The Mission

I keep having this idea lately, that i have a greater purpose in life than to just settle down on this 9 hour routine for the rest of my working life. I'm talking about music. It's what i love. Since me & my band successfully recorded two songs which my friend Shaiful (Epul) wrote himself, I've been having these urges to do it again. Now that i have experience doing studio time and getting somewhat familiar about it, my heart is secretly begging for more. It doesn't matter if i have connections or not in the music industry (we really did have connections, which drove us to start recording in the first place, but that's a whole different story), that there's no guarantee that any particular song would make it in the long run, but it's all about expressing my ideas and delivering messages to the world (if any). I feel like i can contribute to music with a positive impact. Well, you'll never know if you're good at something until you actually do it, and observe the feedback..which i really haven't. I have a couple of originals of my own that i wrote years ago and i figured, why not? Let's just record it and add it to our collection. And hopefully more new ideas to come. Not to become famous through music, but mainly to do it just out of the love for it. Use music as an output. Recording music has become a form of art for me. Seriously, i believe it can be therapeutic too!

On the contrary, funding would be the real problem here. Studio time costs money..by the hour! Depending on different recording studios and quality, the prices range from RM60 to RM150 per hour. And it sure takes more than an hour to complete a perfect song. Hell, it takes days sometimes. So money is the only thing standing between me and my passion which i am yet to fulfill. I guess i will now start saving some cash solely for this mission only. I will write more songs. And i will quench this feeling. I will make a stand, and leave a mark in this beautiful life of mine, a mark that might probably live forever.. Sounds far-fetched but it is truly what i feel.

Malays Are Not In Danger. Fear Is The Real Danger.

Malays have long carried a fear, the idea that the Chinese will one day take over the country. Traumatized by the 13th May incident and with politicians further amplifying the notion during every election season, this belief became deeply rooted. It is repeated in family conversations, passed down through generations, and used as a convenient tool to divide Malaysians. But when we examine this narrative closely, it does not hold up. It is not reality. It is strategy. Let’s debunk it. Malaysia’s Parliament has 222 seats. To amend the Constitution or make any major changes, a government would need two thirds, which is 148 seats. In the 2018 general election, Pakatan Harapan, with DAP included, won 113. In 2022, they won 82. Both numbers were far short of 148. And no Chinese-majority party has ever, in the history of Malaysia, controlled Parliament on its own. The only way to form government has always been through coalitions that include Malay-led parties. Beyond numbers, the Constitutio...

Vlogging Cured My Social Anxiety

Although I no longer post weekly vlogs, I still pick up the camera every now and then. I want to share how vlogging helped me grow socially and rebuild my confidence. For most of my life, I’ve been introverted. Crowds and social situations made me anxious, and I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in. Over the years, those feelings grew heavier, to the point where my confidence took a real hit. Speaking in front of people — or even being in a busy room — could trigger panic, sweating, and an overwhelming urge to escape. Then in 2018, I stumbled into vlogging. At first, it was just an experiment — a way to push myself into discomfort. I set myself a 50-vlog challenge, and by the time I hit my 50th, I realized I loved it. I kept going for years, posting regularly until 2023, when I slowed down. What I didn’t expect was the transformation. Vlogging forced me to step outside my shell, to speak up, and to share my voice openly. Over time, my confidence came back stronger than ever. Speaking ...

I Went To Shanghai And It Was AWESOME!

  My office mates and I went to Shanghai last week. It was the annual budget meeting cum staff retreat, and this time, they decided to go to China! I was thrilled because I had never set foot in China before. It was Monday, 24 November 2025. We flew with Shanghai Air, and the flight took five hours. Once we landed at Pudong Airport, a huge tour bus took us on a one-hour ride to the city center and dropped us off at the Broadway Mansions Hotel. The hotel was a really old building, but the upkeep made it look modern while retaining some of its historic charm. The doormen and bellmen wore Al Capone-style uniforms with trench coats and hats, keeping the old-time vibe alive. We checked in on the fifth floor, which had an okay view, but once we settled in, Aliff and I immediately went out to explore. While the board members and MCs proceeded with the budget meeting, it was free and easy for most of the secretariat. Aliff and I set out with the sole goal of finding a new SIM card for him....
