It is one of those moody nights again, where I'm checking in here to write a #moodpost. Can't believe it's already more than a month since we last talked. I've imagined a hundred, perhaps a thousand times on how we would eventually lost in touch, however this is not something I would expect - cold turkey. It was an ordinary day, and it only took a few lines to stop all the communication we had...
Also known as the toilet roll birthday 😂😂😂 This week, I managed to go back home for birthday with my family. Not expecting any celebrations cause it's still conditional movement control order (CMCO) afterall. Had a small warm celebration with my family, and of course mummy cooked a table full of my favourite food. Thank you daddy, mummy, gor and jie ❤ My adventurous bunch made dinner plans, and for the first time in 3...
On March 18th, 2020 our federal government dropped us the big blow. Movement control order (MCO) was put in place to the country - where our people had to adhere to a new set of rules in order to curb COVID-19, which was declared pandemic by WHO. This is a whole new experience to me as I never thought I would live to see a day where the whole wide world is against the same...
When I was younger, I imagined that 2020 is a year where cars will fly, domestic maids are replaced by AIs. There would be UFOs, and people might actually travel to the moon. That's what the teachers taught us to imagine when we were to write an essay on "Vision 2020". Nothing of the above turned out to be true, instead we were slapped by Covid-19 pandemic. A real tight slap in our faces and...
Au Revoir

I am really bad at farewells. Although I went through this for multiple times, yet I never learn how to detach. Knowing things are impermanent, I still cling onto things / people / moments that won't last. "The two hardest things to say in life is hello for the first time and goodbye for the last." - Moira Rogers. I remember the first day when you came into office, and back in my head I...
Yearly family vacation had us chose Eastern Europe this time. We couldn't afford the livelihood of free and easy trip for our elderly parents, hence going on a tour is a wise decision. This time we went with Golden Travel Tour (GTT) for they are well-known for Europe tours. In order to accommodate nephew's holiday schedule we chose to go during year-end, which means cold winter time! I've always loved travelling in colder climate but...

Just a week back from Vietnam, here I am on the go again. This time to Sabah, The Land of Borneo to visit long time friends and relatives, also as a short getaway to detoxify myself. Though there’s nothing too special about Sabah, I try to make each trip meaningful by doing something different / new. And this time around, I joined a leisure dive by myself. It wasn’t an easy decision as I’ve always...
