is a necessity. I feel like I cannot go a day without looking at my Instagram. Now, its just going to be a leisure thing for me, but, it can be a little stressful and overwhelm at times. I'm not going to completely cut it out as I enjoy anything that has to do with pictures; to take, edit and even look at pictures. It can also be the place where I can get inspiration from. What bore me the most is that the same style of things being shared that I've seen probably about thousand times. Nothing really excite me anymore and I definitely need a break from it now and then.
