Alhamdullilah, after trying the Asam laksa at the foodcourt, I felt really happy. Such a joy to taste a simple meal despite not being able to go to Penang before to try the actual Asam laksa. I am so grateful that I am genuinely happy on my own. The feeling of total bliss and contentment. This feeling that I will treasure for the rest of my life. 

I am listening to the podcast on " On Attraction " by Aida Azlin and Safiyah Moulana. I really LOVE it mainly because of their voices (haha just kidding). There was a discussion on the physical attractiveness of the self. They mentioned how all this social media is sensationalising the beauty on the surface level. For instance, there are girls who wear make up to look good so that there will be boys who will want to marry them and they will be not be alone. For myself, I don't like make-up because I am so terrible at using the tools and the brushes. And I will look like a clown. Hahaha!!! So, I have total respect for those who can wear make-up masyaAllah. Make up is a genius invention for women who wants to cover up their flaws. 

They also discussed about the preference of a partner. There are different preferences on traits such as different taste in music, having good vibes and energy and the good personality. For myself, I prefer (haha) someone who is responsible, respectful, show care and concern to his family, really dedicated to his career and has the ability to offer a quick solutions to a problem. I feel it is important for my future partner to have these traits to be the leader of the family. And yes, someone who have a sense of good humour that can make me laugh. I am okay with lame jokes as I am easily tickled with a decent joke.

And I hope he has a certain level of religiosity so that we can pray together and read Quran together. I also hope that he has a good level of emotional maturity that matches mine. So, we can work conflicts together and always fix our own relationship with Allah because Allah will inspire solutions to our conflicts and mend the gaps together. Is it too much to ask for? (Haha!) 

We can go deeper in the concept of attraction journey. It is amazing if we can reflect on ourselves to look internally then we can look externally. I agree with Safiyah. Confidence that comes from contentment. I know who I am and I don't want to prove to anyone. Silent confidence is a trait that I will really admire in someone as well. I am also working on this because I tend to doubt myself. And I am encouraging myself to accept  a compliment with humility and gratitude so that I can feel the goodness. 

So who are those people whom you find attractive?
