I know we’re reaching the end of January, and I’ve been MIA for the longest time ever – I apologize for that. I may have procrastinated a lot or been uninspired, but here I am, back online, and I hope it’s not too late to wish every single one of you a Happy New Year 2023! Have you made your new year’s resolution yet? I’m not usually a fan of resolutions because I usually fall out even before Valentine’s Day. But I thought this year I’ll make an exception in the hope that by doing so, I’ll have a set of goals to help me improve further as a writer. So, I’ve gathered a list of goals I hope to c ..read more

And why I’ve not been blogging… I know it’s been a long, long time since I last posted. In the beginning, I was swamped – busy with my kids, school exams, piano competitions, extracurricular activities, finishing my book and getting it published, you name it. Then, when I did have some time, I was exhausted physically and mentally. In the beginning, I wanted to take just a month off, then it became two months, which eventually dragged on to eight months of not posting a single blog. Perhaps I got lost in the realm of writing and publishing and plausibly lost interest in blogging. It’s not like ..read more

Hello beautiful READERS! After all these months, I’m excited to announce the release of my first children’s book! It’s available now across all Amazon marketplaces in Paperback and Ebook version. Distribution for South East Asia and Asia are currently in the works and will be available soon! Have you or anyone you know, ever felt lonely or left-out? Not because of the misconception that they have poor social skills. But because of physical traits that you need to look a particular way to fit in a society. It doesn’t matter if they’re adults or children, we’re all guilty of it because we’re hum ..read more

Dear Beautiful Readers, In today’s WIP (Work In Progress), I would like to share with you another part of my writing journey. It was more of a dilemma in the beginning. But took a decision on a certain style and stuck to it. It’s a rather intricate question for authors when it comes to writing. How do you choose which version of English you’re going to write in? British or American? Or maybe Canadian. You would probably say, “Well, it depends on your audience. If you’re targeting the American market, then go with the American English.” Right. What happened to the world is my oyster? What if yo ..read more

Dear Beautiful Readers! It’s been way toooo long since my last post. How long has it been now? 3 months? Or more? Wow, time flies when you’re working on a project. A lot of things have happened over the past 3 months but I’m not going to bother you with the details. What I wanted to share with you is, sometimes life gives you inspiration and you don’t just sit on it. You take that and do something with it. I believe, life is too short to – just ponder. And if you need to take a pause to give way for other priorities, then that’s what you should do. For me, it’s always been my girls, my family ..read more

One of the things which reminds me of home is my mother, working her magic in the kitchen making delicious meals – from her famous ‘sambal ikan bilis‘, ‘kangkung belacan‘, ‘mee goreng‘, chicken in peanut sauce, ‘Pongteh‘ chicken, to her ‘kari Debal‘; just to name a few. Another one of her famous recipe, which made me always go for that extra serving, is her homemade creamy mushroom and chicken pie. I could remember when the pie was just out of the oven, piping hot, smelling so good, and since I couldn’t help myself to wait, I ended up burning my mouth. Or we would have them for the next meal o ..read more

It’s that time of year again, where we prepare our hearts for Christmas by observing Advent. It’s especially exciting for kids. Counting down the days towards Christmas Eve by unlocking a surprise everyday for 24 days. It wasn’t something I did back in Malaysia, doing a Christmas countdown with an Advent calendar. Well, I’m not sure it’s even a thing there. Please correct me if I’m wrong. But when I got here (Austria), and celebrated my first Christmas with a child, I realized how interesting the whole concept of Advent is. Just the look on my girls’ faces every morning when they open a bag, b ..read more

Since last year, I’ve started a birthday tradition for my kids. On the day of their birthday, they will receive a custom made T-shirt with their names and age on it. You know, something made for them, and ONLY for them, to make their birthday a little extra special. Yes, there are numerous websites selling personalized T-shirts, and they all look so pretty and professional. What’s more, to make my life easier I could just purchase them online. But here’s what happened to me – you’ve chosen your item, put it in the cart, click purchase, shows the exact total price, and that’s when the eye-balls ..read more
