Today officially marks the 10th year of this blog.
I really have never thought that i could keep this blog for one whole decade. You can build a whole new city in 10 years plus a few extra space ships.
If it dies today, i think it has served me awesomely and it has no regrets (yea i control the way it feels lolol).
So every year i would click the archive and re-read my older blogniversary posts. I read last year’s post and i realized one thing.
I have been so happy for a year.
I mean, what can be happier than realizing that you have been happy, and are just going to continue to be happier?
I can hardly recall in detail what has happened in this one-year time frame (got pregnant yes, gave birth yes, go back more to Japan yes), partly due to post pregnancy amnesia, but mainly it was because this one year consists of tiny fragments of small happiness and bliss here and there. And when you put them all together you have a bundle of joy HAHAHAHA. (Sorry can’t resists lol)
Yes blogging has changed so much and people hardly even comment nowadays, and admittedly and just a little bit guiltily, i also don’t blog as often as i would like to. Attend less events, go out with blogger friends less often, do less ads, having less drama (the best part lolol). But i like taking it easy.
A couple of weeks ago my friend Kenny (yes, Kenny Sia Kenny) texted me out of the blue (very very deep blue. Maybe something like 3 years worth of blueness wtf), and asked me to attend his wedding in Kuching (!!!!).
And it is today, on 9th September 2014 (because 久久一世 lolol). I told him hey! That’s the date of my 10 year blog anniversary! And then we went on being all sentimental, reminiscing those blogging years and then waxing lyrical about our new boring and drama-less lives. Like primary school mates liddat lol. We really need to catch up and fill each other in with 3 years worth of non-happenings.
Touché lol.
So yea, if i quit blogging, that probably means i have died of happiness or something wtf.
Anyway today is extra meaningful because today, i have blogged for full 10 years, and the person who is sort of responsible for the destiny of this blog is having the best day of his life, with his new wife. And we are both happy. Congrats and happy wedding to Kenny! (I can’t attend due to new mommy duties 🙁 )
And as usual, i would like to thank all 9 of you who are still reading here and who genuinely share my happiness and feel good about it.
Here’s a picture of my happy:
Lastly, the standard blogniversary questions every year!
1. When did you start becoming a reader of this blog?
2. Which is your favorite blog post(s)?
3. What would you like to see more this blog or anything you think can be improved?
Thanks again, this year.
I starter reading this blog on and off 2 years ago but really only started to religiously read all your posts this year.
My favourite posts are of course your vacation posts (gives u an excuse to go on vacation more lol)
I would like to see more personal posts maybe of thoughts/opinions
Thank you!! I have yet to finish blogging about my Weddingmoon XD
I start reading your blog since 3 years ago… and will not stop reading until the end
Thank you T_____T
I start reading your blog since 3 years ago… and will not stop reading until the end
I started reading your blog about 5 years ago. I remember that I found it out of the blue one day, and I immediately fell in love with it… Then I proceeded to read every single blog post that existed on this blog wtf.
I love reading anything you write, so you can write all kinds of stupid cheeses and I will still read it because I love reading your cheeses.
Please keep cheesing.
lolol you this one poisoned too cheesed already XD
I started reading your blog 2 years ago. My favorite are your posts about Japan (I wish I can go!) and your outfit coordinates. Can’t think of anything to change yet 🙂
Hope you get to go to Japan soon! 😀
^Just realised that cheesing sounds like chee sin, whoops. I meant, please keep writing. Ya. Ok. Bye.
lol yea i get it XD
Happy 10th Anniversary!
I’ve started reading your blog around the same time Kenny Sia’s blog got popular… 7-8 years ago? I enjoy coming here to read tremendously. Thank you for sharing your stories.
Thank you so much! That’s a long time 😀
Dear Cheesie,
Happy blog birthday! Haha happy 10yr anniversary! :’) I’m so glad for you and your happiness. Thank you for sharing bits of your like with us. I started reading your blog when I was a teenagers, so that was like six or seven years ago? Hahaha! You’ve been so entertaining. I can’t come up with puns the way you do. Ie you’re amazing! Haha And I love your cheat one blog posts, super entertaining. Your blog was a huge treasure trove of useful info when I went to japan this year in May, thank you for that!! And since you asked, ;D I would love to see more champon pictures! ^_^ hahaha love you cheesie!
