The story of current perfection

Assalamualaikum...Hi!

These past days I've been wandering on internet and somehow browsing through sometime.asia.

I've found this bag I think I'll love.

It is the ESMOON bag!

The half moon shape, though it can stand, the size, the sturdiness, the most exciting part is the colour selection!

Too much colour! Too hard to decide!

And the price tag isn't that hefty.

And....

The most unique part is we can add personalization feature for MYR39...which means you can choose any words in 10 characters with certain punctuation marks like full stop, comma, apostrophe etc.

Fyi, this is pre-order bags which means it isn't readily available and you have to order the bag in order for them to make it available for you.

This Esmoon is made of premium synthetic leather, and also semi-handmade.

At first I want the red wine/maroon colour, then I think it's better for me to buy other colour that suits my upcoming baju raya, which brought me to buy the olive colour. 

Then I asked my sister's opinion whether or not to personalize my bag, she said no cause the name can't be seen from afar unless you come near it and actually read it.

I finally complete the purchase of the Esmoon Olive bag without personalization.

The unusual empty feeling crept on me right after I completed the purchase unlike those excited feeling I usually feel.

Which brought me to email the sometime.asia if I can add personalization feature.

Thank God they accepted my request and asked me to transfer MYR39 to them.

The bag is supposed to arrive on May 4th onward since this is the pre-ordered bag and I purchased it on April 20th.

However, on April 25th, sometime.asia suddenly emailed me the shipping details which means my Esmoon is on its way to me!! I'm so nervous and palpitated I don't understand why.

Probably because it came way earlier, and I wondered if the bag will disappoint me. This is my second time purchasing bags online. The first time was when I bought the Guess sling bag which was a bit frustrating as the shoulder strap is so long, and I just can't simply tebuk extra holes and make the strap remains to be extra long and disturbing aesthetically. 

And I'm so nervous if Esmoon would do the same to me. You better not!

What an intense waiting on April 26th the very next day, as the Poslaju stated that it had been sent out for delivery around 1.58pm and none of  abang Poslaju appeared on my doorstep even until 5.00 freaking pm!

What is this? 

Then, only after 5.30pm the Poslaju popped in front of my door. So late eh you abang, is it that far from P.O Kepala Batas to my house?

Anyway thank you!

even the packaging is so sturdy!

see! None of dents appear on my Esmoon! the material is nice and sturdy and soft almost imitating real leather.

it comes with a dust bag to keep the bag when not in use

the front slit pocket

the back slit pocket is very essential for every bag, cause you don't need to open it to take out things that frequently used such as phone or passport and boarding passes if you're in the airport, or some cards or passes that you need to use often. And back slit is more secure than the one in front.

the inside, another slit pocket and zipped pocket. Overall, so far this bag has good criteria for organization.

the tightly screwed button to adjust the strap

the hardware is of good material, doesn't look cheap

my name!! FAEZAH F. so sentimental to me.

finally, some holes for my pins my sister bought me in Amsterdam! 

it fits fair much things. My 20cm-long purse, a novel-thick medical pocket book, a small note book, some papers, my thin powerbank and cable. I still can put inside my lipstick, my travel face mist and probably my compact powder. 

to pre-housemanship course in Kepala Batas Hospital. I think this is longest strap bag for good function. Longer than this caused instability, hard to carry, and  also need me to actually lift the bag a bit for my hands to reach the bag to take out things from it.

This is definitely an easy bag.

me hanging out with mami. I hope my cheek can supply me energy throughout those hungry housemanship period.

ootd by mami! This is the shortest the strap can go, though the longest isn't that long and can be slung beautifully.

If you need an easy bag, uncomplicated, no extra messy long straps, compact to carry, light-weight, doesn't cost you your kidney, can be personalized, can be used beautifully to occasion like wedding or dinner to rugged activity like jungle trekking, of good material and variety colour, this is the bag you need!

Long story short, Esmoon is so good functionally and aesthetically. 

Check out sometime.asia to purchase!

Till then. Goodbye!

how being rich is always a privilege

Assalamualaikum...Hi!

Some people they don't understand how being rich is a privilege. It's not even a difficult math if you learn their lifestyle and how are their upbringing.

And secondly how education is always important.

Let me elaborate some points that you may or may not know.

Given Ali, a bright kid, who was born into a government worker parents and Danish who is also a bright kid, and was luckily born into a huge corporate persona father and a housewife mother.

Ali was sent into a common kindergarten like everybody else.

Danish instead was sent into a an international kindergarten like every vip's kids.

Ali was surrounded by native Bahasa speakers only. While Danish started to speak English the day he started speaking.

At school where almost every science subjects are in English, Danish understood everything better. 

While Ali always has to look up to dictionary to understand well.

