Hal-hal Semasa 15/10/25

I don't watch the news much, seriously. Buktinya, my social media timeline tak ada bercerita tentang isu-isu semasa pun. I'm a bit "ketinggalan", 😅 but on the bright side, avoiding those everyday news and cases definitely protects my mental health. The world is too cruel #iykyk.

But recently I've "accidentally" read a lot; with all the pembentangan budget, upcoming STR payment, influenza, petrol subsidy, the Minister of Education's plans, and several cases involving school kids—which super terrifying. 😟

1. Halal ke haram? 
   Last night I watched a video clip of DSAI on a news website during the budget presentation. He mentioned that revenue from cigarettes and alcohol will be allocated to the Ministry of Health (KKM). 🚬🍾
   
   
   That instantly made me question: halal ke haram to include this kind of income into the national treasury? I tried to research it but couldn't find a definitive answer. If anyone knows, nanti beritahu kita eh?
   
   
2. Zara Qairina, R*ape case, Murder case, Cikgu kena penjara/saman sebab merotan pelajar
   Ini semua are truly heartbreaking 💔. Kids spend most of their time at school. School should be the safest place to be, right? This makes me look inwards: Am I, as a parent, truly playing my part in raising good individuals? Kita cukup tak ajar and spend time dengan anak? 😥
   
   
3. Foto Kenangan Terindah JPN
   This can be the best birthday present for your parent, ain't it? I bought mine, it cost RM75 and RM10 for postage. Can't wait! 🎁 You can get your here: Foto Kenangan Terindah | JPN
   
   
4. Negeri, dan daerah paling bahagia di Malaysia 2025 💖
   The happiest state, according to DOSM 📊 for 2025, is Terengganu. Johor came second with an index score of 8.08. Meanwhile, the happiest districts in Malaysia are Kluang (score 9.83), followed by Raub (Pahang) and Mersing. I read it from DOSM page, here: Department of Statistics, Malaysia.
   
   
   Should we move? Wait, happiness comes from within. As long as you are happy in your heart, you are happy wherever you are. Where is your happy place? For me, my house is my happy place. 🏡
   
   
5. I've been craving: 🤤
   Air asam kerisik dengan ikan goreng for months. Tibber kan? Semua bahan dah ada dekat rumah, cuma rajin tu tak ada lagi.
   
   
6. Diet vs. Dessert
   Macam dah lama tak buat brownies 🍫, kan? But I'm on a diet. Like— I need to, I have to.
   
   
7. The pasar tani near my house isn't the best
   Tapi ada nursery jual pokok 🪴. I think this week I want to purchase some kenanga for my house and other pokok-pokok juga. I still need to buy soil too, and I’ll need a lot this time. 5? 10 bags? 🌱

Itu sahajalah nak cakap, setakat ini.
