You and Lando had just finished settling into your hotel, when your phone buzzed with an incoming facetime call from Nick. Surprised but not entirely shocked by his timing, you answered the call and held your phone up as you sat on the edge of the bed. Nick’s face appeared on the screen, expression tense and unusually serious.

“Hey, is Rachel with you right now?” he asked without preamble, tone laced with urgency.

You frowned, confused by the question. “No, she’s not,” you replied, glancing at Lando, who was sitting on the edge of the bef watching your conversation. “Lando and I already left Singapore earlier, we’re in Malaysia right now. Why? Is everything okay?”

Nick ran a hand through his hair, exhaling heavily before diving into the whole explanation. He told you and Lando about how your Auntie Eleanor had hired a private investigator to dig into Rachel’s background. Your stomach sank as he laid it all out—the dossier that your Auntie Eleanor had compiled, which included several Chinese news articles and missing person reports with Rachel’s mother’s photo. All these revelations had been shared with your Ah Ma at the wedding reception, and things had escalated from there.

You can slightly hear Nick’s voice trembling as he recounted how your Ah Ma had become mad and forbid Rachel from continuing her relationship with him, declaring that Rachel’s family background poses a threat to your family’s reputation. The words made your chest tighten, and you felt a mix of anger and sadness bubbling inside of you. Then it all started to make sense now—Rachel’s disoriented state, the way she fled from the reception without looking back.

“Wait,” you interjected, still processing everything. “Ah ma was at Colin and Minty’s wedding? I didn’t even see her, she rarely goes to events like that unless her presence is absolutely necessary.”

Nick nodded, confirming your thoughts. “She was there. It wasn’t planned for her to come, but I think Mom had managed to convince her.”

You sighed. “Well, that explained a lot. No wonder Rachel was running off like that, she must’ve been completely blindsided.”

He paused before continuing. “I’ve been trying to get a hold of her, but she’s not answering my calls or texts. I just—” he trailed off, his frustration evident.

Thinking quickly, you remembered something Rachel had mentioned in passing. “Maybe she’s staying at her best friend’s house? She told me once that she has a close friend in Singapore.”

Nick’s eyes lit up slightly. “That's a possibility. I’ll try to find out where her friend lives.”

“Do you need me to come back?” you asked, words spilling out before you could second-guess them. “Lan and I can fly back to Singapore tonight if you think it’ll help.” you glanced at Lando, who nodded in silent agreement.

He shook his head quickly. “No, no, don’t worry about it. I think I can handle it for now. But if Rachel answers your texts or calls, can you let me know right away?”

“Of course,” you said firmly. “I’ll text her again and keep you updated.”

“Thanks,” Nick said with a small, grateful smile.

“But hey, listen,” you said carefully, “if you find Rachel—in which I know that you will, you have to give her some time. Don’t push her, and don’t force anything.”

Nick was quiet on the other end, so you took it as a queue to continue. “She’s been blindsided, completely blindsided by all of it. Think about it, the information that Auntie Eleanor dumped on her, how it was thrown at her, none of it was easy for her to process. She didn’t even see it coming, and honestly, no one would’ve been ready for something like that.”

“I know,” Nick murmured. “But I just want to fix it. I want her to know that none of this changes how I feel about her.”

“I know you do,” you said gently. “But right now, Rachel needs space to process everything. Imagine if you’re in her shoes—finding out things about your family’s past in such a public and humiliating way. That kind of betrayal isn’t easy to shake off, especially when it comes out of nowhere.”

You paused, choosing your words carefully. “You have to be patient with her, Nick. Let her come to you when she’s ready. If you try to force her to talk or rush through it, it might just push her further away.”

There was another silence, then a resigned sigh from Nick. “You’re right,” he admitted. “I hate it, but you’re right. I just feel so useless sitting here, doing nothing.”

“Nicky, you’re not doing nothing,” you assured him. “The best thing you can do right now is respect her boundaries and be ready when she’s ready. Let her know you’re there, but don’t overwhelm her, and Nick…” you trailed off.

You briefly hesitated before adding, “Rachel was thrown into a pit of wolves. Our family, for all its grandeur and well, admit it or not, can be really cruel. She wasn’t prepared for it, but that’s not on her—it’s completely on us, and if you love her, you’ll help her navigate through it when she finally comes around.”

Nick’s voice softened. “I do love her, more than anything.”

“This might sound very cliché, but trust the process,” you said. “She’ll come back to you when she’s ready, and when she does, you’ll be there for her.”

“Thanks again,” he said quietly. “I really needed to hear that.”

“Anytime,” you replied. “Just keep me updated, okay? Don’t lose hope.”

“I won’t,” Nick promised.

“Alright, take care.” you said before ending the call.

As the screen went dark, you tossed your phone onto the bed with a sigh, staring at the ceiling in frustration. Your call to Rachel had gone straight to voicemail, and though you had sent her a message, you couldn’t shake the knot of worry in your chest. Flopping down beside your phone, you exhaled deeply. The fact that your Auntie Eleanor had gone so far as to hiring a private investigator made your blood boil. It was not just meddling—it felt invasive and cruel.

“Why?” you muttered to yourself, running a hand through your hair. “Why did she have to go that far?”

Lando glanced over you from where he was sitting, watching you silently for a moment before he laid down beside you on the bed.

“Hey,” he said softly, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. “What’s on your mind?”

“It’s just…Auntie Eleanor. Why would she do something like that? Nick and Rachel were happy, and Ah Ma already liked Rachel, so why did she have to ruin it all? What does it even accomplish?” your voice wavered slightly as you spoke, your emotions bubbling to the surface.

Lando listened patiently, letting you vent. When you paused, he gave your shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “I get it,” he said gently. “It’s frustrating, and it’s not fair to Rachel. But you know Nick, he’s not going to give up on her just because of this. They’ll figure it out eventually.”

You looked at him, brows furrowed. “But what if they don’t? What if this just ruins everything?”

“It won’t,” he said firmly. “They’ve come this far, haven’t they? Something like this might take time to work through, but if they’re meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other. You’ve got to believe in that.”

His words were calming, and you found yourself nodding slowly. “You’re right,” you said, though the knot in your chest didn’t fully loosen. “I just want them to have the happy ending they deserve.”

“And they will,” Lando assured you with a small smile. “But right now, you’ve got to focus on what you can control. We’re in Malaysia, come on, let’s enjoy our time. Relax, and take a breather from all the chaos back in Singapore.”

You gave Lando a weak smile, appreciating his efforts to make everything better. “Yeah, you’re right. We should make the most of it while we’re here.” pushing yourself off the bed, you glanced towards your suitcase. “We’ve got dinner plans later, don’t we?”

Lando grinned, standing up and holding out his hand to help you. “We do. Let’s go have a great night.”

You took his hand, letting him pull you to your feet, and smiled at him. “Alright.”

The first day in Malaysia began early, with the rising sun casting a soft golden glow as you and Lando set off for George Town in Penang. The drive was long, roughly about four hours from Kuala Lumpur, where you’re staying, but the journey was as much a part of the adventure as the destination. Lando was behind the wheel, where one of his hands was steady on the wheel, and his other free hand was laced on your fingers. His eyes occasionally darted towards you while you admired the scenery as you passed by.

“So,” he started, glancing at you with a teasing smile, “are you going to be my personal tour guide for the day?”

You grinned, looking at him. “Of course.”

When you arrived, George Town immediately swept you off of your feet. The streets were alive with so much color and culture, with the British colonial buildings standing gracefully alongside vibrant Chinese shophouses and intricate mosques. The air smelled of spices and street food, and the chatter of locals filled the space with a sense of warmth and energy.

“Look at that one,” he said, pulling you gently toward a painting of a little boy riding a bicycle. “We have to take a photo here.”

Lando pulled out his camera and posed next to the mural, with a wide grin on his face. “Your turn, come on,” he said after snapping his photo, motioning for you to take his place. “Hold on,” he gestured for you to pose in front of the mural. You rolled your eyes playfully but obliged to his request, striking a simple pose.

“Perfect,” he said as he snapped the photo before lowering the camera. “Though the real thing’s better than the photo,” he added cheekily, leaning in to plant a quick kiss on your cheek.

“Smooth,” you teased, shaking your head but smiling nonetheless.

You wandered through the streets hand in hand, occasionally stopping every so often to admire the architecture of the small shops selling everything ranging from antiques to handmade crafts. At one point, Lando pulled you into a quiet alley where a local artist was painting a new mural. He tilted his head, examining the work.

“Think I could pull something like this off?” he joked, referring to the mural’s intricate design.

“Absolutely not,” you replied, laughing. “But I’d pay good money to watch you try.”

The day would not have been complete without food. You introduced Lando to char kway teow, a flavorful stir-fried noodle dish. He took his first bite, his expression shifting from curiosity to delight.

“Okay, this is incredible,” he said, nodding enthusiastically as he went for another bite.

“You have a good taste,” you replied, stealing a noodle from his plate.

“You mean you have a good taste,” he corrected.

The day continued like that—strolling, laughing, stealing kisses, and taking photos. Every corner of George Town seemed to hold a story, and every moment felt like it was just for the two of you.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned a warm orange, and Lando snapped one final photo. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget today,” he said softly, looking at you instead of the view.

You smiled, squeezing his hand. “Me neither.”

The second day began with the sun streaming through your window, casting a warm glow over the start of what you knew would be an unforgettable day. After breakfast, you and Lando set off for Paradise 101 in Langkawi, a private island that promised a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and just an hour away.

