The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

Hellooo!

It's the second entry for today hihi. The next book imma talk about is The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams. This book was so funny and entertaining, but also so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I bet your feelings will be all over the place when reading this one. One of my favourite reads so far! The concept of this book is so unique and I love that it is not cliche. This book circulates on the marriage issues between Gavin and his wife Thea but then the way Gavin builds up his confidence and how he changes to a better husband for his wife just makes me so happy. I love how the author writes the characters and there's no boring part in this book.

Rate: 4/5⭐

I love how the author highlighted toxic masculinity and I think this book will help to bring another perspective on how we should view relationships between a man and a woman. Gavin is basically a baseball player, not to mention a very famous one but he also deals with a condition (which you should find out in the book) but Thea is so supportive and loving, not giving a chance to anyone to disrespect his husband. When the problem emerges between them, we can clearly see how egoistic and lies in a relationship will not help in solving a problem, instead, it is gonna make it harder and worse. 

It is always a good idea to start lowering our egos and try to talk through things, be responsible and maybe, start over. Gavin, on the other hand, finds in clueless about how to attract his wife and save his marriage. When his fellow friends come up to him and told him about this secret club to help him redeem his wife's love towards him, well, just like we would respond, he just laughs it off because hello? it's a freaking book club? sounds un-tempting much. He then gave it a go and learns so many things from the romance book but did he succeed in getting his wife and save his marriage? that's for you to find out. so read it guys, especially if you were looking for a good light read which will make you feel all sorta way. this is the book for you. I guess that's it for today! See you in another review soon :)

Love, fh.

Frost Blood by Elly Blake

Hello loves! 

It's been too long since I've last updated anything on this blog but today I am going to try to give a new start to my blog. Not only I will be talking about random things in my life, now I am going to start sharing my passion for books. Last week, I finished reading Frost Blood by Elly Blake. This book is the first book of the Frost Blood Saga. Truthfully, this book left me gasping for another taste of reading it for the first time. I. CAN'T. STOP. THINKING. ABOUT. IT. 

Rate: 5/5⭐ 

Frost Blood cover (that I own)

Well, this book is about Frost Blood and Fire Blood. They were rivals, they don't favor each other and they do not live with each other. Fire Bloods are rare because apparently, The Frost Blood King thinks that it is a good idea to get rid of them for good. Ruby the Fire Blood, however, lives a peaceful life with her mother in the Frost Blood territorial country, disguising as healers but suddenly their lives were destroyed by the sudden attack on the village they reside causing her mother to be killed. As sad as it sounded, Ruby continued her life being trapped in the prison until finally, she got a chance to revenge for her mother's death. oof, I think I really need to brace myself. These whole reviewing things are making me stressed out, it's so hard t talk about this book without giving out the spoilers haha! So might as well stop here. All I can say is this book is gonna get you through a fantastic ride of a roller coaster. The romance, the tension, the anger, the sadness are all gonna make you ask for more. I can't wait to get the next books (Fire Blood & Night Blood) because I know they're gonna be even better reads. Just look at how many tabs I put through this book. It's THAT good, guys.

I love the world-building so much it was easy to understand so I think this book will be a great choice if you want to start reading fantasy. The characters? They have my whole heart and soul and my being itself. Arcus is just too attractive and the way he treated Ruby got me smiling so so hard my cheeks hurt. Oh by the way Ruby is a Fire Blood while Arcus my bae, on the other hand, is  Frost Blood so yes they were rivals and this book is an amazing book of enemies to lovers trope. There were just so many things to discuss but I might as well shove you the book for you to experience yourself. Read this book blindly, if possible. Don't read any other review (apart from this one :p) because I know you will love it just as much as I do. 

Love, fh.

You Do You :)

 

Hey guys,

It's November and we're all still in the middle of a Pandemic and unfortunately, I just have this feeling that Ms. Rona won't be going away anytime soon. Or I should rephrase it "Any-year" soon. Nevertheless, we will still have to continue our lives with new norms. Like me, I am currently in the third week of the third semester, and God, I miss going to a physical class. The online class is just draining on another level. 

