Skimming price RM90? Better add on money to get a brand new set of front rotors. It's not worth skimming.

Water leaking into car cabin? Which part?

Bosch brake rotors are about RM150 ~ RM200 per front set. I see that the same seller (airline) also sells Bosch brake rotors for RM180 for the Persona. If muslayer is around, maybe you can contact him to get those Brembo rotors for RM140 only from his spare parts shop. I've done brake rotors skimming before for about RM70. Not really worth it as it solved the uneven surface of the rotors for a while only before it came back, plus it's thinner now.

For the leaking issue, have you checked the weather sheet for your doors? They need to be stuck onto the door well to prevent water from coming in. If they are, maybe the source is the clip's hole, which you can solve by pushing and sticking some book cover plastic or something around the hole that the door panel's clips goes through. I did that quite long ago and till this date I haven't detect any water leakage into the car, although it my be because the amount is smaller now and that they're being absorbed completely by the soundproofing material on the door's panel.

normally how long the disc rotor can last long? if i just change the brake pad only, anything will happen? example, the new brake pad will fast finished?

i use butyl windscreen sealant to seal it. i think i need to replace the weather sheet ady.. the original weather sheet should be got a lot oil and dust and make the butyl sealant not sticky anymore.

was thinking.. my colleague ask me to just change the brake pad. for the disc rotor, my car age just almost 3 years and its not the time to skim the disc. except the disc rotor surface not good.
