Random: Sambil menulis, sambil educate

For a week, I researched and focus on valuable information about ADHD. I was tasked to prepare 3 articles on adult ADHD.


Prior knowledge, I only know ADHD is diagnosed for kids. Now, you can get diagnosed of ADHD as an adult too. The topic is getting coverage in recent years for adults struggling with symptoms.


They might not know earlier that those are symptoms when they were young. Until they work, they find themselves struggling to manage tasks at work, to focus on details and bad at time management. These just a few symptoms.


Over time, they beginning to feel demotivated, depressed and having anxiety. When an adult could no longer live his live without "struggles" and every day seems hard even for simple routine, they finally searching for help.


I am proud of having written articles that deal with adult ADHD. The client wanted the articles in Malay because she discovered the information and awareness in Bahasa Malaysia is not plenty. To my probing, it is indeed true because my references are mostly in English.


So I am glad that the writing will be the source of references to another pool of audience who actually comfortable reading in Malay.


Selagi mana informasi boleh disebarkan untuk kebaikan, saya lagi happy :)

Nagomi Art : Hope and Healing

 I decided to try a Nagomi Art session just out of curiosity. Honestly, I’m not great with art, drawing, or even picking colours. But since I had some free time and the workshop was free, I thought, why not? After the class, I got curious and started digging into its history. Here's what I found: Norikatsu Hosoya, the founder of Nagomi Art, was inspired by a deeply personal experience involving a close friend who was seriously ill. During his friend's hospitalization, Hosoya created a pastel artwork of cherry blossoms to lift his friend’s spirits. He accompanied the gift with an invitation to see real cherry blossoms together once his friend recovered.  The gesture of hope and healing left a profound impact when they eventually fulfilled this promise. This episode opened Hosoya's eyes to the potential of art as a tool for emotional healing and a source of optimism, which later became a cornerstone of the philosophy behind Nagomi Art. 7 Facts about Nagomi Art 1. Origins: N...

Can Non-Office Workers Burn Out Too?

 When we hear the word burnout, most of us picture someone in a corporate job, stuck in traffic every morning, glued to a screen all day, drowning in emails, meetings and work desk from 9 to 5. Sounds familiar, right? But here’s the thing. Burnout doesn’t care whether you’re in a fancy office or out in the field. In fact, people who don’t work in traditional office settings often face a different kind of pressure such as physical strain, unpredictable hours, emotional labour, or unstable income, and that can burn you out just as fast, if not faster. So let’s talk about other fields of work burnout, the kind that hits NGO field workers, delivery riders, retail staff, event crews, and freelancers. Because their stories relatable too. 1.