As soon as you stepped onto the island, the soft sound of the waves lapping against the shore and the salty breeze filled your senses. Lando reached out for your hand, giving it a light squeeze he looked out at the clear blue sky.

“Ready for some adventure?” he asked with a contagious smile.

“Always,” you replied, already feeling the excitement bubbling up.

The first activity on the list was parasailing, something you had always wanted to try. Strapped into the harness side by side, the instructor began counting down, and then, the boat picked up speed, lifting you and Lando off the ground, soaring above the waters. The world below looks so tiny, and the ocean stretches endlessly beneath your feet.

“This is insane!” Lando shouted over the wind.

You turned your head to look at him, his expression lit up with excitement. “Right? Look at that amazing view!” you replied, pointing towards the horizon where the ocean met the sky.

“Look something out of the painting,” then glancing at you, there was a mischievous glint in Lando’s eyes. “Though the view isn’t half as good as the one next to me.”

You laughed, swatting at him lightly. “You’re such a cheeky little shit.”

When your feet touched the sand again, Lando was already pulling you toward the ziplining station. The zipline took you across the island’s canopy, and each time you landed, Lando was there waiting, stealing quick kisses before moving to the next line.

“Race you to the bottom,” Lando challenged, a mischievous smile lighting up his face.

“Oh, you’re on,” you replied, determined.

As the two of you zipped down, the wind whipping past, the sound of your laughter had filled the air. Lando had beaten you to the bottom, of course, but he immediately pulled you into a hug when you joined him, pressing a kiss to your cheek.

The afternoon was reserved for a private yacht cruise, just the two of you. As the boat glided through the calm waters of Langkawi’s northern coast, you couldn’t help but marvel at the picturesque coastline, with the emerald-green water shimmering under the sun.

“Perfect, isn’t it?” Lando asked, leaning back beside you, his sunglasses perched on his nose.

“Perfect,” you agreed, reaching out to intertwine your fingers with his.

“You know,” he began, “we should bring the others here sometimes. They’d love this.”

“I was just thinking the same thing,” you replied, looking at him. “Though I kind of like it being just us right now.”

“Me too,” he said, voice soft, brushing a kiss on your forehead.

You decided to give kayaking a try, but knowing Lando, it probably would be a chaotic one. “You’re paddling the wrong way, babe!” you exclaimed as Lando’s oar splashed water everywhere. “Are you sure you know how to paddle?”

“Of course I do!” he argued.

Lando was just kept on paddling in circles, the kayak even refused to cooperate—or so he claimed.

“Babe! You’re just steering us into circles. You’re doing it wrong!” you called out, grinning mischievously.

“I’m not—hold on, are you gaslighting me right now?” he accused, realizing your game.

“I would never!” you said, feigning innocence.

Lando almost toppled over the kayak trying to adjust, and you couldn’t contain your laughter. But eventually, you found your rhythm, paddling side by side through the tranquil waters.

“Okay, maybe this teamwork thing isn’t so bad after all,” he admitted, voice softer now.

“You think?” you teased, glancing at him with a smile.

The highlight of the day came with the private UNESCO Geopark mangrove cruise. You and Lando had been transferred to a small explorer boat, where you were taken through a landscape that felt almost otherworldly. Sheer limestone cliffs rose majestically from the water, their forms resembling ancient temples.

“This is incredible,” Lando murmured, voice tinged with awe as he leaned over the side of the boat.

You nodded, eyes fixed on the towering cliffs. “It feels like we’ve stepped into another world.”

The guide led you through the Tanjung Rhu River, Kisap River, and Kilim River, each stretch offering breathtaking views. At one point, you visited a fish farm and even ventured into the crocodile and bat cave, marveling at the natural formations.

When the cruise ended, the day slowly gave way to evening, and you returned to the resort. Lando had made a reservation for an outdoor dinner at the resort’s restaurant, with the table set against the backdrop of the sparkling Andaman Sea.

You were sitting right across from Lando, the soft glow of the setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink. “Today was really perfect,” you said, voice warm.

Lando reached across the table, taking your hand in his. “Well, that’s because I spent it with you.”

“To more days like this,” you said, raising your glass with your free hand.

“To more days with you,” Lando replied, raising his glass as well.

The waves whispered against the shore as you clink your glasses together, ending the amazing fun filled day in the most serene and beautiful way imaginable.

On the third day, which is your last day in Malaysia, felt like the perfect opportunity to slow down and enjoy a more relaxed pace with Lando. After having your breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, you decided to explore Kuala Lumpur together and do some shopping, mostly picking out Christmas gifts for family and friends. Your first stop was Cartier, where the staff immediately recognized you and Lando as you entered the boutique.

“Welcome back,” one of them greeted warmly. “Please, follow us to the VIP room.”

The room was elegant and private, with plush seating and pristine glass displays showcasing Cartier’s finest collections. You scanned the displays carefully, selecting gifts that felt personal and meaningful. From time to time, you would turn to Lando for his opinion, holding a piece to show it to him.

“What do you think of this one, love?” you asked, turning a bracelet in your hands.

Lando leaned in to get a closer look, studying it for a brief moment. “It’s nice, but maybe this design suits them better,” he suggested, pointing to another piece that has more classic finish to it.

His input was reassuring, and you found yourself smiling more with every choice you made. So piece by piece, you finalized your selections and decided to have each of it engraved with the names. While the staff began the engraving process, you took the opportunity to explore the display cases further.

Your eyes fell on the iconic Love rings, their sleek designs catching the light. The delicate design, with its understated elegance and signature screw motif had drawn you in immediately. You paused, gazing at them a little longer than you had intended. They were very stunning, and the thought of having matching ones with Lando crept into your mind.

For a moment, you let your mind wander. The thought of having matching Love rings with Lando made your heart flutter. It would be such a sweet symbol of your relationship, a quiet nod to the love you shared. But as quickly as the thought came, doubt crept in. Would he even want to wear something like that? You had only been together for a year, and while your relationship felt deep and serious, you weren’t even sure if he’d see it the same way.

“Miss?” the associate’s voice gently pulled you back to the present. “The items have been engraved and wrapped. Would you like us to send them directly to your hotel?”

You smiled, nodding. “Yes, please. That would be perfect. We still have some plans for the day.”

The associate assured you that everything would be taken care of. You thanked them again and turned to Lando, who was casually leaning against the counter, watching you with an easy smile. What you didn’t realize was that he had caught the way your gaze lingered on the Love rings earlier. But he decided not to say anything, only offering you his hand as the two of you prepared to leave.

“Ready to go?” he asked, voice gentle.

“Yes, let’s go,” you replied, sliding your hand into his.

As you both left the store hand in hand, the shopping bags destined for your hotel, Lando’s mind was already working, his thoughts drifting back to the love rings and making a mental note.

Finally, Dior was your final stop, and as you stepped into the elegantly designed VIP room, the ambiance felt as refined and luxurious as always. The staff greeted you warmly, offering refreshments and giving you a moment to settle in before showing you all of the latest collections.

You browsed through the items thoughtfully, then occasionally turning to Lando for his input, yet again, on potential gifts and personal picks. He followed you closely, hands tucked casually in his pockets, his easy demeanor adding a comfortable balance.

As you admired a pair of beautiful heels, Lando leaned in slightly, tone light but teasing. “You know your luggage is already packed to the brim, right?”

You paused mid-reach, blinking at him as his words sank in. “Wait…really?”

He nodded, trying to suppress a grin. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’d have to sit on it just to zip it up.”

With the sudden realization, you glanced back at the shelves, and you turned to the sales associate with a smile. “Do you have any luggage available in stock?”

The associate’s face lit up. “We do, actually! Let me bring it out for you.”

As the associate disappeared into the back, Lando let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head slightly. “Only you would come shopping for gifts and leave with luggage to carry it all.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, nudging his arm. “Well, if you’re going to go shopping, might as well do it properly.”

The associate soon returned, rolling out a sleek Dior luggage piece in a design you hadn’t seen before that caught your attention immediately. Its understated design and impeccable craftsmanship stood out, and you took a moment to examine it closely.

“This is perfect,” you said decisively, a satisfied smile spreading across your face. “I’ll take it. I don’t have one in this design yet, so it’ll be a great addition.”

Lando chuckled softly beside you as you made your way to the counter. When the associate had totaled the purchase, he casually pulled out his black card and handed it over, placing it on the counter.

“Here, I’ve got this,” he said smoothly, the corner of his mouth lifting in a small grin.

“No,” you reached into your bag without hesitation, pulling out your own black card and handing it to the associate directly. “I’m paying for this, please. It’s my shopping.”

The associate glanced between the two of you, clearly confused and trying to decide whose card to take. You were sure that the associate would take your card, so you focused briefly on a nearby display of handbags, thinking which designs might fit into your collection. While you were distracted, Lando seized the opportunity.

“Swipe it on mine,” he said quietly, giving the associate a quick, reassuring nod.

By the time you turned your attention back, the transaction was already complete, and the staff were carefully packing the luggage and other items into Dior’s signature paper bags.

“What just happened?” you asked, narrowing your eyes slightly as Lando smiles cheekily at you.

“Nothing, babe,” he replied, tone far too innocent to be convincing. “Just making sure you’re not overworking your card today.”

You sighed, half-exasperated but mostly amused. “You’re impossible.”

“Just making sure your new luggage is properly christened,” he teased.

