Seconds, hours, so many days. One heartbeat lost in the crowd.
Sometimes we just have to accept the fact that some people stay in our hearts forever, even if we aren't in theirs.

Acoustic Night Part III @ Munkee Studio was awesome! It was 3 days ago, and I know I'm a little late on updating, but so many things have been happening. It was LTT's first performance together, and I'm so happy with it. I'm pretty sure we weren't the best, and I certainly hope we weren't the worst, but I had fun even though I was nervous as hell.
We sang the following songs:
With Ur Love - Cher Lloyd
Fight For This Love - Cheryl Cole
What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction
Notice how they're all UK artists? :p

There are videos, but they are currently in Cass's camera, along with the rest of the pictures, which hopefully shall be uploaded by the end of this week.
On another note, we just discovered a few days ago that our Less Than Three Facebook page has been hacked into, and none of us (Nabilah, Fiza, Nini or myself) are the admins of the page. It's really frustrating for us, but we finally got a new Facebook page back in order!
Who remembered our first mashup cover titled "How To Love You Like A Love Song"? Well, it's on YouTube now, like finally, and here is the video.
More videos and pictures will be up soon, insya'allah! ♥
with your love.

It's weird, isn't it? When someone makes one mistake, suddenly every good deed they have ever done becomes forgotten. It's like people expect this certain someone to be perfect, to never make mistakes. Everyone says "nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistake", but who really agrees to that term?
Yes, my boyfriend has made me cry on several occasions, but is that reason enough to label him as a bad boyfriend? What is a relationship without arguments? I say that an argument is just a step to getting to know each other better, it just depends on whether you want it to affect your relationship or not. My parents have been married for over 20 years, and they have gotten into arguments countless of times, but they're still going strong, aren't they? Are you going to label my father as a bad man over the one argument he has with my mother, or are you going to label him as a great guy for the 20 over years he has spent taking care of her welfare? You tell me.
When I got a relapse and had to get my medication injected into me, my boyfriend took me to see the nephrologist at 9 am in the morning. When my dad was too busy, my boyfriend took me to the hospital to collect my medication. My boyfriend picked me and my mum up from the hospital when my dad had to go for a meeting. My boyfriend made a video of him singing and dedicated it to me. He took me to Bukit Tinggi where he asked me to become his girlfriend on top of a tower. When I got stomach flu, my boyfriend stayed at my place for the whole day trying to feed me, and he kept an eye on me even when I was asleep on the sofa. When I got a fever, he showed up downstairs. My boyfriend has bought pizza for my whole family a few times. He brought me to Mont Kiara in the morning where he cooked breakfast for me. My boyfriend is in really good terms with my family, and is even doing business together with my dad. My boyfriend bought souvenirs for the whole family when he went on holiday. He even drove my dad to Giant and afterwards went to get some coffee together. My boyfriend shared money with me and my aunt to buy a birthday cake for my dad. My boyfriend reminds me every day that he loves me.
And those are just some of the things my boyfriend has done. Do you still dare say he is a bad boyfriend only because of the few times he has made me cry? Yes, I do cry. It is only human to cry. Insecurities and paranoia tends to cause fights. But that doesn't mean he is treating me badly, because honestly, I can't find anyone else who can treat me better. I am perfectly happy with the man I am with now, I would really appreciate it if people would realize that. Remind me to stay strong when I am upset, not tell me that he is an awful person.
No one ever promised that relationships would be easy, no one ever said that it'll be a breeze. And I am prepared to face all that with Nazrin. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love you♥
where is this going?

