My Niece Made Me So Happy Today
One of my nieces read my blog for the first time today. It feels momentous to me so I have to make a record of it here. To protect her privacy, I’m not mentioning her name. (Although they both have … Continue reading

Grateful for My Cousins
When I see my nieces with their cousins, it makes my heart swell. I want them to be close all their lives, like they are right now, and have beautiful memories like I do. My childhood was not easy due … Continue reading

Siem Reap March 2023: Day 1 Angkor National Museum
Thought it would be good to learn some history at the museum. Many of the artefacts from Angkor are preserved here. There is a locker up front where you are required to place your handbag with the guard if it’s … Continue reading

Siem Reap March 2023: Day 1 (Arriving at the Jaya House River Park Hotel)
We were picked up at the airport and driven in air-conditioned comfort to the hotel. In the minivan we were given cold jasmine scented towels and reusable aluminium bottles of iced water. We were already feeling pampered. The driver’s voice … Continue reading

Siem Reap March 2023: Day 1 (Landing at the Airport)
It was a bit of a bumpy landing, but of course always happy to land safe and sound. Kinda cool to find we were on the tarmac and walked to the rustic looking airport that’s modern clean and spacious inside. … Continue reading

Beautiful Singapore Morning

Some Days I Can & Other Days I Just Can’t
I can be pretty hard on myself. I think I’m too lax, but that’s what my partner and mum tell me. I am trying desperately to regain my fitness. It gets harder as you’re aging and I suppose even harder … Continue reading
Don’t Know How to Feel About This
I’m getting closer and closer to my father’s age, but he’ll never be any older than 61. It’s weird that if I stood next to him now, to strangers, at the very most he would look like an older brother … Continue reading
Must Read: First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung
I’ve never been so fully engaged in a book. The last one was perhaps Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. The parts of the book touching on the fear and pain of losing a father made me cry. I can’t recall … Continue reading
Plant Based: Who Knew it Could Be so Yummy
I had never heard of plant based calamari before and did not expect it to taste so good and be as chewy as squid. The ambience at Little Farms Bar and Grill at Serangoon Gardens is pretty nice especially after … Continue reading