Shaking your head with a small smile, you turned back to the associate and asked, “would it be possible to have everything be delivered to our hotel? We’ve got a dinner reservation coming up, and it would be easier if we didn’t have to carry all this.”

“Of course, Miss,” they replied, nodding. “We’ll ensure everything is delivered promptly.”

“Thank you,” you said warmly before turning back to Lando. “Ready to go?”

Lando placed a hand on the small of your back, guiding you towards the exit. “Let’s go.”

By the time you stepped out of Dior, the soft glow of dusk had already begun to settle over the city, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The streets were alive with the hum of evening traffic, but your thoughts were focused on the dinner reservation at Akar Dining.

The drive to the restaurant was peaceful, with Lando’s hand resting on your thigh as the car navigated the streets. You arrived just in time, the warm ambiance of the restaurant immediately wrapping around you as you stepped inside, the host greeted you and guided you to your table. Lando, ever the gentleman, pulled out your chair, his hand lingering briefly on the back of it as you sat down.

“Thank you,” you murmured with a small smile, adjusting the hem of your dress as you settled in.

Lando took his seat across from you just as a waiter approached your table with the menus. The dimly lit atmosphere, paired with the sophisticated decor had made the evening feel intimate and special. As you scanned the menu, your eyes immediately caught a few dishes you knew you would enjoy, while Lando appeared slightly less certain.

“So, what are you thinking of getting?” you asked, glancing up from your menu to find him frowning slightly.

“Honestly?” he set the menu down for a moment, leaning back in his chair. “Most of these seafood dishes aren’t really my thing.”

You couldn’t help but laugh softly, shaking your head. “It’s fine, just pick something else. You don’t have to love everything on the menu.”

Eventually, he decided on the braised aged duck, and you ordered a seafood dish that intrigued you. As you waited for the food, you took a sip of your water, your gaze lingering on Lando. The memory of what happened at Dior earlier was still fresh in your mind, and you decided to address it.

“By the way,” you began, setting your glass down. “Thank you for paying earlier at Dior, but you really didn’t have to, Lan.”

Lando shrugged casually, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Of course I did. You shouldn’t have to pay for something when I’m right here.”

You sighed lightly, tilting your head at him. “Lan, I can pay for my own things. I don’t want to rely on you all the time, especially when it’s my shopping.”

“I know you can,” he replied, tone soft but firm. “But that doesn’t mean I want you to. It’s not about whether you can afford it—it’s about me wanting to take care of you.”

You opened your mouth to protest, but he cut you off with a playful grin. “And before you argue, I’m not budging on this.”

“Well, if you’re so insistent on paying for everything,” you said, leaning forward slightly, “then at least let me pay for dinner tonight.”

“Not happening, love,” he said simply, leaning back in his chair with an air of finality.

“Lando,” you started, but the waiter returned just then with your food, momentarily halting the conversation.

As you both began to eat, you couldn’t help but glance at him occasionally, trying to come up with a way to outmaneuver him when the bill comes. Lando seemed thoroughly engrossed in his braised aged duck, nodding approvingly after the first few bites.

“This is actually really good,” he remarked, gesturing to his plate with his fork.

“It was worth the try,” you said with a satisfied smile, enjoying your own meal.

When the plates were cleared, the waiter had returned with the bill, and you reached for it instinctively, smiling as you’re about to get a hand on it, but to your dismay, Lando was faster. He snatched it from the waiter’s hand with a smoothness that left you momentarily stunned, his card already out and ready. Without a word, he placed it on the bill and handed it back to the waiter before you could even blink.

“Lando Norris!” you hissed, voice a mix of exasperation and disbelief. “I told you I was paying for dinner.”

“And I told you that you’re not,” he replied, tone calm and unbothered.

You stared at him, incredulous. “You can’t keep doing this. I have my own money, you know. I don’t need you to pay for everything, my love.”

“I know you don’t,” he said, leaning forward slightly. “But I wanted to. A gentleman never let his woman pay. End of story.”

“But—”

“No buts,” he interrupted gently, gaze soft but resolute. “I know that you’re independent, and I love that about you. But letting me take care of you every now and then doesn’t make you any less independent.”

You sighed, leaning back in your chair. “At some point, you have to let me pay too. I don’t want to feel like I’m relying on you for everything.”

“I get that. But tonight isn’t the point,” he said, as his thumb gently caressed your knuckles and brought it to his lips, kissing it softly. “Letting me take care of you once in a while doesn’t mean you’re relying on me. It just means that I love you.”

Your heart softened at his words, the sincerity in his voice melting away your objections. “Fine,” you murmured, though a playful edge crept into your tone. “But one day, you’re letting me pay for something. Mark my words.”

Lando chuckled, leaning back in his chair with a wide grin. “We’ll see about that.”

After an amazing dinner, you were finally back in your hotel. The moment you stepped inside the room, the exhaustion from the day’s adventures hit you like a wave. You slipped off your sandals with a sigh of relief, placed your bag on the vanity, and immediately collapsed onto the plush bed, letting the softness swallow you whole. Lando was not far behind, shutting the door with a soft click before walking over to where you lay sprawled out. He chuckled as he kicked off his sneakers, tossing them aside without any care.

“You look absolutely done,” he teased, voice laced with affection.

Without another word, he climbed onto the bed beside you, his arms snaking around your waist as he pulled you close. You didn’t protest, in fact, you just melted into his embrace—his warmth and familiar scent of his cologne instantly soothing your tired muscles.

“Don’t get too comfortable,” you murmured lazily, though you made no effort to move. “We still need to pack for tomorrow. I need to arrange the things we bought today inside the new luggage.”

Lando nuzzled his face into your neck, his breath warm against your skin. “Mhmm…packing can wait.” he said as he kissed your collarbone. “I just want to stay like this for a bit. It’s been such a good trip.”

You smiled faintly, tilting your head slightly to rest against his. “It really has. I think this was exactly what we needed, huh? Just us, no distractions.”

“Uh huh. No meetings, no interruptions…” Lando added with a sigh, tightening his hold on you. “I wish we could stay longer. Feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface here.”

You laughed softly. “You’re the one who extended our stay by an extra day. If we keep this up, we might not even make it to the UK in time for Christmas.”

He groaned dramatically, pulling you even closer. “Fine, you win. We’ll leave tomorrow, but I’m telling you, we’re coming back here next year.”

“Alright,” you replied, voice muffle as you buried your face in his chest.

For a few moments, neither of you spoke, content to lie tangled in each other’s arms as the city lights outside cast a faint glow into the hotel room.

“Okay, okay,” you finally said, breaking the peaceful silence. “We really need to pack, babe. I’m not about to start throwing things into a suitcase at five in the morning.”

He groaned again but rolled over, propping himself up on one elbow as he looked at you with a mischievous glint in his eye. “How about I do the packing, and you stay here looking all pretty?”

“Absolutely not,” you replied, swatting his arm lightly. “If you pack, I’ll end up with half my things missing and thrown with wrinkles.”

Lando laughed, sitting up and pulling you up with him. “Alright, fine. Let’s get it over with, but you owe me cuddles afterwards.”

You rolled your eyes playfully as you slid off of the bed. “Deal. Now, let’s get moving before you start whining again.”

He grinned, grabbing his suitcase and tossing it onto the bed with enthusiasm. “You know me so very well.”

As you were neatly folding a dress and placing it neatly in your suitcase, your phone rang, cutting through the quiet hum of activity in the hotel room. You glanced at the screen and saw Nick’s caller ID flashing. Your eyes immediately widened, and your stomach sank slightly—you had completely pushed aside the chaos from earlier in Singapore.

“Nicky,” you murmured, picking up the phone and quickly answering. Lando glanced up from his own packing, curious.

The moment the call connected, Nick’s face filled your screen, grinning from ear to ear. Before you could say anything, he shouted out, “WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!”

Your jaw dropped, and your heart leapt. “WHAT?!” you screamed, startling Lando, who immediately moved closer to check. “Oh my god! Nicky, are you serious?!”

Nick nodded excitedly, his smile growing wider. “Yes! I proposed to Rachel earlier, and she said yes! We’re getting married!”

A loud scream of happiness escaped you, and grabbed both Lando’s hands and jumped up and down, causing Lando to follow your lead, with you chanting ‘Nick and Rachel are getting married’ a couple of times. Both of you jumping like you’re in a cult, chanting to summon something.

“Nicky, this is amazing news! I’m so happy for you and Rachel! Oh my god, I’m going to cry!” you said, nearly dropping your phone in the process.

Lando laughed and leaned into the frame, resting a hand on your waist. “Congratulations, mate! That’s incredible news!”

“Thanks, man!” Nick said, grinning even wider. He turned back to you, clearly eager to share more details. “Mom finally came around, and she gave me the emerald ring to propose with. I actually chased Rachel to the airport, it turns out she was about to leave, already inside the plane and I just dropped on one knee and proposed to her. You should’ve seen Rachel’s face when I pulled out the ring, she was so shocked.”

You clutched your chest dramatically. “Nick, that’s so beautiful. I’m so, so happy for you both.”

Nick chuckled, his excitement very evident. “But wait, there’s more. I’m throwing a surprise engagement party for Rachel tomorrow night, and I need you both there. Please say you can come.”

You glanced over at Lando, your eyes silently asking if he was okay with changing plans. Lando, ever the supportive boyfriend that he is, nodded without any hesitation.

“We’re both in,” you said to Nick. “We’ll fly back to Singapore tomorrow.”

