it’s been a while

Wow, it has been so long since the last time I wrote and posted something on my blog. Creating and posting on blog was really a thing back then when I was 14, and I remembered regarding my blog as my online diary where I alternately updated it when I felt like it. But the thing is, as times flew and I happened to find something to revert me from blogging, I finally realised that not all things could be delivered and conveyed through words and writings, and maybe some things are better left unsaid, I guess? So I stopped posting and ended up deleting all my previous posts. Fast forward years later, I’m currently 19 years old, majoring in English at International Islamic University Malaysia, and happened to take a subject (usrah budi 1) that requires me to create a blog and post something on it, and here I am. I might end up deleting this post when the semester ends but anything for assessment, yeah? 

Anyways, here’s a current pic of mine 🤠

The task was to write something about yourself and gotta admit that I suck at that. Of course the basic is your name, birthdate, your family, favourite food yadda yadda but i feel like there’s more to write and describe about yourself. (y’all I better stop spurting nonsense here bcs it’s currently 2:41 am and i got early morning class tmrw) p/s: i really talk a lot.

Okay
Name given is Maryam Shofia bt Mohd Nasir, and i prefer people to call me Maryam. In my 19 years of life, only a few people (not more than 10) call me Shofia hence I’m still awkward if people call me by that name 🤪. I’m a 03-ic holder, and was born on 13th July 1999 (july babies are cool). I’m the fourth child out of seven, and is the eldest daughter of the family and my family calls me ‘kakak’ because I’m the eldest daughter (redundancy but go off yeah). Family is everything for me, and making them happy is what all matters for me. And oh, i love cats too. Dropping off a pic of my cat below, his name is Tom and he’s a good boy plus a cutie. Not being dramatic but I’d take a bullet for him. My fav boy;

I find solitude in writing things and listening to music, and I often get it from people around me that I’m quite an emotional person (I hope it’s not in a bad way) you can see me weep and being sensitive over some sad, sappy songs and seeing my mood and energy boost up after listening to any upbeat songs. My favourite band is Seventeen, and if you’re free please check up their songs (masterpieces) And for writing, I guess that’s what I do best? I remembered back then when I was in my spm days and my favourite subject was English, bcs i really love writing essays and I received lots of encouraging compliments rom my teacher (I’m not bragging, just feeling the need to say it...) ((please don’t hate me already)) but i have to admit that ever since i enrolled into uni life, i rarely write and my skills worsen day by day. And now that I’m majoring in English, maybe I should start writing and reading again. And apparently my bestfriend, Adneen is a good writer and I’ve always loved her writing and she inspires me to write again. 

Btw, for this subject, my group was assigned to make an info-graphic poster about our lessons and ours happened to be the week 4 lesson; which is about Surah al-Fatir, verse 15-28. These

verses contained so many inputs from it which can benefit us with.

Attached above is the picture of our poster which has been made by my amazing groupmates. I hope you like it! It’s getting late now and i need to head out to bed. Thank you for sparing some of your time to read this. I hope everyone is happy and may Allah ease everything that awaits for you. Better days for everyone ahead, assalamualaikum and bye bye 💛
