30 Things I am Grateful For (ft. Dayang).

-

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 :

  1. My family.

  2. My best friends.

  3. A stable job.

  4. Having the courage to take the first steps.

  5. Putting myself first (and learning to say no).

  6. Self development and improvement.

  7. Exploring new hobbies (out of comfort zones).

  8. Trying healthy coping mechanisms & expressing emotions better (and in healthy way).

  9. The privilege to collect things I love.

  10. Simply being able to breathe.

  11. Being part of this dunya  (by just living).

  12. Good health.

  13. A home.

  14. My car.

  15. Being single.

  16. Not needing permission to do what I want.

  17. The beauty of knowing vs. the beauty of not knowing everything.

  18. Coki-coki (simple happiness!).

  19. A terrible breakup (because growth came with it).

  20. BTS & Treasure (hehe)

  21. Working at a school close to home, just as I prayed for.

  22. Keeping this blog on.

  23. Taylor Swift songs.

  24. Being able to read the Al-Quran.

  25. Every person who has crossed paths with me.

  26. Delicious food.

  27. Being posted to Tawau.

  28. Having so much space for myself.

  29. Building adult friendships.

  30. My passion for teaching.


Alhamdulillah for all the little to the biggest bleesings ya Allah . 

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah.

KJ 2 : A Wise Acceptance Speech from KJ

  Assalamualaikum wbt. Hai! KJ menang Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian (ABPBH) 2024 : Penyampai Radio Popular. Ya ya ya sejak KJ jadi DJ sudah jadi macam fenomena pula sebab, bekas MP kot masuk industri hiburan?. Oh well, sejujurnya aku tiada tengok pun ABPBH tu, malahan tidak tahu pun acara itu berlangsung sebab lama tidak tengok TV mainstream, sangat lama. Kitanya pasang TV tengok Netflix dan Youtube saja. Peredaran zaman kan? Anyhow, sempena kemengan KJ tersebut, amatlah membanggakan dan mengharukan apabila dalam "acceptance speech"-nya.  He said : "Never give up, percaya pada rancangan Allah. Alhamdulillah!" "Do your best, Allah will do the rest" "Do what you can, Allah will do what you can't" I take them words as a reminder for me. Sometimes, we need someone to tell and remind us about the fact that, all the things we need to do in life is, our best. And the rest, hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel . "Sufficient for us is All...

Why We Should Give TREASURE a Chance?

 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, 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...
