Maybe It’s Not “Just Stress”… Maybe It’s…
Embracing My 40s If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I’ve been embracing my 40s with open arms. Sure, there are more fine lines than before, and losing weight definitely isn’t as easy as it was in my 20s. But I’ve also become more confident, more comfortable in my own skin,…

Buat Macam Rumah Sendiri
We’re so afraid that people will ignore us. But sometimes, being ignored is exactly what you need. Let me tell you a story. A very long time ago, someone came to stay at our house for more than a few days. The problem? They always arrived unannounced. As Malays, we have a saying we often…

Hate
Have you ever felt such hatred for someone? I’m not a perfect person, and I’m much too familiar with this feeling. Every time I have to drive almost an hour for my doctor’s appointment. Every time I have to pay for my medications. Every time anxiety hits me out of nowhere. Every time I have…

They Called Me Crazy
I have this mindset—and I’ll be honest… it’s not natural. Like, at all. This one was built. Trained. Rewired over years—while convincing myself that my rezeki is already written for me. Because honestly? I needed a way to survive rejections. So I flipped the script: Rejection = I’m getting closer to good news. Simple. Slightly…

Have you heard of sleep hygiene?
I went for my regular check-up and my doctor asked, “Do you practice sleep hygiene?” And I confidently said: “You mean shower before sleep?” The doctor: 🙃 The table: 🙃 The chair: 🙃 The monitor: 🙃 The curtain: 🙃

5 Fingers…
My child came home from school today and shared something that weighed heavily on him. He said he’s been feeling down because some classmates are still teasing him for appearing in my content before. Others criticise what he posts on social media. Nothing inappropriate, nothing wrong — just random things he enjoys sharing. And then…

Aggressive? Shameless? Maybe. But It Worked.
Not too long ago, I was called “cheap”, “shameless”, and accused of doing cheap marketing — simply because I posted on Threads that I’m looking for clients for my takaful and unit trust business. If only that person knew me 20 years ago… they probably would’ve called me worse names. 😂 The things I did…
