Have you ever noticed… some of the most common things around us are also the ones most people overlook? This is probably one of the most common birds we see almost everywhere in Singapore 😊 So common that most people probably won’t even stop to take a second look. And honestly… isn’t li

Didn’t manage to go for my bird photography session last wkend coz the weather turned bad 😅 But while clearing my SD card tonight, I came across this Blue-throated Bee Eater photo I took wk ago. This little fellow was busy flying around catching insects. Not just for themselves… sometime

Supposed to meet my photography kakis this morning for bird photography… but the sky was already very dark, so the session got cancelled 😅 Since I was already up, I decided to go for a short run instead. Halfway through, it started drizzling too. So I quickly ran back and managed to

Tonight was a simple birthday celebration for my mum 😊 She turns 85 this year 💛 And honestly… after the past one month, seeing her smile tonight already means alot to us. These few weeks haven’t been easy for her. Hospital visits, medical appointments, her surgery… and somehow,

“Starting over” feels very different once we reach a certain age. Especially when responsibilities, retirement, and family commitments are already part of life. I think many adults nowadays quietly carry this fear too… 💭 “What if one day my job suddenly changes?” 💭 “What if income become

Had a simple dinner tonight to “celebrate” Mother’s Day 😊 Nothing fancy. No big celebration. No expensive restaurant. No flowers. Just dinner together. And somehow… as I grow older, these simple moments feel more meaningful than before. Especially these few years, after going

This article really hit me. Not because I’m unemployed. But coz I understand the fear behind it. The fear of wondering… “If one day I lose my job… can I still find another one?” Nowadays, even with years of experience, people can still struggle to get hired. Sometimes overquali

Today is my son’s graduation day 🎓💛 And like many parents… I’m just feeling very proud watching him reach this milestone. Seeing him grow through the years, finding his own path, working hard, and finally graduating today even with Merit… really feels emotional as a parent. As I sat

Grabbed a coffee from McDonald’s in HCM… and I was surprised… they even have latte art 😆 Small thing… but quite nice. And it got me thinking… When it comes to spending, we actually don’t hesitate that much. Coffee, food, little things like this… we just pay and move on. But

Yesterday was supposed to be simple… Just a morning walk. A much needed breather after a heavy week. But the day started with a little “adventure”… TEL breakdown 😅 Boarded the 6:55am train, thinking I would reach early to surprise Janice. Then announcement came… train was further del

Looking out this morning… The sky is so calm. So peaceful. But sometimes… life inside doesn’t feel the same. Some things don’t go the way we hope. Some people don’t change the way we wish. And we’re left learning how to manage our own thoughts, our own emotions, our own expectatio

Just taking a moment this morning… These few days… things have been a little different. More time at the hospital. More things on the mind. And at the same time… little things still happening in the background. Things that don’t always go as expected. So even when I sit down like

Curiosity Cove… quite fitting for today 😆 Went for a walk with my coach & mentor. And somehow this word “curiosity” just stayed with me. Bcoz I realise… many people are actually curious. Curious about: 👉 doing something different 👉 trying something new 👉 building something on

Colourful… makes it look nicer right? If this was a normal cement staircase… honestly, I might not even look twice 😅 But coz it’s colourful, it draws u in. Makes u want to go closer… and even go up, even though u don’t know what’s up there. People can tell u… “the view up there is

After a long day… just needed a small reset 😊 Half a day at the hospital. Came home, continued with my design work. And somehow… felt like I just needed to step out for a bit. So I went for a haircut. Nothing big. Just something small to feel a little lighter. Sometimes life

12.98km… and only 1 short break 😳 Today’s walk: Harbourfront → Sentosa → Mount Faber → Telok Blangah 2nd time walking with them… and I suddenly realised something 🤔 We only had ONE short rest. ONE. So now the question is… 👉 they don’t dare to rest? 👉 or WE don’t dare to ask t

Started the day with this view 🌅 Missed last week’s birding, so was quite excited to go today. Woke up to this sunrise… really peaceful. Then headed out. Today no need walk, just wait at the shelter 😊 But wah… still humid, still hot… and mosquito also very hardworking 😡 While

Freedom… but also a bit more alone This photo feels a bit special to me. The 4 of them were colleagues back then. I was their freelance designer. Working with them, but not exactly part of the team. Over time, they became friends. And I’m thankful we still stay connected and can trave

Life doesn’t pause… even when we need it to Woke up to this view this morning. City already moving. People already starting their day. No matter what’s happening in our life, everything else still continues. Yesterday I was settling things for my mum after her discharge. Today I’m in

This week… another 2 classes cancelled. Earlier, I received a message that my class on 18/4 was cancelled. Yesterday, another message came in. 20/4 and 4/5 classes… also cancelled. Just like that. Recently, I realised my classes are getting lesser and lesser. Whole of February… I d
