[Lyrics on (English) CC] Alhamdulillah, after months of writing this, it comes to life! This rap is inspired from what I’ve gone through myself; loneliness & some symptoms of social anxiety (because I’m not gonna self-diagnosing). Ultimately, this rap is just what personally what I want to say to all people around me. Especially to those that I’ve bonded with before, but suddenly being silenced. Considering of sending these to a few people? In Islam, Prophet Muhammad encourages us to give salam to everyone possible. At least, in a broader sense, to greet. I remember hearing this & thinking “Saying hi to EVERYONE? How is that possible? We would be tired, of both greeting & replying the greetings.” But now, I’m the one who desires people to give salam to me. I’m the one who desires people to come to me, greet me & talk to me. Because now I realized, the main focus of the encouragement is not how we should try to greet as many people as possible. But the focus...

Susahnya mencari kerja pada tahun 2019 ini. PNGK kena tinggi, kemahiran insaniah kena tinggi, kena mahir buat kerja, barulah dapat menjamin temuduga kerja. Ya, baru temuduga kerja. Malah, sebelum temuduga kerja itu sendiri, kalau kau silap sikit hantar emel, tak dilayan. Silap hantar CV & resume, tak dilayan. Masa temuduga pula, cakap silap sikit, dah ada potensi untuk tak dilayan. Pakaian kurang kemas sikit pun, penemuduga fikir dua tiga kali nak ambil bekerja. Di laman sosial pun ada tulis sikit benda yang pihak HR tak suka, kena tolak permohonan kita. Ah, susahnya! Di zaman di mana terdapatnya lambakan bekalan (supply) graduan yang berpotensi tinggi untuk memenuhi kehendak pasaran dalam pekerjaan (demand), sememangnya tidaklah mengejutkan bahawa pihak HR akan sangat, sangat, sangat memilih. Nak kena jadi manusia yang sempurna agaknya, baru kita boleh diambil bekerja! Aku ada siap-siap tulis lagi di penulisan ini tentang macam mana situasi ini boleh berlaku, se...

Ugh, the struggle of fitting in... The classic, cliche, but true struggle... You want to fit in, but you don't want to sacrifice that individualness of yours. But that might be the only obstacle between you and the clique. You want to stand out, but you don't want to sacrifice being accepted into a clique. We've been told to be the same, yet when we grow up, we want to stand out. How ironic. (Jay Shetty) Some people might think that they need to give in if they want to fit in. But that is not necessarily true. Here's some tips to fit in, while standing out at the same time; 1. Accept, embrace & love yourself. This is the very first crucial step. What are your strengths? What are the things about yourself that you cherish? People come in & go out of your life. They may say a few things while they're at it. So, regardless what others say, you need to first & foremost learn to accept, embrace & love yourself. 2. Be yourself & do you...

Sebagai seseorang yang berasal daripada Semenanjung Malaysia, yang belajar di Timur Malaysia (dah 2 tahun dah pun), aku dapat mengesahkan bahawa sememangnya suasana kehidupan berbilang agama, bangsa & budaya antara kedua-dua kawasan berbeza. Dan betul, aku rasa secara umumnya suasana di Timur Malaysia lebih baik. Walaupun begitu, aku percaya, dua-dua ada aspek-aspek yang bagus, ada yang kurang bagus juga. Ada aspek-aspek bagus di Semenanjung yang aku rasa baik bawa ke Timur ni, dan ada juga aspek-aspek di Semenanjung yang aku rasa lega tak ada di Timur ni. Antara satu aspek itu ialah betapa tindakan warga Semenanjung ini sangat terikat dengan sterotaip-sterotaip agama, budaya & kaum. Terutamanya kaum. “Apa maksudnya ‘terikat’ tu?” Nak cerita pasal sterotaip ni pun, aku dah cerita panjang kat sini. Itu isu lain, sekarang aku nak tunjuk apa maksud terikat ni. Okey, contoh stereotaip yang paling aku biasa dengar ialah Melayu pemalas & Cina pandai meniaga. Maksud aku ...

They say that likes, views & shares is not important. Here’s what I think. I view all of those numbers of likes, views & shares, as metrics, for the sake of measurement. For example, CGPA is used a metric to measure students’ performance. Salary is used as a metric to measure workload (I guess? I mean, I'm not working yet, so I don't know. But you get the point, right?). The same goes to numbers of likes, views & shares. But the question is, the metric of what? Because unlike those 2 examples, the number of shares, likes & views of a content can have many meaning. For example, an inspiring video having millions of views, likes & shared is a sign that the idea is well-received. But, let’s say the same number of views, likes & shared is owned by an embarrassing, or humiliating video. Does that mean that video is favoured by many too? So, what are the metrics of likes, shares & views? Well, I think it’s up to you actually. And how do we do t...

Just want to drop a little something. This is supposed to be lyrics to a rap video. But I’ve tried rapping to it, and sounds suuuuuper weird. But still I think it deserves to be heard, so here it is. "To Those Boys" You try to push me down, I'll rise up higher to the sky Calling me out, say straight in my face all the lies Calling me "sweetie, hip hop & rap don't match your style" Calling me "wifey, make me a sandwich, Eastern style" Calling me "woman, don't expose yourself to get likes" Well. that is funny, you think I do it for the likes? Listen, I'm all up to hear differences in opinions, criticisms & rebuttals and I'll learn from them But if you're judging me only based on what's between my legs, then do you, also, judge yourself only based on what's between yours? Do you put your self-value only on what's between yours?