However, since I am in a mood to write tons of nonsense things, my mind finally came up with a big topic that always bothers my mind. Have you guys ever be in a position where everyone just doesn't understand you? Or maybe they react to your sadness in a way that makes you feel that you are actually lonely and has no one to rely on every time you need a hand to guide you or a couple of ears to lend? That is what I feel every single time I go through a breakdown. Some days, you might just feel sadder, or more insecure than the other and that is when you need someone to hear your inner thoughts, your darkest bunch of secrets and when they react the way that makes you feel less worthy or making you guys feel stupid for having such thoughts or mindset, it makes you crushed. & I just need you to know that you're not stupid. You are worthy and you are right to voice out every thought that bothers your peaceful mind. On the other hand, if you are in a position where people came in to lend your shoulders for their sorrow, listen to them. Do not go around telling them that they should not feel that way or they are just wasting their time thinking about it the way they do. That is just not right. They won't be telling you all of those ugly, dark thoughts if they didn't figure it out. They did. They know they shouldn't. But who are we to judge them for how cruel the world treats them? 

Let me put it like this: Having sad/insecure thoughts or breakdowns are just as bad as your other secrets that you don't want people to find out. Let us just replace the insecurities/ sadness with the simplest secret we all keep; picking our noses so you guys can understand the concept better. When we picked our nose, we won't be telling people 'Hey! I just picked my nose in the toilet and I found a very big insect in it (jk)'. But IF you might have a problem with it; as in maybe the insect is too big that it makes you hard to breathe, but you can't get it out your nose-- you need assistant, you need help and you WILL have to tell someone about it. Maybe the doctor, because obviously, we trust them with medical issues way better than anyone.

This is the case when we have problems that we want to get rid of in our lives. That's why, when someone comes to you to let their burden or sadness out, you need to attend to them positively because they TRUST you with their problems. They want you to be a part of their journey to be a better version of themselves. You shouldn't act like they are over-reacting or anything like it, because they aren't. Help them. Help your family, your friends, and your partner to be happy. Don't abandon their need for love and reassurance. I think that is all I need to say. Have a good day everyone. xx

Love, FH.

Hello 2020!

Hola and Good Day all!

Bachelor in Science (Industrial Biology) 1-SSCB

Honestly, it has been so long since I last updated this dusty blog. Yeah, again the exact same sentence for every new post because I am too lazy to do anything apart from sleeping. It's already February of 2020 but I think 'Happy New Year' can still be mentioned at least until the end of this month(?) so, Happy New Year guys! But whatever. I'm in my first week of Semester 2 in UTM Skudai and finally, I can really experience my days learning Biology that I've always admired. Not that we didn't learn about it in the previous semester, it's just that the topics and chapters of biology that I love are clearer in this one and after a very long period, I can finally experience the classes with male lecturers for biology subjects, or precisely science courses in general. It's a new experience for sureee.

That picture is from today and was taken by our Bioorganic Chemistry Lecturer. I know, you can barely see anything but let's just pretend you see me at the corner smiling like an idiot with my ugly little peace. So far this first week is just like the other first weeks of other semesters, relaxing, filled with canceled classes and it almost makes me forget that I am actually already in the boat of a new semester! In the picture, you can see (if not just pretend you do) that some of my coursemates are wearing face masks because of this new viral disease called 2019-nCoV. This has caused much death and there are numbers of contaminated patients in Malaysia itself and honestly, I am worried about it. Unfortunately, the supply of face masks and hand sanitizers that are crucial for this sort of situation is limited and we can barely find one in any shops or drug stores. At this point, all we could do to make sure our health is protected from any contagious diseases is to avoid being in a public place and avoid contact with people as much as we can but unfortunately, this one is also impossible because we need to attend classes every day. why am I suddenly so into this topic? pfft. Please just make sure to take care of yourselves okay, peeps? 

That's it! I hope you guys enjoy your 2020 and may our days filled by happiness and positiveness hihi. Till next time, bubyeeee.

Love, fh.

Johor Matriculation College Journey

Hello everybody.

