Join me in what I believe is our most thought-provoking episode to date as we sit down with Ness Salleh, known as the "Osemommey." In this episode, we dive into her journey through religious studies in Oman to her family's transition back to Brunei and the unique challenges they faced, particularly in the context of Ugama School and the educational methods her children encountered. We explore ways our education system can be improved, addressing the dynamics of teaching and learning that vary across borders. We also talked about a viral post she shared, its unexpected hate and backlash, and the surprising turn of events when she was called in by the authorities. Furthermore, we explore our shared experiences in rediscovering Islam as Muslims. This deeply personal segment of the conversation opens up a space for reflection and introspection, shedding light on the diverse paths individuals take in their spiritual journeys... AND SO MUCH MORE!

A year ago today, I released my first ever solo episode titled 'let me introduce my introverted self' and how ironic is it that in this episode I talked to random strangers around bandar. Which is why this episode is special in so many ways because it signifies growth for me personally and for the podcast since I started in October 30, 2022. We barely scratched the surface with all the plans we have for Izzy Does It so I hope you continue to stay with us! Please enjoy this light-hearted episode where I have conversations with random people in Brunei!In this episode:- Thank you The Coffeebean & Tea Leaf Brunei for sponsoring the vouchers!- Meet NAZ, CBTL's Assistant Manager who started from the bottom and now he's here.- Accidentally meeting DJ NAD AGAIN, who I met prior to filming this episode at KFM studio where she interviewed me HAHA!- Meet EDDY and GABBY, Politeknik students.- Moving to Yayasan and meeting Wiyah who made me LOL and speechless at the same time.- FUAD and I chat about what's been going on.- Talking to a policeman who, like me, is an Avengers fan!

In this episode I got to sit with two powerhouses from the creative industry; Azeez Danial & Liyana Hanif who also happen to be engaged and soon (like, real soon) to be married. I took the chance to get to know them better by asking how they came together and talk about the proposal video that went viral. After that we got down to a serious, but still light-hearted conversation about the state of the creative and film industry and how the progression of technology, mainly Artificial Intelligence could affect designers and filmmakers in the near future.

The name Swanz is synonymous with the viral Bruneian hit MAJAL that took social media by storm. The song went super viral on TikTok and is being played not just within the country but is also making waves in Malaysia and beyond. But Swanz have been in the local music scene for about 6 years now. In this episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with the man himself and get to know his humble beginnings where it all started: a $50 guitar and keyboard his father bought him from Hua Ho. Swanz reflected key milestones in his life that led him to this moment, his process of replicating beats to understand hits, and the importance of the first line of a song. He also shared some exciting plans that everyone can look forward to soon!***HELP US KEEP THE SHOW GOING by transferring your contributions to the bank account below.