Ok!!! Champon always bombs my picture on Instagram so he will appear lots there XD
I’ve started reading your blog since last year July or August. Basically I enjoy reading all of your blogposts ( some that I read over and over again just to kill time in a happy way XD ), but I super prefer the punny punny ones. So interesting 😛
I hope you’d write more about Junya. He’s so cute 🙂
Hahha most of the puns i made are accidental one. And accidents don’t happen all the time XD
But thank you!!!!
I started reading since 2008?or MDG’s days..how long has that been? It’s fun reading your blog and growing with you. I enjoy reading your posts on Japan, Junya and your coordinates. I do miss your updates (not just yours but audrey’s, xiaxue’s and suetli’s) but when you do update, I feel that I appreciate it more since it is less frequent. :p
I really would like to see more about your new life now with your little family.
That makes it 6 years then!!!!
Awww thank you and yes i guess i’d be blogging about family a lot! 🙂
Since it’s 10th Anni, lemme get out of lurking and comment to make this blog sound more ‘alive.’
I only got to know of your blog since 2-3 years ago but I didn’t visit regularly. Lately I got bored and decided to look back in time to how were you doing 6-9 years ago. It’s literally a online time-capsule! *sentiments!*
Thank you for your kindness XD
Yes! Sometimes i would go back to an old post and thought, man, how things have changed!!! In a very good way 😀
I started reading a couple of years ago but I cannot remember the year very sorry! ^ ^
My favourite post of yours was where you did a tutorial for Candy Doll products when they were released in your country! ^ – ^
I would like to see more posts about Junya teehee! ^ w ^
http://www.thedailydollyblog.com
There’s another Candy Doll tutorial coming up actually! Stay tuned hehhehe
Wow…10 years!
I don’t remember exactly when I first started following your blog, but I remember it was during a time when you were still a bit unglam-ish XD (Now chio until my eyes kenot open). You are still as hilarious as every though =D
Favorite blog posts… don’t have a specific one, but I can’t get enough of your hanami and champon (omg champon *cubit*) =D
Improvements…More Hanami? lol. But seriously I like how you’ve evolved as a blogger and its awesome to see how you’ve turned out , just continue to be yourself.
Unglamish LOLOL eh please i always thought i was quite glam hor HAHAHHAHA buay paiseh.
Oh if hanami and champon is what you like then you are in luck lol
And thank you really!!
I have being followed your blog since 5 years ago. The time when my bf came to Japan for study. So the favourite posts of course everything about JAPAN. Reading your blog made me feel that Japan is not that far from me and i made my 5th visit this round. Yes I am in Japan again where the continuous started on Aug ’13, Dec ’13, Mac ’14, and Aug ’14! (Partly because they dont need visa anymore) 😛
Would love to see more on fashion to wear in different season in Japan and anything about JAPAN:D
So happy to hear that!!! Ok that’s an easy one. Done. lol.
Hey and you are only missing out autumn! Like me! I haven’t seen koyo (maples) yet in Japan, would love to do that!
yeah! I left a full maple where it would be great to see all of them in yellow/ red in koen like 国営昭和記念公園 …
I actually have one question on how you learn and improve your japanese? I been learnt for years and still I failed my N3 🙁 perhaps you speak a lot with your danna even before marry….
1) Around beginning of 2010! New Zealand reader 🙂
2) All the travel / fashion posts and haul. Many many. Very happy for you when you announced pregnancy!
3) More personal things! Like "whats in my bag", makeup tutorials etc etc. I hate to say it but I'm a bit tired of cherry blossoms wtf. I KNOW. >___<
I will always support this blog!
Thank you hannah!! Uh oh. In my world Cherry Blossom blooms all year round so you gotta put up with that XD
Advice taken! Will do that 🙂
I started reading your blog after I started following you on Instagram. Probably close to two years ago.
My favorite blog posts are of outfit coordinates.
Thank you Amy!! There will be more of those!
Gosh, it must have been 5 years ago I think.. when I started reading your blog. You have always been so fun to read, even when you’re not at your happiest, you state your feelings and your opinions as what it is.
