My family and I live in Singapore now, and we travel to Japan many times a year. It is ironic that the place that I called home, is the place that we visit the least now.

I am often asked if I miss anything back home in Malaysia. The answer is yes, of course. There are many many things that I miss. After all I have spent my entire life there. Seeing the @CNABringsMYHome campaign made home especially more nostalgic.

Like most people who are away from home, of course the thing that I miss most is my family. My mom lives in Seremban, the town that I grew up in, with Cheddie and Champon. Many people wonder where Champon is since we have moved to Singapore. He lives with my mom now. We had plans to bring him over to Singapore with us, but got postponed because of his health issue. We miss him dearly. read more

This is a cooking diary for myself. It is looooong cuz it’s a couple of months’ worth of meals haha. If you like you can browse through it and hope some of them give you some ideas on some simple cooking for kids and busy mama like yourself. (If you love the food but are not a mom or don’t like cooking then ask your husband/boyfriend cook for you lol).

I used to do #lunchforjunya but since now that he eats his lunch in school, it has turned into #breakfastforjunya instead.

I thought that since Junya’s school serves both breakfast and lunch, I could save some time (and snooze my alarm a few more times) in the morning to prep him for school. But it turned out to be quite the opposite. I have been waking up extra early to fix breakfast since the second day of his school life, and it was because of this: read more

Photo album for our trip to Gold Coast, Australia last month.

After one whole month of working without a single off day during CNY rush, the danna decided that he want to just chill the heck out at the beach for two whole weeks, so we traveled to his favorite surf spot – Gold Coast.

Junya has started liking the beach very much. Last month he told the danna, “papa, I want to go beach.” And immediately the danna’s eye lit up, and he went online to book last minute flight, that was how we all ended up in Bali suddenly. read more

2014 July: One Day As a Mom

2016 April: One Day As a Mom of 1.5

2016 June: One Day As a Mom of Two

Fast forward 9 months later, I have evolved lol.

Here’s an updated post on how things have changed, after having the second child for 9 months now.

I am now a full time, sort-of-still-keeping-a-blog mother, who rather (with no choice) spends her time picking up crushed egg bolo on the floor than to edit a nice picture for Instagram likes.

It also made me sort of crazy. One day I was just so exhausted with two screaming children while not feeling very well and with a million things to do, suddenly I saw glooms all over my head. And I thought, what a shitty job being a mother is. You don’t get paid a single cent, you don’t ever get holidays, sick also have to work, and nobody ever thanks you for wiping off a stained toilet… read more
