FollowToday was one of those quietly meaningful days — ordinary on the surface, but deeply grounding. I accompanied my parents to the bank to settle some Safe Deposit Box matters. No rush, no stress, just the three of us moving through errands at a gentle pace. After banking, we stopped by a furniture shop, browsing…
Four Days of Bliss: Coming Home to Be a Daughter Again
The past four days in Ipoh, staying with my parents, have been nothing short of bliss. The kind of bliss that makes you quietly wish time would slow down… or better yet, stop altogether. Part of me really wants to stay here forever and just be pampered by my parents. And who knows — maybe…

The drive back to Ipoh on 10 December 2025 felt… different this time.

For the…

When the Rain Doesn’t Stop: A Mother’s Worry Never Ends
As I’m typing this post, Sherilyn is still stuck in Seremban. She had travelled with her dance troupe this afternoon for a Chinese New Year dance shoot at a temple there.

Dressing the Family in Festive Holiday Clothes

It’s the perfect time for gatherings, lots of festive food, and lots of photos and videos. …

From Picture Books to Prizes — Cass’s Beautiful Journey as a Reader
Cass walked through the door today, looking as calm and collected as any normal school day. Then she casually said, “I won something in April this year and I only found out today,” and pulled out a trophy from her bag. My heart stopped for a moment. She told me — in the most nonchalant,…
