Tried it on the latest version of Odin. Not successful as well.

I am gonna try out the rest that you suggested!

Follow THIS on how to install the twrp image file without Odin.

Once you successfully rooted and install the TWRP - PLEASEEEEE make a nandroid backup via TWRP and EFS backup using Samsung Tools(search in xda)
Good night - I'm not feeling well - terrible cough during this Ramadhan is painful to me.

Try not to tick reboot/reset(not sure what the option name) and try it again. After that reboot/enter the recovery manually.
And make sure u root first. Check if your device is rooted properly with any root checker from playstore

Thank you guys @normek @surefire v LED @buukarim, I guess i've finally flashed the rom.

So not used to the new interface! Is it normal for the batter to drain from 38% at 2.30am to 3% at 7.30am?

Not normal. Check wakelock first.

orz, wifi not working, and all the apps i dl-ed last night vanished without a trace....

So i went to recovery mode, trying to wipe the data off and thinking of reinstalling the rom. While in the process of wiping data, it reboots halfway, the last message i saw was something like failed to wipe "data/misc"

it keeps on restarts and stuck on the boot page....

Sounds like your there's prob with your internal. You might want to consider changing device. It is getting old

Which rom you're using now?

Preparing to change phone in case anything failed. I flashed the rom again, hopefully it can sustain this time. Hmm...

Using Blisspop v3.2 5.1.1

Ok - not bad.

I am wondering if were to update a new version of rom, does that mean that you have to reinstall all the apps again after flashing the new rom?

yep,and im using titanium backup to restore apps

oh, I just went dl this app. Gonna backup those apps, just in case i had to flash a rom again.

nandroid backup is a must
