As we all know, International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) is here again! September is always a meaningful and special month for the Deaf community. It is a time to celebrate sign languages, raise awareness, and remind society about the importance of sign language in our daily lives.

Here in Malaysia, we use Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM), the sign language used by the Malaysian Deaf community. However, I feel that there is still a lack of awareness and understanding of BIM in society. Many people may not realize how important accessible communication is for Deaf people and how sign language helps us communicate, connect with others, access information, and participate equally in society.

The Deaf community has always emphasized that sign languages are important in ensuring that Deaf people can enjoy their full human rights. BIM is not simply a way of communicating; it is also an important part of our identity, culture, and everyday lives.

This September, let’s continue to raise awareness, take the opportunity to learn more about BIM, understand the Deaf community, and promote a more inclusive Malaysia where everyone can communicate, participate, and be heard.

To celebrate International Day of Sign Languages 2026, RC Deaf Missions Malaysia is proud to organize a wonderful series of special events throughout September. These activities provide opportunities for people to have fun while learning, playing, communicating, and connecting with others.

You can choose and register for the workshop that interests you. There are several fun and meaningful activities to enjoy, including the Bracelet Workshop, BIM Treasure Hunt, DeafBlind Experience, and BIM with Fun Workout.

You can find more information in the poster below.

These events bring people together to learn, connect, and appreciate the important role of sign language, including Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM), in our everyday lives. They also provide an opportunity to raise awareness about the Deaf community and promote greater accessibility, understanding, and inclusion.

Don't forget to share this information with your family and friends. Come and join us, learn something new, make new friends, and experience the beauty of communication through Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM)!

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the director, Lan Hongchun who making this Dear You (给阿嬷的情书) movie, Without this movie, I would not have known about Malaysia Chinese Museum which has been around for approximately 8 to 10 years ago.

Here is a Short Brief About Dear You (给阿嬷的情书):

Dear You (给阿嬷的情书) is a heartfelt Teochew family drama inspired by true stories and historical experiences of Chinese migration to Southeast Asia. The movie beautifully explores themes of family, memories, migration, love, and cultural identity.

The story follows a grandson who sets out on a journey to Thailand in search of his long-lost grandfather. Along the way, he uncovers hidden family stories through old letters, historical records, and memories passed down through generations. What begins as a personal search slowly reveals deeper emotions, untold sacrifices, and a touching story connected to his grandmother’s past.

Curious to find out what happens next? Go and watch Dear You (给阿嬷的情书) in cinemas and experience the journey yourself. 

After Watching the Movie
After watching Dear You (给阿嬷的情书), I, together with my family, my aunt’s family and other relatives recently visited the museum and it was our first time exploring it. We truly enjoyed every moment there. The museum is full of meaningful stories and history that gave us a deeper understanding of the journeys of our great-grandparents who migrated to Malaysia.

As a Teochew, this experience felt even more meaningful. It helped me connect more deeply with the history and sacrifices of our ancestors.

What made the experience even more special was discovering that Dear You (给阿嬷的情书) is inspired by true stories, real historical documents, letters, and the experiences of Chaoshan (Teochew) people who migrated to Southeast Asia. Watching the movie and visiting the museum made everything feel more real and meaningful.

A Personal Memory
About 10 years ago, my family and my mother’s side of the family visited Shantou, China where we met our relatives and visited my great-grandfather’s house. That trip gave me my first real connection to my ancestral roots, and it makes watching Dear You and visiting the museum even more meaningful.

Throwback! I'm just sharing my brief experience and photos from the MILO Run 2025 last year. My good friends and I are excited to participate because it is our final participation in 2019, and it happened due to the Covid 19 Era. So we did not participate for a few years at that point. It is one of the largest MILO-organized running events in Malaysia.

Some of you may know that my good friend and I enjoy taking part in marathons that bring people together, and the MILO Run 2025 was no exception. Even though the event has passed, I wanted to share my thoughts and highlights because it was truly inspiring - and who knows, maybe it will help you prepare for the next run!

The moment I stepped into the event, my spirits instantly lifted. I realized that the run is more than a race, it is a celebration of fitness, community, and healthy living. People of all ages attend, from enthusiastic students and serious runners to families with young children, resulting in a lively and supportive environment. Along with the main fun run, participants could take part in a variety of activities, including fitness challenges and warm-up sessions, as well as games and interactive booths. The finish line was always greeted with cheers, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment, making each participant feel proud and valued. 

