The Face Behind the Blog: Who am I ?

Hi,

You must be wondering who the author of this blog is, right? Well, it’s me—the one and only Mohamad Madzwann bin Ahmad Zain. People usually call me Madzwann or Wann, but in my family, I’m always known as "Abang" since I’m the eldest among my siblings.

(Me riding motorcycle at night around Mukah)

I come from Mukah, Sarawak, a small yet vibrant coastal town known for its rich Melanau culture and delicious umai (a traditional Sarawakian raw fish dish). My dad was born in Mukah, Sarawak while my mom is from Balingian, Sarawak. Since these two towns are only about 60 kilometers apart, celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri has never been an issue for my family—we always get to be close to both sides.

Being Sarawakian is something I take great pride in. We have a unique mix of cultures, languages, and traditions that make our daily lives more colorful. One fun fact? Whenever I want to say something that my Malay friends won’t understand, I can just switch to Melanau (just kidding—please don’t follow this!).

Through this blog, I hope to share a little piece of my life, my thoughts, and the experiences that shape me. If you're reading this, I appreciate you being here—let’s connect and grow together!

My Most Visited Spots in University

At university, besides spending time at my faculty and other college cafés, one of the places I frequently visit is the library—Perpustakaan Tun Seri Lanang (PTSL). I go there whenever I need to stay focused and motivated during study sessions. Seeing so many students studying makes me feel guilty if I’m not being productive, which helps keep me on track. The library provides a conducive environment, not just for studying but also for completing assignments, group discussions, and even a quiet place to gather my thoughts. Sometimes, I like to sit by the windows to enjoy the view while studying, as it helps me feel more relaxed. I also often visit PUSANIKA to buy groceries at 99 Speedmart. While there, I usually grab a drink from Zus Coffee or TeaLive to refresh myself before heading back to my college or faculty. PUSANIKA is also a convenient place to run errands, whether it’s getting stationery, printing documents, or just taking a short break in between my schedule. Every Friday, t...

My Education Journey

21 years of life have been quite challenging, especially in academics. I don’t come from a high-level educational background, but with the encouragement and support of my parents, I am now pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with Honors at one of Malaysia’s top universities— National University of Malaysia (UKM) in Bangi, Selangor. Primary School: Where It All Began My educational journey started at SK Datuk Awang Udin, Mukah, Sarawak , where I attended pre-school and primary school from Year 1 to Year 6 . This was the place where I discovered my potential , particularly in leadership and talent development . I was appointed as Vice President of the School Prefects in Year 5 and served as Class Monitor for four consecutive years from Year 1 to Year 4 . Academically, I sat for the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and achieved 2As and 4Bs . Honestly, it was a bit disappointing because I had scored 5As and 1B in my trial exams, but it was a learning exp...

Smashing Through the Day: My Badminton Experience

Hi everyone, Today, I want to share how I usually spend my badminton sessions! I typically play with my Form 6 friends at the Badminton Court Majlis Daerah Dalat dan Mukah (MDDM) . We prefer playing on weekdays when we don’t have too much homework piling up. Most of the time, we play in pairs since singles can be quite exhausting. To make things more exciting, we always turn it into a mini-tournament , but in a fun and casual way—nothing too serious! After an intense game, we usually grab some food at our favorite spots or, if we’re in the mood to relax, head straight to Pantai Kala Dana Mukah to enjoy the beach vibes. Badminton isn’t just a sport for us—it’s a way to stay active, bond with friends, and de-stress from studies . What’s your go-to activity to unwind? Let me know!
