Health Freak Mommy ~ The Joys And Throes Of Motherhood
My 82-year old dad has never learned cooking formally, but his fried meehoon always tastes like home 🤍.
Simple ingredients, familiar movements, and a lot of love in every step.
Watch how he makes it on my YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-A_Fx9nu31c?feature=share
Celebrating my soul cat’s 5th birthday with cake and roast chicken 🎂🐔
She came into my life in early January 2021, during the darkest days of Covid lockdown, when everyone at home was struggling. Saving her from the streets and adopting her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She doesn’t need to do much — her presence alone eases my sadness and brings a smile to my face. An angel in the shape of a cat, truly God-sent 🤍🐱 |

Evenings in my hometown are quiet and grounding.
This video captures my daily evening runs through a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by limestone hills and lush greenery. On some days, my 79-year-old mum joins me for a gentle walk — slow, steady, and full of presence.
Back home, Dad cooks a simple pot of porridge for dinner, and we end the day together. The video closes with Haru, my soul cat, happily climbing the stairs — slowly settling into her new home.
Nothing fancy. Just movement, family, nature, and a calm life I’m learning to love again.

Our Xmas Eve dinner was at Hakka Yin Signature.
Hakka Yin Signature is our family’s go-to restaurant for authentic Hakka cuisine. Being Hakka ourselves, we truly appreciate the flavours here — especially the abacus yam seeds, which are fragrant, well-seasoned, and you can really taste the yam in every bite.
The black vinegar pig’s trotters are rich and satisfying, while the braised duck with preserved black beans is packed with deep, savoury flavour. On our previous visit during CNY, we also tried the yellow wine chicken, which was excellent.
Prices are very reasonable, and the restaurant is almost always fully booked — so do make a reservation before you go!