Today, I'm missing my ex classmates during matriculation times. It's not that I don't miss them any other days but I just miss them a little bit more than ever today. So, as I scrolled down my photos I saw a few beautiful picture of all of us, MS 27 during that one year period where we only have each other to hold our back for life support as we all have to deal with living far away from home, from our family. So I was one of the PST student which meant I only have one year to spend in matriculation and it kind of sad now thinking about it because trust me guys, you will never ever get such a beautiful moments and memories in life (while studying) like one every matriculation students had. Aaaaaa rindu!!!

Riadah time!

Basketball evening with the girls

Farwizah, Aqilah, Munirah, Isyakierah, Solehah, Phong, Filzah, Anis, Ina, Nanad, Atin, Aznin. I miss basketball evening with all of you. So in my class, we have 18 students and most of us are girls but that's fine because we all were destined together.Even at the slightest moments the boys will interact less with the girls, we girls will always find a way ensure that they don't feel left out. Wherever you are, my MS27 buddies, please stay healthy and happy! I love and miss you guys so much.

Love,
Farra.

Confidence is the gold key in uni life

Holla!

I'm back again. Well yeah you may see that I spend quite frequent times in blogging then pausing for a long period of time then continue frequently over again like I'm the owner of this blog which I am. Ya Allah apa aku cakap ni, I hope all of you can understand me clearly because I am currently experiencing the worst day in uni life (for now) but whatsoever I'm here listening to sam smith's songs and I'm pretty sure (well, not really) that I am okay now.

Ugh! So, back to the main topic. As you can see in the title part above, I want to talk about confidence. Believe me guys, the main luggage you need to fill up before coming to any universities, is the luggage full of confidence and courage. That's it, and you're all good. For example, if you're too good in English but you don't have enough courage to speak or talk to someone using that language, you're just as doomed as people who don't know English at all. Please, just talk confidently even if it's wrong because believe me no one is going to laugh at you or even make a joke out of it. If they do, they're just making a joke out of themselves because no one is perfect here, they just act like they are because they wanted to stand out more than any other students who don't have the confidence or courage to take those opportunities

I guess that's all I can say. I'm not in the mood to write or tell any other nonsense stories of mine. Stay cool guys, bye!

Love,
Farra.

New journey, new friends

Hello!

The first week of class has finally come to an end. I can say that this life as a university student is much more packed and harder than I imagined. Thank God I have my sister to guide me or else I'll stucked up into the worst nightmare I could possibly imagining. This journey also make me realise how precious our holiday times and the times we share with our family are. I wish I can just stay home all day instead of the dormitory but this will all be over in four years, Inshaallah. So, I have to enjoy every single time I have during this degree life at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. For the course, which is the degree in Industrial Biology, it is all I ever dreamed about. I love biology and I'm willing to spend my times in UTM enhancing my skills especially in labs.

What makes me more nervous is the realisation that I have to use English language whenever I have to talk to my classmates because most of them are Chinese, Indians and also International students who obviously will use English as their communication medium.  But well I hope I can improve my communication skill despite the hardship to produce a spontaneous sentence in a matter of seconds. I know my English is bad but this opportunity can actually help me to be better and better day by day. Thanks to this blog too, even though I have tons of mistakes in my blog posts but whatever, we can never be the best without failing, right? Hehe sorry for the nonsense but hey let's enjoy some pictures from this week.

my coursemate!

You cannot spot the International student in the photo well because she's obviously from Asia too so it's hard to differentiate them from the local students hehe but not all okay! Of course we have International students from around the world but in my course, we have Asians, Indonesian.

meet our International friend, Anjani from Indonesia (black-shawled girl)

me and fina exploring the centre point ;p

The lecturers here are all awesome, (well at least for my course) and I love how my maths and stats lecturers understand the hate biology students have for numbers so they try their best to make us change our perspective towards those subjects. and well I think I started to love them a little bit more than I did hehe.

Well to be honest, I myself still can't believe that I am facing an adulthood phase and so it's hard to remove my childish self away but I hope I'll be one of the best here, with that first class award :p Well I guess that's it for now, will share more entry soon wait okay! See you in the next post fellas.

Love, farra.
