Perak
I was born in Perak and now live in Selangor after moving from Kuala Lumpur.
Perak is a state of Malaysia on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula.
The head of state is the Sultan of Perak, and the head of government is Menteri Besar. Perak is ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse. The state is known for several traditional dances: bubu, dabus, and labu sayong, the latter name also referring to Perak's unique traditional pottery.
Perak has land borders with the Malaysian states of Kedah to the north, Penang to the northwest, Kelantan and Pahang to the east, and Selangor to the south. Thailand's Yala and Narathiwat provinces both lie to the northeast.
Perak's capital city, Ipoh, was known historically for its tin-mining activities until the price of the metal dropped, severely affecting the state's economy.
The royal capital remains Kuala Kangsar, where the palace of the Sultan of Perak is located.

What Does October Mean to Me?
October means a lot of things to me. Firstly, my birthday is on October the 13. Like you, I’ve been swept up in the sea of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook posts and self-help gurus, coaches who tell us to rest, restore our nervous system, and resist the hustle.
And I have been getting a lot of advance birthday wishes too. From everything I've read, some say it's very bad luck to wish someone a happy birthday before their actual birthday.
Yeah, birthdays are always special, to me, be it the 20th or 40th or 60th. However fun you can have on this day, it is still a strong reminder of you are aging. I'm not being pessimistic here but as you age, you grow, you mature, you experience a lot.
All that’s well and good. My resolution this year isn’t about taking naps or turning off my phone an hour before bedtime, although I’m doing that, too. My decision is to take better care of myself. Yep, this is probably the most typical decision that anyone makes. And Say “NO” more often.
Oh, and Happy Birthday To Me!
I rest my case.
