So, my three girls took the 3am flight to Taiwan early this morning.✈️ They’re now in Kaohsiung, although Typhoon Champi means their sightseeing plans may be a little limited. But at least they’re in good hands, travelling with their dad’s side of the family. I’m sure they’re having the time of their lives, especially my…
Today, I accompanied Mum to consult an orthopaedic and spine surgeon at Fatimah Hospital. Mum has been going to this private hospital for decades and feels right at home here. The chronic pain in her spine, legs and buttocks has not improved despite countless treatments, from physiotherapy and acupuncture to TCM medication, using a TENS…
Have been feeling a little emotionally heavy these past few days. There have been quite a few things on my mind — worries about my daughters and the choices they make in life, relationship issues with people close to me and even those who have grown distant, Mum’s chronic health issues, and many other things….
During the 10.10 Sale, I restocked my Lakanto! 😍 As I’m on a low-carb diet and trying to cut down on refined carbohydrates, including white sugar and white flour, I try to minimise my sugar intake and avoid sweeteners that may cause blood sugar spikes. My fasting blood glucose has consistently been below 5 mmol/L,…
Do you have Fixed Deposits (FDs) with banks? If you do, do you keep track of their maturity dates, check the interest rates offered upon renewal, and compare them with what other banks are offering? A few years ago, Mum told me that she and her friends regularly monitor their FD maturity dates and move…
The worst haze I’ve ever experienced was in October 2015. It was so bad that even from the 5th floor of our condo, we couldn’t see the Twin Towers or any other buildings in the distance. Our air purifier stayed on red throughout the day for weeks! On one particularly frightening day, the entire sky…
Two of my most recent favourite online sale hauls are dried peppermint leaves and Longjing green tea leaves! 🍃 I’ve ditched tea bags for a few years now because of concerns about micro and nanoplastics. I used to cut open tea bags and pour the tea contents into my cup to brew, rather than steeping…
Health experts often recommend aiming for 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy and support longevity. I clock up at least 10K steps most days since I got my first smart watch (a Fitbit) 8 years ago. Not too shabby for a soon-to-be 54-year-old auntie, eh? 😆💪🏻 But lately, the haze has been so bad…

This morning, Dad, Mum and I left the house at 8am and headed to UTC Ipoh to settle our MyKad and driving licence matters. I needed to update the address on my MyKad, while Dad and Mum wanted to apply for the new-generation MyKad, which started to be issued in September 2026. The new MyKad…
More of my 10/10 Sale haul has arrived! One of my favourite purchases from this haul is this pretty lilac mesh Zumba skort. The material is ultra-soft, and I love how comfortable it is! The inner shorts don’t dig into my down under like some shorts do, and the waistband is super comfy too. No…
Yesterday evening, Dad wanted to steam fish for dinner. But when he opened the freezer, he discovered that we had run out of fish. 😅 So, off we went to Chong Recipe chap fan instead. This is our favourite chap fan restaurant because there are more than 50 dishes to choose from daily! It’s air-conditioned,…
Another parcel from the 10/10 Sale trickled in today. Yayyy! So happy! This time, it’s my new gym wear from Shopee — a pleated skort in violet and a cross-back spaghetti-strap top with an attached bra. I absolutely love the beautiful contrast between the colours! I love bright colours. My life is pretty dull as…
