Why did I do it?
It doesn't make any difference whether or not I cover up. I think. Except in the rewards & sins department. If money is the measure there, I would be overdraft. So since there's actually a bonus or rather more correctly, an opportunity to level up, I guess why not?!I suppose once you are determined to do it the hardest bit would be finding the right moment or occassion because you know there'll be a lot of double-takes, head-turns and perplexed looking faces. And it goes without saying that the 2nd most difficult would be overcoming the numerous expressions (including body numbing shocks), responding to the congratulations/compliments and answering the Golden Question (which I have yet to do successfully). People keep asking me if it's my New Year resolution and since I'm just too lazy to explain to them, my quick reply has been "No but for ease of argument, Yes". To my relief, a couple of people actually got it (Thank God!) Others.. well I have come to anticipate that haven't I? So no qualms there either.
That being said, I'd still maintain though, that I reckon I look better without it. But as far as matter-of-fact me goes, that is just another statement, an honest opinion that would not in any way change my stand on taking on the hijab. I did it and after three days, I think I can do this and soon I wouldn't even notice that it's there and I wouldn't even feel so self-conscious anymore. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder kan? And I hope that this will boost my spiritual wellness. Eid-ul Adha Mubarak to everyone! Kalau rajin contribute la to Qurban, 1 part will cost you under RM200. Only. That's nothing compared to your mobile phones. InsyaAllah hapus a little of your sins.
P.S.- Texted Bush (and my sister) a one-liner one fateful noon. Well.. Yesterday to be precise. It read:
"N*** is an A-rated asshole!"
I still think he is for putting me on a spot like that. Felt that it was derogatory. My sister thought the message was really funny.. and there I was so seriously ticked.
