The Inspiring Story of Malala Yousafazai



Malala Yousafzai is not like any other 16 years old teenager. She is one brave, opinionated girl who was known for her education and women's right activism in Pakistan where Taliban ruled. She fought for education for girls (Taliban is known for banning girls from attending school) and in the process, got shot in the head and neck. Miraculously, she survived. Almost being killed did not deter her from fighting for education rights.

She was featured on front page of Time magazine and was one of "The 100 Most Influential People In The World". She was also nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest so far.


"The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born ... I am not against anyone, neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I'm here to speak up for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all terrorists and extremists."

That was her first public speech after the assassination attempt. 

Inspiring isn't it? Education is important. Knowledge is power.  Girls in Pakistan thirst for knowledge but have to face the fear of being killed when attending school. Here in Malaysia, education is free, with good learning facilities and dedicated educators and no one is stopping you from attending schools. Yet students take things for granted.

Penat sikit mau ponteng, demam sikit mau ponteng. Masa di sekolah tidak mau belajar sungguh2, ambil semua peluang yang ada untuk tambah pengetahuan. Bukan saja dalam bilik darjah tapi masa aktiviti luar darjah. Ini tidak, bercinta sakan pastu mau bunuh diri kalau frust. Heloo dik, spender pun masih mak bapak belikan, ada hati mau pikir pasal kawin. Forever and ever konon. Eh, emo pulak. 


When you are in school, you would wish you finish with school faster and can't wait to grow up and be an adult. But trust me, schooling days will be the memories you wish to relived again.

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/ I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway. As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting. I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands.  I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself "Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!" As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment.  Hotel Booking I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+. Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes A...

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan.

Dear Girlfriends.....

I have known a lot of ladies who think they need someone to complete them and make them happy. Some compromised a lot and sacrificed so much of themselves to be in a relationship. Sadly some changed the person they are, the way they dress, even friends they mingle with just because the man in their life ask them to. Do not put your happiness in the hands of others. Happiness is a journey,not a destination. It is always up to us to make ourselves happy. If you are constantly wanting to be in a relationship to be happy or less lonely, you are going to be really disappointed.  Be happy with the person you are. If the one you are with now constantly make you feel worthless, maybe you are in a wrong relationship. Learn to love yourself. If you are not happy with the person you are now, how can you expect others to love you? This is a really nice song by Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire. Dedicated to all my girlfriends :) Remember, yo...
