ONE WORLD, ONE PRAY!!! #PrayForMH370

We all one world unite together, including me, to keep on praying for all 239 people on board in Malaysian Airlines' MH370 plane which it is still missing after three days without any updated news. I really hope that at this moment, there is no such negative news or rumours or any-speculations about this issue because it is a serious matter that really cannot makes nonsense as jokes, or whatever it is.

I am very pity with a girl in Twitter (with the username of @Gorgxous_ ) that she is keep on waiting on her dad who is one of the crews in that plane. Even though I live without my own dad, but I can feel how painful she is and I understand her situation right now. When I Look and scroll and read every single tweet, I feel like I want to cry.

To some people those who make any negative news, please stop it because coincidentally you make other people feel worried and more upset. What if you are in that situation, how will you feel? You are missing at nowhere in a long period of time, there's no way for getting help or else. So please again, do not make any nonsense points about this case. Let the international authorities investigate it and we all gonna get the answer soon.

But, whatever it is, as we all are waiting for any updated news, keep praying to God so that God will answer our prayers. And yes, God is protecting them as well. Today marks as Day 3 and show your support to victims' families so that they will stay strong to face this painful situation. That's all from me. x #PrayForMH370

My APPLAUSE cover performance live from UiTM Sarawak!!!

On January 18, 2014, I was performing Lady Gaga's "Applause" for D'BES 2014 Carnival which organized by DBS (Diploma in Business Study) students in my campus, MARA Technology University (UiTM) Sarawak, Samarahan Campus One, Malaysia. I was excited to perform it on that night, never had a sense of nervous at all even just a little bit. The only thing in my mind was "I need the applause. I need to give out my spirit on that stage with the power of applause by the audiences." That was it.

A MESSAGE TO MALAYSIANS FROM THE BLACK. #SayNOtoPerhimpunanHaram31Dis2013

Ya Tuhan, please la... Janganlah buat perhimpunan haram kat KL time malam ambang taun baharu, cukuplah sejarah lalu waktu Peristiwa 13 Mei, BERSiH dengan warna kuning sana sini... Dahlah you all buat kat Dataran Merdeka (DM). DM tu dahlah kat KL, bila keluar news disebar worldwide bukan KL aja kena point, Malaysia in whole pun kena juga bah... Sometimes I feel hairan dengan some people nowadays, rasa tak puas hati sikit dah mau buat demonstrasi, perhimpunan haram bagai. Saya yang duduk jauh kat Sarawak nie pun rasa tak nyaman bila dengar aja pasal perhimpunan nie...

Everyone in this world deserves to have their own happiness in New Year Eve, so please don't ruin that moment because it's so valuable and meaningful to everyone. Getting happy in life in 2014 is so much great for me. Yes I know, you guys want your rights but you guys should do it in a proper way, proper channel and not that way (I mean, perhimpunan haram). Tuhan dah berikan setiap umatNya (it's you all) dengan akal, gunakanlah  akal yang diberiNya itu sebaik-baiknya...

So again please, I hope there'll be no perhimpunan haram on that night. Because once you guys buat juga perhimpunan itu, you have ruined the end chapter of 2013. At the same time, you have ruined the beginning chapter of 2014. You make that bad thing become a history forever not to the citizen in KL, not just around Malaysia, but around the world. That's all from me. xx