I will always be in love with your post about your love for Japan because I understand how you feel and screw everyone else who don’t relate because they don’t matter. My absolute favourite post.. was when you wrote about.. finding someone to fall in love with and it was the danna-san. ♥ I was so freaking happy for you because at one point, you sounded so cynical. :D:D:D
Just keep blogging the way you do Cheesie ♥ that’s who we are all in love with ♥
Actually some of the best posts written are when i was super emo and hated the whole world HAHAHA. I guess happiness makes you a boring person XD
Thank you so much for feeling happy for me. That means so much 🙂
The first post i read was you in the kitchen. Doing an ad for noodlesoup, can’t remember the brand. You had a very cute apron and the photo’s were very dreamy. I have never stopped reading since that moment. I don’t comment that often but I do check your blog daily.
Your life has changed so much through the years like mine. Falling in love, got married, being pregant and now being a mommy.
I love your fashion posts and ofcourse the baby related posts. I think there is nothing to improve. It’s your personal blog, I read because I like you as a person and your style of writing whether it is an ad or a personal post. Just be you! I wish you many many more blogging years!
YES omg the Mentaiko maggie goreng post lolol. Yes the Liz Lisa apron, i still have it XD
Congrats to you too! So amazing right? It really touches me so much to know that there are so many of you who went through life together with this blog. So thank you <3
I started reading this all the way in 2010 wow haha I LOVE ur sense of humor lol . N I have the same WA background as u yay I feel happy now hehe
WA background hahahha. Thank you <3
I became a loyal reader 1 year ago!
Please post more food posts! I absolutely love them. Especially all the yakiniku omg.
I can’t remember when I started becoming your reader, probably when I started reading blogs, which hmm 5 years ago?
I like everything lolol, especially posts related to Japan. Blog more about Japan and your baby boy.
Hope I can see you in person someday hehe
Thank you, and will do. Please do say hi when you see me 😀
I start reading your blog since 3 years ago… and will not stop reading until the end
My favourite blog posts is ALL your blog which related to Japan because I Love Japan ! Everytime when i read your blog which related to Japan i will be super excited and happy!!!
I would like to read more about your travel blog especially traveling to Japan
This is an easy one hahhaha. Thank you!

2) all of your cheat one™ posts (pls write them again hahaha)
3) more japan and bby junya :3
1. Dolly Wink changed my life XD
2. Okay. I don’t cheat as much as i use to nowadays XD But i try lol
3. OKEH!
I’ve been reading your blog since… I’m not sure when. Around the time I started leaving comments, if you keep stats like that 😛
The posts I like the most are the punny ones… the food a little less because I can’t eat them. Haha. But do keep posting!
I know you hehehhehe. SO yea i know it’s been a long time. Thank you for leaving a comment when everyone else stops to XD
HAHA but food post are one of the most pop so… bear with it XD
I started reading your blog maybe 2 years ago. I found you randomly on facebook while browsing my posts about Japan.Since then i became a loyal reader and i think i even managed to read all of your blog posts. You really inspired me to take my dreams about Japan seriously and not be afraid of them.I learned so much from you <3 Continue being happy as you are now is my only request 🙂
Fan from Serbia 🙂

Hey, I’ve been reading your blog for about 5 or 6 years I think – it was around a time where Xiaxue started mentioning you more and linked to your blog. 🙂
I really like your blog because of your humour and especially your food pictures – they are so good and sometimes inspire me to try new recipes.
As it is your personal blog you can do everything you like – but just keep the food posts coming 😉
Danielle from Europe 🙂
Ok you tell commenter WP above. XD
But yes, food posts are on!!!! 😀
hi it’s me again. it’s 10th anni, so i think it’s ok for me to be cheesy?
anyway, i had not been a more interested reader of cheeserland until i saw your recent post on Hello Confidence – I suddenly became more interested in you as a person, since you mentioned growth of your confidence over the years. It’s pretty amazing to see how different you are now from what you were like. Different, but not unpleasantly different. It’s actually also a little inspiring to see your life developing with the blog. TBH, i do feel a little sad with where I stand now, from where I had been 10 years ago. But reading and watching how you were, til where you are now – there is this little inspiration that one can eventually live his or her dream – even if not exactly, but still much closer to the dream – if we choose to be happy with what we have everyday and keep our spirits up. Most important of all, we have to remember to treat ourselves well, every now and then, even if we have not. Otherwise, we may never have enjoyed that little bit more of happiness in life.
