My name is Dania Marissa and I only started to wear tudung in the eve of 2011!
Here's my story...
Since I was a lil girl, my mum actually told me to wear tudung when I turned 18. Yes, I wear tudung at school but not outside. You see, I was a tomboy when I was just 9 till I was 15. I dressed up like a boy and even acted like one. It wasn't nice, I'm telling you! I had short spiky hair, my WALK was funny and the way i speak was a lil rough~ Maybe too rough. My siblings actually hated me.
Then, my mum open a shop in Ampang Point where she hired me to be a promoter. I was 15 yrs old.... When I started, my mum actually took my cap off and threw it away. She was like "No more caps niea. You're a beautician now." So i agree. I was a promoter, a beautician and a hairdresser (I took classes when I was 16)
It began... Me and my mom shopped for girly stuff...like dresses, heels and halter top and bla bla blaa. The colors are all bright. I can no longer wear black! Mum actually forbid me too...except for the clothes that actually looked good black!
I felt pretty. I felt sexy. I felt like...I was the centre of attraction! It was awesome that I actually learned to put on make up! But then...
I got lost in those sexy clothes, those bare backs, those lipgloss, the colorful leggings, and the tight pants. I have done wrongs to myself. I was actually fooled by the way I looked. I was beautiful in the outside, so beautiful that I did not thank for it.
A few times I had glanced of images....images of myself wearing tudung. I looked beautiful. But i did not do anything. But it had me for a few times. I actually dreamt of it. Then suddenly, at the age of 21, 28th Dec 2010.....I woke up fromm my sleep, crying. I cried for a few minutes and just stare at the ceiling. Then I stood up...Looking for sejadah and telekung. They were no where to be found. I CRIED hard! I called my sisters, Qis and Ascha.
"Qis, I need your help. Do not go back just yet. Wait for me." I told her.
So I came home alone and went to see my sisters at home.
I told them, "Qis, Ascha...Niea nak pakai tudung"
They said, "Alhamdulillah....." and they smiled.
Then they helped me... They had wore tudung earlier, before I did and I am older than them!
So, I started covering my hair with scarf on the 30th of Dec 2011. I am so proud of what i have become. Although it was a lil late, But i know, it was still the right thing to do. Better late than never right?! Everybody is happy with my change and I do too! I will try my best to keep going to be this good, InsyaAllah.




Alhamdulillah...