Nick let out a relieved sigh. “Thank you! I can’t wait to see you both, and don’t worry, it won’t be a massive party, just a small gathering of close friends and family.”

“We will not miss it,” you assured him. “But just so you know, we’ll have to leave right after the party. We’re expected in the UK before Christmas.”

“Fair enough,” Nick said, still beaming. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow then, and thank you, both of you, for being there for us.”

“Of course,” you replied, voice soft with emotion. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

After ending the call, you turned to Lando, who was smiling at your obvious joy. “Looks like we’re making another detour,” you said with a laugh.

“Well, wouldn’t have it any other way,” Lando replied, pulling you into a quick hug before returning to his packing.

The flight from Malaysia to Singapore passed quickly, only an hour long. You and Lando had decided to leave in the afternoon to allow yourselves some extra time to relax before the engagement party. By the time the private jet touched down at a private tarmac in Changi Airport, the sky had shifted to a warm, dusky hue.

You were already dressed for the event, adjusting the hem of your dress as you prepared to disembark. Your outfit for tonight complimented Lando’s outfit perfectly, a choice you both had coordinated without much effort. Deciding not to take your belongings off of the jet since you would be leaving Singapore immediately after the party. Taking one final glance at the jet’s sleek interior, you then stepped out.

Lando walked beside you, his hand firmly holding yours as he guided you down the steps of the jet. The heels you wore, though elegant, weren’t exactly forgiving, and his grip gave you the balance you needed. Once you reached the car waiting on the tarmac, he moved ahead, opening the door for you.

“Careful, love,” he murmured, holding out a hand to help you inside.

You gave Lando a small smile as you slid into the seat, careful not to wrinkle your dress. He followed right after, shutting the car door behind him. The soft hum of the car engine filled up the space as the vehicle pulled away, heading towards Marina Bay Sands. You then leaned into Lando slightly.

“You know,” Lando began with a playful smirk, “I think we’ve spent more time in Singapore lately than in Monaco.”

You laughed softly. “Tell me about it. It looks like we’ll be back here again sooner rather than later for Nick and Rachel’s wedding.”

He tilted his head in mock resignation. “I guess I’d better get used to the humidity then.”

“Oh come on,” you gave him a teasing nudge. “You’ve survived it so far. Besides, you look so good here, very tropical chic.”

Lando chuckled, resting his hand on yours. “Thanks, love. But seriously, it feels like everyone’s getting married or engaged all of a sudden. What’s with the December air.”

You sighed dramatically. “Tell me about it. First Colin and Minty, now Nick and Rachel, also don’t forget about my friend from Parsons! She’s getting married in Moscow next year and has already sent in the invitation.”

“Moscow, huh?” he mused. “Another flight for us?”

You glanced at him with a small smile. “If you want to come with me, that is. I don’t want to pressure you into attending all these weddings, I know that it can be really tiring.”

Lando tilted his head, pretending to think it over. “Moscow, a wedding, and a chance to see you again in another dress? Sounds like a total dream, so it’s a yes for me.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, nudging his arm. “You’re impossible.”

“And you love every bit of it,” he quipped, grinning.

As the car drove on, your thoughts began to drift. Weddings, engagements, proposals—it seemed like everyone around you was taking those big steps. You didn’t want to admit it, but that idea of marriage had been creeping into your mind more and more lately. It was not something you wanted to bring up, not yet, but still, it is a topic that had been occupying your mind.

You shook off the feeling, focusing instead on the city lights beginning to twinkle outside the car window. “Yeah, and I think that we’re going to need a bigger calendar,” you joked.

Lando laughed, resting a hand on your knee. “As long as you’re on it, I don’t mind.”

The car rolled to a smooth stop at the grand entrance of Marina Bay Sands, with the city lights reflecting off the sleek glass facade. The chauffeur had exited first, circling around to open your door, and before you could step out, Lando was already at your side, extending a hand to help you out of the car.

“I’ll be here at the agreed time to take you back to the airport, ma’am.” the chauffeur said as he tipped his hat.

“Thank you,” you replied with a polite smile.

Lando intertwined your hands, and you both began walking towards the entrance. The evening air was warm, and the energy surrounding the iconic building was palpable. A few people by the lobby immediately recognized Lando, and their eyes widened when they noticed you by his side.

“Excuse me,” a young woman asked hesitantly, clutching her phone. “Would it be alright if I can get a quick photo with you both?”

Lando exchanged glances with you and nodded warmly. “Of course, just a quick one.”

You stepped aside with him, pausing for a few photos, each person thanking you both profusely afterwards. Once the small crowd dispersed, you and Lando resumed your walk, making your way to the elevators that would take you to the sky deck. The elevator ride was smooth and swift, and when the doors opened, the familiar faces of your family, Nick’s closest friends, and your cousins scattered throughout the beautifully decorated space.

As your eyes scanned the crowd, you spotted your mother first. She stood near one of the seating areas, speaking animatedly with one of your aunts. You guided Lando over, and her expression shifted to surprise the moment she saw you both.

“Darling!” your mother exclaimed, pulling you into a tight embrace.

“Hi, Mom,” you greeted, smiling warmly before stepping aside so Lando could greet her.

Your mother opened her arms invitingly. “Lando, come here.”

Lando hugged her briefly but warmly, a soft laugh escaping him. “Hello, Auntie. It’s good to see you again.”

“Likewise,” your mother replied, taking a step back to look at you both. “I thought you’d already be in the UK by now.” she said, raising an eyebrow at you.

“We were supposed to leave after the day after the wedding,” you explained, “but we decided to make a quick stop in Malaysia for a few days. Then Nicky called last night and asked us to come, so here we are.”

She smiled knowingly. “Always the supportive cousin. But you’re leaving tonight?”

“Yes, the jet is on standby at the airport,” you confirmed. “We’ll head straight there after the party.”

Your mother nodded in satisfaction, and gave Lando a pat on the shoulder. “Well, you enjoy yourselves tonight. It’s a rare sight to see you two so relaxed.”

You and Lando exchanged a small smile before moving on to greet Colin and Araminta, who were just chatting near the champagne table.

“Hey!” Colin greeted, giving you both a hug. “I didn’t think we’d see you two again so soon.”

“Neither did we,” you replied with a laugh. “But here we are.”

You turned to Araminta, who hugged you warmly, then stepped back, smiling brightly. “It’s so good to see you again, and Lando, of course! You’re becoming quite the fixture at family events!”

Lando grinned. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Colin smirked. “At this rate, uncle’s going to give him the talk soon, if he hasn’t already. Then we all know whose wedding we’ll be attending soon after Nick and Rachel’s.”

You laughed, shaking your head. “Too late, Dad already gave him the talk, and even Ah Ma had given her blessing.”

Lando grinned, playing along. “Proud to say that I’ve passed all the tests by now.”

Araminta gasped dramatically, nudging Colin. “See? It’s official now. We’ll start saving the date!”

The four of you exchanged pleasantries and some laughs for a few moments before your attention was drawn to a surprising sight. Standing by the bar were none other than Bernard and Kitty, a pair you had not expected to see here at all. You caught Lando’s eye, and he gave you a subtle shrug, clearly just as a surprise.

Shaking it off, you turned your focus back, making your way toward your aunts. Auntie Alix, Auntie Eleanor, and Auntie Jacqueline, who were all chatting in a tight circle. You approached with Lando by your side, greeting each of them in turn with a polite kiss on the cheek and a warm smile.

“Ah, you’re here!” your Auntie Alix smiled. “I thought you were in the UK already.”

“Nick called,” you explained with a smile, “so here we are.”

“Well, we’re glad you made it,” your Auntie Jacqueline chimed in, “and you’re glowing tonight.” she added, her gaze flitting between you and Lando.

“Must be the Malaysian sun,” Lando jokes, earning a soft laugh from the group.

Your Auntie Eleanor gave Lando a sharp but playful look. “You’re certainly making yourself comfortable with this family, aren’t you?”

Lando smiled politely. “I’m just trying to keep up,” satisfied with his answer, your Auntie Eleanor waved you off with a chuckle.

Nick and Rachel hadn’t arrived yet, so you and Lando decided to take the opportunity to mingle with other guests. The evening was lively, with laughter and champagne flowing freely.

Several guests had approached you and Lando for photos, and you obliged, posing with ease. Lando kept a hand on your lower back, guiding you smoothly through the crowd as you moved from one group to another.

From across the room, you noticed your cousin Oliver weaving his way through the crowd, a bright smile on his face as he head towards you. As he approached, you and Lando turned to greet him.

“Oliver!” you said warmly, pulling him into a quick hug.

“Hey you two,” he said, giving you both a smile before continuing. “I want to introduce you to Rachel’s best friend. She’s dying to meet you.”

Curious, you exchanged a glance with Lando before agreeing. “Of course! Lead the way.”

Following Oliver, you navigated through the elegantly dressed guests until you stopped in front of a small group of people.

“Here we are,” Oliver said, motioning toward a striking woman with a vibrant smile. “This is Rachel’s best friend, Goh Peik Lin.”

You extended your hand toward her. “Peik Lin, it’s so nice to meet you!”

Peik Lin shook your hand warmly. “And it’s so nice to meet you as well!”

Your gaze traveled briefly over her outfit, a beautifully tailored dress that exuded elegance and sophistication. “I have to say, your outfit is incredible. You have such impeccable taste.”

Her smile widened, excitement evident. “Oh stop, you’re going to make me blush! But thank you, it means a lot coming from someone as stylish as you.”