I still don’t know you well, but I think it’s been a pleasure to know you and bits of your life experience through cheeserland – i haven’t seen you being rude, or extremely negative about happenings in life. I hope not! So, i think i’ll be around cheeserland for a while more! xoxo
Thanks for your comment! Yes it shocked me too how things have changed. I used to think that i would always be unhappy till the day i die. But yes things could change if you just tweak your mind frequency a little bit. So you are right! I wish all the best for you, and thanks so much for writing to me 🙂
Think I’ve been following your blog since 2007… wow, has it been that long? Don’t have a particular favourite post but I particularly enjoy your japan and food write-ups! Just waiting for my opportunity to go there. No need for “improvements”! As long as you keep blogging and give us little peeks of your life, baby junya’s growing up process, Japan travels… so that we can share and celebrate your joy! =)
Thank you so much! All of you are so kind T_T. Will do and i hope you get to visit Japan soon! <3
Congrats on the 10th year blog anniversary! I don’t know if you remember me la (the one with the romantic Japan ‘love’ story but didn’t end up anywhere with him). Seriously, I can’t remember when I started reading your blog. But I am pretty sure it is the same year you started it or the year after that! LOL. #feelsooldnow Wish we have met somewhere along these years though; I think we can chat about Japan from day till night!
Oops. Didn’t quite answer all your questions, but I think you wouldn’t mind, right?
– one-of-the-nine-readers
Of course i do la. And always will lol. You don’t remember but i remember!! Yes one of those early days 😀 And i’m sure we’ll cross path some day, maybe in Japan *hint hint* hahahaha
And thanks for being one of the nine. T____T
Wah! Haha. So touched you’ll remember. I remember enjoying your writings so much but I just didn’t dare to leave comments until much later. 😛
Japan, yeah! Already planned 3 trips there. 2 next year. Hahaha. My sis and my bf are crazy over Japan too and have booked me for trips. Anyway, I like anything you write so keep blogging (ok la, only when you have the time, ok).
I found out about u frm YouTube at first from yr hair tutorial video n den yr blog hehehehe. I love reading yr entries so much especially about japan n food lol Japanese food even better hahahaha. I wish u can continue blogging for a long long long time ☺️
Thank you Wei Wei!!!! I hope so tooo!
I started reading ur blog this year after seeing some of ur insta photos which are super pretty and unrealistic to me. I like every post of u and it seems like u truthfully intro the sponsored product to ur readers, not bcos of the ads. I would like to see more updates from u! 😉
Happy 10th Anniversary!! I guess I got to know about your blog when I just started working, I think about 7-8 years ago. I like the way you write as it’s not nonsensical nor it is bragging as we know you are very happy and contented right now, but it doesn’t feel like you are bragging about it, in fact I feel happy for you as you found your happiness. Probably because we are of the same age. Hehehe.. Anyway, keep on writing although it’s about baby Junya now because, reading your blog gives me a feel good feeling despite a hectic day at work. It’s like you know the Japanese love to drink a can of cold beer after a long day at work during summer, right? Well, that kind of feeling.. 😉 What posts I like? Definitely all about Japan! 😉
Hey you! I know you!!!
It makes me so happy to see all these familiar names popping up, it’s like having a reunion every year during this anniversary XD
And what a perfect analogy, the danna can SO RELATE to that lol. So my blog is Japanese beer right? HAHAH
Thank you again :)))))
Hahaha… am still amaze that you still remember me!!! yea, every yr is like a reunion. so true to that! Hahaha.. yes.. ur blog is like the japanese beer that completes the day! so keep on blogging to give that perfect ending to my everyday! :)))
Congratulations Cheesie! I’m happy for your happiness (if that makes sense haha!) I’ve read your blog for several years now, but never used to comment. Nowadays I’m like: why not! Hope you’ll continue blogging for another decade.
Hey Elise, yes i notice you comment quite a lot these days, maybe i don’t always reply, but i read all of them, and thank you so much <333
1. When did you start becoming a reader of this blog?
Sometimes back in Spring, when you were in Japan. However, I knew of you cause you did a collab with Tricia Gosingtian a couple of years back.
2. Which is your favorite blog post(s)?
I love your outfit posts, but I also like how informative your travel blogs are.
3. What would you like to see more this blog or anything you think can be improved?
You could try doing something interesting with Japanese. EG take a word and play around it with fashion / life / travel. Dunno, something like that 🙂
Happy anniversary!
