THIS IS ME LETTING YOU GO - HEIDI PRIEBE (BOOK REVIEW)

-

Hi and assalamualaikum all, how are you doing today? It's been a long time since I'm not updating my blog hehe but no worries, today (or tonight I guess, it's 2 am now) I'm gonna review a book that I've read when I got my heart broken badly last year. I was pushed to a very dark corner. Everyone saw it as "just a heartbreak" and I was told "you'll be okay in a few weeks or months time" but it was so much more than that.



This Is Me Letting You Go, first published was in 2016, is a series of honest and poignant essays. This book is not focusing on love only but about your relationship between God, parents, family and strangers. Heidi Priebe explores the harsh reality of what it means to let go of the people and the situations we love most (often before we are ready to) and how to embrace what comes next.

Before I read this book, it was so hard for me to let him go. I spent my days and night by crying. I don't have to further explain for God has bear witness to all my pain for the past 8 months last year but in between my prayers and cries, I've always believed that Allah had the biggest plan ahead as test sent down felt a little too heavy for the fragile heart to carry. 

I love to ask myself "how could a person just abandon another like this?". People may think, "why's this girl so not over it?". Ya, you're right and I wish I didn't have to be this way too. You think I enjoyed the pain I felt? You think I did it for attention? You think I didn't get angry myself for being sad? It ruined me so much.

But hey, I want you all to know that after dark there'll always be light. Finally, I found this book.

This book taught me that some people simply are not meant to stay forever (I just realized that hehe). In fact, some people come into our life for a season, for a reason, for the simple purpose of showing us the world in a way we would never have seen it otherwise. We all have fallen for temporary people. It's a must okay my dear especially in our age (between 18-25). Even we are advised not to fall for these people 😅 

The important thing is; love yourself first. Not necessarily most or best, but first. You need someone you can rely on and that person has to be you. Heal your heart, yourself. Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for someone you love is to let them go. 

My dear friends and readers, the heartbreak was necessary. Everything was bound to happen. Every single thing; the good and even the bad were written carefully and precisely for me to reach this point of my life. After all, there are so many other things I can be grateful about in my life, my utmost gratitude goes to you, Lord of the Universe.

Love, SSF.

Hi and assalamualaikum all, how are you doing today? It's me, Wani. A 20 years old girl who is just 151cm tall but with big dream. This blog was created for my assignment purpose - EPPD1063. But, looking at the bright side, I love to write too. Before this, I use my Twitter account as my diary to share every single thing, but now, I have my own blog account. So, I will use this as my new diary (that's why I name it as 'My Open Diary').  At the same time, I can improve my writing skills too (I guess). As for now, the blog content are mainly focus about myself, my subject, review books and etc. Since 2021 will be my hectic year, so there will be a time where I am busy with other priorities but I will try to get back here as soon as possible and update my blog with new posts. Hope you will stay tuned with me and last but not least, thanks for joining me! :)

THE HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE - HTML

 Hi dan assalamualaikum semua! Pada minggu ke-8 dan minggu ke-9, saya telah mempelajari 1 lagi perisian komputer iaitu HTML. HTML adalah bahasa penanda standard untuk dokumen yang direka untuk dipaparkan dalam pelayar internet. Ini boleh dibantu oleh teknologi seperti Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) dan bahasa skrip seperti JavaScript. Elemen HTML diwakili oleh tag,  ditulis menggunakan kurungan sudut. Tag suka dan serta-merta memperkenalkan kandungan ke dalam halaman. Tag lain seperti dikelilingi dan memberikan maklumat tentang teks dokumen dan mungkin termasuk tag lain sebagai sub-elemen. Pelayar tidak memaparkan tag HTML tetapi menggunakannya untuk mentafsir kandungan halaman.  Tidak dinafikan, membuat HTML ini sangat penat dan memerlukan tahap kesabaran yang sangat tinggi. Walau bagaimanapun, ia menjadi mudah dan seronok apabila anda sudah mula menguasainya. Saya juga berasa kagum melihat hasil HTML saya sendiri dan mula jatuh cinta dengan ilmu Programming ini. Saya bera...
