Peace be upon you, readers. 

I want to share with you readers about an app. Online dating app. I am not a guru or master in this. I am just user of the app. Singles and people in relationships are in this too. Why I decided to blog about this? Because it is time for me to share with you my views about this. Like what people say, "you don't know what it is until you try."

I do not tell people at first I used this app to find love. I do not tell people that I have guys hitting up on me asking me for meet ups and numbers. I do not tell people that I am so desperate for love that I am looking for it online. 

I started using this app in 2013. 3 years now. Have I uninstall it for once? I did. Reinstall again? I did. And, now, I half fully understand that online dating app does not mean you will get a boyfriend in an instant. It still needs time to work out. From saying hi in the app, to whatsapp and finally meeting them in person or prolly not meeting them in person, it is still a long way.  

Two possible results out of this dating app: 

1. Be happily married to the person. 
2. Looking for a new person after the previous one left. 

Pros of dating app: 
1. You get to see good looking guys with impressive profiles all over the world
2. You get to chat with someone who has similar interest with you
3. You get to meet your doppelganger. (who knows, they are your distant relatives!)
4. You will come across your long lost schoolmates and surprised to how fine they are now! 
5. Nice people who gave you motivations and encouraging words. 
6. Convenient

Cons of dating app:
1. Judging people based on their photos, profiles and the way, they start their conversation.
2. They got your number and poof, they disappear, 
3. Talking about sex whether or not, you are wearing hijab.
4. Talking about marriage and restrict your  when you have not have a proper date yet
5. Saw your guy friend's profile and you were like, "I thought he is attached?!!"
6. Saw your cousin's profile and screenshot it, whatsapped him and vice versa. 

Yes, I went through all of that plus rude/bad dates. And me, being easily falling in love, got hooked on guys who treat me nice and made me feel happy even for a short period. But thanks to them leaving when I am into them, taught me that people might not have the same feelings as you do. So much you wanted them to be into you, feelings cannot be forced. 

Some dudes left but their numbers are still in my contact list. I've yet to delete them off. Some dudes are just friends on the social media sites like instagram, twitter, facebook. Some dudes are just not on my list anymore because they cannot stand me being busy all the time. 

But, now, I felt that I need to stop using the app. Because I have my priorities right now. Like I want to travel and discover more things. Like I want to graduate and get a full time job. love will come later. Allah has better plans for me. I know that. Its time to fully leave it to Allah. Redha. 

And, I would love to meet someone first before texting not texting first before meeting. :) 

you are beautiful and worthwhile to wait for. 
you are worth a lot! 

love, 
Siti Zulaikha.

Positive To Negative Real Quick.

assalamualaikum, readers. :) Aida Azlin asked in the Sisterhood FB, my biggest lesson this year so far. And I said that, "I learnt that the dua you made at a certain point in life which you really wanted at that point of time, does not need to be answered immediately because Allah has better plans for you in the future. And to get to the things you wanted or even better, you will have to go through his tests and he will reward you greatly. And this year is the year that almost of my dua has been answered. Alhamdulilah for all the blessings he gave me. "  This year was so good that I did not mange to write them down. Allah gave me a job that I fell in love with. I got 2 upcoming school trips. I got to be involved in Introspeksi 2018 again but as a crew which often people overlooked. But it is important as it is. I tried Netball again, a sport I left for 11 years because of aurat. I assist the kids in Netball ECA. Do you know how happy I was? To rekindle love again for

Hong Kong Day 2-4.

assalamualaikum, readers!  Day 2 post for Hong Kong is finally here. The month has been hectic as Ramadhan is here and also, in between, I run out of energy fast as it was spent at work with the kids. Back to this, basically, Day 2 was just Disneyland. The rides are mostly family friendly meaning more kiddy rides than thrilling rides. I have never been to Disneyland so I decided to start my first Disneyland Journey in Hong Kong. And, ohh, when you saw the train to Disneyland, you know you were going to a magical place. The insides of the train were cute too. From the handles, to the statues and even their windows, how can I not fall in love?  10 April 2018   Hong Kong Disneyland Lantau Island, Hong Kong $88 via Klook App. The park was big and thus, lots of walking. Upon reaching, I knew that I really want to eat the Mickey Mouse waffle as I had been seeing on other people instagram and no, it was not that extraordinary waffle that had fireworks in your mouth,

Dear Nenek Bibi.

assalamualaikum, readers.  I am sure you've heard the recent natural disasters that happened and also, prior to that, I have friends who lost their loved ones and I have been sending my love and condolences to them. Losing the people we love and when it repeatedly happen, we have to keep coming to terms that they are no longer here on this earth. No longer that figure that we see often at home or during gatherings/hari raya. I lost mine in the midst of having Terminal 2 rehearsals and she was someone that I looked forward to meet when I went to Batam. Every single time I saw her and had conversation with her, my heart just swells with lots of love and happiness. Whenever we parted ways, she always say, "datang selalu, kenal saudara nanti kita dah takde, dah terlambat. Doa untuk nenek ye, jadi kita boleh jumpa lagi. " and that, left just words. I looked up to her because she always on her zikir count. Wherever she was, she always zikir. She never forgets Allah at
