FollowNot 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…

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 —…

Bucket Lists

Today, one of my daughters messaged me to ask for my opinion about dyeing her hair pink — a full head of pink hair! 🩷 Of course, I supported her decision wholeheartedly, especially since she is paying for it herself with money from her part-time job. For the longest time, I have wanted to dye…

Haru’s Little Health Scare

My poor Haru has been unwell for the past few days. Yesterday, she vomited twice after eating, so I immediately called the vet and drove out to get her a strip of anti-vomiting pills. I had to brace myself to give her the pill. On my first attempt, it promptly dropped out of her mouth….
When Dad Says No to Fancy Food
Posted on
I was supposed to bring Dad out for dinner on his birthday last week, but my daughters in KL had already ordered his favourite, the famous Ipoh Nasi Ganja, along with desserts from Yam Meet. So I treated him to dinner the next day instead. Our original plan was to go to Galanggal, a Mediterranean…
From Cracked and Dirty Heels to Smooth, Pink Feet Again
Posted on
Many years ago, I had the ugliest and most severely cracked heels. I was an avid runner, never wore socks or indoor slippers at home, and loved wearing sandals whenever I went out. After years of caring for three babies, my feet were also constantly exposed to soap and water. Even though I was—and still…
Gross Discovery: 9 Baby Cockroaches Drowned in Mum’s Honey!
Posted on
Today, Mum discovered something really gross. There were 9 baby cockroaches drowned inside her bottle of honey! 🤮 What really perplexed us was: how on earth did those roaches get inside when the lid was screwed on tight? Well, maybe it wasn’t screwed 100% tightly, and those tiny roaches managed to crawl through the smallest…
