The Course I Thought I'd Finish in a Few Days ;p

 I recently enrolled in a course called Building a Sustainable Supply Chain for the Future: Strategies and Innovations for Creating Resilient and Eco-Friendly Supply Chains. At first, seeing 21.5 hours of content didn't seem too intimidating. I thought that because it was self-paced, I could probably finish it within a few days if I managed my time well. I was wrong. What I underestimated wasn't the course itself, but the challenge of balancing learning with everything else that needs attention in daily life. Between work, personal commitments, and other responsibilities, I've realised that I can realistically focus on about one subtopic per week. At that pace, I’ve now reached Topic 13, and the course has 17 topics in total. It was a good reminder that self-study isn't necessarily faster just because you can set your own schedule.

Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad

Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, which had been closed for quite some time, has now reopened to the public in February 2026, offering visitors the opportunity to learn about history, appreciate its unique architectural design, and enjoy the gallery experience provided. The building is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Malaysia. Construction began in 1894 and was completed in 1897 during British rule.

Its location facing Dataran Merdeka also made it a silent witness to significant national events, including the declaration of independence in 1957. From a sustainability perspective, the restoration of this building reflects a commitment to sustainable development. Conservation efforts were initiated by the Malaysia...

What Makes a Great Voiceover Artist?

When we think of a voiceover artist, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a pleasant, clear voice. And yes, that’s important, yet there’s a lot more that goes into being great at voiceover than just sounding nice. 1. Clear and Easy to Understand A great voiceover artist speaks clearly, with good pronunciation and natural flow. This helps the message come across smoothly, whether it’s a fun advertisement or a serious explainer video. Even if the listener doesn’t see subtitles or captions, they can still understand everything clearly just by listening. 2. Good Timing and Flow It’s not just what you say, but how you say it. Knowing when to pause, when to speed up, and when to slow down makes a big difference. A great voiceover artist can match the timing of a video or guide the listener's attention through the way they speak. 3. Understanding the Script Voiceover work is more than reading out loud. A great VO artist understands what the script is really trying to say and deli...