Yesterday I went to Nini's place together with Bella and Fiza for another practice session for this Dec 18's acoustic night at Munkee Studio. I feel like it had been a really productive day for we managed to finalize our song choices and the order to sing them in. It was so fun singing at the porch, we all couldn't stop smiling at each other. All that's left is to just make it perfect ♥ I seriously cannot wait for acoustic night now!
After Bella and Fiza left, I stayed with Nini for a while longer. We were picking out outfits to wear and had heart-to-heart conversations with each other. It was so fun spending time with her, even though we didn't do much except for staying in her room.
Just look at us! Who else will be willing to take such ugly photos like that with me? ♥ *except for my boyfriend of course, hahaha
By the way, Less Than Three is now on YouTube! It's a new channel, and nothing has been edited in yet, but we have uploaded our cover of "What Makes You Beautiful" in it.
Help us spread the love! ♥ Bella, Fiza and Nini are coming over to my place later on to practice again, I can't wait to meet my girls :)
That's the gist of what had happened yesterday, and so now let me get to the point of what I want to talk about.
Long-distance relationships.
I have been in one before, and frankly that didn't work out too well even though the first few months were good. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't think it can't work out. I highly believe that if two people are deeply in love with each other, things will fall into place somehow. Right now I just want to talk about how you should actually behave in these relationships.
Well, I am no love guru, and of course these aren't rules you should abide by. But being a girl that has been through this kind of relationship before, I think it's only natural for me to want to share what we females want in an LDR. Not all girls though, maybe this just goes for me and some others, but hey, you can always take it as tips.
We don't ask for much, really. It's an LDR, what can you ask for? We don't expect you to book a ticket for the next flight, fly to our country and show up at our door with a bouquet of flowers. We don't expect your attention 24/7 because we are aware that you have other things to do, because so do we. We don't expect you to call our cellphones and talk to us for hours, because we know how expensive it can be. We don't expect you to stay online for hours just to talk to us, because we know you get tired.
All we ask for is reassurance. No matter how "busy" you get, it really helps if you could contact us at least once a day. It would make us feel so much better knowing that we actually cross your mind. Besides, these days you have Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM, Viber, Line and so many other free applications. Just send a simple and sweet message, and that's all. We just want to hear from you. We want to know you're fine, and that you care about the relationship as much as we do. We're far away from each other, is it that hard to let us know how you are? Trust is really important in these relationships. And of course you'd want us to trust you. But how can we trust you when you don't even want to talk to us?
I'm not saying that guys are always the ones that do wrong in an LDR, sometimes the girls mess up too. But I'm just speaking from a female's point of view.
To whoever is experiencing an LDR right now, I really wish you guys the best of luck, and stay strong! May the flames of your love keep burning forever ♥
P.S. This has absolutely nothing to do with my boyfriend. Yes, he is in Australia right now, but he texts and calls me every day, and he reminds me every morning when he wakes up and every night before he goes to bed that he loves me. I seriously cannot ask for anything better. I love you Ameer Nazrin Moore :*
And to my best friend, please stay strong! I know you are hurting right now, but always know that there are people here that care for you, and do appreciate having you around. I guarantee that if this doesn't work out, you will find someone that's a thousand times better in the future. I know that is easy to say, but I'm sure Allah isn't mean to let you suffer. Do not waste your tears and effort on someone who doesn't know what he wants. I love you bestie :)

take a chance on me.

I met up with my girls yesterday to have lunch at An-Nurs, D'Pangkin. It was good meeting all of them after SPM ended, it feels like such a long time since we properly hung out together. And as expected, when we all get together, there'll be loads of gossip, laughter and stories. We then went to Yaya's house where Nazhif was already waiting for us, and we all did some karaoke. We also went on Omegle and met some pretty friendly people. Surprisingly, all these friendly people were Indonesians. We didn't really open our mouths to talk to them, except for Nini of course, who happens to be really good talking in Indonesian. Spent hours on YouTube watching random videos. I can tell that we all had nothing better to do because we started off by watching music videos, and in around 4 hours, ended up watching Japanese prank videos. Although we didn't really do much, I had a great day with my girls. Love you guys long time!
Nini,Yaya,Elora,Dolly,Teeha,Nazhif♥
I have been so in love with this song and video lately. Not only because this video has 4 really good-looking men in it, or neither is it because Aston is so darn handsome, or the fact that I am head over heels in love with his voice... But also because this song has a certain meaning to it that makes me smile.
You're so scared to fall in love
'Cause you end up in the dust
Everytime, everytime
Now you see us all the same
Like our words are just a game
Spitting lies, dirty lies
I know you know
There's something here
But you cannot get past the fear
I can help you make it clear.
So when you feel like trying again
Reach out, take my hand
See how great it could be
To fall in love with someone you can trust
Who would never give up
'Cause you're all that he needs
You give 100 percent but you've never seen a cent
They're so blind, they're so blind
'Cause I'm looking at your face
And the world's a better place
In your eyes, lovely eyes
You got nothing to lose baby,
But you won't know if you don't try
Please don't leave me asking why
So when you're ready to choose baby
I'll be here with open arms
With the same in love in my heart
If you read the lyrics above, it's basically something a lot of girls have felt at least once in their life. Not only girls, even guys too. I have felt this way. Feeling like my heart and feelings have been played with, feeling like I'm not appreciated, feeling like everything I do goes unnoticed, having to wait too long for someone you like. Those feelings will eventually build up to feeling insecure about oneself and the inability to trust again. Afraid to trust because you don't want the same thing to repeat itself.
We're teenagers, we go through multiple heartbreaks. It's all a part of life. But I truly believe that everyone in this world was made for someone, so why give up on love at such a young age when the future is clearly bright? Always keep a positive thought, it doesn't kill to be happy. There will come a time in your life where someone will walk into it, and make you change your mind about every negative thing that exists around you. We have to be hopeful that not every person is the same, and there is someone out there who will want to make you happy.
Even though it's just a song, it has rekindled my faith that there are some genuine guys out there. Guys who would do anything to prove to that one girl that not every boy is the same, and that this time he will take care of her heart.
Based on personal experience, my heart has been cut and bruised several times over. I was crushed. When I thought things were getting better, my kindness and tolerance got taken advantage of. Then I fell for someone who had never done me wrong. It was perfect, but before anything could happen, someone else swept me off my feet. And that person belonged to someone else, and he didn't know what he wanted. Everything went wrong everywhere. But beneath all that chaos, I always found solace in talking to a certain someone. When I wasn't looking, when I wasn't hoping, that certain someone just rose above the rest and saved me from that mess. He saved me from myself.
Back when I liked someone else's boyfriend, that was a pretty horrible moment in my life. How could I have done that to a friend? Not only that, but back when I liked him, I was willing to bring myself down, to settle for so much less than I actually deserved. I was constantly hurting at his confusion. But now that I'm with my boyfriend, he made me realize that I don't need to change for anyone. For once, I am comfortable in my own skin and I am not afraid to be myself. Those love stories you see in movies that you think can never come true? They are real. In fact, I'm living in it right now. It's no perfect fairytale, but I'm perfectly happy. And I really pray to God that he will be the man I'm going to marry. I don't think I've ever been this more sure in my life. I am in love, and is he :)
So guys and girls, don't ever give up on love. For every bad experience thrown your way, take it as a lesson. You don't have to change for anyone, because one day, someone who can accept you just the way you are will enter your life, and they will love you for you. Don't hurt yourself for people who are not worth it. And definitely do not let those who have hurt you blind you from the beauty of love.
Thank you for keeping my faith in love.
I love you, Ameer Nazrin Moore ♥
"See how great it could be to fall in love with someone you can trust,
who would never give up 'cause you're all that he needs."