Oliver then turned to the older couple standing beside Peik Lin. “And these are Peik Lin’s parents, Goh Wye Mun and Goh Nenna.”

You offered a polite smile as you greeted them. “It’s a pleasure to meet you both, Mr. and Mrs. Goh.”

Nenna’s eyes sparkled as she took your hand. “Just call us Auntie Nenna and Uncle Wye Mun! And my goodness, you’re even more gorgeous in person! I’ve seen photos of you, and they don’t do you justice! You’re very stunning, my dear!”

You laugh softly, feeling a light warmth rise to your cheeks. “You’re too kind, Auntie Nenna. Thank you so much.”

Then you turned to Wye Mun, whose expression shifted slightly as recognition dawned on him. He tilted his head, studying you for a moment.

“You’re one of Harrison Sr. and Elizabeth Young’s children, aren’t you? Their only daughter,” he said, tone a mixture of surprise and admiration.

You nodded, smiling. “That’s right. I’ve heard of your family before as well. If my memory serves me right, you’re the owner of Goh Developments, correct? One of Singapore’s most successful real estate companies?”

Wye Mun chuckled, clearly pleased. “Yes, that’s about right. I’m flattered you know about us.”

“Of course!” you said. “Your company’s work is extraordinary. Some of your developments are architectural masterpieces.”

The brief exchange shifted naturally into a short discussion about real estate, with Wye Mun enthusiastically sharing tidbits about recent projects. Peik Lin listened intently, Oliver and Lando conversing with each other, while Nenna just watched the whole conversation with a smile.

You then gestured towards Lando afterwards, who had been standing quietly beside you. “Allow me to introduce to you my boyfriend, Lando.”

Lando extended his hand towards Wye Mun, who shook it firmly. Wye Mun’s eyes lit up in recognition. “Ah, Lando Norris! I watched you win the Singapore GP last September. Quite an incredible race, I must say. You’ve got some serious talent.”

“Thank you so much,” Lando said with a polite smile. “It was an unforgettable race for sure.”

“And I didn’t know that you were dating the darling of the Singaporean social elite!” Wye Mun added with a playful tone, eyes twinkling.

“Oh Wye Mun, look at them!” Nenna interjected, her gaze moving between you and Lando. “They look so good together, a very beautiful couple. Perfect match!”

Wye Mun nodded in agreement, tone light. “Quite the power couple, I’d say.”

You couldn’t help but smile at their comment, glancing at Lando, who was already looking at you with a soft expression. “Thank you,” you replied simply.

The conversation continued easily, with the group exchanging stories and laughs. The atmosphere was warm, and you felt genuinely pleased to meet Rachel’s best friend and their family.

As the buzz of conversation faded into hushed whispers, Araminta stepped forward with a smile and announced, “Nick and Rachel are on their way up now! Everyone, take your positions.”

You and Lando stood slightly off to the side, his hand on your waist, caressing it softly and tracing shapes. The elegant lighting of the sky deck reflected off the cityscape, casting a soft glow over the gathered guests.

Lando leaned in close, his breath warm against your ear. “You know,” he whispered, tone teasing, “it was so hot watching you talk business with Wye Mun earlier. You looked so serious and confident.”

You glanced at him, barely suppressing a smile, and gave his chest a soft slap. “Stop being cheeky right now, Norris,” you muttered, keeping your voice low to avoid drawing any attention.

But it looks like Lando was not done yet. He grinned at you mischievously, his voice dipping lower. “I mean it, baby. The way you talked about developments and projects? Very impressive, very attractive.”

You rolled your eyes, though your cheeks warmed slightly. “Lando,” you whispered warningly, “behave. This is not the time.”

He bit back a chuckle, amusement evident. “Fine, fine. But you should know, I can’t help it when you’re like that.”

You shushed him quietly, your finger briefly brushing his lips. “Quiet now,” you insisted softly, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention.

As you returned your focus to the party, your thoughts flicked back to your earlier conversation with Wye Mun. Real estate development has always intrigued you—the intricacies, potential, and stories behind every project. It was not just a polite conversation, it was a chance to learn and build connections.

“Besides,” you murmured to Lando, keeping your tone casual, “it’s always good to broaden your network. Even if I already have so many, there’s no harm in widening the circle.”

Lando nodded, his expression now a mix of curiosity and pride. “Well, you’ve got a point,” he said softly.

You let your eyes wander across the crowd, noting a few familiar faces mingling among the guests. “This place is full of businesspeople—major players in the industry, tonight,” you whispered to him. “I can recognize a few who could even be potential sponsors for McLaren.” Lando raised a brow at you, intrigued.

You turned to him, giving him a playful wink. “Who knows? Maybe I’ll help you land a deal or two.”

Lando smirked, leaning in closer to you again. “Now that,” he said, tone low and teasing, “is a kind of teamwork I can get behind.”

The sky deck fell in a hush as everyone stood in their positions, waiting for Nick and Rachel’s arrival. The atmosphere was buzzing, a mix of excitement and happiness among the crowd. The distant hum of the elevator announced their approach, and then, with a soft chime, doors slid open.

Nick stepped out first, his hands gently covering Rachel’s eyes as he carefully guided her forward into the middle of the crowd. Rachel, her posture both curious and expectant, laughed lightly, clearly amused by the surprise. The whole crowd held its collective breath, watching as Nick finally removed his hands from Rachel’s eyes.

The second her eyes opened, the silence of the crowd was replaced with an eruption of cheers and applause. Screams of happiness echoed across the sky deck, led enthusiastically by Colin and Araminta. Rachel’s expression had transformed into one of pure, radiant happiness as she took sight of everyone gathered for her. Overwhelmed with emotion, she raised her hand, showing off the stunning emerald ring that sparkled under the lights, then pointing to it with a grin.

People surged forward, surrounding Nick and Rachel with hugs and congratulations. You and Lando joined in with the crowd, your laughter blending with everyone else’s as you approached the newly engaged couple.

“Congratulations!” you said, beaming as you hugged Rachel tightly. “I’m so happy for you both.”

Nick grinned, pulling you into a quick hug as well. “Thank you for being here. It wouldn’t have been the same without you.”

Lando shook Nick’s hand before giving Rachel a warm hug. “You two are perfect for each other.”

Nick, ever the joker, glanced between you and Lando, a teasing glint in his eyes. “You know,” he began, tone playful, “I have a strong feeling you two might be the next one.”

Rachel, catching on, nodded enthusiastically. “Oh, absolutely! We’ll have to start planning your engagement party real soon.”

You and Lando exchanged amused looks, chuckling. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” you replied, though your heart skipped a beat at the thought.

As much as you adored Nick and Rachel, you did not need them adding more fuel to the fire—you were already simmering with wedding fever.

After the flood of congratulations, Nick took Rachel’s hand and gently guided her attention towards the infinity pool, where a group of synchronized swimmers began an elegant performance, their movements perfectly timed to the music. Rachel gasped softly, her eyes lighting up with wonder as she watched.

Then, from the corner of our eye, you noticed Rachel spotting your Auntie Eleanor standing a little way off. For a brief moment, the noise and excitement seemed to face as the two women exchanged a look, one of understanding and newfound respect. The warmth in Rachel’s smile and the subtle nod from your Auntie Eleanor spoke volumes. It filled your heart with joy to see that your aunt had finally come around, embracing Rachel in the way she deserved.

Nick then pulled Rachel into a tender kiss, earning a round of applause and cheers again from the crowd. Lando stepped behind you, wrapping his arms securely around your waist, holding you close. His chin rested lightly on your shoulder, and you could feel his warmth radiating through you.

The sound of fireworks exploding above pulled everyone’s attention upward. Bright colors lit up the sky, reflecting off the glass and water, painting the moment in vibrant hues. The cheers grew louder, people pointing and marveling at the display. You stayed like that, wrapped in Lando’s arms, watching the sky.

With fireworks still illuminating the sky and Lando’s arms wrapped securely around you, a quiet realization settled in your heart. It was not something sudden, it was something that had been building over time, piece by piece, moment by moment. The depth of love that you feel for Lando was staggering, overwhelming even, and yet it felt so natural.

You had dated before, countless boys who had seemed charming or interesting at the time, but none of them had ever come close to Lando. They never understood you the way Lando did. With him, there was no guessing, pretending, or effort to mold yourself into someone else’s idea of what love should look like. Lando saw you, truly saw you, in a way that no one else ever had. To be seen was to be loved.

This was what set Lando apart. With him, you never had to explain your silences, quirks, or the way your mind wandered to far-off places. He did not just tolerate those things, in fact, he cherished them. He loved them. With Lando, you felt understood in a way that words could never fully capture.

You thought back to the other relationships before Lando, the boys who had come before. They had their moments, but they always felt…incomplete. There had been a disconnect, a lingering sense that you were only partly there, only partly understood. They never have you the feeling that Lando did—feeling of being wholly, entirely loved. Lando was the man that you had been praying for, and for once, God had led Lando to you.

Sure, the way he loved you was not perfect, but it was honest. It was raw and real, and it made you feel more like yourself than you ever thought possible. Lando had this way of making you feel like you were the only person in the world, like his entire focus was only on you and no one else. That was the truth of it, wasn’t it? You had never felt this way with anyone else, and you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that no one else could make you feel the way he did. Lando was not just someone you loved—he was the person you wanted to spend your forever with.

The thought settled deeply in your chest, filling every corner of your heart with an indescribable warmth. It was not just that you loved him—it was that he was home.

“I love you,” you looked up at him, smiling.

