I've been staying at home for almost two months now and doing pretty much nothing, except for some house chores. My initial post SPM plan was to get a job once I get my driving license, but due to some circumstances I did not get to start my driving class as soon as I'd like to, but still; better late than never, huh? I attended the 6-hour long course last Saturday and will be taking my computer test this Saturday, insha Allah. This means I would have around a month or so until I get my driving license, which means I'll be stuck at home for at least another month. So I thought to myself, why not try to do something creative? Something I'd enjoy doing, something I don't mind spending my time and money for. Something that will result in immense satisfaction once I get everything done. And then it dawned on me. My bedroom.

I began sleeping on my own when I was ten, so that would mean I've been using this bedroom for seven years. I am not exactly a neat freak, so most of the time my room is somewhere in between messy and spotless. However, in those 7 years I have gathered quite a number of reference books, exercise books, exam papers and homework papers which I have been keeping in several boxes in my room. I also have bought a lot of clothes in that period of time (well of course) which filled up my clothes cupboard to the brim. Besides all that, I also have some drawers of things I haven't sorted out for a while now. So I talked to my mom and she agreed to install an air cond (this was her idea, istg i didn't ask for this) and paint my room once I have finished clearing out everything. Woohoo!

So I began sorting out clothes that no longer fit and those I no longer wear, stacking old papers (i still have my UPSR exercise papers, idek) to be sold to the recycle centre, putting away some books to hand down to my younger cousins, et cetera et cetera. So far I've been doing good, I think. I've cleared out 90% of my stuffs in the bedroom and all there's left to clear is some other boxes under my bed. Those are mostly my mom's stuffs so I guess I'll let her choose the stuffs she still uses and I'll clear the rest. So yeah, there's really not much left for me to do.

In the meantime, I guess I'll have to decide on a nice colour for my bedroom. In all honesty, I love pink but I don't think I'd love to have a pink room. I want to settle on a nice, elegant colour which shows some maturity and is somehow feminine. I've been thinking perhaps light purple/lavender or turquoise. Do you guys have any suggestions? Please do comment if you do, alright? :)

I guess that's it for now. I'll keep updating from time to time.

Cheers,

Hey there.

Today's the ninth day of 2016, and here goes my first post here.

Bismillah.

I've actually been blogging since I was eleven but I never really managed to stick to one blog. At some point I somehow got rather bored of my own blog and my old posts but I did not want to delete the posts; so I decided to begin a new blog again and again. This is my newest so far and as I'm beginning it in a whole new year, I hope this one will last for quite long.

So hi, I'm Hanis. Athirah is my middle name but somehow I prefer using that name for online purposes. I'm turning eighteen this July. I've just finished my SPM last November and am now currently having the longest holiday yet in my entire life. I'm the eldest in the family and I have a 12 y/o younger brother. I am a passionate reader and as you might have guessed, I love to write as well. I love blogging, to be honest, it's just that sometimes I get too busy and all that I barely have time to write, and when I finally do, my old posts were like several months ago and that made me feel like I have to go back to square one. I began reading at the age of three and I used to write stories but I never actually got to finish any. I love book series, mostly and among my favourites are the Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson and Divergent. I am a dedicated Potterhead, if you're wondering. Sometimes I watch vlogs on YouTube but they're mostly fitness-related vlogs 'cause I am (very) overweight and desperately need to lose plenty of weight. I play netball well, and I like swimming a lot although I am a total novice at it. I attended swimming class some two years back but I never really mastered the swimming techniques. I just love water, I suppose.

I don't really know what else to tell about me; I think all of those above pretty much sums up who I am. So I guess I'm ending this here and I'll write more later. Let's just hope that I'll have the time and the mood to write regularly.

Cheers,
H