Hi Laura! Ah… that’s creative. Thanks for the idea!! And thanks a lot! 😀
I started reading your blog…. 7 to 8 years ago! *gasps time passes so quickly!
I first read your blog when I when I was in my final year of high school! I remember reading your blog to “de-stress” whenever I needed a break from studying for SPM.
After SPM, I went to college and then overseas. I read your blog all through college and medical school! And I am still reading it now , as a young doctor!
Back in high school and college , I loved the punny posts best! There were my favourites! I love your wit and humour. And then when I went to aus to do uni, I loved reading your blog simply because you made me feel so much closer to home! You have no idea how you alleviated my home-sickness. I also loved reading about your make up and fashion posts then.
These days , I don’t follow you as much as I used to anymore 🙁 this is partly due to how crazily busy how life has become. However, I do stop by from time to time. I love how much you have changed from 2007.
You are an amazing blogger and you have never ceased to cheer me up all these years. Thank you so much, cheesie!! Xx
Love,
A loyal reader
Y U NO NAME!!
Congrats on being a doctor!! See! People who read my blog also can be doctor one ok!!!! *puts in resume* HAHAHA
Where are you based right now? Wanna know if i have or have not visited your city.
And THANK YOU. Hope next time you leave your name so i can remember 🙂
Congratulations!!
1. When did you start becoming a reader of this blog?
I’ve been reading your blog for about 6 years.
2. Which is your favorite blog post(s)?
I like it when you talk about life in your country, as I live far away in Brazil, I found it very interesting when I can have a glimpse of what life is like in different countries.
3. What would you like to see more this blog or anything you think can be improved?
I would like to see more baby posts, as I gave birth to a baby girl last month I’m really interested in the subject. But I also like when you do your fashion and food posts.
kisses from Brazil
Me too! I wish to travel more, and the danna actually wants to go to Brazil the most. A lot of his friends said that’s the most beautiful place they have been haha.
And congrats on your baby girl!!
I guess i should start my own blogversary too ~~ but I don’t blog nearly much as you do. n i wouldn’t want almost every post of mine to be blogversary…… lol
I think i remember your last blogversary post. can’t believe a year went by so fast. I am glad you live to be such a happy person with so many blessings.~ thinking back i think the first time I seem your post was like maybe almost 5 years ago? n then there was a gap n then somehow I became a loyal reader. My life is too busy now to remember so many things, but all I can say is that i’m your loyal reader! xo I like all your event post, japan post, fashion post, food post… Ok i might just name all your categories. haha. I guess the only improvement might be.. blog even more? I don’t know, but I guess I rather read meaningful posts then not. so yeah. love ur blog still. keep blogging till forever please.
xo
Hitomiblog
lol hey that’s not a bad idea you know! Blog on the same day every year XD
Yes i know you are because i always see you commenting. Sorry for not replying more often, do know that i appreciate all of them. Thank you so much 🙂
I can’t believe it but I’ve been reading your blog since 2006!! 8 years!
I enjoy reading your blog mostly for the travel aspects (and more recently the mommy aspects).
Hi Elle! Yes that’s a long long time!! Travel and mommy? Ok done. XD
Happy blogiversary! 10 years, wow. Time has really flown by o_O I’m so happy for you that you are so content with life! Hope this next year is as happy for you as the last one has been.
I think I say similar things every year, but here we go anyway:
1. Since the Stellars, so… yeah, a really long time.
2. I love your Japan posts best, because I need to live vicariously through your experiences ^_^;;
3. I’m excited to read more posts about your home life with Junya! My favourite post in the last month was your “one day as a mom” post. It was damn funny but also very sweet. I guess I identify quite strongly with things like this because we are the same age and similar life stage (no baby for me yet but it’s definitely on my mind, and you make it seem like an adventure that I’m looking forwards to going on).