Lando looked at you, smiling. He then whispered, “I love you too, so fucking much.”

Something IMPORTANT that ML completely forget to included in canon series

“ LORE AND BACKSTORY “

This two important thing aside Character Development and consistency that ML completely forget to be included. But which Lore and Backstories that deserve to be included in series and deserved its own Episode for it :

GABRIEL BACKSTORY (Before meet Emilie and before her “Death”)

If you wanted to prove that Gabriel indeed used to be a good man just like how the narrative wanted to sympathize with him, then SHOW IT ON HIS FREAKING FLASHBACK ! There are LOT OF HINTS about his background but it only mentioned in exposition rather than shown from his point of view. Heck we also didn’t even see in from Adrien flashback about how Gabriel used to be from his point-of-view. Adrien mention that Gabriel is “changed-man” after Emilie “Death” but That Guy didn’t show some mini brief flashback about how he used to be from his own son point-of-view. Dear orc and his followers, how can I sympathize with Gabriel if we can’t see how he used to be on-screen to make the viewer understand him but spend lot of money on unnecessary “CHloe Is EvuuuulZzz All Along” flashback episode only to excuse Marinette stalkery behavior ?   

THE LORE OF ALL MIRACULOUSES 

Oh yes ! This one is need to be mentioned in EARLY EPISODE instead in NON-CANON COMIC. Sure the comic explained quite good concept about Miraculouses and Kwami but they don’t expand or mentioned it again in freaking canon-show. They have TWO MOVIES about another Miraculouses but still doesn’t bring about the creator of the jewels or how the jewels were created ! Making the movies are pointless “other country representation” 

OTHER IMPORTANT CHARACTER BACKSTORY 

They show spend lot of money to create unnecessary filler episode that not really important for the plot. Derision included since it was nothing more a cheap excuse about Marinette stalkery behavior need blamed on Chloe and her “love-trauma” is completely random since it never shown when she date Luka (Maybe Luka is not white-blonde boy lols) .We already know almost everything about Bourgeois but it doesn’t really important for the plot but what about the other character who willingly worked or having a connection with Gabriel and anything that still ties with the plot of then show ?

There are many unnecessary filler episode that can be replaced with :

Adrien’s backstory before Emilie “Death” since we need to learn about how his life before the series started like come on~ He is THE MAIN CHARACTER right ?! 

Emilie’s backstory ! Is she good or evil ?! Who the hell is she ?! Why we should care about her and her “death” is impact for the plot ?! 

How the Order or Guardian founded ? are they good or evil ?!

Were there any Butterfly Predecessor that ever become Evil which resulting why the power of Buttterfly renamed as “Akumatization” ?

Nathalie past and how she meet both Emilie and Gabriel 

Tomoe Tsurugi past and why she wanted worked with Gabriel (+ Kagami’s past)

Lila past especially WHO THE HELL IS SHE ?! Is she human or Alien-something ? 

I know that some of you claim “It was budget reason” or something to defend lacking of this. Here something I need to talk with you : Agent Ali and BoBoiBoy the 3D Animation from Malaysia, while the budget are not as much as Miraculous Ladybug, they still show about the lore and backstory that important for the plot

Before expand the story into Galaxy series, Original Series BoBoiBoy already had the backstory of the antagonist, the race of the antagonist origin and the lore of Power Sphera (The robot who also of the source of any power) and why the robots constantly hunted by many Aliens by have the 1st generation of Power Sphera show in the 1st movie. Season 1 of Galaxy has brief explanation about TAPOPS (organization of Power Sphera protector) and a canon-special chapter about Fang and Kaizo past. The 2nd Movie and Season 2 Galaxy explain the lore of BoBoiBoy Elemental form, their previous masters (most of them explained brief by their closed relation and family), fusion form and 3rd tier form. Mechamato is a prequel about Amato (BoBoiBoy Father) childhood. Sure we still has no idea about Fang and the others power origins but at least they already explain the lore of the main character power and important things like some antagonist origin and the Power Sphera 

Agents Ali has several flashback and backstory about the main series important character like the main character, pillar chiefs, antagonist and the rivals to know about their life and their motivation. Even the minor one like Young Agents has a chance to share about their motivation .Then we have a movie about Aliya, Ali’s mother and creator of IRIS and OVERRIDE MODE (the gadget who constantly hunted by main villains), her past and the villain who connected with her

There are lot of children animation that still care about to show background of important character.Steven Universe has SEVERAL flashback to show about the Diamonds, Rose Quartz and Crystal Gems and Greg Universe past to know about their character. ATLA has flashback about royal nation family, the main character past and how the character learn their elemental power

Miraculous Ladybug forget to include it since they only care about Love Square fanservice and “revenge-fantasy” on bratty teenage girl. In Season 5 they try to include these but only create more retcon and inconsistency and become way too rushed

A Review of Adele Lim’s ‘Joy Ride’ (2023)

Joy Ride (2023) is a comedy movie directed by Adele Lim, who is making her directorial debut. The film follows four Asian-American friends, played by Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu, traveling throughout China searching for Audrey’s biological mother. Audrey was adopted by American parents as a baby, leaving her no recollection of her birth family and heritage. Along the way, they encounter various challenges, including a drug smuggler, a Chinese businessman, a famous actress’s fiancé, and a basketball team down for fun. The movie is a funny and candid exploration of identity and self-discovery, highlighting the universal truth of accepting and loving oneself.

Let me be honest; I do not directly relate to the main characters. I am a white male who was not adopted by parents who lived in another country. But I still appreciate the movie’s story and find the comedic situations hilarious. I always value it when I can walk into a viewing of a film with the intent to be entertained with a good story and be given exactly that by the time the end credits begin to roll across the screen. This movie accomplished meeting my expectations.

Behind the scenes, Joy Ride is helmed by Adele Lim, an accomplished Malaysian-American screenwriter and producer who has made quite an impression during her tenure in Hollywood. Her notable contributions include co-writing the groundbreaking romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians (2018), which broke a 25-year record by being the first American-based film to prominently feature an Asian cast, a feat previously achieved only by The Joy Luck Club (1993). Lim has also contributed to the screenplay for Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), an animated fantasy adventure inspired by Southeast Asian cultures.

With her background in journalism in Malaysia, Lim boldly pursued her dream of becoming a television writer and has worked on several successful shows such as One Tree Hill, Private Practice, Lethal Weapon, and Dynasty. Lim is passionately committed to sharing authentic and diverse stories that reflect her personal experiences and heritage and is dedicated to mentoring and advocating for aspiring writers of color in the industry. Her work has earned several well-deserved awards and nominations, including a Writers Guild of America Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, and a Hollywood Film Award.

Crossroads in Seoul

Pairing: Fiona Lee Yu Ying (fictional) x Lee Seokmin

Genre: AU, Romance, Chicklit, Mature

Status: On going

Link: Wattpad

Summary:

Fiona's the ultimate city nomad, going from Kuala Lumpur one day to some far-off place the next, all for the job she holds dear.

In the middle of all this hustle, her personal life's got its own set of hurdles. She's hanging onto bits of a connection that she kinda knew wasn't the real deal. But she's still holding tight, like it's hard to let go.

In all actuality, the life she's been living carved a hollow in her heart, a gap that's like a puzzle missing pieces. She's got this urge to start anew, to leave it all behind, but the unknown's a bit scary. And being alone again? Well, that's not a thrilling idea.

Then, boom, Seoul happens. She meets this guy with a heart of gold, a smile that could light up the night, and charisma that's practically electric. And guess what? In no time, he's her sunshine on a cloudy day. Love sparks, and it's like a mutual thing. But wait for it: Fiona's work gig there is just a month.

Talk about a curveball.

Warnings: alcohol, non-consensual, attempted sexual assault, suicide/attempted suicide, and mental health issue. If you are sensitive to anything mentioned, this story isn't for you.

Author notes: Hi, this is my first time posting some of my writing on internet. I have always writing some story over the past years, and this story is one of it. Only, I've adapted Dokyeom of Seventeen (Lee Seokmin) character into this. But not 100% similar to his behavior or personality as seen on screen, because that is not my goal. It's an alternate universe fanfic. There are times I'm in doubt of posting this, even now. But, if I don't do it, I wouldn't know right? So any criticisms will be well accepted.  Without further ado, the background of this story are set between Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and South Korea (Seoul). While it is adapting a real life experience, most of it have been changed to fit in the story better. It centered around the life of Fiona, a woman in her 30 facing her midlife crisis. Meanwhile, the other characters are mostly in their late 20s, working environment.    Almost every chapter starts with the main character's point-of-view, and some parts are in third point-of-view. I also used some Korean terms, like ahjumma, oppa, unnie, nuna, and many more. I'll add in the translation in the text. It is not entirely a lighthearted story, but it is also not entirely dark. Everything I've mentioned in the warnings are handled with a great deal of sensitivity and care. With hope that I didn't offend anybody.   Lastly, English isn't my first language here, but I tried my best. So I'm sorry if there is any grammatical errors. And I hope you enjoy.

The Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: A Modern Aviation Mystery

In the early hours of March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370), a Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers and crew, vanished from radar while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The aircraft’s disappearance triggered one of the most extensive and costly searches in aviation history, spanning vast stretches of the Indian Ocean. Despite years of investigation, the exact fate of MH370 remains one of the greatest mysteries in modern aviation.

