 Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wbt. Hi. It’s 4th November 2025 (Tuesday). A lovely day to update this other corner of mine, because today marks 11 years since we’ve been living in this world without Bapa. Eleven years. Amazing how Allah SWT strengthened us through all of it. Alhamdulillah.  And not a single minute passes without remembering him. We still talk about Bapa at random times, in random places, whenever something reminds us of him. We still love him deeply, and miss him endlessly. Today I want to share one of the many things I learned from Bapa. A lesson I never realised was a "lesson"  back then. At that time it was funny and cute . But, to think of it again, it's one of the sweetest and the loveliest sides of Bapa.  Bapa's self-bought cake on his 53rd birthday. Exacly on 03 February 2012. Tell me, how many people do you know who buy their own birthday cake and proudly request their name and age to be written solid and clear on it?. Because Bapa did it, for r...

Assalamualaikum wbt, hi! On 7th February 2025, Dayang and I had quite a long call and one of those catch ups, as always where life updates turn into deep reflections and random laughters haha. We ended up talking about how life has been treating us so far, and somehow we decided to list 30 things we’re grateful for. We shared the first 19 together, and the remaining 11 came from my own personal reflections.  Here they are : My family. My best friends. A stable job. Having the courage to take the first steps. Putting myself first (and learning to say no). Self development and improvement. Exploring new hobbies (out of comfort zones). Trying healthy coping mechanisms & expressing emotions better (and in healthy way). The privilege to collect things I love. Simply being able to breathe. Being part of this dunya  (by just living). Good health. A home. My car. Being single. Not needing permission to do what I want. The beauty of...

Assalamualaikum wbt, hi there world. Last week was cloudy. 1. My first week without Syamira. Syamira is a best friend of mine in school. I always looked forward to going to school because of her. You know how school doesn’t really sound fun until you have someone you can count on seeing every day? It felt like it was just me and my bestie against the world. But Syamira has now transferred. We knew this day would come the moment we got close. She went through so much just to make this transfer happen. There were countless tears shed along the way, but finally, after all the drama with PPD, my dearest friend was able to move to a school that allows her and her family to live a happier life. At the end of the day, when family is by your side, everything feels more bearable, right? I know too well what it feels like to be far from family, so although my school bestie is no longer walking the same school grounds as me, life has to go on :) 2. News of my KP leaving. As if losing Syamira wasn...

 Assalamualaikum, hai. Kelas aku seawal 7:00 pagi hampir setiap hari. Aku suka kelas pagi, fresh. Murid-muridku masih dengan mindset yang murni. Hari ini, masuk kelas pagi macam biasa. Cuaca redup, cahaya malap untuk menerangi setiap sudut kelas. Lampu dinyalakan untuk membangkitkan semangat melihat anak-anak murid yang aku kira cukup bersedia untuk menadah apa pun pelajaran pagi ini :) Berjalanlah masa dengan pengisian ilmu. Menjadikan aku terharu dan sangat bersyukur atas nikmat mengajar tentang agama kita di waktu pagi. Setiap hari. Ya, nikmat yang menjadikan kelasku sebagai pembuka lembaran pertama dalam diari harian sekolah murid-muridku, setiap hari.  Dalam lembaran pertama itu, dicatat pena dengan kandungan pelajaran tentang Pendidikan Islam :') Bayangkan, pekerjaanmu menuntutmu untuk menyampaikan pengajaran tentang agamamu. Ini nikmat yang tidak diperoleh semua. Di dunia dibayar kerana mengajar Pendidikan Islam, di akhirat pula   dijanjikan p...

 Assalamualaikum wbt. Hello Yellow Marshmallow! I am writing this to celebrate my very first TREASURE comeback as a newly born Teume. Their 3rd mini album,  LOVE PULSE , was freshly released on September 1st, 2025 (Monday) at 6PM KST (5PM Malaysia time). It’s been a while since I last joined thousands of fans waiting excitedly for the premiere comeback of a K-pop group. My heart was racing during the countdown T_T As someone who’s just joined a K-pop fandom called Treasure Maker – TEUME , I’m super excited to write about my almost unwavering love for TREASURE . While waiting for BTS to make their comeback next year, I suddenly found myself hooked on Treasure instead. Haihh~ let this fangirl’s heart take a break, I whispered to myself. But know this, Treasure is a group that truly deserves the spotlight. I can honestly say they’re so underrated, even though their songs are seriously good! And the best part is, most of their songs are shaped by the members themselves throug...

Assalamualaikum wbt, hi everyone I hope you are doing fine EXCEPT for the people who support Izrahell! Just a quick update, I’ve just renamed my blog (and did some changes on the header and some colour touches too).  From this: To this: Since I’ve always loved whales, starting from BTS’s Purple Whale  and their song Whalien 52  which made me relate so much to the idea of being “a lonely whale” #sorryzafirah. But wallahi, I’ve carried that feeling with me for a long time and so fine with it. But fast forward to today, I ’ve come to realize how truly amazing these creatures are. Whales aren’t just adorable, they play a huge role in the balance of the sea’s ecosystem. Every part of their existence brings benefits to other living things (even the tiniest bits count!).  And the most inspiring part? A whale continues giving back to nature even when its journey in the ocean ends. How lovely that sounds? 🐳 As a human being, I’ve always wished to be someone who brings ...

Assalamualaikum wbt, anyeonghaseyo yerubun! The last time I wrote about my global sweethearts was five years ago. Wow, right? I had wanted to write more about how much of an ARMY I’ve been year after year. But let me tell you, even though I didn’t write about it, I’m still a proud BTS ARMY. My heart still beats purple, okay!  💜 >< It’s BTS’ 12th FESTA equal to my Bangtan turns 12, you guys! And this is my 6th FESTA. FESTA : A celebration of BTS’ anniversary since their debut on June 13, 2013. So mark it 130613 was the birth of the legendary BTS! So basically, this year (2025) marks 12 years of BTS standing strong in the K-pop industry. * Clap! Clap! Clap! I started stanning BTS in 2019 , during the Map of the Soul: Persona era. Boy With Luv ft. Halsey was where it all began. I loved Halsey first and didn’t really know BTS. But for Halsey, I listened to BWL  and that was the moment I knew... I had fallen for BTS. Oh wait, let’s be honest and throw it back a bit hard...
