Sharing everyday moments and random musings
My 2025 summary 2025 has been a relatively simple year compared to 2024. Professionally, I missed my KPI due to a colleague’s ego issues, which resulted in the worst increment I’ve had in my few years here. I began to take things more easily after starting to see similarities between …
Hello, aging! I’m another year older! To be frank, I was quite depressed this Birthday. There’s something I’m not sharing in public, but there are others I will not be ashamed to “shame” myself for. In work life, I got a not-so-fantastic performance result (thanks to some bad planning and …
How was your weekend? I had a great time watching Home Kitchen (家囝成厨)! This Mandarin play, commissioned by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) and presented by Nine Years Theatre (NYT), is part of Cultural Extravaganza 2025. Warm, witty, and nostalgic, the production written and directed by Nelson Chia, runs …
DAY 3 @ Mid Valley We checked out of the hotel in the morning to maximise our time with minimal travelling. Since we were driving, we could leave our luggage in the car while exploring for the rest of the day. Our final stop? Mid Valley (again)! Antipodean Johor Kpo …
I’m glad there wasn’t an interesting (sunrise) view from our hotel—zero motivation to wake up early. I slept in till past 9am and slowly started my day. Haha~ DAY 2 @ Taman Mount Austin First time visiting Taman Mount Austin! Despite the name, there’s nothing mountain-like about it Restoran Loon …
It’s the March school holidays, and we decided to take a short, relaxing getaway to Johor Bahru (JB) for 3 days and 2 nights. We initially planned for a short trip, but since we were too slack to pack the itinerary with back-to-back activities, we just went with the flow …
I was trying to coax Kpo Kia to sleep as usual and told her, “Lift your head so I can move the blanket, else later your ear bleed again.” (I meant I might accidentally brush against her earring.) Then, I subconsciously added, “Maybe your ear always bleed ‘cos I just …
This Chinese New Year marks the Year of the Snake, with the lunar year beginning on 29 January 2025. We didn’t get to spring clean thoroughly due to our busy work schedule. Luckily, we usually don’t have relatives and friends visiting us, and since I had cut down on a …
My 2024 summary 2024 has been an eventful year, marked by challenges and milestones alike. I experienced H1N1 virus for the first time. On top of that, the health of the elderly in my family has been deteriorating with age, and even Kpo Kia Papa has been dealing with some …
Merry Christmas again~ Aging changes us. We’re less motivated to go out and more inclined to stay at home on Christmas Day. For non-Christians like us, beyond the festive celebrations (the “push factor” to gather with friends), it’s simply another public holiday. Still, I’m grateful for the break—it gives me …
