Coincidentally I was just reading up about how a certain someone inspired me
But of course I have so many inspiring figures in my life;
Tokti, Reyrey, even everyday heroes like people who has been so, so kind to me
But let me just choose to talk about One.
Easy choice, Siti Nurhaliza.
A kampung girl who wanted to be a singer so her brother teased her saying if she can lose weight then he'll bring her to KL to be a singer (in the olden days being butthurt wasnt a trend) (haha controversial statement)
Was late for her first audition and had to beg to try out
Lost her first competition but came back stronger
Became THE best singer
And until today, almost 3 decades later, still the same humble, talented, beautiful lady we've all grown to know and love
Quite a literal zero to hero story, and the most inspiring part is her character remaining constant from the start
From refusing to photograph with male celebrities to being strict about not wearing revealing clothes despite everyone's mockery of her kampungness, she stayed true to herself and made everyone love her for who she is
Dabs
Love you tokti
Cant wait to see and hear you live again this time I will drag all my friends to witness your greatness in person
(but they cant sit with me cus i'll be crying the whole time HAHAHA both concerts I went to I cried as soon as she sung her first note LOL)
