Still cannot believe I turned 40 yesterday. It’s been a tough year, but things will get better… I hope

This is a book I picked up today at Wardah Books. I know it’s strange cos I’m not Muslim but I have been feeling really down with the loss of my full time job and lack of income. But I really need help and I’ve always been drawn to Islam, so yeah why not?

They say you should read widely, anyway!

Hello everyone! It’s been a long while. Hope everyone’s doing fine :)

IDK lah maybe I just need to sleep it off. I only want to serve my community well and to reach out to and stand with other marginalised communities. It was never my intention to create trouble.

I hope I haven’t lost my years of building up my reputation due to this small incident.

Who would have thought that I, as a queer person for so long, would wanna be straight just this once?

I didn’t want the drama; I only want to address my concerns over complicity.

Not create problems.

Is it wrong to support Palestine while being queer?

Would you:

a) leave a toxic Whatsapp grp abruptly for mental health but risk a million DMs from the members themselves or

b) just stay in the toxic Whatsapp grp as a ‘spectator’ for ‘learning purposes’ but risk your mental health?

Late nights be like…

Just finished this book and I really like it! The build up and momentum was good and the character development and plot was amazing! Just how I could laugh and cry in a span of 300 pages!

4.25/5 - definitely a joy to read (especially for a diehard romantic like me!)

To all my #BookSky friends:

So I am trying hard to complete this book cos it’s a gift from a friend (it was kind of like a blind book gift) & I feel bad cos it’s about feminism & women’s rights.

But it’s extremely challenging for me to finish cos of the writing & it’s draggy! Should I quit this?

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Hello everyone! It’s been a while

Hope 2025 has been kind to you at the moment

I hope #booksky will encourage people going to libraries and supporting local book shops. I didn't see a lot of that on #booktok and think we should cultivated that here.

Libraries are important tools to education and knowledge!

Been so terribly busy!!!

Sometimes I wonder how I function with:

1. A Day Job (HR)
2. A Side Hustle (Tour Guiding)
3. A Hobby (Book Club)

Like probably this is a hefty lot for a 40 year old to be!
