A Birthday Cake Lesson That Feels Like a Hug From the Past.

 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...

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 : 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...

Renamed.

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 ...

Memori Anak.

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wbt. Bapa selalu pesan ni masa hantar pegi asrama sambil hulur duit belanja: "Belajar ini adalah perjuangan, teruskan berjuang". Setiap kali hantar ke sekolah dengan pesanan ini.  Aku seorang anak yang tidak puas "minta puji" dengan bapa sebab takut bapa, tapi bukan sebab bapa pernah marah pun, malah hubungan kami adik-beradik dengan bapa sangat baik dan mesra. Sebab aku banyak masa di asrama, mungkin. Mahu cakap yang jarang betul aku ada deep conversation dengan bapa. Faktor belum matang juga mungkin. Benda ni aku sesali padahal boleh jak mengada-mengada dengan bapa. Tapi, ish nda sempat :( Aku ingat masa kecil dulu, bapa test aku eja nama sendiri Siti Zafirah atas kertas. Masa tu aku tidak pandai membaca lagi, eja nama sendiri pun tidak pandai masa tu. Apa aku buat?, aku curi-curi tengok nametag aku dengan berhati-hati supaya bapa tidak nampak lepastu tulis atas kertas konon aku berjaya tulis nama sendiri.  Bapa pernah masakkan aku maggi...
