My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard… Pardon me! But this song keeps running in my mind. What suddenly caught my attention was the new Gap brand’s advertisement for its denim. This advertisement gained attention on the internet lately. If you are here, I am pretty sure you have seen the ad, and the attention totally makes sense. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gap (@gap)   So what’s the rave about? It may seem like just another jeans ad, but on social media, you can never predict how people will react. You can view this scenario as a social experiment, examining how the majority of people react and whether it has a positive effect on society.  The Gap is famous for promoting its jeans; they have collaborated with many artists, and this is not their first advertisement to gain more views. This particular ad wins people’s hearts because.. It's not just denim, it is a feeling! It is true when they say intention matters! Gap created this a...

What if your partner is hangry and ignoring your texts? Don’t panic! That’s just one mood out of many. Each date will be different with your partner. It just depends on the day, the weather, and also on whether your girlfriend has already had her lunch. (if she hasn’t… good luck). The fun part? Every kind of date brings a different vibe. So, let’s dive in. Adventurous date If you both had a good sleep last night, and you are all pumped to have an energetic day. You can make it an active or sports-themed date.  It does not have to be perfect athletic attire and equipment. You can simply head to the nearby park and explore the area. Or, if you are like me, who hates it when anyone mentions outdoor activities that make you sweat, you can try out a new activity you have always wanted to try.  Something new, like pottery, an art class, or hitting the arcade. You will feel the adrenaline rush while having fun trying something fresh together. If you do not want to go out and are...

Having grown up in Sungai Petani, there’s always a sense of comfort when I return. The breeze feels lighter here, maybe it’s the fewer traffic jams (no shade to Penang!) Whenever I’m away, the one thing I miss most is the food here. It never changes, yet it never fails to hit the spot even after months away. I'd like to introduce you to some of my must-visit restaurants in Sungai Petani.  McDota This local fast food restaurant is timeless. If you grew up in Sungai Petani, chances are McDota is part of your childhood. The moment you step through the door, the aroma instantly brings back old memories. Anyways,as one of the oldest eateries in town, McDota has earned its legendary status for its crispy fried chicken. Their fried chicken menu comes in fun sets with names like Lucky Plate, Happiness Plate, and Snack Plate, small touches that make customers feel special. They have many other dishes in this restaurant, which will make you come back to this place. In my opinion, they have ...

  Heyyy! Welcome to my blog! I feel excited just writing about this topic. And by the way, I am writing right after my Watson shopping. The longest time that I have spent ‘outside’ is in this place. Not to mention the occasional 50% discounts and the excitement after seeing those announcements.  It is best to try out new cosmetics and see if they suit our skin. But I tend to be loyal to a few brands and stick with them for years. If it suits me well, I don't see a need to change. ( I lowkey want to try new brands) I started experimenting with makeup during my University days. I feel the excitement when I enter Watson's until now. My siblings and I will even make this sister's day out. With lots of gossip, of course.  Now, let's go right into the topic. I can't wait to unveil my lists.  Ellipse Vitamin hair Mask  I cannot stress how effective this is on my hair. My hair is naturally curly. That's it! That is the whole sentence. You already guessed my hair is high...

I am a baker by heart. But once in a while, I feel like a chef who can cook anything. I’m not saying I’m a MasterChef, but Gordon Ramsay would probably nod in approval… or scream. Either way, I win. Sometimes, I’ll wake up mid-cooking video and run straight to the kitchen. Because I know that once that motivation is gone, my stove won’t see me again for days. I’ve tried many dishes, but here’s the thing: the recipe is never perfect in the book. I always adjust the ingredients to my mood, and honestly? That’s the fun of cooking. I’m going to share some of my favourite (chaotic but tasty) dishes I’ve cooked. Who knows, maybe you’ll try one too. Bread pizza (Cheezy cravings) Bread pizza is my go-to when I’m craving real pizza but don’t have the patience to wait. This will take approximately 15 minutes to make, and you can enjoy the cheesy delight. I will add spinach and mushrooms to the dish to make it healthier. You can simply turn this into a completely healthy dish by reducing the amou...

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.  We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment.  To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai.  Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
