EDITED: I had to fix my grammar because Malaysians were getting angry I accidentally wrote “I told people I was southeast asian, I was Malaysian” and focused on ‘I WAS’ instead of the whole message. Ofcourse I AM Malaysian but anyways here’s the new and improved caption.

2021 - My first Vogue cover ever, and what better way to have this moment with @voguesingapore!

I recently spoke up about representation in Hollywood.. or anywhere actually. If you want to play the Southeast Asian game, you gotta have Southeast Asian players. In my 15 years working in the international music industry I have been ‘trying’ to prove my worth to the world that yes- I’m a southeast Asian woman and I too can be great at what I do. Southeast Asian women sometimes get little or no respect for our efforts because of where we come from (this is where third world country, sexualization of SEA women comes to mind) or the colour of our skin. We needed to go above and beyond to have a seat at the table. Now that the entertainment world is starting to recognize SEA talents and the richness of our culture- it’s important that we are involved in carefully telling our story and not let anyone else write our narrative for us. You can’t pick and choose what Southeast Asian narrative you want to tell your audience, you need to embrace us for who we are. We need to be in on the conversation. Hire us. We are here.

Our girls and boys need to see us out there so they know that - with whatever they have in them, no matter how small a village they come from, they can achieve what sometimes seems impossible. But it’s not. They can be world class too.

When I’m out there and I tell people I’m southeast Asian, and Malaysian, I’d get different reactions. “Wait how are you Asian but dark skin? Wait how are you Asian but you’re Muslim? Wait how is your English so good?” People still have no idea (or a skewed idea) of who we are so let’s find every opportunity to make our mark in whatever field we want to excel in. Demand a spot to tell our story.

Thank you #VogueSingapore for having me on your April 2021 cover. @musingmutley you’re a real one for this💥 Keep on telling beautiful SEA stories through SEA creatives.🙏🏽 man! I’m gonna get 20 copies of these and give em to my aunties OMG!!

When you have achievements in your past, and dreams in your future. And your dreams are greater and bigger than your achievements, you stay young.

Simply find something that I wrote in my NOTES to put as the caption for these pictures.

Staying young is not difficult. But everyone has their own definition of the word “young”. And we definitely has ours too.

An ice cream date, we managed to take hundreds of beautiful pictures. Here are just a few took from 1 secret corner.

I received lots of requests from my dear brothers and sisters from Malaysia to share #EssayWritingTips, especially those who are going to sit for the SPM and PT3 exams. So yesterday, I shared my very own essay-writing technique, #BonAppetitEssays. If you haven’t watched the video, you can refer to the previous post⤵️

...and don’t forget to read the caption too for further explanation.

Today, I’m going to share an example of a #ResponsiveEssay. This was an essay that I wrote for one of my subjects in school, Religious Studies and Philosphy, on the moral decisions involved when faced with situations that lockdown has put us in. It was written in response to an article asking the question: does going to the park in lockdown really hurt anyone if nobody’s there to be hurt in the first place? Even if you are not a student looking for #EssayWritingTips, I would still highly recommend giving this a read. Not only is it relevant to our current life, it’s also a very morally challenging topic, and in my opinion, a very interesting one to write about.

I chose to share this essay in particular because I was blessed with very good feedback from my teacher for it. Plus, I felt this was an interesting topic to clearly see the way paragraphs and arguments are structured in essays. Sadly, the essay was too long to share here, so if you’d like to take a look at this example essay of mine to see the #BonAppetitEssays technique in action, you can head over to my blog to read the full piece. Just head over to⤵️

I hope that my sharing will benefit not only SPM and PT3 candidates, but everyone who reads it!

Read & Share,

Watch Common Talks About Hong Kong After Winning Best Original Song | Oscars 2015:
http://youtu.be/5jcDMvgcPOo

Common started off the moving speech:

First off, I’d like to thank God that lives in us all. Recently, John and I got to go to Selma and perform “Glory” on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South side of Chicago, dreaming of a better life to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope. Welded with compassion. And elevated by love for all human beings.

Then Legend took to the microphone, building off those sentiments:

Thank you. Nina Simone said it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live. We wrote this song for a film that was based on events that were 50 years ago, but we say Selma is now, because the struggle for justice is right now. We know that the voting rights, the act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country today. We know that right now the struggle for freedom and justice is real. We live in the most incarcerated country in the world. There are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850. When people are marching with our song, we want to tell you that we are with you, we see you, we love you, and march on.
