Now I’m gonna talk about a famous bridge in New York which I'm very sure that you all know about, which is the Brooklyn Bridge. So this bridge connects two different parts of New York which are Brooklyn and Manhattan. Manhattan will be where tourists will spend most of their time in while Brooklyn is known with their.. idk maybe rap? like Jay-Z and its unique style which if I were to describe, I don’t know how. What I know is I wouldn’t walk alone in Brooklyn at night. To describe more on both related to fashion, I think Manhattan is more about smart, formal plus a little casual while Brooklyn is more like a street wear vibe. I hope I describe them enough. However these two places actually do complement each other as Manhattan is where all the jobs opportunities are at and Brooklyn is where people are living for those jobs as Manhattan is too expensive. 

So before going to this bridge, I will recommend everyone to start with DUMBO if they are living in Brooklyn for their Airbnb or whatever because they are kinda one way too, as you will meet DUMBO first before the bridge. After you take pictures at DUMBO, walk on the same street but away from the Manhattan Bridge (blue bridge) until you find a sign showing stairs to go up to Brooklyn Bridge. It will be about 3 or 4 blocks away if I’m not mistaken. Go up the stairs and you will be on the bridge. This way, you don’t have to walk from the very end of the bridge and you can  save your energy a bit. From the stairs spot, it will take about approximately 20 to 25 mins to walk across the bridge to Manhattan. But if you start from the very end of the bridge in Brooklyn, maybe it will take 35 to 40 minutes of walking to get to the end. 

At the end of the bridge at Manhattan side, there will be people selling cheap souvenirs like a fridge magnets, keychain and posters, so don’t forget to bring your cash. Yeah cash, they don’t accept cards.

It's a week before classes started and I don't know how I am feeling. Certainly it’s not sad, it’s not so happy either, I don’t know. Maybe I am glad that the break is over and I finally have something to do. I think I will prefer to work rather than doing nothing at home like I did during the past few weeks and I feel so unhealthy and definitely not efficient at all. But my school only open the lab during school days.. so when there’s no students, it means no job for me..  what can I do. For those who are wondering, I am working as a laser cut lab monitor in school and I got pretty decent amount of money every two weeks. 
Since I am living in New York, I got $15 per hour, and that’s the minimum wage here. So if I'm working 12 hrs per week, I can get about $700 per month. That’s enough to add to my monthly allowance so far.

Hello, let's start with the closest attraction to my house. It is called DUMBO. Can anyone guess what  DUMBO stands for? haha it's quite silly but DUMBO is Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
Actually, people mostly don’t know what this place is called same goes to my friends, they were like  "what is the place in between building where you can see the bridge behind tu". Well now friends, ask no more. It's Dumbo. 

So how to get to DUMBO? this is actually a bit tricky, actually not so tricky but having the exact view I have in the picture above could be quite confusing. So what you need to do is set up the location in your maps or google maps at 39-21 Washington St, Brooklyn, NY 11202 and it will lead you to the beautiful view behind me. Thanks me later

Take pictures as many as you want and as quick as you can also because this spot is gonna be in the middle of the street. Yeah, in the middle. They don’t close the street even though there are a lot of people so you need to be careful and always watch for cars when taking your pictures okie. 

I have been here so many times, probably more than 10 times because I always follow my friends when they came here and I had a studio project for one of the buildings in this street also. So yeah, I am quite familiar.

Also this is a great spot for pre-wedding pictures. I saw couples taking their pre wed photos every time. Just to let you know, it’s a good spot for photos. If I were to rate this place, I will put 6/10 😊

The next post will be about Brooklyn Bridge. Wait okay. 😊

It’s already 2020 and I am still on my break. I am so bored and I have nothing to do everyday :( I kept on disturbing Nini many times a day and I think I should stop.

I had two of my friends, Aisyah and Amalin with me until this morning and they actually just left 10 mins ago. Now I am lonely again huh..

Soooooo since I have so much time, I think I want to do reviews of all the places that I have been in New York so that anyone who wants to come here can have a little idea on how the place will be like. Stay tuned guys.

Also, If you guys want me to review places here, I can also do that and maybe I can go there if they’re somewhere haven’t been to. Just comment down below and I will do a special post for each place 💞

Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone!

It's 2.06am now and I'm about to go to sleep but imma share with you guys my winter break experience, which was ...............super great, beyond great la I can say hahah

So actually, I was planning to go to Florida but I postponed my plan for some reasons and ended up staying here in ny for the whole break. The idea of staying in ny is actually something that I really want to avoid since I know how bored it can be but fortunately........ my nini and my best friend were  both here hehe.

