Our neighbour has an entire garden filled with pandan plants, growing right on the ground. The pandan leaves are almost like wild weeds — so green, thick and incredibly luscious! So whenever Dad needs pandan leaves for baking or cooking and our garden doesn’t have enough, he often asks our neighbour for some. A…
Japanese style clothing is the go-to choice if you are someone who prioritizes comfort and character in fashion with a touch of Japanese elements. Japanese-inspired fashion can be described as comfortable, colourful or minimalist designs, and one can see playful and quirky details that are eye-catching. You will see baggy t shirts and collared shirts…
How do you express your faith in God besides attending Sunday mass? You can read his words through the bible, attend cell group meetings and wear Christian clothing that reflects your love for God. You can integrate your faith and beliefs into your daily life through clothing and accessories, and simply being a good person,…
As I’ve entered my 50s, I find that I don’t really enjoy going out at night anymore. I’ve come to prefer a “boring” life that revolves around daytime activities. 😂 I’m usually in bed by 10.30pm, whether I can actually fall asleep or not. Sleep has been elusive for me for the past two years,…
Nursing is not for everyone. It’s a tough job and one that is built around caring for others during their vulnerable moments. It’s a noble job and deserves admiration. Some nurses enjoy wearing nurse shirts even when they are off duty. Nurse-related clothing is a simple way of displaying pride in what they do. Often,…
The other day, I spotted two new products in the chiller at 99 Speedmart — Dutch Lady x Tealive Signature Matcha and Dutch Lady x Tealive Signature Milk Tea. I picked up the Matcha flavour to try. It’s RM2.60 for a 250ml pack with a cap. My verdict? The matcha notes are nicely balanced with…
I have friends who are naturally fascinated by things that ‘regular people’ find frightening, creepy, or disturbing. While I and other friends avoided horror movies, ghost stories and morbid news, these brave-hearted friends eagerly watch documentaries about unexplained and horrific deaths or collect clothing inspired by the darker side of life. These people have a…
For a long time, society’s idea of what makes a woman attractive has had been rather unfair and biased. Society tends to have a misconception that bigger means being less attractive while skinny automatically means good looking, especially when it comes to women. The reality is beauty has never been determined by a number on…
Today, Dad surprised us by announcing that he wasn’t cooking dinner. Instead, we were going out to eat! 😄 Mum and I couldn’t have been happier because we really don’t want him cooking every single day. At 83, it’s tiring to be preparing meals almost daily, and he deserves a well-earned break too. And this…
Another group strength training class at the gym for Mum and me today! 💪😊 I’m the youngest in the class because it’s specially designed for seniors aged 60 and above. Luckily, I’m allowed to join whenever there’s an available slot. Every class at the gym—morning or evening—is always packed to the brim. Today’s class was…
Can you believe that Y2K fashion is still around in 2026? That’s a full 26 years after the turn of 2000. Fashion trend changes rapidly, yet some styles have a way of returning stronger than ever, such as the baby tees. These fitted, cropped tees were in the wardrobe of almost every girl in the…
I used to think that a gym membership is an unnecessary monthly expense but after signing up for one with my 80-year old mum a few months ago, we have now come to see it as one of the best investments we have made. Regular cardio and strength training help improve strength, promote stronger muscles,…
My Tea Of The Day is a beautiful blend of chrysanthemum buds, osmanthus flowers, blue pea flowers from our garden, red dates, and goji berries, all gently simmered in my new glass kettle. Dried flowers, herbs, red dates, and goji berries taste so much better when they’re briefly boiled rather than simply steeped in hot…
My breakfast today is mum’s microwaved low-carb cake, 2 half-boiled eggs, half an avocado, a handful of walnuts, groundnuts and almonds, plus some pressure-cooked chickpeas. It’s a wholesome low-carb, high-protein and high-fiber meal that keeps me full without snacking in between meals 💪 Mum’s low-carb mug cakes are my favorite. She makes it with coconut…
