And while I would never wish cancer on anyone, maybe it wasn’t all bad either (for me). Because going through it changed my perspective for the better on so many things. It made me realise how much of life I was missing while living on autopilot and staying in the status quo. Well, truth be t

Final Part (for now) Hair falling. An early delivery at 32 weeks. A confinement that looked nothing like what I imagined. Surgery during my birthday month. Rounds of treatment that felt never-ending. It wasn’t just physical. There were (many) moments I felt tired, overwhelmed… and honest

Some days it just feels like a lot. And honestly… it really is a lot of sh*t. Not just one thing but one after another. IMO, My whole life has been quite drama. Not gonna lie, it affects me too. Am I always ok? No, but I’m funny. But hey, I’m still trying to keep going. One day at a

Part 3 One of the hardest decisions not because there was no option but because nothing really felt certain. I remember asking to start after my daughter’s birthday. I just wanted that time (and more time) with her. The fear of her losing her mother at a young age made everything harder, espe

After the biopsy, I received an unexpected call from the hospital to rearrange the appointment. I kinda knew something was not right. It still feels so vivid. Cancer never truly leaves (even after remission)… and today feels a little heavier than usual after reading about a passing of a

One question I get quite often is how I found out about my cancer. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it at first and almost ignored it. This was how it started in 2021. I will share what happened next in part 2. P.S. If you’re new here, thank you for being here. I’m sharing more abo

Why do some of us keep talking about what we’ve been through? I used to think about this quite a bit and there were honestly (many) moments where I stopped myself from sharing more because I didn’t want people to think I was holding on to it or worse, that I was somehow using it. And I get it

This March school holidays, brought the kids to JB for a short trip and decided to book an Airbnb’s style apartment at Danga Bay instead of hotels near the usual KSL, Paradigm Mall, City Square etc. From our experience, here are a few things worth noting if you’re considering it with kids: •

Rebuilding at 39 Series Most of us know who baby Punch is by now. Punch was abandoned at birth and found comfort in a stuffed toy. People were moved and it’s not because it was cute. They reacted because it felt sad. Because even something that small knew to hold on to whatever comfort was av

No one warned me how hard the fourth trimester would be. I didn’t share much about it either. It just felt like mothers are not given enough time to ease into this role. Of course I wasn’t ready. I felt like I was drowning in emotions, expectations and even guilt. I was learning motherhood whi

When I was first diagnosed, that was the cry of my heart: “Why didn’t You heal me, God?” I prayed for instant healing, but it didn’t come the way I hoped. Instead, I found His presence in the waiting, in every treatment, every tear, and every small blessing and victory that kept me going.