I think it's actually them la yg buat my winter trip ni so memorable hmm....But anyways, I was so happy when they were here andd... I learned a lotttt about my sweet guy nini haha. Ingat lagi when he was so menagada nak makan KFC la nak Halal Guys la haha bayangkan dia ni minat sangat halal guys sampai every 2 ke 3 days mesti nak halal guys and he always minta hot chili yg pedas tu banyak banyak 😂One of the funniest thing kan I sumpah almost nak curi je sos barbeque dekat satu groceries store ni but it was actually for the food in the store la. Store tu ada jual readymade food and masa tu Halal guys tak ada barbeque sos. I tak suka la makan halal guys takda barbeque sos. Tapi atas nasihat nini I beli la sos tu dekat kedai just to eat halal guys haha.

And then kan, dgn sebotol sos tu kteorg pergi la makan dekat Concourse Rockefeller center tu haha. Tu pun something yg I tak pernah buat la , siapa je bawa botol sos makan dekat Rockefeller hellooo u what? homeless ke hahaha but it was fun, dengan nini yg macam tahan nak menangis sebab sos Halal Guys dia pedas sangat la ahaha it was funny la. Idk la I boleh tak makan bawak sos if I were with other people.

So that was one, and I have a lot of other stories to share too. Maybe I'll do it later la because I'm so sleepy now. Okay la bbye and thanks for reading!

xoxo.

Hi everyone,
It has been a while since my last post since I am so busy now. Tak pernah satu class pun tak ada assignment lagi lagi untuk studio. Bosannya can I make everything done already? I'm tired.

Actually I sedih la Idk where to say this but I know no one really read my post so I am fine talking about it here. I rasa N macam tak interested nak OPT dekat sini :( Tak tahulah kenapa, instinct. For those who don't know, semua student yg gad dari US ada chance untuk buat OPT, macam kerja la after grad, for a year  (if you got BS) and rasanya I heard that it's only 6 months for BA or BFA like me. I rasa kadang kadang malas juga nak OPT tapi rasa membazir kalau tak grab the opportunity kan?

Btw back to my story, we talked about something else at first but then I came out with this opt thing and N ni macam tak interested pun. Maybe dia busy sebab dia ada due assignment esok tapi hmmm I takut dia memang tak interested nak opt. I will be here for another 2 years and half kot kalau N takda lama macam tu I tak tau la macam mana. The fact that he will be back in Malaysia also scares me a lot since the time is so different in NY and Malaysia. Dekat sini 12 malam dekat malaysia will be 12 tengah hari. Nanti kalau I sibuk excited nak cakap pasal one thing pukul 12 malam dia mesti akan busy ke apa ke sebab dekat sana is 12 tengah hari kan. At least kalau dia opt dekat sini for a year  takdalah I lonely sangat kot idk. Tapi nak opt pun tak senang, kena apply awal awal and a lot of things need to be taken care of e.g rumah, everyday spending. transportation and more. Susah kan?
But it's actually up to him whatever he chose later, but I just hope for the best but of course, I am still hoping that your rezeki is here and you can be here with me, at least in the US.

Hi Assalamualikum,
It's me again.... maybe people have been wondering where I am now sebab kadang kadang I dekat Chicago. kadang kadang Indiana kadang kadang macam dekat campus kan, the answer is.... campus. I'm back guys. Which is so sad. I started my fist week as a sophomore and it was quite intense. There was a day when I actually questioned why I am studying Interior Design but I managed to get over it so don't worry. So macam ni la rasanya orang yang questioned their major okay now I get it. Nini pun pernah cakap banyak kali dia tak tau kenapa dia ambil econs, sama la dengan Nabiela tapi dyorang nak habis dah so takpe lah. Ulfa je yang tinggal dekat sini for another 3 years. Btw, now I macam dah dapat the routine every week and I know when to start doing the work and when to stop to lessen the workload so harapnya this semester takkan ada masalah la.

I wanna try not to feel sad for the fact that I am here, alone in my school ever again and make myself busy with the assignment so that I will not even have a chance to think about it. I punya tahap sedih mengada ngada tu kadang kadang macam sampai menyusahkan orang je. I sampai suruh Amalin ikut balik NY la nini ikut la semua orang la I suruh, but at last I okay je after a week. I sedih la mula mula sampai tu sebab dah la rumah kosong, pastu I tak ada barang sangat except for the ones yang I bawak dari rumah Biha so hmmm memang lonely la. Tapi I rasa I should be thankful to my friends and my bb because they were there when I need them so Thank you and please keep doing that :) Oh ya, dekat sini I found a Malay girl, Malay malay tau I was so happy, I rasa macam nak jerit je every time jumpa tu because I am so happy that I know someone from Malaysia in this school. Tapi dia graduate student in ID but okay la still I ada kawan. So I am looking forward to do a lot of things with her hehe and I sangatlah excited.

