With the long weekend around the corner (Happy Malaysia Day, everyone!), we've been talking a lot about activities to fill up this extra holiday time. Other than travelling, some of us might be taking this opportunity to indulge in our hobbies. Whether it's dancing to K-pop music or collecting vintage toys, hobbies are more than just pastimes—they're passion projects. Tonight, we dive into the diverse world of our hobbies, how they developed, and whether, as adults, we've made enough time to invest in these personal passions.