Thank you for 10 wonderful years of blogging – here’s to many, many more. Lots of love to the whole family <3
Hayleyyyyyyyyyyyyy
*hugs*
I always wish i met you that time in Tokyo! But nvm there would be another time 😀
Nuuuuuuu i didn’t know you started THAT early o_O! Thank you for sticking around. It proves that i’m not that annoying hahahha. Thank you <3
I started reading your blog around 2 to 3 years ago i think hehe. However rarely comment anything sorry. Just a silent reader. Really enjoyed your blogs about your travel, your fashion and random life notes hehhe. Yeah and especially your puns lol. To me your blog is already good as it is. Update more often! 🙂 take care and congrats on the blogniversary

http://tenshichn.blogspot.com/2014/09/088-gangnam88-solaris-mont-kiara.html
Very happy to hear that!! And thanks for always commenting! I read all of them 🙂
I think I started reading around 3 or 4 years ago. I’ve always been a silent reader, but I thoroughly enjoy your blog.
My favourite blog posts from you are Yuriko’s cooking, your marriage proposals, and your travel blogs.
I enjoy all of your posts! I would like to see more makeup, or skincare ones cause your skin is impeccable… but just life posts are good as well!
Thank you for filling up my time and making it less bored. Also, thank you for all your fashion posts, and makeup posts. I’ve learned a lot.
Hi Nicole! lol my skin care is called filter XD
Thank you so much, that makes me so happy!!! And thank you for taking time to comment 🙂
1. I started reading your blog when I was about 15? Which is 6 years ago omg when I was still a high school student lol.
2. Especially loved all your CheatOne blog posts but tbh I just love all your blog posts in general because you’re so punny and I can never get tired of your jokes hahahaha!
3. Just keep doing what you’re doing as long as you’re happy. I’ve loved you as an online persona for so many years and tbh you’re the least dramatic and one of the friendliest bloggers ever. Stay happy and to many more years of happiness. To you and to this blog <3
So you are only 21 -_________-. Shoo shoo!
HAHAH NO LA! PLEASE STAY wtf.
I use to enjoy a bit of drama (lolol cheap thrills and maybe masocheese LOL) but yea having no drama makes me super boring but it always makes me so happy! 😀
Thank you so much <3
hi cheese, i know you through Xiaxue’s HK Disneyland blogpost. 😀 then i started to read your blog and found it very interesting and funny. lol
the blogpost which i love the most is ‘Foreveralone lvl 999’ because it’s very honest yet sad. but now that you are so happy and im also really happy for you 😀
More baby Junya photos ^^ and everything about your life 😀
Ooooh thank you!! Oh yes that post *ashamed*. Ya that time i was honestly quite sad and emo hhhahaha. Yes i’m glad everything turned out great. Thanks to you all <333
Hi Cheesie!
I started reading your blog around 5 years ago, I stumbled upon your blog accidentally and since then I’ve been reading every single one of your blog posts haha!
I love all your blog posts on Japan (and since you blog a lot about JP I think I love everything about your blog! :D)
I love the way you blog so honestly it’s like there isn’t a filter to things that you feel and write about. Your cold humour sometimes gets me cracking up haha all the puns and jokes.
There isn’t anything I would like you to change IMO because everything now is why I kept coming back to read your blog.
Happy 10th Anniversary to this blog!! 🙂
Hi Lynn!
Sure or not!!! Imma quiz you!!! HAHAHA
Actually got filter wan, if not maybe i went to jail already XD
And thank you so much <333
10 years… bloody h! Congratulations, it’s incredible that you’ve kept it up for so long – and made it a success! I started reading in 2010 I think – a year before you won the Nuffnang fashion blogger award ^-^ Fave post is the live squid eye one, by far XD
Also will you tell us how you prefer to be called? Cheesie? Ringo Tan? Four years and I stil don’t know :p
Hi Cheesie!
I love your blog! I started reading it probably this year and I always get super happy when you have a post! Because of your posts about Japan, I actually traveled there for three weeks this summer to a ton of places and I loved it! I even got my hair done at Number76 in Shibuya because you recommend them so often! Thanks for writing and I hope to continue reading! Congrats on 10 years! :3
Hi Lanssie! Really??? Please tell me more about it!! Where you go what you eat best memory etc lol.
Thank you for supporting!!!!! Who did your hair? Was it Dejima san 😀
Hello Cheesie, I started this blog like 5 years ago? 2009 when I was 15! This is actually the second time I comment. How time flies, from form 3, finish college and now I am in Singapore intern already, I never missed reading your blog. It will be once in a while like visiting an old friend again seeing how is she doing. Favourite post will be Japanese food post, never bored reading them and will search and read them again! I wish to see more about baby Junya! Of course we still love you hehe :* As long you still writing, I will be here reading it.