After our exams yesterday, Nini, Bella and Fiza came over to my place to make a video cover for our group "Less Than Three". We've always wanted to make a proper video, but have all come to an agreement where we would only concentrate on our group when SPM ends. So now that SPM is over, we're going to try make as many videos as we can.
We had loads of fun rehearsing the song and making the video. Not forgetting that while we were trying to find the right spot to shoot it, my cats came in with a huge lizard in their mouths which made us scream, to a point where Nini jumped onto a chair. It was hilarious! I wish I caught it on camera. The video ended up being just okay. There are still so many things about it that we didn't really like, and we know we can do better. Criticism is very much appreciated, we'd love to use your opinions as future reference to be better :) I know the video is not perfect, but I hope you guys enjoy it anyway! ♥ This is our cover of "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction.
That night, Nini slept over at my place. It has been ages since our last sleepover, and I swear last night was really fun. I would write down everything that happened, but there is literally too much to tell! To sum it all up, the night consisted of lizards,cockroaches,me running out of the kitchen with a knife,dropping a scale, squeezing juices out of fruits, singing and who could forget, pillow talks ♥
Squeezing juices out of fruits would be me attempting to make a homemade "hair highlighter". In the evening, I had asked my mum to go to a grocery store to get some lemons, lime and oranges. If you're curious as to what it really is, watch this video, it'll help.
So today, Nini and I sprayed that onto our hair and walked under the scorching sun for around 30 minutes. It's only been a day since we tried it, but I really hope it works! It's gonna save me loads of money, ugh. Bella came to my house that afternoon so that we could practice some songs for acoustic night (which shall be explained later).
Oh! And I also finally got my haircut! I've been pondering about this for a long time, but somehow yes, I have decided to cut it short. When people have problems, some of them cut themselves, but for me, I cut... my hair. I find that getting a new hairstyle is a good way of relieving stress. The hair that got cut away are like your problems. And once you're done, you leave those problems on the floor and forget about them. But hey, that's just me, haha! I've had a lot of things going through my mind lately, so this was exactly the change I needed.
In my honest opinion... I think I look like that mini Jessie J in her video clip, "Who's Laughing Now". I like my hair the way it is now, I feel more free. I can't wait for it to grow longer!
Less Than Three will be performing at Munkee Studio for acoustic night this Dec 18. I am stoked! I haven't been there in the longest time and I can't wait to meet everyone ♥
