Hi.. I know I missed to post on friday, I'm sorry about that. A bit about me, I'm born and bred in a small country in Southeast Asia, Malaysia. I came from a small town in Selangor. Being a small asian person, with a great distance away from America, UK, and the west in general, I cannot help but being fascinated with the many things that came out of the west. One of the things that fascinates me is humans there. We are of the same species, yet it seems the crimes committed in the west are sometimes far more egregious than I could have ever expected.

If the stories are to be believed, I feel extremely sorry for Ms Roberts for having gone through them. Underage and taken advantages of by adults around her, using her body and compensating her with money when she could not have possibly understood the effects of it at her tender age.

This year's Father's Day was a solemn occasion. We didn't celebrate it this year since dad passed away a few days before.

A little message to my fellow Muslims all over the globe, when we're celebrating Eid this year, don't forget those who can't eat despite Ramadhan ended, remember those who has no home, those who wear the same clothes over and over again because they can't afford new ones, those who have wants to celebrate like us but has to defend their home from invaders, those who has less than us, those who are sick, and those who has left us. Celebrate in moderation. Create memories. Forgive and ask for forgiveness. And most of all, be thankful to Allah for giving us the chance for a great Ramadhan. Hope to meet this month again next year, Insya Allah. p/s: Will post my Eid celebration pics soon :)
