I often get asked by curious friends and other parents what kind of schooling choice I have made for my kids – is it in Malaysia? Singapore? Japan? Is it a local government school? Private school? The Japanese school? International school? Home school?!?

“We don’t know yet,” I usually reply.

Conversations like this with other parents who has already had concrete life goals for their kids sometimes make me nervous because I am so totally un-tiger when it comes to momming, in fact I’m more like a hamster mom lol. read more

Ok guys.

I don’t even know how to sound like I’m not bragging (maybe just a little bit hahaha), but for the past few trips to Japan I was all flying on business class.😳

Here’s my seat:

Oh wrong photo that was the cockpit. Sorry about it. Sometimes I sit there too. HAHAHAHA damn annoying.

Wait wait wait.

Don’t close your browser and storm off in disgust yet… I’m really not the gross show-off you think I am. In fact today I will share with you how to fly business class affordably together with me!!! Got good things must share! Screw Air Asia’s slogan. I say, “Now everyone can fly business class!”. Cheesie say wan. Hahaha. read more

Many have asked me what I do with @cheesiepetits during my free time. Ideally I would love to bring them travel as much as possible to see the world and gain different experience, but since Junya started his new school now we are mostly limited to home activities and a walk at the park nearby.

If you have a printer at home, there are a few simple hacks you can use to let your child have lots of fun right at your own home, and at the same time help your child learn and explore their creativity, without having to buy a bunch of expensive toys or rely on screen time addiction. read more

It’s 2019! Here’s a little recount of events of my journey with Cheesiepetit of the entire year of 2018. I spent one whole day scrolling through the photos feeling all nostalgic. They have grown so much in just one year! (Take note of Junya and Sakura’s hair hahaha.) Also, can you believe it? I have over 50,000 photos and videos stored in my phone!!

This post is also about Cheesiepetit’s journey with MamyPoko, without which I wouldn’t have such a smooth-sailing year when it comes to all things diaper related, since we traveled almost every single month! read more

The theme for the second half of 2018 and continuing into 2019 for me, is “Love Myself”.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. I know it’s true. There were some really dark moments earlier this year that rendered me incapable of feeling any sort of joy. I felt unloved from the world and I wasn’t capable of giving any either. I knew I couldn’t let it consume my whole soul, and slowly I tried to climb my way out of it.

If you follow my journey for the past few months, you know I have been actively working again, traveling again, exploring new places, splurging on good food (sushi, sushi!!), and making effort to look beautiful again. I feel that my cup slowly gets filled up and I can start pouring again. 🙂 read more
