Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum wbt. Hai.

04 November is unforgettable date. 
Bitter. But memorable. 
Hard. But acceptable.



I was born in 1995. Bapa was in 1959.

I just realised, the numbers are around there. 

Ila, Bapa.
1995, 1959. 

9559. Special.

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...

Assalamualaikum wbt. Will be right back with words, I uploaded photos first, later I come to write. So here's me and Dayang on the other day, 06 March 2022 (Sunday) at Lahad Datu, Sabah: It's my very first time driving to Lahad Datu. Seriously, 2 hours driving was quite tiring but worth it cause you ain't take that long road for no reasons, duh. As for this trip, I wanted to reach Dayang! We are both hardly can make time to meet each other. Last jumpa Dayang masa tengok Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald kot. Tu 2018 tau. Or, did I last met Dayang on our friend's wedding?, um not sure but that was a long long long long looooong time ago. Dayang is someone who is very something and special in my heart, for I am always telling her that I am so proud and glaaaad to be one of Dayang's close friends. Masa sekolah bangga eh rapat dengan Dayang sebab dia Ketua Pengawas Asrama, hello yang buat ucapan depan tu deskmate saya! haha sampai macam tu sekali. Hone...

I finally drink coffee.

-
  Was not a coffee drinker. Was not a fan because it's bitter. Life's so sweet for I don't need coffee to make it better. At least that what I have thought earlier. Not until I realised, Life has been hard I fell and crashed Hopeless and crumpled within whys and hows? To look back how I miss the old smiles and awes The butterflies and the flowers The scents and the colours for I was once believed everything is ours. Wilted and gone,  broken and torn. Thought you were a home, but guess I was wrong? Coffee is bitter. But life is alot more to compare. Now I finally drink coffee, so I can believe that If I can quench a cup of bitter coffee, Then I must be able to survive life.  You'll see.

Assalamualaikum wbt. Hi everyone!. Saya membuka entri blog selepas siri broken hearted dengan cerita throwback ke Kundasang bersama Dayang yeay! It took me forever ya untuk publish entri ini, seriously ini adalah pengalaman paling bermakna dalam 28 tahun hidup di muka bumi dan sedekad mengenali Dayang. 26 & 27 April 2023 (Rabu dan Khamis), Dayang ke Kota Belud dari Kota Marudu untuk beraya di rumah sekejap sebelum kami menuju Kundasang wee~ Dayang is a best friend. She has dimples on her cheeks which I adore since Pra-U in SEMEKAR hehe. Plan-nya mahu beraya rumah kawan-kawan di Kundasang-Ranau dan mahu bawa melawat SEMEKAR sama-sama tapi timing kami tidak ngam pula dengan kawan-kawan sebab tidak available mereka masa itu. But, you know what kami tetap menikmati staycation kami dengan gembira sekali!. Aaa mengingatinya membuatkan saya mahu mengulanginya lagi! Every moment dengan Dayang adalah favourite-ku!. Disebabkan kawan-kawan Kundasang-Ranau tidak available, so Dayang an...

Assalamualaikum wbt. Hey! 16 November 2018, Jumaat. Kami plan sudah lama. Kami juga lama tidak jumpa. Sangat lama. .Kami sama-sama menanti Fantastic Beasts 2 untuk ditayangkan sama-sama dan saling berkongsi keterujaan yang sama, Plan, Plan. Plan dan akhirnya alhamdulillah, pada tarikh tertera di atas, berjumpalah seorang Zafirah dan kawan baiknya semasa tingkatan 6 yang bernama Siti Nasihah Jasni juga dikenali sebagai Dayang. Saya amat menyayangi Dayang dan amat meyakini semua orang yang mengenali Dayang memounyai perasaan yang sama. Sayang dan sangat menghargai perkenalan malah persahabatan ini. Alhamdulillah, terima kasih Tuhan untuk mengatur pertemuan dengan Dayang dari totally stranger kepada merindui bila lama tidak bertemu. Teringat masa jumpa hari tu, mahu bergema satu Centre Point Sabah tu oleh teriakan teruja kami sambil berlari berpelukan. Orang lain pandang-pandang. Maaf kerana tidak menghormati hak orang awam ketika itu, tapi kami betul-betul la...
