The Syakirah Project : Day 6

UPDATE : Oh my God it's already sold out! Sorry for those who missed it just by a few seconds. The 4 signed copies will go to these fast typers: Nur Fatin Atiqah (via Facebook) Ila Syamila (via Blogspot) Shahril (via Twitter) Nur Searcher (via Twitter) This post shall be witness since my memory cannot be relied upon when it comes to remembering names. Thanks again! *** So, the agreement is printed and done. I am going to post it tomorrow because I just like to do that you know? It would probably give me some rest. This whole book ordeal is working up my nerves and I am pretty sure I'll be getting a serious case of anxiety soon if I don't get it out of my sight. For someone who's about to sit for an exam in 2 weeks plus time, extreme feelings must be avoided at all costs, especially not anxiety. The book is finally in stock and I am informed that the author will get only 5 personal copies of the book. I am planning to keep only ONE to myself and I wil

Qalu, "RabbunAllah!" thumma istiqamu!

I just did my first planking for 2 minutes and I feel like I've been jogging for 30 minutes. I did it in two halves so one minute each with a few seconds rest in between(more like panting, gasping for air). I feel that I need to strengthen myself which is the sole reason I'm starting on this exercise. It's worth the pain. Give it a try.  (pausing because my arms hurt like hell) So. This morning I received a call from Aisyah Syakirah (she's a famous vlogger in case you didn't know) and we were chatting and all when I suddenly felt the urge to tell her about my inner conflicts regarding my book. Basically all anxiety is far reduced now. Alhamdulillah. I just need to see the bigger picture I guess. Sometimes, I feel that I don't get why people are flocking to my blog just to read what I write. I feel useless as a Muslim and I feel so lacking in knowledge that I feel that my entries are of no benefit to the people who reads it. But I guess, it seems t

Can I like, scream now?

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** I was just lazily browsing when I saw this on my book publisher's website. http://mustread.com.my/v1/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=185 When I saw this I was like, wait, and instantly my heart goes all doki doki. To think that I found out about my own book through the website. Sigh. But OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT*slaps self* there, I'm calm again. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mencari Dia Yang Satu by The Rocking Hijab. "Sometimes we can't just say "Allah has a better plan for us."  We have to believe He does."

So, about the book...

What I just did : Making notes for leukemia Bismillah. Well, I don't really know if everyone knew about this but yeah, I wrote a book. Do not ask me about the title etc because I don't even know myself. There's a major editing going on and I wonder how the final manuscript would look like. I mean, would it still be me or what? It's like plastic surgery, but only on my book.  So anyway, a publisher contacted me back in January (I think) and told me that they would love to publish my Siapa Tuhan Saya series, oh spoilers alert, it's going to be in Malay. But it won't really be the same since I've made quite a lot of changes, a few details here, snip a wee bit there, and the original copy of the whole series was made of 20 pages so in order to make it publishable, I had to add like, 40 more(?) or else it wouldn't even pass as a novel. Since you know that I blog in English, this is a real pain in my bleep to actually compose another 40 pages in Ma