Goodnight!!

Hi!

I am so excited for this sem to finish!!!!!!
Hehe penat la bosan asyik belajar benda yang sama je I rasa there were times yang rasa sangat la susah nak buat assignment ada yang senang sangat, tak balance kan? Tapi apa apa pun esok adalah my first and last exam lepastu ada final critique on Monday. Final critique selalunya tak ada apa pun critique macam biasa je and the good news about it issssss, I have already finished with the project! hehe. Ada la sikit kena touch up color dia but I can do it on the weekend rasanya since that is the only thing I need to do for school.

Tapi tapi tapiii, I kena kemas barang, kena kemas rumah sebab I kena move out on May 9. Actually let's say May 8 sebab that's my inspection date. So by 8 o clock May 8, I kena siap kemas sebab appoinment I pukul 8. Soo it's a lot. A lot... mana nak pack barang mana nak mop lantai nak cuci toilet cuci dapur OMG so many things already. Tapi I think I can start this weekend la I rasa sebab tak ada kerja sangat selain final 3D yang I dah siap tu.

Sebenarnya I tengah cari jalan untuk relax sikit sebab I have been studying since after lunch kan, macam nk muntah je ingat Monet la Manet la Kandinsky la Duchamp la Picasso la semua laaaa eeeeee penat. I DM nini through Twitter pastu dia hilang ntah mana ntah so I assume dia ada class je la kot. I selalu je lupa class dia bila hahaha last sem I macam ingat la.. macam.. tapi this sem macam tak tau langsung. So takpelah, I pun decide nak tulis blog.

Oh yes btw I promised to show you guys my birthday presents kan but I forgot. Hehe later when I kemas kemas tu I'll show you guys la. I love all the presents. Alllll! Thank you everyone. Most of them are actually unexpected la so Thank you sangat sangat at least I tak sedih sangat la tak dapat blow candle this year.

Okay so tu je la, I kena mandi dah petang and kena sambung study balik. I have an exam at 1 tomorrow and it's art history guys. Sama la macam sejarah tapi sejarah art sahaja but I need to write 3 essays kot esok. Yes 3..2 compare and contrast and 1 essay biasa so doakan la I dapat A. Harini I dah dapat grade untuk LCD and it's an A-... boleh laa. I target I dpt full mark la kot final art history ni sebab I lost few marks on other things already. Wish me luck okay!

(gambar adalah sekadar hiasan, it's me at Dumbo)

I actually got the title from one of my birthday wishes and I think it sounds so sweet and cool. Haha adalah orangnya I can't tell you guys.

So Hiiii

It's my birthday! 
So today Im gonna share about how I feel knowing that my birthday is coming.
This week kan I feel so excited since Monday, the last week of March, because I considered my birthday as a big day la because that is the only day where people appreciate me more than the regular days. So I was excited and I do everything ahead of time so that I can become a queen on that special day. But actually I didn't feeling well the whole week since I had sore throat moreover everyday after I wake up. It sucks I hate it! So what I did was.. I minum a lotttttt of plain water so that I can regain my good mood everyday. So itulah. Day by day I rasa more excited and on Friday,
I got a present. I got an Aldo sling bag and it was from Biha. That was when my happiest moment of the week started hehe. I know I will get a few more from people I cherish so Im still in my good mood. Tapi kan I feel a bit lonely since I am alone and I didn't go out the whole day. So, I called everyone la and I actually hope that ni will be with me now since it's my birthday after all. It's once a year guys that's why it's so meaningful. Patutnya kan ni and his friends come this week for a vacation but they could not do that since the tickets were so expensive. Boleh balik Malaysia punya expensive okay. It was 500-800 per person la if I'm not mistaken so if I were him pun I wouldn't want to go either. 

By the way I would like to thank everyone for the wishes, they are all so warm that it comforts my cold day here so thank you so much. To the one who called me right during the midnight east time thank you I appreciate it so much (you know who you are), for the wishes I got from instagram, twitter, facebook, whatsapp thank you so much (so many I couldn't mention each of you but thanks), for the ones from the another part of the world, UK, India and Malaysia thank you jugak, I terharu la orang ingat birthday I so thank you!!!

I'm actually so excited to wait for Amalin's present since she doesn't tell me what it's gonna be and also from ni but I can't wait. I will update you guys later on what I got. 

Thank you for reading, now it's the end of April first, which means the end of my special day, so I hope I can a better person, solehah sikit, be a good daughter, sister, friend and I hope I will get everything I desire this year. 

See you in part 2. (haha acah famous sangat okay bye)
