No matter how nice we try to put things, there is no denying that life is a battle. Everyday is a struggle.
However, with every struggle is a blessing. We are blessed to be alive and given the chance to make changes everyday.
People say, “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that.
Hi, My name is Nadrah and this is my story.
I'm a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a cousin, a friend, a wife and a mother but most of all, I will always be a little girl at heart.
This blog is about my life and how I try to live it to the fullest while keeping it well balanced.

Favorite Scene in Grey' Anatomy

One of my favourite scene in Grey's Anatomy was this proposal. It was right after Derek was in a very dark place and he pulled himself back together. This few minutes tells why they are together... It's sad that his character died but they are definitely one of my favourite on screen couple.

Today in History, Malaysia Has Spoken

"Most people think I should rest. Yes, I want to rest, but one after another came & asked me to do something to save this beloved country. I can't let them down" - Tun Dr. Mahathir.

At 92 years old, still with his strong will to save the country. It is a lot of work but we have faith in Tun M and Malaysia...

Congratulations Malaysia!

The people has spoken.

To a new hope for our future and the future of our children...

Polling Day

Here is a video of my #GE14 experience today on the 9th May 2018. I do not own the copyrights of the song. Song here is called "Malaysia" by Faizal Tahir.

My Favourite Make Up Brand: Tarte Cosmetics

This may be a long overdue post but about 3 days ago, I received an promotional communication e-mail from tarte cosmetics on their annual 7-pieces of make up at the price of RM280. Mind you these are full sized products that would normally cost RM925! Like this is Tarte we are talking about, they are of good quality, pigmented and suitable for sensitive skin. This reminds me of the Christmas set that my bestie gave me. It was just one of those things that I fell in love with at first sight. 

The set had:
24 eye shadows (highly pigmented and suitable for EVERY OCCASION)
mascara
2 bronzer
2 blushers 
1 highlighter
1 lipcolor 
1 eyeliner

I was just sharing the excitement with my bestie, Tira Othman and a few days later, I received a delivery at the office!

Here is a video of me unboxing Tarte's Treasure Box Xmas 2017 Collection:


Trust me when I say that once I've gotten this set, I really don't really see the need of buying any other make up. Err, Ok well maybe primer, foundation, concealer and other lip colours.. :P If you are one of those versatile working class ladies, Tarte Cosmetics offers are always a bargain and definitely worth it!

What My Usual Make Up Look Like ...

By the way, Thank you SuziAnna for taking the video for me.... Much Love!

Slowly but Surely

My journey to a so called healthier lifestyle was put on hold in order to accommodate my hectic lifestyle juggling roles as a wife, mother, student, employee and advisor. It is true what Melissa said yesterday that there isn't such thing as a balanced lifestyle. Though it may seem easy for me, even with help and support by my family and in laws, i was really struggling and sacrificed a lot of my sleep time.
Despite thinking that I'll get back into the program after my finals, my plans were held back because i fell and not only sprained my ankle but i tore my muscle too. Along with the injury, i'm getting a very bad back pain on my lower right. It was prolly because I was trying doing almost everything using the right side of my body. To make things worse, i fell again on the same leg last Thursday night!
Not being able to work out makes me a lil bit upset. But without wasting anymore time, since the swelling has subsided (should have worn a guard earlier if I had known it would help a lot on the swelling), I decided to start with swimming since it is the lightest form of exercises. My friend, Mash came over as a form of motivation. We swam a little and chatted more. Only managed to do 5 laps but hey, at least it is something! Lets hope that i can continue with something tomorrow. Slowly but surely *wink*
