1QAD: What is your biggest regret?
A question that will reveal how horrible I truly was once upon a time. My biggest regret is hurting the people that don’t deserve to be hurt. Hurting the people who, without questions, chose to love and trust me. The young me was very stupid and self-absorbed. Thinking the world was at my feet and everyone should be catering to me. Never realising that my actions were very dreadful. The guilt of what I did still eats me up today. But it is what I must carry until judgement

My Favourites: August Edition
I like to share 3 things I love each month with you. And I hope you can share what you are loving too. Here are the 3 things I love in August. The Ramen Stall We went to this restaurant on a last minute whim. Didn’t have that much of an expectation about the food there. But we loved everything that we ordered! Must try their Beef Wrapped Golden Mushroom with Black Pepper Sauce and Teriyaki Squid! A little pricey though but the deliciousness makes up for all of it! Omar Suleim

Local Business Shoutout: Malikaqueenbys & As One Ummah
The first time I met Syariefah, we ended up talking far longer than we were supposed to. She has that air around her that is so calming which makes it easy for anyone to open up to her. I love her sharings about her experience about umrah and I think that is what makes me miss Mekkah and Madinah even more. For this August's Local Business Shoutout, I would like to introduce you to Syariefah and her businesses, Malikaqueenbys & As One Ummah. Syariefah, owner of Malikaqueenbys

1QAD: What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Hmmm… if I knew I could not fail… There are a bunch of things I would definitely do. Too many, in fact. In order to keep this short, I will break this into personal and business. For personal, I would like to take up various language classes. Since I will not fail, it means I will be able to be quite proficient in whatever that I am learning. I would take up Tamil, Arabic, Javanese and sign languages. Tamil because it is one of the main languages in Singapore. Arabic because

My Favourites: July Edition (Batam Special)
I like to share 3 things I love each month with you. And I hope you can share what you are loving too. Here are the 3 things I love in July. Oakwood Hotel Grand Batam This has got to be my favourite hotel in Batam. It is new so pretty much everything are still in good condition. The rooms are pretty standard. Although there is no bathtub, I am quite happy with the hotel. It helps that the hotel is linked to Grand Batam Mall. So I didn't have to go anywhere else. Just the hote

Local Business Shoutout: Big Dreams Creative Studio
Managing multiple social media is not easy for most business owners. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok can be very confusing with their own algorithms. So it was amazing to see businesses set up to help other businesses manage their social media. Big Dreams Creative Studio is one of them and I have been eyeing them since they were previously 15 Big Dreams. One day, I know I will have courage to participate in one of their courses because I know I need them. So for July's Local B

1QAD: What is the one thing you wish people understood about you?
When I was younger, probably around 11 - early 30s, I have this need where people need to understand me. They need to understand who I am, what I stand for, my perspectives, my opinions, what I like or what I hate. I must inform them because I am the one that knows! When in actuality, I know nothing at all. It is true what they say empty vessels make the most noise! Now, I don’t have this need for people to understand me. It is fine if our views and opinions clash. I don’t ow
