I have always seen other hijab fashion bloggers going overseas in the middle of winter in their dresses and light jacket and I wonder how do they survive in the cold? It's crazy and ridiculous, the things they do for a good look shot.

So, in Bern, where it was not too freezing, I decided to give it a try.

I was right. These girls are crazy. I didn't last more than 5 minutes not wearing a sweater. Even then, I was wearing a leather jacket. But we gave it a shot anyway because it seemed fun! And since we were there with the Swiss Carnival going on, why not, ey?

A few people have asked me, "Why Switzerland again?" considering that I've been there at least 4 times, including my honeymoon. I can never answer their question because to me, travelling is a blessing and wherever it may be, I am grateful to be able to travel. Alhamdulillah, I have been able to travel all over Switzerland, which is something not many people I know have ever done.

My family loves Switzerland because everywhere is a holiday. And we get to ski here! Of course, you can ski in Italy, France, USA, Japan, Canada and so many more places but I learnt to ski in the Swiss Alps and I love skiing here. InsyaAllah, if we have rizq, we will try skiing in other places.

I am currently in Saas-Fee, The Pearl of the Swiss Alps. It's in Valais, only reachable by car or bus. And it is a car-less town! There are electric mobiles running in the city but all cars that do not run on electricity must be parked outside the city. Interesting, isn't it? There are actually quite a few car-free towns in Switzerland.

Basically, we have to walk around the town. It's about 15 minutes from one end to another. The electricity mobile is quite expensive. And if you convert it to Malaysian Ringgit, it's about RM100 for about 3 minutes. There is a free ski-bus available but it's always full! Everyone here skis! They start skiing at about the age of 4. Which is why they are so good at it.

Hi, dear readers. 

I apologise for being on hiatus for a while. I was actually down with dengue fever and I was occupied with the start of the semester. It's been such a long and hectic February, I'm already looking forward to the holidays!

The dengue fever for me wasn't too bad. However, it did make my whole body feel weak, as if I worked out all my muscles the day before. But even with the fever, I continued with activities I have long planned for. I believe that our mental strength can overcome the physical pain. Waking up in the morning was difficult, though.

It's no secret that I love art: music, theatre, dance, fashion, etc. So when Adlin waved free tickets to the concert in Istana Budaya, I was excited for a night out with the girls. I invited Nasyim along as he has never failed to invite me to any fashion or art events that he attends. Plus, I knew he'd enjoy the concert. He knew at least one song by every artist that performed that night.
