Turns out bad reception has one benefit. It forces me to stop scrolling and look around. 😂 The connection in Shenzhen has been testing my patience. Messages take forever to load, or dun load at all. 😤 Photos struggle to upload, so I gave up. Dun want to waste my data lah. Then guess

A 5-day trip has a departure date. My future doesn’t. That’s probably why we can spend days preparing for a short trip, yet keep saying “later” when it comes to the next 5 years. A trip feels near. The future still feels far away. But the future won’t build itself while I’m busy with

I can plan the route. But I cannot see everything waiting ahead. While clearing some old photos from my phone to make space for my coming trip 😛, I came across this photo from Korea last year. Looking at the path ahead of me in this photo reminded me of the trip I’ll be taking in two days.

In my 50s, my knees have become more high-maintenance than me. 😂 Few days ago, I went for a very slow walk and run. I wore my running shoes. My knees wore their full protection package. 🤣 Knee guard. K-tape. And they still had opinions. 😂 With my Hong Kong and Shenzhen hiking t

You won’t believe I’m still asking my mentor some of the questions I’ve had since Day 1. 😂 Thankfully, she hasn’t got fed up and flipped the table yet. Hahahahaha. Even with her busy schedule, especially during her daughter’s exam period, she still made time to meet me today. We spent the

Building a Plan B doesn’t mean giving up Plan A. It simply means giving yourself another option. I still design. I still teach. And very grateful to God that I can build my digital biz alongside the work I already enjoy. I’m not trying to replace everything or quit what I’m doing.

If you ask me about my digital biz, I won’t immediately ask you to join. I’ll probably ask what made you curious first. 😂 Maybe your income feels uncertain. Maybe you want more time with your family. Maybe you’re preparing for retirement. Or maybe you simply want more breathing room

I’ve spent years teaching others. But lately, I’ve been learning how to become a student again. Jobs, technology and the way people work are changing. I cannot control all of that. But I can choose whether I keep learning. Building my digital biz has pushed me to learn things outside

At this age, losing a job is more than losing an income. It could mean having to start your whole working life all over again. I came across this piece of news and honestly, it felt quite scary. Retrenchments in Singapore rose to 4,620 in Q2 2026, the highest level since Q4 2020. Job vacan

I still duno how everything will work out. But I’ve stopped expecting myself to have every answer. Tbh, I’m someone who thinks a lot. I want to understand the plan, know what will happen next and feel sure that I’m making the right decision. But life doesn’t always give us that kind of

#Throwback to a birthday meet-up that almost didn’t happen. ❤️ These two friends worked around my timing just to see me. During my birthday, many friends sent their wishes and wanted to meet up, but I turned them down. My mum was still in hospital then, so I wasn’t really in the mood to

Five days in the same classroom. Only during lunch on the LAST day did we realise we came from the same secondary school. 😂 Last month, he joined the class as a sit-in trainer while I was teaching. For the first four days, we only knew each other through work. Then during lunch on the f

Extra income would help most of us. But what would it change for YOU first? All four photos came straight from my own album. And tbh, I would choose ALL lah. 😂 I’m grateful to God for what I already have, but I’m also building towards more choices for my future. What about you? If

Does building a digital biz mean being online all day? Thankfully, no. 😂 I aim to set aside about 1–2 hours a day for my biz. So what do I actually do during those 1–2 hours? Most days, it comes down to three things: LEARN I attend online trainings and learn from mentors and biz p

Do we have to start from zero when building a biz? I dun think so. Well… I still design. I still teach. These are skills and experiences I’ve built over many years, and they don’t disappear just coz I’m exploring a different path. Building a digital biz isn’t about replacing the work

If building a biz meant chasing people to buy something, I probably wouldn’t have started. 😂 Coz selling has never been my strength. I’m more comfortable designing and teaching. When it comes to starting conversations abt biz, sometimes I still duno what to say. For a long time, I wondered

Ready to climb? Still waiting? By then, aren’t we already starting from behind? I was thinking abt this recently. When life is going okay, it’s very easy to tell ourselves… “Still got time lah.” Work is still coming in. Bills are still manageable. Life is still moving along.

Five months later, the flowers had something to show me. 🌸😂 I was still tiny in the photo. In April, my husband took the first photo. Today, he took another at the same spot. Same photographer. Same composition. Same tiny me. 😂 Only the flowers showed obvious progress—they blossome

I nearly gave up on this digital business. Today, I finally said it out loud. During our Zoom sharing, I spoke a little abt what I had gone through these past four months. As I started sharing about feeling tired, losing my momentum and wanting to give up, I got a little emotional. I of

Funny how our answer may change at different stages of life. A few yrs ago, I might have chosen differently. But at this stage of my life, mine is C — more flexibility. Not coz I want to stop working or do nothing. I still enjoy my design work, training and the things I’m building. I ju
