Song of the month: Carve My by Favela ft Nick Brewer

I discovered so many songs this month! Thanks once again to Spotify radio and playlists haha. I love the discoveries of this month because they are very varied! From electronic, to pop and Indie pop.

But as mentioned in my previous post, FPATF takes the award this month!

Alrighty just a really short post cause as usual, the end of the month is a very busy time for me! Pretty excited for July, it's somehow my favourite month of the year. Also my favourite lunar month. Also a few great albums that I've been anticipating are released next month woohoo. I hope June has been treating you well. 6 more months to go to 2020, 6 more superb months for us! :)

Carve Me

My favourite lyrics from Carve Me, ft Nick Brewer

Favela released a collaborative album back on the 30th of May called A Thousand Fibres and man, it's another beautiful album from him! To my the title of the album is very fitting. This album, or I mean the songs of this album, are like a thousand emotional fibres woven into a warm cozy blanket that envelopes the heart. As usual the album is one hell of an emotional ride! Congratulations to Favela and all the artists involved in this album for the phenomenal album!

Even though the album was released in May, I'm gonna put it in the June's list since it's on the last day haha. And I've been enjoying listening to this album during the holiday.

I really enjoyed the whole album in general but some songs stood out for me. They are Carve Me, Rusks and Wine, You Say, Sparrow and Fool Again. Especially Carve Me, which is a song that really made me emotional and empowered at the same time after listening to it!

Favela has been one of my favourite artists/songwriter that I discovered in the past few years. And he's definitely inside my top 10 favourite musician list of my life. I discovered him back in 2015, and it was a purely serendipitous and grateful discovery that I made! I remember back in 2015 I used to listen to Soundcloud to discover new music. And one fateful night, Favela's Easy Yoke played on shuffle in Soundcloud and wow I just fell in love with it right away.

After a few searches on YouTube, I discovered his social media pages and also his bandcamp! Which I bought Easy Yoke at. Now his Bandcamp page is no longer active. And his old materials are actually amazing too! I wish he will release it on Spotify one day.

Year after year we've been blessed with his incredible music. From Future Vision EP, English Letters EP in 2017, his debut album Community last year, and now FPATF. I seriously hope that he won't stop making music. Because his music is incredible. And I really think he's a talented songwriter as well. He really touched words and turn them into magic. Magic that touches your heart!

And his music in general is just so melancholic and emotional. Like for example his song Nevermore My Temples Leave is truly one of a kind in this world. I always feel weirdly emotional whenever I listen to it. It gave me a feeling I've never felt before when I listened to it for the first time. A personal favourite for me is Medals. Because I relate to that song a lot. Confession: I also cried to that song a lot. It's emotional and it always made me feel sad about the world. And its functions.

Alright that's all from me now. This is a special post dedicated to one of my favourite musicians ever, Favela! I hope you give his new album a listen because it's incredible. And his other music too mwahaha. Alright see you again. Take care and have a great week ahead :)

Left Behind

I am seriously in deep shit for not blogging here haha. See I told you, blogging more often during the holiday isn't gonna happen! But nevertheless I have my reasons for that too. 

Anyway yes the holiday is over and we're all back to work for almost 2 weeks now. Here are some quick updated to my life mwahaha. Reasons for not writing is... Well I actually really had a great break during the holiday. I was literally doing nothing. I spent most of the night just surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, listening to music, and not forgetting, journaling of course! Thus that's why I didn't blog, I spent most of the nights doing nothing. And it's fantastic.

Also I am now officially an uncle to four kiddos now! My 2nd sister gave birth to her son last Thursday and I'm so happy for her and my brother in law! Well although now I feel more pressurised because everyone has been asking me when's my turn *rolls eyes* hahaha. I'm single AF so don't expect me to be with anyone, let alone have kids HAHAHA. But yes, my new nephew is a healthy boy!

And yeah that's all for the updates I guess... I might be sharing some of the poems and posts I wrote on my journal here. Also I promised you a post dedicated to Favela and that's coming soon!

Alright that's all for me now. I will see you soon.

Holiday Syndrome

Hello hello, I know I'm a day late but just wanna wish Eid Mubarak to all Muslims around the world! I hope you had a blissful month of Ramadhan and a wonderful Eid celebration with your loved ones :) This year Eid coincides with my grandfather's 27th death anniversary so we were doing the prayers yesterday. My aunts and uncle came over as usual and it was a pretty chill and quiet day.

Somehow the first day of Eid seems like the quietest day of the year at home hah. 

Anyway I've been enjoying the past 3 days of holiday here. I am suffering from what I like to call the Holiday Syndrome. I wouldn't say it's a problem, it's a good thing actually haha. I'd like to call it a syndrome where you feel that you're obliged not to do anything even though you may have things to be done, and could be done haha. But seriously though, not doing anything is an act of bliss these days.

Not only that my shop is closed for Eid, so I don't have to do the daily sales report, but yeah I just had a great time not doing anything! Haha. Besides the going out during the day activities of course. Like after dinner, I would wash the dishes, went back to my room and do nothing! Scroll through Instagram, watch YouTube videos, and lay around my bed. It was wonderful haha.

I wanted to journal/blog but meh I don't feel like doing so. Like I just wanna do nothing haha.

I would say it's an act of bliss because on other days, I feel like I'm just preoccupied to do things. To think about things and so on. And it's wonderful not being needed to do such heh. But usually things will go back to normal slowly as the holiday nears the end. But if you enjoy every day, doing things you want to do, and things your heart wants to do, you won't feel bad that the holiday is coming to an end.

It's all about being present I guess.

Okay that's all from me now. I have 2 more posts in mind that I will write soon. In the meantime, let me suffer my holiday syndrome as much as I can hahaha. Hope you're doing well.

Rest

Right, June's here and also we just finished the grand harvest 2k19 today! 621 rolls of flowers this time round. I think our most successful one yet. I think we have found the right timing for the planting of our flowers. Hopefully we can keep it up for the harvest next year and so on. As usual, flowers are living things and we can't control them as and when they want to bloom etc. I would say the weather was both on our side and also not on our side haha.

Well we planted 4 greenhouses of flowers for Lebaran. But only 3 managed to bloom fully, in fact one bloomed like 2 weeks ago and we already started harvesting them. As for the last one, it has bloomed but it's not bloomed enough to be harvested and sold. The reason for this is that... I purposely reduced the planting time for the last greenhouse as I was told by someone who's working at the meteorology department that we might be having hot weather this year.

Since Lebaran falls in June, I thought that the dry season will begin in May. This was also mentioned by a few news outlet, so I thought it's really gonna happen. And guess what, it's been raining everyday haha. We were only having sunny hot weather on the 3rd week of May. Even in this week, it was raining from Monday till Thursday. So yeah the last greenhouse didn't bloom in time.

Nevertheless, I'm just glad and happy that we managed to pull this harvest up! And managed to fulfill about 90% of the orders. Keep it up my dearest flowers, see you bloom again on the 13th! :D

As for now... The holiday has begun! I'm always looking forward to this time of the year haha. It's a good time to just do nothing, rest and have a break. I'm not traveling anywhere again this year so yeah I'm pretty much looking forward to having a good break at home. I have no plans for anything in this holiday.... I'd love to try to blog everyday but I don't think it's gonna happen hah. 

Oh well. Looking forward to having a great break in the next 10 days or so. See ya soon.
