ABOUT

The title, “Pilgrim Chic,” is taken from the literal meaning of the individual words.

I am a pilgrim, because I see life as a journey. Professionally I am an architect, so I continuously train my mind to see the world through a creative eye. And chic, because, well, I like nice things.

This blog is a collection of my thoughts and adventures.

If you could pick one place to travel to in this instant, all other factors aside (money, school, leave days etc) where would that be? 🧡 . I would go to Cape Town, hands down. No questions asked 🤤 . Update on the @flysafairza R5 sale you guys watched me following up on my stories last week, I didn’t get any tickets 😭 . And the 30% off was still out of budget, but not all faith is lost 💪🏼 Drafting up a savings plan and hoping to still make it a reality, if it’s the only new place I get to see this year ⭐️

What camera do I use, you ask? 😊 📸 . I’ve always been a tech junkie for the longest time! I may not know all the technical specs of all devices but I’ve always been curious on how to take the best pictures I can with what I have, and is within my means 😁 . I use a Canon 60D for most of my blog and some of my IG photos, as well as my iPhone 6S for more everyday pics on my IG feed 😁 . I learnt a few years back that you don’t have to have the best camera to take the best pictures, just do your research and learn how to take and compose better pictures. If I’m being totally honest, I learnt how to compose great pictures from @alice_gao (her photography is major goals to me!) as well as being a diligent reader of @condenasttraveller magazine 😍 . For this photo I used my Canon 60D with a 50mm fixed lens (that I LOVE because it gives that blurred background effect - technically known as depth of field) . My process : I’m very specific with how I want my pictures to look so first I do a few test shots on my phone, or try a few on my camera without me as the subject then ask whoever I’m with who is kind (and patient) enough to snap the photo for me with me in frame 😊 . Current dream camera? Sony A7III 😭😋🤤 . PS. I look serious because I was at this moment, observing and sketching ☺️😁

Me after opening my fast vs. me before, swipe right 😂 🧡 . How was day one of sawm for you? I’m enjoying it, managed to stay energetic all day and I think it has a lot to do with having a nutritious dinner last night 😊 Incorporating porridge in my Ramadhan diet this time round, I’m using some flour my mum bought me that’s a mixture of so many nutritious foods like cassava, wimbi (millet) and those are the only two I can remember right now 😅 . There’s also something so special about prayer during this holy month, feeling so present alhamdulilah 😊

Went chasing waterfalls today 🦋 #fatmawashere

Soft serve ice cream with chocolate sauce and a Flake from the cutest little ice cream van I’ve ever seen at #waltersisulubotanicalgardens 💕 . Ramadhan Kareem to my fellow Muslims, may Allah make it easy for us, accept our sawm and prayers 😊 . I’m looking forward to the self reflection and peace that comes during this holy month 😊

Time out 💕 . One of my favourite things to do is find a pretty place to have some tea or coffee, while reading something nice - ps. @condenasttraveller is my favourite magazine ☕️ #thesimplethings

Please feel free to freshen up #typeinthewild 💕
