FUGŌ's Theme Song For 'Ejen Ali The Movie 2' – 'Some Other Day' – Is An Emotionally-Resonant Anthem
This track by Kuala Lumpur's indie trio FUGŌ is like a warm hug from a close friend – universally relatable and quietly powerful.
More Than Just A Movie Soundtrack
While it's the official soundtrack for Ejen Ali The Movie 2, 'Some Other Day' isn't your typical action flick anthem. Instead of fading into the background, it steps forward with emotional clarity, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and breathe amidst the movie's high-tech spy thrills.
The song carries a tender message about change, friendship, and resilience that resonates well beyond the screen.
FUGŌ's Heartfelt Sound
If FUGŌ is new to you, 'Some Other Day' is the perfect intro. Formed in 2019, the trio – Hakim Kamal (vocals and guitar), Kayrol Ami (bass), and Fai (keys) – have built their reputation in the local indie scene with heartfelt, mellow acoustic vibes and honest lyrics that feel like a personal conversation. Their sound blends gentle guitars with dreamy synth layers, creating a cinematic yet intimate atmosphere.
Compared to earlier tracks like 'Waiting' and 'As Long As We Stay,' this song focuses less on sonic experimentation and more on emotional clarity, holding space for quiet reflection and hope.
A Soothing Anthem For The Heart
Lines like 'Dan kita akan okay, and we will be alright' linger long after the song ends. It's a soft, reassuring reminder for anyone navigating tough seasons, but still clinging to hope. This makes the track not just a soundtrack piece, but a comforting anthem for listeners.
If you've been missing a friend or feeling low, 'Some Other Day' gently voices what you might struggle to say – it's like a musical hug: steady, sincere, and quietly uplifting. By balancing the film's adrenaline with emotional depth, the track also makes Ejen Ali The Movie 2 more accessible and meaningful to audiences of all ages.

Present to launch the occasion were Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, state tourism and creative economy committee chairman Wong Hon Wai and other state leaders. The "After Dusk" event will repeat on Aug 3 from 5pm onwards. The projection mapping, called "Terang" by Filamen, will continue on its own from 8pm to 11pm nightly until the festival's end. There is also "Between Departures", a mobile live music experience aboard a RapidPenang city bus featuring acoustic sets by 1 Drum and Sundal Malam Ensemble.

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural
Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel. Mui purchased the property in 1993 under a company name for HK$20mil (about RM10.86mil) then. The duplex unit, measuring 4,075sq ft, overlooks Ocean Park and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station. It also offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of Shouson Hill. Mui, known as the 'Asian Madonna', died in 2003 at the age of 40 after a long battle with cervical cancer.

(Video) YouTuber Tzuyang Reveals How Much She Makes From Mukbang Videos
If you've opened YouTube before, chances are you've come across mukbang videos, where the content creator consumes large quantities of food in one sitting. One of the biggest creators in the mukbang scene is South Korean YouTuber Tzuyang (쯔양), who currently boasts 12.2 million subscribers on the video-sharing platform. The YouTuber recently appeared on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star', where she shared more about her online career. During the show, the hosts expressed curiosity about Tzuyang's income, given her massive subscriber count and the average viewership for her videos. The content creator then candidly revealed her monthly income, saying she can earn more than KRW100 million (approximately RM306,340) per month. Tzuyang said, 'If you estimate my channel earnings at KRW100 million a month, there were times in the past when I made much more than that.' However, the YouTuber added that her salary fluctuates, meaning she could earn a lot less in other months. Additionally, Tzuyang notes that her actual profit isn't as much as one might expect because most of what she earns goes back to her channel and business. The social media personality said, 'The more that comes in, the more that goes out. I have a lot of employees, and I run a restaurant too, so the food costs are huge. The actual profits aren't as high as people might think.' In the same episode, Tzuyang shared her monthly food expenses, explaining that she spends a lot of money on food in her videos. The 28-year-old also revealed that she once spent KRW3 million (approximately RM9,190) on a single meal. While on the topic of YouTube income, one of the show's hosts, Kim Gura (김구라), also shared his online earnings from when he uploaded golfing videos. The emcee said he could earn around KRW30 million (approximately RM91,900) to KRW40 million (approximately RM122,530) per month. He also noted that his golfing videos have long runtimes but high retention, resulting in millions of views in total. It's also worth noting that Tzuyang has travelled to other countries to film her mukbang videos, showing the lengths she goes to for her YouTube channel. Given the production value of her videos, we'd say her earnings are reasonable. Check out her appearance on 'Radio Star' below: Source: YouTube
