Brazilian Longan

after a long time of patiently growing this plant, it finally bore fruit today, much to our excitement... Brazilian longan is a tropical fruit appreciated for its sweet, juicy flesh and delicate floral flavour... grown in suitable warm climates, this variety produces round fruits with light brown skin and translucent white pulp surrounding a single seed... refreshing and naturally sweet, it is enjoyed fresh and is also used in desserts and beverages, making it a delightful fruit that combines taste, nutrition, and tropical appeal.... interestingly, the fruit emerged at the tip of the branches, making it difficult to reach by hand... upon arriving home, I immediately took the stairs and set about retrieving the fruit, using a wooden stick to knock it down due to its height... the fruit proved exceptionally hard, which perhaps explains why no animals had attempted to break it open or feed on it... in the end, a stone mortar was required to crack it open... to my surprise and delight, despite its tough exterior, the fruit was remarkably delicious...

Gladiator Character

Naja shared a creatively edited video in which my face was transformed into a gladiator character, giving it a dramatic and heroic look... surprisingly, the result turned out quite impressive - not too bad at all, and it certainly added a fun and entertaining twist to the video that made us laugh and enjoy the moment together...

Vegetable Soup

there was no electricity in our residential area, so instead of staying in the dark at home, we decided to go out for dinner at Saddam Restaurant... as I was still experiencing gum pain and could not eat much earlier during the iftar gathering, I chose a light meal consisting of vegetable soup, plain rice, and warm barley water... meanwhile, Azim and Abyana ordered fried Maggi... given the situation, it was more practical and comfortable to dine at a nearby mamak restaurant than to remain at home without electricity power...

Iftar Ramadhan UNITAR 2026

the Iftar Ramadhan UNITAR 2026 was a meaningful and heartwarming event organized through a close collaboration between UNITAR club societies and the Student Affairs Department... held in the spirit of togetherness and compassion, the programme celebrated and honoured the children from Ulin Nuha, Klang orphaned children, creating a memorable evening filled with warmth, gratitude, and shared blessings... the event was officially officiated by Tan Sri Vice-Chancellor, reflecting UNITAR’s strong commitment to community engagement, social responsibility, and the values of empathy and unity during the holy month of Ramadhan...

I delivered a tazkirah immediately after the Nasyid performance, during which I was given 30 minutes to share reflections with the audience... titled Ramadhan: The Month of Returning to Allah, the tazkirah focused on the spiritual essence of Ramadhan as a sacred period for self-reflection, repentance, and strengthening one’s relationship with Allah... the session invited listeners to pause, realign their intentions, and embrace Ramadhan as a meaningful journey of faith, humility, and spiritual renewal... 

in this tazkirah, I highlighted 9 key focus points centred on the theme, emphasizing Ramadhan as a divine call for believers to return sincerely to Allah SWT... drawing from the Al-Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW, the session reflected on returning to Allah SWT through true repentance, strengthening the quality of prayer, and reconnecting with the Al-Quran as a source of guidance... Ramadhan was also presented as a month that nurtures patience, sincerity, and noble character, encouraging believers to guard their speech, actions, and intentions... emphasis was placed on rebuilding relationships with others through kindness, generosity, forgiveness, and social responsibility, particularly towards the needy... special attention was given to the last 10 nights of Ramadhan as the spiritual peak for supplication, night prayers, and seeking forgiveness... ultimately, the tazkirah called upon participants to view Ramadhan as a turning point for lasting change, where the values, discipline, and spirituality cultivated during the month continue well beyond its conclusion...

Home-Based Online Learning

a memo was received from the principal of SMADATA informing parents that students were allowed to return home today due to a water supply disruption at the school... following the announcement, Azim and Abyana took the school bus at 9:00 am and went directly to Naja’s office... as an alternative arrangement, learning will continue through home-based online learning from 11 March to 17 March, ensuring that lessons proceed smoothly from home despite the unforeseen situation...

Sore Gums

I began experiencing severe gum pain on Monday, which became increasingly intense and made it difficult for me to continue fasting... I have an impacted wisdom tooth that ideally needs to be surgically removed; however, the procedure must be postponed for at least 6 months after my stent placement, or until I receive medical clearance from Dr. Liew, as I am currently on blood‑thinning medication... as a result, episodes of gum pain have been occurring on and off... although I have been managing with pain relief and anti‑inflammatory medication, this time the swelling developed into an infection, making it necessary for me to take antibiotics prescribed by ADL Dental Clinic today... due to the severity of the pain and the infection, I was unfortunately unable to fast today...

SRE Katering and Kanopi

on our journey back to Simpang Durian, we made a brief stop at SRE Katering and Kanopi, a modest roadside shop located near the Simpang Pertang by offering a variety of local products, including biscuits, kerepek, and traditional kuih... this initiative reflects the team’s commitment to small-scale business development and community engagement, while showcasing quality homemade snacks that appeal to all age groups... through this venture, SRE Katering and Kanopi not only diversified its services beyond catering and canopies but also supported local tastes and traditions by bringing familiar, well-loved treats to the community...

Dry Goods

we both went to Zemart, Bahau to purchase dry goods in preparation for the upcoming Hari Raya... by buying our necessities early and in bulk, we were able to plan ahead comfortably and avoid the rush and stress that often come with last‑minute shopping as the festive season approaches...
