Dewasakah Kita?

As we embark into the year 2022, the year where everything slowly starts to be like pre-covid era, we thought it would be best to start with some financial guidance and ideas in personal finance management and investments. Without a doubt, our personal finance is one of the most important aspect in our lives. Some flourish in managing it, some are still figuring things out. That is ok and we are here to share some knowledge about these two areas of personal finance; savings, managements and investment. We call upon Hannah's dear friend, Ms. Serene Chaw to speak with us on these topics. Happy 2022, everyone!   

Hannah and Marlysa walked down the memory lane for the year 2021, talking about the episodes and topics they spoke about since the first episode of Dewasakah Kita? Hannah and Marlysa also spoke about their dreams and hopes for 2022 and thank the guests who joined them in 2021. Happy New Year, listeners! 

WE ARE BACK! After a super long hiatus, we are back with refreshed hearts and minds. And what better way to restart our engines than to introduce to our listeners an amazing personal project helmed by our own Marlysa. Marlysa and her friends have started a project called the "Projek Mencari Bendera Putih" to look out for those who need aid in these trying times. In this episode, Hannah spoke to Marlysa about this initiative and to dig deeper into the spirit of giving. If there was one thing to take away from this conversation, it's that Malaysians are a beautiful, generous and united bunch. #kitajagakita

May was Mental Health Awareness Month. In this episode, Marlysa and Hannah share their journey in discovering what mental health means and how the discovery has helped them understand the ups and downs in their lives. Here is a message to everyone out there: As we go into another lockdown, we just want to remind everyone to check in with their friends and family as often as they can. Let's get through this season together, as a community. 

This is a special episode by Hannah and Marlysa to wish all our Muslim friends, family and listeners SELAMAT HARI RAYA & HAPPY EID MUBARAK! Stay safe always, everyone. 

This episode contains strong messages from our guests; Elvira, Sarah and Khairil that RAPE IS NOT A JOKE and ways to combat the issue in our society. This is probably our most serious episode so far and we want the message to be sent out loud and clear. Our guests and hosts stand against rape jokes, cyber-bullies and irresponsible adults. It is a shared responsibility to make our community and our schools a safer place! 

Losing beloved friends is tough. Losing them by death? Devastating. This episode, Marlysa and Hannah share their take on grief when their friends passed on. This episode is dedicated to B and V, our friends who have gone before us. Your legacies shall live on! And to all who have lost their friends by death, here’s a SOP compliant virtual hug for you ♥️

This episode is one for the believers and skeptics. We deconstruct astrology and the influence it has on our personalities. We spoke to Dina Abdul, an astrology enthusiast, who gave us a run down on the subject. Marlysa tells us her Capricorn quirks. Hannah learns the difference between horoscope and astrology. If curiosity is your middle name, you won't want to miss this.

A note from Dina: 

Clarification on horoscope: while there are tarot readers which do readings based on a person’s sun, moon and rising, and other factors in their birth chart, this isn’t exactly the basis for horoscopes as we know it. Horoscopes that we are familiar with in newspapers or magazines doesn’t always sit well with “proper” astrologists as they consider it to be a “vast oversimplification” of astrology, written mainly to increase readership, rather than tied directly to the complicated celestial calculations in astrology.

In this episode, we speak to Alexia Lo, who left her cushy job to venture out on her own, while pursuing her creative side in the midst of the pandemic. In this raw conversation, we touched on motivation, inner strength and even continuing our parents' legacy (among other things). And although this wasn't meant to be in conjunction with International Women's Day, the timing couldn't be more perfect for us to celebrate each other. Tune it and be inspired.

Continuing the discussion on Online Dating in Episode 1, the hosts invited a guest speaker, Natasya, to share her views, advice and the lessons she learned from being on online dating platforms. This time, the chat revolved around good and bad experience, the red flags, how to keep the conversation going, ghosting and self-respect. If he is not interested or interesting, move on, girl. There will be one person in this world who will be attracted to you - that's the advice. Keep listening and hope you will find more insights for your self-reflection.