What I loved most was exploring the beauty and uniqueness of Putrajaya while participating in the run. Beyond the physical activity, the run promotes social connections, encourages teamwork, and inspires everyone to live a more active lifestyle - all while having a fun and memorable day. As always, the MILO medal stood out with its unique design, a perfect memento from the run. It was especially heartwarming to see that everything has returned to normal after the challenges of the COVID-19 era, allowing communities to come together again for moments like this.

For 2025, the MILO Run was held in several cities, including Putrajaya, Kuantan, Johor Bahru, and Penang, providing runners with numerous possibilities to participate. Each location featured 3 km fun runs, energetic crowds, and a festive atmosphere that brought out the excitement in everyone from first-timers to seasoned runners. I loved seeing families run together, kids cheering each other on, and the positive energy of the volunteers and organizers - it truly felt like a community celebration. 

If you’re thinking about joining in the future, here are a few tips from my experience:

• Arrive early: The warm-up and pre-run activities are a lot of fun, and it gives you time to soak in the atmosphere.
• Bring water & snacks: Hydration is key, and there are often light refreshments at the finish.
• Capture the moments: Photos of the route, the crowd, and your medal make great memories.
• Enjoy the experience: Don’t stress about pace; this run is all about participation, fun, and community spirit.

Even though the MILO Run 2025 has ended, the memories and lessons stay fresh. It reminded me how important it is to take part in activities that bring people together, keep us active, and inspire joy. I can’t wait to see what MILO Run 2026 will bring, and I hope to run again. Maybe I’ll see some of you there too!

Awww… I was thrilled when I heard that Domino's Malaysia had recently launched a new menu food, and it was completely unexpected: Mac & Cheesy Pizza! So my brother and I were excited to try and taste it at one of the Domino Pizza Malaysia outlets last Friday. 

Have you ever thought that pasta could be pizza? Yes, you read it correctly. To be honest, I never imagined that turning pasta into pizza would be such a creative idea. First and foremost, we are always curious about the taste. As far as I know, many of us enjoy eating the paste. Imagine that your favorite macaroni and cheese pasta is now baked directly on top of a pizza crust. As someone who enjoys both pizza and pasta, I had to give it a try and provide my honest review.

Domino’s Malaysia’s newest menu item transforms creamy pasta into a pizza experience. It is loaded with macaroni, cheese sauce, and toppings baked on the standard Domino's crust. The combination is rich, cheesy, and slightly indulgent, which is the ideal comfort food! 

There are three flavors to choose from:

• Original—the classic mac & cheese
• Mushroom – for creamy mushroom lovers
• Spicy Beef—with a Malaysian spicy kick!

First of all, I was surprised when I tasted Original Pasta Pizza because it was simply a melted pizza with a lot of cheesy flavor. The gooey mozzarella melts perfectly with the soft pasta base. I won't know if it's pasta or cheese pizza. Totally unique! That is why having both pasta and cheesy pizza is the best combination. It will be more flavorful when the seaweed flakes add a subtle umami flavor that is savory but not overpowering. A perfect choice for cheese and pasta lovers!

Another Pasta Pizza with Mushrooms. This one is ideal for mushroom lovers! It is loaded with stringy mozzarella and flavorful mushrooms, giving each bite a rich, earthy aroma. The cheese melts beautifully into the pasta base, and the mushrooms add a rich, savory flavor that is both comforting and nourishing. It's a must-try if you're looking for something less spicy but still delicious. 

Finally, I tried the Spicy Beef Pasta Pizza, despite not being a fan of beef. However, it gives me the best impression; the spicy beef pizza is better than I expected. The tender has a mild aroma, so I won't notice any odor. If you enjoy spicy food, this is for you! The Spicy Beef Pasta Pizza is generously topped with melty mozzarella and tangy pickled red chillies, giving each bite a bold and satisfying heat. The spicy beef adds a rich flavor that complements the creaminess of the cheese and the zing of the chilies. A fiery twist that you don't want to miss!

Mac & Cheesy Pizza Price

• Personal - RM7.90
• Regular - RM18.90 
• Large—RM24.90 

Anyway, you can upgrade to the ultimate sausage crust. The prices are as follows: Regular RM 6.00 and large RM 9.00. Not only that, but combos are available for sharing. You can check out their official website and social media platform.

Overall, I tried three different flavors of pasta pizza, and each one added a unique twist and flavor to my usual pizza experience. And it was my first time trying a special pizza, Mac & Cheesy Pizza. Thank you, Domino's Pizza Malaysia, for the new experience and taste. My brother and I really enjoyed this pizza. 

Anyway, Domino's Pizza Malaysia is currently offering this Mac & Cheesy Pizza for a limited time. Just bring your beloved family and friends to experience the new taste of Mac & Cheesy Pizza.
