A FORTIFIYING EXPERIENCEOnly got to upload pictures from my humble bedazzled fort I built in my bedroom with the help of my wing-woman Huwaini and my younger sister, Aneesah a few weeks ago. We hung up shawls and blankets against a bookcase with strings, decorated the interior with plenty of fairy lights & dreamcatchers, lit scented candles, baked chocolate muffins & heart shaped cookies & brought up all sorts of other food to keep us busy in there. Food keeps everyone busy duhh.In case you’re wondering, no, there was no special occasion. We just felt like it, and so we did it. Initially Huwaini and I wanted to go for a picnic earlier that day, but it rained and we had to stay indoors. So we figured why not have a pseudo-picnic inside the fort instead? We baked in the afternoon then spent later that evening putting everything up. Surprisingly, it didn’t take us that long. And the outcome was E-P-I-C! We got dressed and put on make up afterwards (although we were in the comfort of my own bedroom lol), and then started to squeeze ourselves into this mini mansion of ours.Just as we were about to take pictures, the power went off. What a perfect time to not have electricity. Luckily we had candles so what was meant to be a decoration ended up as a necessity haha. There was no electricity for a generous amount of 3 hours or so. But we waited, and sweated terribly. Like hey-lo this is Malaysia we’re talking about. Since the blackout was taking quite a long while, we got hungry and finished all the heart shaped cakes- which tasted divine, who knew me and huwaini were pretty good bakers :p After being soaked in the dark for a few hours, at around midnight the power came back on Alhamdulillah. So we went back in and started to eat, take pictures, talk and laugh until we got super tired. In fact we were too tired to even change into our pyjamas, and so we slept just like that. Building forts brings me back to my childhood. I used to do this with my brother, well a less bedazzled version, of course. Doing it again as an adult, is even more fun. Except for the tidying up, that was tedious = no fun.Anyway, nobody’s too old to build forts and live their childhood dreams.And mind you, this year I’m 22 *cues Taylor Swift*Well I guess from now on you can call me a professional fort mastah #howiwish #dropslawdegreeifthatwaspossible #kidding -- source link
