FollowDad’s Kitchen, Dad’s Rules
Posted on
Dinner for 4, cooked entirely by Dad — solo operation, as usual. 😂 The kitchen is Dad’s territory, and he does NOT like anyone coming in to “help”. Apparently, too many cooks in his kitchen is a serious offence. So we know better than to interfere. Just stay out of the kitchen and wait for…

My 5 Little Rules for Better Sleep
Posted on
My nightly routine these days starts around 8pm. I pop one Magnesium Bisglycinate with diluted apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. 🍋 I started taking magnesium a few months ago because I’ve been dealing with chronic insomnia and hoped it would help me wind down and fall asleep more easily. Lately, I do feel that…

My Tea Of The Day
Posted on
TOTD – Dandelion roots + pandan leaves + jasmine flowers + dried lemon + black tea. I love teas with a naturally fragrant aroma, and luckily, our garden has plenty of edible plants and flowers for me to play around with. We have enough jasmine flowers for me to pluck a small handful every day…

Why Artistic T-Shirts Speak to a New Generation
Posted on
Younger generations, especially Gen Zs seem to gravitate towards clothes that feel like an extension of their identity. They are drawn to clothes that let them express their personality, such as artistic shirts and shirts with bold statements.

Not Everyone Wants to Dress Pretty — And That’s the Point
Posted on
When it comes to fashion, people often associate it with designs that are elegant, attractive, and smart looking. But there are people who go against the grain. These people are drawn to uncanny fashion, unconventional designs, strange illustrations, skeletons, witches, skulls, and other mystical imagery. For example, a magic shirt can appeal to someone because…
Reconnecting With Neighbors We’ve Known For Over 40 Years at Exquisite Seafood Restaurant Ipoh
Posted on
Yesterday, I joined my parents for dinner with our neighbours — people who have lived on the same street as us for more than 40 years. I’ve actually known some of them since I was just a 12-year-old girl, but funny enough, I had hardly ever spoken to them back then because we seldom crossed…
When Your Passion Becomes Your Style
Posted on
Many years ago when we were in school, when we labelled someone as a geek, it meant you’re someone who’s boring and unfashionable. But these days, being a geek can mean you’re very knowledgeable about a particular subject or hobby, which is something that’s positive. And there’s absolutely nothing degrading about that. In fact, a…
My 4-Day-a-Week Strength Training Routine

Mum and I go to the gym twice a week. Wednesday mornings are for our group strength training class, while Friday evenings are for Zumba. 💃🏻 On the days when we don’t go to the gym, I do dumbbell workouts at home using free YouTube tutorials. I just randomly search for workouts that look good,…
Flourless Orange Cake — My Favourite Low-Carb Treat!

Mum recently baked this absolutely delicious flourless orange cake for me because she knows how much I love keto and low-carb cakes. ❤️ This is actually one of our family’s favourite cakes back in KL too. We used to get our flourless orange cake from Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village. My second daughter, Sherilyn, used to…
Where Do I Buy All My Gym Outfits?
Posted on
Some of you have messaged me privately to ask where I bought my gym workout outfits. 😊 I don’t usually buy expensive workout clothes because I prefer affordable fast fashion and don’t expect to wear the same pieces for many years. So, I usually get my workout outfits from Lazada and SHEIN, and occasionally from…
From Holding Their Hands to Learning to Let Go
Posted on
I love how Google Photos pops up anniversary photos every day, reminding me of what happened a year ago… or even 15 years ago. I always feel a little sentimental looking through photos from years gone by, especially those of my daughters when they were younger. We have shared so many wonderful moments together —…