EXCUSE ME you a decade younger than me cannot simply say old friend… oh wait, i AM old. HAHAHHAHA
But ok la i get what you men, thank you so much <333
1: About 4-5 years ago, I think. Was in this "Omg, Swedish bloggers are so damn boring"-mode and kept googling for other interesting blogs, and found yours. I think I've continued to read thanks to all the lame puns. I love puns. 😀
2: I'd have to say all the blogs about Japan. I'm hoping to go there next year, but since I'm a student I don't have that much money, but will try to save up. Your posts about food to eat in Japan are awesome!
3: Maybe a bit more posts, but then again, you post quite often compared to other big bloggers. So nothing to stress about. 🙂 Oh, and I am so curious about how your husband looks. 😛

To be honest I don’t think much more could be improved, you certainly update your blog waaaaay more often than any of the other ones I follow, which is great- I don’t know how you find the time! I love all the pictures you post (Can’t go wrong with food, Japan and babies really, can you! 😉 and the ones about your life 🙂
Thanks for keeping it up, you are awesome!
Best wishes to you from the UK! xx
About 5 or more years now! I started reading your blog because I was really into nail arts and you had some awesome nail posts. haha. My favorite posts are ones with many pun-ny jokes. Keep up with more Japan posts, I actually planned my last Japan trip based on your blog!

I started reading around 2 years ago. Saw my friend posted a pic with you then I went and Google your name. Reading your blog sometimes makes me happy, your fashion is so up to date and especially when you started to blog about your pregnancy somehow I got very excited as if I’m feeling it too. Lol. Will continue to be your reader. Some more now got bbjunya.. Cute dai meeee… Sorry.. Cannot tahan cute stuffs.. Feel so geram I wanna squeeze it and hug it. Not to forget Champon/Chambomb too.

Cheeserland Thanks for the reply! 😀 Sweden is pretty nice, if you go to the right places (and which those are depends on what you want to see :P). Personally I'd like to go to northern Sweden and look at aurora borealis. So pretty!

I started reading your blog for around 2 to 3 years.

I love your post about Japan the most but I do like every thing else.
It’s always nice to read your blog, especially now. Shiawase feel overflow!

3. What would you like to see more this blog or anything you think can be improved?
Share with us more of your happiness! hahaha
Hope that you would keep on blogging~! x
Hu Myan!! Thank you so much! <333 Your comment made me so happy 😀
Hi Cheesie I started reading three years ago. I love the japanese food posts, baby junya posts, ootd, yup lol almost everything. How about Malaysian food posts?
I supposed most of my readers are Malaysian so they won’t be interested in Malaysian food, forgot i have lots of international readers too XD. I don’t eat out much in Malaysia but let’s see if i can find interesting ones!
congrats Cheesie! I have been reading your blog since you started! I have read all your posts and I have grown with you. You are clearly very happy and I wish you and your family continued happiness and growth. I hope to see more posts of you as a mother and wife on your blog, but I know it must be hard to keep up! Hime-mama I remember something like that from this blog before haha. Thank you for being the best, and sharing so much!
It’s gyaru mama HAHHAH. But it’s too much work for that lol so now i’m just a normal mama XD
Thank you so much :))) All the support all these years!! <333
Happy 10th anniversary 😀
Started reading your blog when I started my own blog in Form 4, that is about 6 years ago~ I think it was your hair tutorial on YouTube that brought me here…. Really loved your XXX Cheat One blogposts last time. These days it has become a routine to read your blog so I guess favourites would be your daily blog posts? 😛 How to improve….well…just continue doing what you're doing and continue being happy. God bless you and your family 😀
Cheers~
Happy 10th year anniversary! I’ve never posted a comment on your blog before, but I’ve been reading it religiously since Kenny Sia linked that post about you and a few other girls (kinda forgot the name of the group -dreamgirls?stellas?stars?). Probably 8-ish years ago?
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your life with all of us – your blog(and the internet) has kept me company when I first moved to NZ. I love reading your travel & beauty posts. Even the adverts which I find helpful when visiting Malaysia(no 76 really is an amazing salon). So thank you very much for still writing and sharing your important moments – you have the cutest baby ever btw!
