Rasa tak cukup masa? Nak lebih dari 24 jam?

Assalamualaikum & Hi,

Pernah tak rasa tak cukup masa? Rasa baru lagi pergi jumpa supervisor bentangkan kemajuan thesis... esok lusa ni dah nak kena jumpa lagi. Seminggu rasa kejap sangat!

Kalau boleh, nak lebih dari 24 jam.

Tapi lagi banyak masa pun belum tentu cukup. It's actually to make the most out of it. I learned it hard way. In fact, at times ada jugak rasa nak mengeluh. But it won't help a bit. Move on. Dari duduk mengenangkan nasib...baik kita chin up and try to do something. An inch of progress pun progress jugak kan...

Mental reminder to myself.

Don't lose focus.
Don't lose focus.
Don't lose focus.
Don't lose focus.
Don't lose focus.

P/s: I'm grateful to have family and friends who are understanding with my situation right now. Alhamdulillah.
Since this PhD journey, I have developed new interest. Salah satu nya menulis khat. Macam kat atas dalam gambar tu lah. I will write some quran verses, dhikr, doa and etc. It's actually help me to feel relax somehow. :-)

Make your own photo props

Assalamualaikum & Hi,

See that photo props? Yeah, made those myself. And I'm proud of it. Given time, resources and other constraints.....siap jugak malam sebelum birthday kenduri the boys bulan lepas.

Actually, if you are the less rajin type can just order it online. Tengok instagram for #photoboothprops or #photopropsmalaysia
I have seen some insta sellers are selling per piece RM3...kalau mahal sikit ada yang jual 10 pieces sekali for RM60! There are different sizes, materials being used and customized designs. Meriah korang!

I got ideas to make my own version from hashtags tu lah... pastu pergi beli barang:

- glue gun and the glue stick (RM16.90 + RM4)
- Kain felt pelbagai warna beli dekat Daiso (RM10)
- Model Card - White color (RM3.50)
- satay stick - tak jumpa dowel (RM3)

Additional barang required which already ada dekat rumah:
- pencil (for drawing purpose)
- Cutter/knife
- scissors
- Marker pen/ magic color and etc

If only banyak masa, can even decorate with glitters and other artsy stuffs...which usually boleh beli from art shops, DAISO and etc....

I googled, Youtubed...to see how to make one...and finally I made 13-14 pieces of them (some already missing in the picture). Senang je korang nak buat ni rupanya. Tapi kena creative sikit lah. If you can't draw ..fret not... sebab ada je website yang bagi free template such as this one from Personal Creations.

1. Print/draw the design on a paper/felt
2. Cut it out
3. Paste it on model card (optional for flimsy ones)
4. Fix dowel/satay stick using glue gun

Done!
