2020. A Curse Or A Blessing?

With the Covid-19 pandemic spreading across the globe, causing countless countries to shut down, Malaysia is no exception. We implemented the Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18 March. Cases of infection went up, then it went down. But then it went back up again and from the looks of it, this damn virus isn't going away anytime soon. Before we know it, the year is closing to an end.   This is the first time humans have encountered such a threat. We've had our fair share of infectious diseases throughout history but never to this extent. We will be talking about this event for many generations to come. It effected everyone and everything especially the economy. A lot of companies went out of business. A lot of hotels shut down for good as the country closes its borders. So many people lost their jobs and for those who get to keep them, they had to work from home.

However, by doing so, I don't believe we were meant to become 'slaves' in the process 9 hours a day may sound like a short amount of time considering there are 24 hours in a day. Exclude the 7 hour bedtime, you practically spend the whole day working and by the time you get home, you're left with just a few hours to spare before you hit the sack. So you spend your life working from Monday to

Same Old Thing

On 8 December 2019, I released a song and for the first time in my life, I made a music video to go with it. And the feedback, love and support i received from it were overwhelming. 80 views in 1 hour, 300 views in 24 hours and currently, after 2 months, the viewcount is in the 700 ballpark. This doesn't happen with my previous songs. Some have reached this number but never that quick. This simply goes to show that apart from the quality of the song itself, video plays a prominent role in engaging viewers' attention, even if the main content is the audio. Music video is new territory for me. I have been doing research on it since a couple of years ago and finally got to realize the vision through this song. The song was written in 2017 but i kept it away and it was put on hold as I was working on my previous project, the rap song called Dunia . Then right after releasing the rap song, I started vlogging. Vlogging had my full attention for two good years until the music bug