The Flight and Initial Disappearance

MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:41 a.m. local time. The aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude of 35,000 feet and communicated with air traffic control (ATC) as expected. At 1:19 a.m., the plane’s final verbal communication came from the cockpit: “Good night, Malaysian three-seven-zero.” Moments later, the aircraft disappeared from ATC radar screens as it left Malaysian airspace and failed to check in with Vietnamese ATC.

Initially, it was believed the plane might have suffered a catastrophic failure. However, military radar data later revealed that after losing contact, the plane made a sharp turn west, flew back over the Malay Peninsula, and continued over the Andaman Sea. This deviation from its planned route raised suspicions of deliberate action.

The Search

1. Initial Efforts

The first phase of the search focused on the South China Sea, where the aircraft was last tracked by civilian radar. When no debris was found, attention shifted westward to the Indian Ocean based on the military radar data.

2. Satellite Pings and the Southern Indian Ocean

Investigators discovered that MH370 continued to send hourly “handshake” signals to a satellite operated by British telecommunications company Inmarsat. These pings revealed the plane’s location along an arc stretching from Central Asia to the southern Indian Ocean. Combined with fuel estimates, investigators concluded the plane likely crashed somewhere along the southern arc after running out of fuel.

3. Underwater Search

A massive underwater search was launched in the remote southern Indian Ocean. Using advanced sonar and remotely operated vehicles, teams scanned 46,000 square miles of seabed. Despite these efforts, no wreckage was found in the primary search area.

4. Debris Discoveries

Beginning in 2015, pieces of debris confirmed to be from MH370 began washing up on the shores of islands in the Indian Ocean, including Réunion, Mozambique, and Madagascar. These fragments included a flaperon, wing sections, and interior components. While the debris confirmed that the aircraft had crashed, it provided little insight into the events leading up to the disappearance.

Theories

The lack of concrete evidence has fueled numerous theories about what happened to MH370. Here are the most prominent:

1. Pilot Involvement

One widely discussed theory suggests that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah deliberately diverted the plane. Zaharie was experienced and respected, but investigators found a flight simulator in his home with routes plotted over the southern Indian Ocean. Critics argue this could indicate premeditation, but no definitive evidence of his intent has been found.

2. Hijacking

Another theory posits that MH370 was hijacked by passengers or crew. However, no group claimed responsibility, and there were no known individuals on board with suspicious backgrounds.

3. Mechanical Failure

Some speculate that a mechanical or electrical failure caused the crew to lose consciousness, leaving the plane on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. This scenario, known as a “ghost flight,” could explain the lack of communication and the plane’s erratic path.

4. Cargo Fire

A less common theory suggests that a fire in the cargo hold, possibly from lithium-ion batteries or other volatile materials, incapacitated the crew and passengers. However, this doesn’t fully explain the deliberate course change.

5. Shot Down

Some believe the plane was accidentally or deliberately shot down by a military force and the incident was covered up. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.

6. Conspiracy Theories

The disappearance of MH370 has spawned a host of conspiracy theories, including claims of alien abduction, secret military operations, or a government cover-up. While these theories capture public imagination, they lack factual basis.

The Aftermath

The disappearance of MH370 had profound effects on aviation safety and regulation. Recommendations included improved tracking of aircraft, real-time data transmission, and longer battery life for underwater locator beacons.

For the families of the 239 people on board, the lack of answers has been a source of ongoing pain and frustration. Despite multiple investigations and searches, they are left with more questions than closure.

Renewed Efforts

In 2018, a private company, Ocean Infinity, conducted a new search in the Indian Ocean using advanced technology. While they covered over 43,000 square miles, they found no additional debris or wreckage. Some experts believe the plane may lie in unsearched areas, and there are calls for further exploration as technology advances.

Legacy

The disappearance of MH370 remains an enduring mystery, one that has captured the world’s attention like few others. It raises profound questions about how a modern aircraft with 239 people on board could vanish in an age of global connectivity and sophisticated technology.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, the search for answers continues—not only for the sake of solving the mystery but also for improving safety in the skies.

What do you think happened to MH370? Could new technology or discoveries one day solve this heartbreaking mystery? Share your thoughts and theories on one of the most compelling unsolved cases in aviation history.

Choosing the Right Video Conferencing Platform for Your Malaysian Business

In the digital age, video conferencing has become an essential tool for businesses worldwide, including in Malaysia. Whether for remote work, client meetings, or team collaboration, the right video conferencing platform can enhance communication, streamline workflows, and increase productivity. However, with many options on the market, selecting the best fit can be challenging. This guide will help you navigate the key factors to consider when choosing the right video conferencing platform for your Malaysian business.

1. Assess Your Business Needs

Define Key Uses: Determine whether the primary use will be for internal meetings, client presentations, training sessions, or a combination. Knowing the specific needs helps in selecting a platform with suitable features.

User Capacity: Consider the typical number of participants. For larger organizations, a platform with high-capacity meeting options is essential, while smaller companies may need fewer participants per call.

Frequency and Duration of Meetings: Frequent or lengthy meetings might require a platform with unlimited meeting times or long-duration capabilities.

2. Evaluate Platform Features

HD Video and Audio Quality: Malaysian businesses aiming for a professional look should prioritize high-quality video and audio.

Screen Sharing and Presentation Tools: Platforms with robust screen-sharing and collaboration tools facilitate better presentations and effective remote work.

Recording Options: The ability to record meetings is valuable for future reference, training, or accountability.

Integration with Other Tools: Some platforms integrate well with tools like Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, or project management software, improving productivity by keeping everything in one ecosystem.

Security Features: Look for end-to-end encryption, password protection, and compliance with industry standards, as these ensure that sensitive information remains secure.

3. Consider User Experience and Ease of Use

Simple Interface: An intuitive interface makes it easy for employees to use without extensive training, reducing potential interruptions and user frustration.

Mobile and Desktop Accessibility: A good platform should work smoothly across devices so employees can join from both desktops and mobile devices as needed.

Language Support: For businesses in Malaysia, having language options can be an added benefit, especially if working with a multilingual team or clients.

4. Review Platform Scalability and Flexibility

Scalability for Future Growth: Consider whether the platform can grow with your business. Look for options that allow you to upgrade plans or add new features without switching platforms.

Customizable Features: Some platforms provide options for branding, custom backgrounds, or layout choices, which can enhance your business’s professional image.

5. Analyze Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Considerations

Pricing Tiers: Many platforms offer different plans based on user capacity, meeting duration, and feature access. Compare these to find the best value.

Hidden Costs: Consider potential extra costs for add-ons like additional storage, integrations, or dedicated support.

Free vs. Paid Options: Free platforms may be sufficient for smaller businesses or infrequent use, but growing businesses may find that paid options with more robust features are worth the investment.

6. Look for Local and International Support

Customer Support Availability: Check if the platform offers 24/7 support, which can be helpful for businesses working with international clients or during critical meetings.

Localized Support for Malaysia: Some platforms may offer regional customer service or resources tailored to Malaysian users, providing faster response times and understanding local requirements better.

7. Test Platform Reliability and Connectivity

Stable Connectivity: In Malaysia, internet reliability may vary, so choose a platform that handles lower bandwidth efficiently.

Data and Bandwidth Usage: Some platforms consume more bandwidth than others. For businesses in locations with bandwidth limits, this is crucial to avoid disrupted meetings.

Trial Periods: Many platforms offer free trials. Use these trials to assess how well the platform performs under real-world conditions, including peak times and during presentations or file sharing.

8. Explore Top Video Conferencing Platforms for Malaysian Businesses

Zoom: Known for its ease of use, Zoom offers flexible plans and high-quality video but may come with higher bandwidth requirements.

Microsoft Teams: Ideal for businesses using Microsoft 365, it integrates seamlessly with Microsoft apps and is popular among large organizations.

Google Meet: Integrated with Google Workspace, Google Meet is great for businesses already using Google’s suite of tools.

Cisco Webex: Known for its security features and scalability, Cisco Webex is a preferred choice for businesses with high security or compliance needs.

Jitsi Meet: An open-source, free-to-use option, Jitsi Meet offers flexibility and is suitable for smaller businesses or tech-savvy users who can customize the platform.

9. Prioritize Data Security and Compliance Standards

Encryption Standards: End-to-end encryption helps protect the privacy of your conversations and data, essential for business-related discussions.

Compliance with Global and Regional Standards: Malaysian businesses working internationally may need platforms compliant with GDPR or other data privacy standards.

Data Storage and Access: Consider where your data is stored, especially if working in sectors that require strict compliance like finance or healthcare.

Conclusion

Choosing the right video conferencing platform can greatly impact your Malaysian business’s productivity, communication, and client relationships. By assessing your specific needs, considering platform features, and prioritizing ease of use and security, you can select a video conferencing tool that meets your business’s demands. Take advantage of free trials, analyse your options, and invest in a platform that will support your business’s growth and communication needs in Malaysia.

Benefits of Pre-Employment Background Screening

Background checks for job applicants are now standard in almost every business. Most companies use some form of screening when hiring new staff, and it's clear why. A good background screening program will lower hiring costs by showing clear benefits from the beginning.

With the job market struggling, more applicants may not be sincere because they are desperate to find work. Background screening helps your company find people with potential issues in their past and manage the many applicants that come with job postings. Recent studies indicate that nearly 60% of job applicants have been dishonest on their resumes or job applications to appear more attractive to companies.

A third-party Background Screening Malaysia can help create a program that fits your company's needs. Here are six key perks you'll notice right away when you use a complete solution:

Better Quality of Hires

When you use a thorough background screening tool, you'll see that the quality of the people you hire improves significantly. Finding the right talent is a challenge for almost every business, and getting the correct information about people is a big part.

