August Favourites | 2019

August was cool. I did a lot of stuff with my family and my ultimate favourite has to be our trip to Changlun. I've only heard of it and never actually been to that part of the north. I'm planning to write a full post about it but then I remembered I didn't really took enough pictures for that so we'll see how that goes, maybe a short recap of everything instead of a full post. Back to the main topic, my favourites in August. I must say this is like the first time where I didn't put up many food photos like I always did every other month. This is a very short one and yes, no NCT this month. I'm tired of those idiots sometimes. So, here's my August Favourites.

MOTM: SIXTEEN CANDLES (1984)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This movie came out in the 80s that was why I didn't even know this movie existed, until Lara Jean (Lana Condor) from To All The Boys I've Loved Before mentioned it about the hand-in-the-back-pocket-opening-image and this being her favourite movie. Then The Rock mentioned it in Central Intelligence movie as one of his favourite movie too. I searched for this movie high and low and I finally found it in HD *good job Tqa*.

I did watched it that night all by myself and it was good! But The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink is still my favourite with Molly Ringwald in it, and The Kissing Booth. I know TKB doesn't count but I like seeing her in it. Regardless, this movie will be in my chick flicks folder.

NEW KEYBOARD COVER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Decided to ditch the pink keyboard cover since I used that long enough and go back to basic with black cover and I love how it feels on my skin. The pink one has a bit sticky material but this one is smooth, a high quality-like silicone. The best thing about this cover and the pink one is that it grips the keyboard nice and tight, better than the Monocozzi cover that I bought from Machine (Malaysia Apple Store) which always move around if I type too fast. Can you believe it if I say that I got the Monocozzi keyboard for RM160 while the better two for only RM3 (pink) and RM6 (black)? I guess some expensive stuff isn't that great after all. Same goes with earphones but that's a different story that I will surely share one day with you guys. Sometimes the cheaper the items, the better.

WASHI TAPES (GIVEAWAY PRIZES)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I won a giveaway last month and blog about it here. These one is my ultimate favourite from last month. I already used one one of them because the colour is so pretty I just couldn't resist. I need more ideas to pop in my head fast so I could create more bujo spread using other colours from this set too. I might going to look for more inspirations on pinterest or instagram for a little bit of boost.

SISTER'S OPEN SANDWICH

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
My sister and I loveeee diet food and we love to experiment with different tastes and lately she's into open sandwiches and organic button mushroom. She kept making open sandwiches for me every time she did hers and so far, this is my favourite. I love the tangy taste of the roasted sesame salad dressing paired with the button mushroom and scrambled eggs. And we often use breads from Family Mart because it's milk bread and you can taste it in every bite. It was really good and easy to make.

TRIP TO THE NORTH & A WEDDING

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is my first time travel to the furthest part of the north. Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia buy I have yet explore the 10% of the if. I mean I went to Kuala Perlis before but never the other part like Kangar or Arau. We used to go there only to wait for ferry to carry us and our car to Langkawi Island or Tioman Island but this time it was totally different. I get to actually explore the state. I traveled with brother-in-law's family, with 4 cars we convoyed all the way from Taiping to Changlun near Bukit Kayu Hitam for his 3rd brother's wedding. We were there for 3D2N. And right after the wedding on the 2nd day, we headed to Kangar for I don't even remember what, it was boring that day, I think it was Titi Gantung or something like that. From one part to another take such a long drive that all I could remember was sitting in the car longer than sleeping in our guesthouse. And on the last day, before heading back to Taiping, they brought me to Padang Besar for a little shopping. I was super excited to eat all the food especially 'Lokching' (did I spell that correctly?) but sadly, for 3 days I was there, I couldn't find a single stall that sell Lokching, like wth??

The best part of the trip is that our accommodation is just a few feet away from Malaysia - Thailand border and I totally forgot to bring my passport otherwise we would have gone there for a little more shopping. It was a nice trip with 6 big families that I know I will never have. Instead of food shopping, I ended up bought a giant Didi soft toys from Didi & Friends for my little baby Jayden and lots of mini apples and mini grapes for my dad back home. Kat KL mahal nok benda alah tu.
So basically we were all over the state, one minute in Kedah and the next we were in Perlis and all of a sudden we're back in Kedah yadayada.. but it was fun.

MUJI NOTEBOOK

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I promised on my previous post to share the last look of my Muji notebook and here it is. It's so ugly and so 'me'. I like anything that looks messy and different from other people. I purposely decorated it with a bunch of stickers I got from every parts of the world and most of them related to NCT. It's a mess but I like it that way because it's easier for me to distinguishes between other same design notebooks that I have. This messy one is for random note taking and for blogging. I write everything here first before typing it down on my laptop. That way I could save time from zoning out in front of the screen trying to find the right words.

That's it for my August favourites. I personally thought it would consist lots of food photos but Alhamdulillah last month I didn't spend that much on food since my sister often fixed my meal. This month, although it's too early to tell but I already have some favourites written in that ugly notebook of mine in case I'd forgot about it. I also have a few movies in my list that I look forward to watch. Time went by so fast that sometime I think I had a hard time catching up.

How was your August? Thank you for reading. Much love, T.
