My queen has just turned 65. Tolong doakan ummi saya, Normadiah binti Ismail, dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik dan kesejahteraan dunia akhirat. Tolong doakan pembedahan kedua beliau nanti berjalan lancar dan proses penyembuhan dipermudahkan. Insyaallah, amin ya rabbal alamin.

Gemuruh mengirim 'surat cinta' ke 25 orang penulis wanita sezaman. Saya selalu percaya pada kuasa pena dan kuasa perempuan dalam mendukung sesama perempuan. Bertahun saya peram 'hadiah' ini sambil mengingatkan diri bahawa saya wajib realisasikannya sebelum mati. Masanya sudah tiba.

Pasrah bukan kalah tapi menyerah pada Tuan Rumahnya Dunya dan Akhirah. Penat dicipta untuk pulang. Lelah dicipta untuk lelap.

Kadang-kadang, yang 'toksik' adalah diri kita sendiri. Nak-nak tiap kali kita nampak / dengar / baca tentang sesuatu atau seseorang, benda pertama yang lalu kepala kita ialah benda negatif. May we'll never lose our ability to find goodness in people, in situations, in everything.

If you don't know how not to sound righteous or preachy, just give that person a good hug. Peluk dan dengar.

How we talk about other people speaks volume about ourselves. The older I grow, the more I find truth in this. I become more careful about what I write, what I say.

Are we being kind or are we being stupid? Sometimes we feel confused and lost by this. Tapi kawan saya pesan, kita kena selalu berbalik pada jalan asal kita; tujuan kenapa kita hidup di dunia.

Beginning early this year, every time people asked me- "buat apa sekarang?", I found myself jokingly answered "SAHM" which means "stay-at-home mom." Later, at almost every art event or social event I attended, I started using this answer more and more frequent. Slowly it hit me-- maybe I wasn't joking all this while. Maybe I AM a stay-at-home mom. After all, it IS what I do most of the time, no? More than writing, composing, and performing. It is my number one job before bein

Just done giving personal consultation to 1 fiance and 3 husbands of MRKH women who are too shy to reach out to me so their partners did it instead. :') This is my happy love story for today. God bless men who take care of their women mentally, physically, and emotionally. Ameen! #MRKHsyndrome #MRKHawareness

I used to be one of those people. One of those people who didn't understand mental health. One of those people who looked at mental conditions as just a matter of "tak kuat semangat, tak cukup iman." Then one day it hit me like a truck; I woke up hearing things and seeing things that weren't there, doing things that I couldn't remember later, and feelings things that were foreign to me. Like in the movies- only this was my reality. Years and years ago. Waktu itu barulah tahu
