Hello and welcome back to another post! Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, but I’m back with another update since it’s been a while. How have you all been? I hope everything’s going well for you.
Recently, I’ve been busy with my podcast. I even invited some friends to join me as guests! Honestly, I still get nervous about it. it feels a little strange and I’m not sure why.
Back to Podcast
Yes, I did it again—I’m back in the world of podcasting. The main difference from blogging is simple: one is written, the other is spoken. But I really enjoy both, because they’re fun and give me a way to share more stories and little pieces of life.
This time, I’m especially happy to have invited so many friends onto the podcast to chat. It feels great, and maybe I’ll really keep it going. Hopefully.
The exciting part is that I’ve already recorded three episodes and lined up more than 20 guests! Compared to hosting solo, I love the experience of communicating, exchanging stories, and learning from each other.
Meet Up / Event
On August 2, I joined a travel bloggers’ meetup here in Malaysia. It was such a fun event! Because of it, I felt inspired to restart both my podcast and my social media.
Sometimes it feels like everything is meant to be. Whether you pause or continue, you somehow find yourself back on the same path. That’s exactly how I feel returning to this space—it reminds me of when I first started out in media. Even though I stopped for a while, here I am again.
also because of this event I meet Fish and she was interested in podcasting and she will be podcast with me also because the same interests so she immediately open a new podcast and she even interview me to her blog.
Work on My Digital Planner
As you might remember from my previous post about my digital planner, I recently started a new journal called “Recovery: My Mental Health Journal.” I’m so glad I created it—it has been such an enjoyable and meaningful process. I’ve already written quite a lot in it, and it feels really good.
I believe being healthy isn’t just about the body—it’s also about the mind. Whether it’s relationships, work, or other parts of life, being honest with ourselves is so important. In fact, I think that’s one of the purest ways we can practice self-love.
Last Sunday – Visiting a Showroom
Last Sunday, I went to check out a new showroom in the KL area. The timing was a bit rushed since I also had a podcast recording scheduled, so I only managed to reach around 12:40pm.
The location was quite far inside the city—honestly, without a car, it would be a little difficult to get there. That said, the place itself was nice, and I’m glad I visited. It’s interesting because while it’s technically in the city, it still feels tucked away. Definitely a spot where having proper transport makes the experience much easier.
Reflections on My Year: From Darkness to Light
At the start of this year, I was still struggling with depression. Life wasn’t easy, and while the second half of the year hasn’t brought dramatic changes, I can honestly say I feel much better now. I’ve stopped suppressing my emotions, and slowly, I’m learning to change. Trust me—bottling up feelings only makes things worse. I may not be great at saying things out loud, but writing them down has truly helped me heal.
I’ve come to realize that growth often requires going through certain experiences before you can finally let go. These days, I no longer see such big differences in things. Instead, I try to do what makes me happy—and in doing so, I’ve noticed that my happiness also spreads to the people around me. Is this what they call “contagious joy”? Haha.
As a new podcaster, I wasn’t sure if anyone would even listen to my show. But receiving so many kind wishes and heartfelt messages has deeply touched me. To be honest, I’ve never had much confidence in myself. I love to play around and rarely stick with something for long, yet running my platforms has been the longest commitment I’ve ever made.
I’m grateful for the kind people I’ve met along the way. They’ve been like stars, shining light into my life. Truthfully, I’m still not satisfied with my voice or my work—I can be quite picky, and maybe, deep down, I’ve always disliked myself a little. But knowing that you’ve walked with me, step by step, has moved me beyond words.
That’s why I don’t quite agree when people say, “Human nature is bad.” To me, people are like mirrors—you see others, but you’re also seeing yourself. For me, it doesn’t matter; as long as you’re willing to face yourself, that’s enough. If something isn’t right, then change it. Everyone goes through this, and at the end of the day, the choice is always in your hands.

Certainly a busy life! Do you feel you are getting more confident/producing content that your listeners want as you progress with your podcast.
A busy life is really just about dedicating yourself to living fully. My self-confidence still needs work—because even though talking with others can be enjoyable, I always find myself feeling nervous for reasons I can’t quite explain.
Have a nice day x