This is the very beginning of the journey, Ali already doubled the effort in order to achieve same outcome as Danish's.

Result's out. Both of them achieve the same.

Long story short, both of them pursue in university. Ali goes with government scholarship. While Danish was funded by his parents. Even if Danish wants scholarship, his father knows someone who shortlists the scholarship applicants.

Even after studying, Ali has to work under others, while Danish can replace his father.

Can you see how being rich is a privilege.

This is my story.

I know being a primary school teacher's child is actually a privilege until I set my foot to secondary school.

Thank God my secondary school aren't the school for rich and VVIP kids, even if there's any, you can count them.

So, I don't really feel the inferiority until I continued my studies in Alexandria University.

If you think the private students are only of those who come from rich family, you need to look back.

After thorough learning, I understand that even the MARA students, are mostly come from rich families or someone who can afford higher quality of life. 

I know that MARA is supposed to help those bright students who can't afford to study abroad without scholarship, but you can't deny because MARA didn't set the maximum family income in order to be sponsored. The most important is the good result.

However if you read the paragraph above, you'll learn that ordinary kids always have to double up their effort in order to achieve the same result as the rich kids'. Still we haven't studied the genetics that if their parents are rich because of their brains, the kids will almost always inherit the brains. 

And that's what I learnt, because if you ask my friends, at least 1/3 of the whole have parents doctor.

And for the remaining even if they're not doctors, they are the people with excellent education background. 

Which almost agree to the theory in which kids almost always inherit parents' intelligence.

Maybe the sample size is narrow, though my sample is precise.

I know some people thought my family knows someone who deal with MARA scholarship, as both my sister and I are sponsored, because there's not much out there, who are sponsored and whose siblings are also sponsored unless their family know somebody.

My parents are primary school teachers and I can guarantee you we know nobody who can secure scholarship quote for us. 

And for that we thank God and are so grateful.

The other stories.

I think I'll choose Vivy Yusof as my example. She was born with silver spoon in her mouth, and also a bright girl. Because I learnt that she took both SPM and A Levels simultaneously and got A's for everything. Very impressive.

I also learnt that she purchased all the luxury stuff she had using her father's substitute credit card.

And finally gathered all knowledge she knows about high end fashion and put it into creative ideas which consequently forming Fashion Valet and Duckscarves. 

If you want to see her struggling like how we ordinary people struggle for things, you're pleased to do so.

But if you want to see how being rich is always a privilege, you may want to proceed.

First, she was blessed to be sent into school with excellent reputation. I know how superior it feels to be in excellent school of district, let alone being in a school like SSP and Seri Cempaka International School. So the self esteem checked!

We all know top school gives top education, which can help you score in exams. And what add to it is intelligence. Top school+top education+intelligence= voila very very educated student!
Congrats you are now an excellent student in academic with high self esteem. Checked!

Her father is hella rich! He could sponsor her to study the A Level in the same year she took SPM, when there's no scholarship for her batch yet, to do A Level and even after the result's out, no one is sent abroad to do the A Level or IB using the sponsorship, except in special case like Dr Amalina Che Bakri who got 17A1 and sponsored by Bank Negara. Hence, I think if there're
 many of us given opportunity to do things like Vivy. Scoring all A's for SPM and the very next year A Level is common things like how commoners the SPM straight A's scorers are among us.

To start up business, when she found out how cruel life is to just graduated degree holders, she mentioned she was using all the savings she and her boyfriend-now-husband had, which were around RM14k, which we know all the savings came from parents. How do you save if you have to buy food on your own, paying for utilities on your own, paying rent on your own? By that time, she lived with her everything-is-ready-parents-house and collected many designer's handbags and apparels and shoes during studying in the UK. Do you really think, fashion and taste can be built up without being exposed to the luxurious brand with top designers? Because people say money can't buy high and expensive taste, but they never realize it does to those who really use money to look up for fashion.

And Vivy was one of them. She used her parents money to look up to high end fashion. Have you ever realized the early-20's Vivy who always donned luxury brands looked like she was in her late 20's to early 30's. Because luxury brands produce and design clothes and bags to those who can afford them, by which those 30's are expected to be the youngest age with good income range to afford those hefty price tags. But Vivy could afford it in her early 20's. And even now, I genuinely don't understand the hype to wear things like Vivy, because all I can see is 'mak cik' style I'm sorry.
If it's not for the branded handbags and shoes and self-branding scarf, and good lighting and angle and good camera, all that left is the makcik going to pasar style. And those who are really into this style is my age and below. However, everyone is entitled to your decision.

I think people now understand how being rich is always a privilege. I don't hate Vivy. In fact, I adore her attitude! She's just an example to the point I brought up today.

Till then. Goodbye!
