2025 was the year I lost almost everything, from falling for a scam to surviving a toxic job. I even had to sell my prized possessions just to get by. But in the middle of the struggle, I found a surprising truth inspired by the song "Tubthumping." Getting knocked down wasn't a punishment—it was a lesson in resilience and minimalism. I realized I don't need "everything" to survive; I already have enough. Here is my story of starting over.

There is a specific kind of magic found in the late 90s and early 2000s music scene. For me, nothing captures that energy better than Paul Oakenfold’s "Starry Eyed Surprise." Even as an adolescent, this song wasn't about "adult things"—it was about the pure ecstasy of getting lost in a beat. Over two decades later, it remains the ultimate musical escape, turning my morning shower into a neon dancefloor. Here is why this track still hits.

"Bila Takbir Bergema" hits different every year, kan? Lagu ni macam time machine yang bawak I balik ke zaman kecil dulu. Rindu gila suasana riuh-rendah dengan Mak & adik-beradik, and especially the moments with Arwah Ayah. Now that we're all grown up and beraya asing-asing, lagu ni reminds me to cherish every second we have. Jom throwback memori raya dulu-dulu and how this evergreen song still touches my heart.

Rediscovering “Banke Tera Jogi” reminded me why I’ll never have a language barrier when it comes to music. Bollywood songs from the late 90s and early 2000s just hit differently.

Blackpink’s new single “GO” from Deadline might be their hardest-hitting track yet — bold, cinematic, and paired with a high-fashion music video that feels both powerful and aspirational.
