one big thing before i turn 20

    Posted in life as i know it by

    August is almost finished. Only 11 days left, can you believe it? (Well seriously 2011, slow down!) So far, my resolution for this year is done well. As you might have noticed, in January I started wearing more proper headscarf. That’s my only resolution: to wear better clothes. How about your resolution(s)?

    Eight months have passed very quickly, and I’m sure October will come sooner than a blink of an eye and then *pop!* I will turn 20! Yesss, my friends, I’m 2 months and a week away from the age of 20. My teenage life will be over in just 2 months and a week. I really want to make the best out of it.

    Lately I’ve been thinking about what I’ve done in my life so far. A lot of fun, but there have been several heart breaks too. A couple of good deeds, and a lot of sins. Making a bunch of friends and a whole truck of enemies. Loving several things and hating more things. All that makes me who I am today.

    I have done so many things. Many, many things. But I have never finished reading the Holy Quran. It’s such a shame. Many people my age have finished reading it, not once, not twice, but many times. And some of them even memorise it! I finished reading The Da Vinci Code in less than 24 hours. I’ve re-read Deathly Hallows so many times. But I’m stuck in the 6th juz of the Holy Quran. God, where have I been? What have I done? :'(

    Now, my friends, here’s my goal:

    I will finish reading the Holy Quran before I turn 20.

    I still have 2 months and a week to do this, right? I will give it my all. I will do it. InshaAllah.

    Come here and be my cheerleaders!

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    independence day

    Posted in memories, social thingy by

    My lovely country is getting older. It turned 66 yesterday. However, since it’s Ramadan, we didn’t celebrate it the way we usually do. There was no people’s party in my neighbourhood. (In fact, my neighbourhood was very quiet yesterday.) It was the second time in a row that the Independence Day was in Ramadan. Last year we had a small tournament for children, but this year, there was absolutely nothing.

    I have some pictures from two years ago. This is how we usually celebrate the Independence Day.

    Independence Day is usually fun fun fun. Maybe next year we will have a party again 🙂

    MERDEKA!

    iftar with honeybees

    Posted in eating, girl friends by

    Have I told you that my girl friends rock? Oh well, they really do. I love them so much!

    And today, we had iftar together at Gokkana Teppan, Ciwalk. Too bad Boyan and Day couldn’t come, so there were only me, Entin, and Mira. But we had fun, though. Here are some pictures 🙂

    This one’s taken by MyTubo. Do you have an account? Follow me! 😀

    Anyways, I’ve been feeling a little bit prettier lately. Look at my pinky outfit for the iftar today XD

    Do you fast? How has Ramadan been so far for you?

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    i miss you (+ sponsorship info)

    Busy, but still got time to take pictures = me

    Whoa! August won’t let me take a breath!

    The good thing is… today is the last day of sanlat. I hope it means that I will not be as busy as I was these past weeks. I have abandoned this blog for too long. I even missed yesterday’s Quoted Saturday. I’m sooo sad 🙁

    Also, on August 27th my family and I are going to Nyai’s house in Lampung and stay there for Lebaran until one week after it. Last time I went there, there was no internet connection. So to prepare for the worst, I’m not gonna accept any sponsor for September. Sponsorship will be re-open in late September for the month of October. I’m really sorry 🙁

    Oh and before I forget, I want to say hi to my newest followers. Hi! Thanks for following me! 😀

    I’ll see you (very, very) soon!

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    PS. Mr Boyfriend’s dad is hospitalised. Please keep your thoughts and prayers on him and his family 🙁
