Hello everyone. Yes I know. It has been too long since I last updated this little blog of mine. Thank you for all your e-mails and DMs asking for new and fresh contents for the last few months. On a brighter side, I'm pleased to say that I AM BACK…
As I’m writing this blog post, the Malaysian football team is already out from the Asian Games 2018 competition after the narrow 1-0 loss to Japan in the round of 16. As a fan, it is quite sad to see the fairy-tale run coming to an end but looking at…
Once upon a time a guy named Az (bukan nama sebenar) would walk into a bookstore not only for the obvious reasons of buying a book but also to meet cute girls while browsing books. I mean what is hotter than a cute girl that reads books right?! So people…
Having spent our first evening in Rome till late (click here if you’ve missed my earlier post), we had every reason to wake up late at the hotel the next morning. Except that some parts of Rome is best captured during sunrise. So after our Subuh prayers, with little sleep,…
