New hijab style that i tried out today. Have been so hesitant to try this without the 'peak' that i have always adopted ever since i started wearing my hijab. I think it makes my face look so round. But my mum bought me two of these beautiful shawls (it was $30 each...) and she have been bugging me to try them. I finally mustered the courage to trying wearing it out to school. I wore it once but i did it in a rush and it was quite.. messy. The second time i wore was when i went out with my mum and brother to town. That was alright, but still didn't feel comfortable in it (i felt like running home the minute we reached town). But today, i took my time to wrap and pin and i'm quite satisfied with it. Obviously it was hard to manage with the weird looks my friends gave me in school (because for 2 years plus they saw me with the 'peak'. HAHAHA) but it was okay. Wonder if my lecturer recognised me also. HAHAHA. Anyway, i bought the long skirt at Uniqlo just this Monday. Love it!

You know there are times when the devil tries to tell me that i shouldn't have started wearing the hijab? I suppose everyone would have had that experience before. "Look around you, don't you feel weird?" The journey though, has been amazing. I thank God everyday to have given me this .. enlightenment to wear the hijab. And i'm thankful that my parents have been constantly telling me to wear my hijab properly. It wasn't easy also, the journey. A lot of obstacles, a lot of tears. But it was what my dad said that hit me and brought me to my senses. MashaAllah.

Family gathering tomorrow to usher in the holy month of Ramadhan. Am looking forward to that and my relatives and cousins as well. InsyaAllah!

, osn.