As for improving, you already are working hard to improve your blog – and your photos & writing have improved a lot over the years- so keep up the good work & please don’t abandon your blog! =)
Thank you so much!!! And thanks for dropping a comment after so long 😀
Appreciate it really <333
Happy anniversary Chijiii!
So confused as to the first question! :s I think 2009? ^^; I also read things back so I don't quite know…
My fave post is ofc the Holland post I'm in cuz it makes me kinda famous 😛 and the Japan homestay and food posts<3
It would be awesome if you could make videos of you going around your fave places in your two home cities!
I started reading 2-3 yrs ago, found you via budget barbie somehow. Dunno fave blogpost but I still love that video of a japan/hong kong haul, which is the first I saw of your existance 🙂 I love to see fashion coordis and personal life stuff, in the future perhaps: your fave books, tv, movies, music etc, and maybe about life in Malaysia? I love Japan as much as the next cheeser, but I dont know anything about Malaysia. Finally, I'm haappy that you are happy! If only for selfish reasons, since tell myself that if you are 2 yrs my senior, I could be that happy as well 🙂
Lauraaaaaaaa! I wanna visit Holland again!! Or you can come to Malaysia 😀
Lauraaaaaaaa! I wanna visit Holland again!! Or you can come to Malaysia 😀
Really??? I don't even remember i was in Budget Barbie! XD And thank you so much :))
Haha yea i also missed my Cheat Ones XD. Thanks so much :)))
Will try to find interesting local food!!! 😀 thanks for suggestion 😀
Hello there! Never commented to you before but I think it’s time! haha
I started following you when you were almost at the middle of your pregnancy I think, I meet you thanks to your blogger friends as Xiaxue, Qiu, Audrey… I loved your Instagram pictures about Japan and sakuras!! So pretty! And next I found you very friendly and nice and I felt I wanted to read more, so I started reading your blog! In fact i don’t think you need to change anything of it, I like all of it, specially the outfits.
Kisses from Spain (so far away from where you live 😛 but I love Asia!) xo
Hi Cheesie!!
Happy anniversary to Cheeserland!!!
I dunno if I’m late but I only started becoming a reader of your blog and fan in 2011! You ALWAYS motivate me for a lot of different things through your blog posts! And your happiness is always infectious! For that, thank you! :))
Hope to see/read more of bbJunya and any happenings in your life! :))
<3

I can’t remember when i started reading your blog but i love the outfit coordinates. it helps a lot for people without fashion sense like me. Your Japan posts are interesting too. Keep up the good work 😀
1. When did you start becoming a reader of this blog?
Hmmm…Maybe…6 years ago?? When I started university! I don’t even know how I came upon your blog, honestly, but once I started reading I really loved your style and how down to earth you are. ^^ Also, puns. Your happiness is so much, that it can be felt through the computer screen! I wish you and your family many, many more years of ever-increasing happiness.
2. Which is your favorite blog post(s)?
Your posts about your travels! They are helpful and your photos are great (eyes bulged out at weddingmoon photos). Also I can live/eat vicariously through those posts (have only been to Japan once and am waiting to go again).
3. What would you like to see more this blog or anything you think can be improved?
Hm…Maybe posts about fashion cheats? Like what you do to make your makeup wear well, or what you do to make certain clothing more comfortable?
Congratulations on your 10 year blogging anniversary Cheesie!
I don’t remember exactly when i started reading your blog but I believe it was your first home stay in Japan. I remember being so envious of you because I saw you evolve from like first time Japan to frequent visitor. I also remember buying clothing to match your outfits haha (feel so stupid now XD). I’ve since seen boyfriends, events, Japan, being happy with your danna and now being happy with your little fighter, everything! Also found my own style now, no need to steal/copy anymore haha.
I love how you take us with you on your life journey & travels and I love your reviews on (beauty) products like the sharp products, the powder to make the oil solid and hada labo (i’ve been using it since u first recommended it like years ago). I do, however, think that my favourite posts are your food posts. I aaaaaalways get hungry and it always inspires me to travel (maybe i like food too much haha).
As for improvement, i’d like to see videos maybe… but most important is that you keep blogging from your heart. I think this is only my second comment in all these years btw, but just because i’m not saying anything doesn’t mean that I don’t support you! I hope to meet you one day ^^
I wish you and your family good fortune and happiness and i’m looking forward to your future posts.