Enhanced Safety and Security

Background Screening Malaysia help decrease the risk of workplace violence by removing applicants who may threaten the work setting. The thorough screening will explain past events that might help us understand behaviors that could be dangerous later on. FBI data indicates that workers and managers often face issues like minor assaults, domestic violence, threats, harassment (including sexual harassment), stalking, and physical or emotional abuse every day.

Better adherence to regulations

A third-party Pre Employment Screening provider with in-house compliance expertise can help your company create a screening solution that satisfies your industry standards and state and federal regulatory requirements, which vary from state to state and by the type of position you are staffing. Your business could face fines and legal problems without a background screening program.

Reducing Risks of Negligent Hiring

Negligent hiring can be very risky because it can make your company responsible for what your workers do. It has become increasingly commonplace to see a company that failed to check the backgrounds of employees prior to hiring and consequently became liable because of it. When a company experiences problems that it could have avoided by being aware of an employee's history, lawsuits can arise, significantly damaging the company's image.

Reduction in Employee Turnover

Checking the backgrounds of new workers can significantly lower the number of people who leave the job unexpectedly. Learning more about a new hire before employing them reduces the likelihood of a disastrous hire.

Reduced drug and alcohol abuse

Drug and alcohol usage can cause skipping work, being late, high employee turnover, bad attitudes, stealing, low productivity, criminality, and violence. Screening can reduce these consequences.

Conclusion

Hiring managers must discover and screen candidates. In a recruitment agency survey of thousands of hiring managers, over half said job hopefuls lied on their applications. Many candidates exaggerated their skills and achievements; some even had fake degrees or diplomas. They are also often caught fibbing about the scope of responsibilities and job experience they had in their previous job. A Background Screening Malaysia before hiring someone today is essential to prevent hiring someone unsuitable. Careful attention is needed to avoid losses in production and profit. Angel Checks can assist you with that.

Monetizing Your Music: KKBOX’s Artist Revenue Model

Music streaming has evolved dramatically in the last decade, and Asia has been a key market in this revolution. Among the platforms leading this change is KKBOX, a Taiwan-based music streaming service that has established itself as a dominant force in the Asian music industry. With a vast library of songs, unique features, and a strong focus on local artists, KKBOX has successfully carved out a niche in a competitive market. This article will explore how KKBOX has revolutionized the music streaming industry in Asia and how it continues to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of both artists and listeners.

The Rise of KKBOX:

KKBOX was launched in 2004, making it one of the earliest music streaming services in Asia. Initially available in Taiwan, KKBOX quickly expanded to other regions, including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. It entered these markets at a time when physical music sales were declining, and piracy was rampant. KKBOX offered a legal and convenient alternative, providing users with access to a wide range of music from both international and local artists.

One of the reasons for KKBOX’s rapid success was its early focus on localization. Unlike many Western streaming services, KKBOX understood the importance of catering to local tastes and preferences. The platform offered music in various languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean, alongside English and other international music. This approach helped KKBOX attract a broad user base, as listeners could find music that resonated with their cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Unique Features Setting KKBOX Apart:

KKBOX is not just another music streaming platform; it offers unique features that set it apart from competitors. One of the standout features is its real-time lyrics display, which allows users to sing along with their favorite tracks as the lyrics appear on their screens. This feature is particularly popular among karaoke enthusiasts, a significant segment of the music-listening population in Asia.

Another feature that makes KKBOX unique is its social listening options. Users can follow their favorite artists, create collaborative playlists, and even listen to music simultaneously with friends, regardless of their physical location. This social aspect of KKBOX enhances user engagement, making the platform more than just a place to stream music. It becomes a space where fans can connect, share, and discover new music together.

Moreover, KKBOX offers a “Listen with” function, allowing users to listen to the same song as a celebrity or artist in real time. This interactive feature has created a more intimate connection between fans and their favorite artists, providing a personalized experience that few other platforms offer.

Supporting Local and Independent Artists:

One of the most notable contributions of KKBOX to the music industry is its support for local and independent artists. While many international platforms focus primarily on mainstream global hits, KKBOX has always prioritized local music scenes. The platform frequently features local artists and traditional genres, providing a space for them to thrive in an industry that can often be dominated by international acts.

KKBOX has also partnered with platforms like Deliver My Tune, a global distribution service that helps independent musicians get their music on major streaming platforms, including KKBOX. This partnership has opened doors for countless independent artists to reach wider audiences, enabling them to monetize their music and gain exposure in the Asian market.

By supporting local and independent artists, KKBOX has played a vital role in preserving the rich musical heritage of various Asian cultures while simultaneously promoting new and emerging talent. This balance between tradition and innovation has helped KKBOX maintain its relevance and popularity across multiple generations of music lovers.

Expansion and Adaptation in a Competitive Market:

As the music streaming industry has grown, so has the competition. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music have entered the Asian market, bringing with them vast libraries of music and significant marketing budgets. Despite this, KKBOX has managed to hold its own by continuously evolving and adapting to the changing landscape of the industry.

One of the ways KKBOX has stayed ahead of the competition is by embracing new technologies. The platform has integrated AI-powered recommendations, offering users personalized playlists based on their listening habits. This use of machine learning has made music discovery easier and more enjoyable, ensuring that users always have fresh content to explore.

KKBOX has also expanded its services beyond music streaming. The platform now offers a range of entertainment options, including live concerts, exclusive interviews with artists, and music-related content such as podcasts and music videos. This diversification has helped KKBOX stay relevant in an era where content consumption is no longer limited to just audio.

Challenges and Future Prospects:

While KKBOX has achieved remarkable success, it faces several challenges in the highly competitive music streaming market. One of the main challenges is competing with global giants like Spotify and Apple Music, which have larger user bases and more extensive marketing resources. However, KKBOX’s focus on localization, unique features, and strong ties to the Asian market have allowed it to maintain a loyal user base.

Looking ahead, KKBOX is likely to continue expanding its reach in Asia and potentially other regions. The platform’s emphasis on supporting local artists and offering a personalized user experience will be key to its future growth. Additionally, as the demand for interactive and social music experiences continues to rise, KKBOX’s innovative features, such as real-time lyrics and social listening, will likely play a crucial role in attracting new users.

Conclusion:

KKBOX has revolutionized music streaming in Asia by offering a platform that caters to the unique tastes and preferences of local listeners while supporting independent and emerging artists. Its innovative features, such as real-time lyrics and social listening, have set it apart from competitors and created a more engaging user experience. As KKBOX continues to evolve and adapt to the changing music landscape, it remains a key player in the Asian music industry, bridging the gap between artists and fans in a way that few platforms can. The future looks promising for KKBOX as it continues to innovate and expand its influence in the world of music streaming.

Top 10 Best Practices for Web Accessibility

Ensuring web accessibility is essential to provide an inclusive online experience for all users, including those with disabilities. Here are the top 10 best practices for web accessibility:

1. Use Semantic HTML

Semantic HTML elements (like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>, <article>, and <section>) provide meaning and structure to web content. Screen readers and other assistive technologies rely on these elements to interpret and navigate a webpage accurately.

2. Provide Text Alternatives for Non-Text Content

Every image, video, and audio file should have an alternative text description (alt text) that describes the content or function. This ensures that users with visual impairments can understand the content through screen readers. For complex images like charts, provide detailed descriptions.

3. Ensure Keyboard Accessibility

All website functionalities should be accessible using only a keyboard. This includes navigating through links, form controls, and interactive elements like drop-down menus. Avoid using tabindex values greater than 0 to manage focus order naturally and predictably.

4. Create Accessible Forms

Forms should have clear labels associated with each input field. Use the <label> element with the for attribute to link labels to their corresponding input fields. Provide instructions and error messages that are easy to understand and accessible through screen readers.

5. Use ARIA Landmarks and Roles Wisely

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and landmarks can enhance accessibility by providing additional context to screen readers. Use roles like role="banner", role="navigation", role="main", and role="contentinfo" to define the structure of your web pages. However, use ARIA roles only when necessary and avoid overusing them, as they can become confusing.

6. Ensure Sufficient Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements should have sufficient contrast against their background to be readable by users with visual impairments, including color blindness. Use tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker to ensure your color choices meet the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio requirements.

7. Provide Clear and Consistent Navigation

Consistent navigation helps users understand the structure of your website and find what they need more easily. Use clear, descriptive link texts and provide multiple ways to navigate the site, such as a search function, sitemap, and breadcrumbs.

8. Use Descriptive Links

Avoid using vague link texts like "click here" or "read more." Instead, use descriptive link texts that convey the purpose or destination of the link. For example, "Read our accessibility guidelines" is more informative and useful for screen reader users.

9. Implement Responsive Design

Ensure your website is responsive and works well on a variety of devices and screen sizes. Responsive design enhances accessibility by providing a consistent experience for users who rely on different devices, including smartphones and tablets.

10. Conduct Regular Accessibility Testing

Regularly test your website for accessibility issues using automated tools and manual testing with assistive technologies. Automated tools like WAVE, Axe, and Lighthouse can identify common accessibility issues, but manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies is crucial to catch more nuanced issues.

Conclusion

By implementing these best practices, you can create a more inclusive and accessible web experience for all users. Prioritizing web accessibility not only helps you comply with legal standards but also enhances the usability and reach of your website. Remember, accessibility is an ongoing process that requires continuous attention and improvement.
