I stumbled upon the advertisement on Facebook and casually checked the facilitator\u2019s name. The moment I saw a name that I am so familiar with, Prof Dr Abdul Karim Alias. Prof Karim! I thought, \u201cOkay, that\u2019s it. I\u2019m joining<\/em>.\u201d So I “happily” committed myself to four Thursdays in a row, 8:30 PM sharp, from 31 October to 21 November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the catch though: I have an afternoon class every Thursday. Even if I end at 6:30 PM, there\u2019s absolutely no guarantee I\u2019ll reach home before 8 PM. In fact, it\u2019s usually the opposite. By the time I pack up, entertain student questions, and crawl through traffic, the universe is already whispering, \u201cGood luck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid missing performing my Maghrib prayer, I usually wait at campus until Maghrib before heading back. Which means\u2026 I only have a few precious minutes at home to catch my breath, pray Isya’, have a lightning-fast air-fyer dinner, and then zoom<\/em> into the session like a superhero who\u2019s slightly out of breath but still determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s chaotic, it\u2019s tiring, but it\u2019s also strangely fulfilling. Maybe that\u2019s how you know something is worth doing, when you\u2019re running on adrenaline, quick bites, and sheer enthusiasm\u2026 and you still show up anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little did I know\u2026 there\u2019s homework<\/em>! Every single week! And it\u2019s due within a week or two! If I had known, maybe I would have thought twice (well, maybe). Technically, there\u2019s no accreditation or certificate or anything formal, so I shouldn\u2019t<\/em> take it too seriously\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But honestly, I\u2019ve learned so much from Prof Karim. The vibes are great, and the support system is even better. Whenever anyone gets stuck, we just ask in the groupand like magic, someone (or even a few people!) pops up to help, including Prof himself. It\u2019s like a little family of enthusiastic learners cheering each other on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, I signed up for a casual session\u2026 and ended up with a whole community and a bunch of weekly homework. But I\u2019m loving it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1: <\/a>What is storybook? Why should I? Why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 2<\/a>: Let’s your imagination run free! Relieving stress or adding more stress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 3<\/a>: Let’s get started with book creation <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 4:<\/a> Creating video using AI tools<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
