Music Fridays

Hello & Happy Friday!

I'm so glad it's the end of the week & the weekend is finally here! Say hello to a relaxed Rasya. Lol. & it's Halloween!!

Anyways, 

Music has always been a part of my life and I would love to share it with you. Every Friday (hopefully I do this every Friday! *fingers crossed*), I am going to post a song with my favorite lyrics from that song :) 

“you ask me to remember, a kiss is but a kiss, well i’d be a fool to want more from you and i’m gone in a while.” - one day by paolo nutini 

Have a lovely weekend!

October Favorites

Helllooooooo!


It's the end of October. Woahhh where did the time fly by? It's crazy how tomorrow is already November! -_-

October started off rocky for me. The first week was just filled with anger and frustration but I had my friends with me and they just know how to make things better. October got better after the first week and I had the chance to settle down to uni life again. This month has to be the last month I get to laze around, come November, deadlines and phase tests are coming & DISSERTATION PROPOSAL :( :( aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On that note, let's move on to my favorites of the month!

Winter is coming!

Hello again!

It's almost the end of October and here in the UK, it's getting much colder. Maybe for the locals it's not cold yet in terms of their standards but as a child of the equator region, it's freakin' cold to me right now! Lol. Anyways, with cold season comes coats, jumpers, cardigans and layering! I've been in the UK for about a year in total and nothing excites me more than layering clothes. It's too hot to layer in Malaysia.. so I am going to make full use of it while I'm still here! 

The main piece of layering clothes (to me) is the coat. There are tons of coats on sale/discounts available right now! If you're a student in the UK, i'm sure you've heard of Unidays. It's basically an app where you can get student discounts online and in-stores. Ah the perks of being a student ;) I've been seeing lots of shops doing 10% or more discounts right now on coats and knitwears and I'm here to share with you some of the items that I'm loving right now.

Lena Cocoon Coat (missguided.co.uk) 

I am loving cocoon coats right now! I've been seeing it everywhere; primark, topshop, etc. I've been thinking of adding more color to my always black wardrobe and this powder blue will be a statement on its own. The cocoon shape makes the coat looks snugly and *insert squeaky voice here* you feel all warm up inside *coughs back to normal voice*. Also, the shape of the coat makes it look as if there's a lot of room for you to layer & it's reasonably priced too! I just have one problem with this coat; I am tiny (standing at 5 ft short), I don't know whether this coat would flatter my body type but hey, thank god for returning policies! 

Parka (Zara)

This is for 'em rainy days. I love my wool coats a bit too much to let it be drenched with rain water. Anyways.. Zara can never disappoint. Although Zara is expensive, the quality of their products are top notch. The hood and fur is detachable if you're not feeling the swagness of it (am I the only who thinks fur adds so much swag?) 

Structured Coat (Zara)

If I were tall, I would be rockin' this coat like there's no tomorrow. Sadly, I'm not and this coat will just swallow me up :( There's something classic about a grey coat. I love the structure of this particular one, it's too bad that I can't pull this off (why? oh why don't I have long legs?) but fret not, now all I need to do is just find a coat that is similar to this but for petite girls. Let the hunt begin!

Tailored Coat (missguided.co.uk)

I saved the best for last. There's something about this colour that makes it look très chic. Every time I look at this coat, I keep falling more and more in love with the fit and sleekness of it. Out of all of my choices, this is at the top of my list!   

I think I'm going to go purchase the camel coat now..

Thanks for dropping by!

Yumsies: Avocado on Toast

Hi there!

I love avocados! Avocado on toast, avocado juice, avocado anything, really. I'm trying to do this thing where I try to eat healthier every day and let me tell you, it is the hardest thing to do. I'm Malaysian and we Malaysians love our rice. I like me some rice & starch & fried stuff and let's be honest, the most scrumptious food are the unhealthy ones. But I need to start taking care of my body and i'm taking this healthier approach one step at a time. Avocado is rich in antioxidants & healthy fats and it's a healthier substitute for butter (it sort of tastes and feels like butter to me, so yeay on that!)

Let me get back to the point of this post, I've seen so many recipes online on how to make avocado on toast. here is my own twist to it,

Ingredients: 

Steps:

Toast up your bread.

Cut the avocado into half and remove the pit.

Scoop out the avocado and place it in a bowl.

Add (a few squeezes?) juice of a lemon, salt and pepper into the avocado.
I added the chili oil in for a little kick. 


 
Mix & mash until smooth.

Spread the mixture onto the toasted bread and drizzle the chilli oil on top.
 

Voila! Your healthy snack is ready ;)

if you would like to take it to the next step, you can use Rye Bread instead of Ciabatta. I chose ciabatta because I'm not ready for rye bread yet, i still need ma carbs yo :P Lol.  
Enjoy!

First post!

Hello people of the internet! 

Okay, maybe starting this post with that makes me sound like a weirdo. Any who, Hello! Welcome! Hi! My name is Rasya. I bet you must be wondering, “How do I pronounce this girl’s name?” well, it’s pronounced as Ra-Sha. I tend to use Russia (the country) to get people to remember my name easily. I usually say “think of Russia, think of me.” it's probably a lame way to get people to remember me, but meh, it works!

Anywaysssss,

Let’s start with a little bit more about me. I was born and raised in Malaysia. I am currently living in the UK to pursue my undergraduate study in Business. I have a major (and I mean, major!) crush on Michael Fassbender. I love food, fashion, beauty and travelling. *erkkk erkk can't think of anything else* To be honest, I am horrible at talking about myself. I don't know how... so, let's just end this little introduction here. I'm sure along the way, i'd be able to express more of myself into this blog. Let's just see how often (how long) i can keep up with this *challenge accepted* 

Without further ado, let’s do this thing! 
& NICE TO MEET YOU!

p.s. i have an unhealthy obsession with anything cat related. 

phone case: H&M

Thank you for stopping by & I hope you drop by more often ;)

xoxo,
