Alycia received her very first salary today and she’s delighted! It’s a 4-figure amount and paid to her in cash. Though not a lot and considered below the minimum wage, it is still a lot to a 17-year old girl in her first temporary job right after SPM and without any experience. My sweet girl immediately passed me RM100 in the car when I fetched her back from work ?.
Alycia still thinks that this job is not suitable for her and she dreads going to work everyday. Though she’s now primarily doing brand promotion via social media, she still has to tutor two Primary 1 kids who are very weak in their studies, help to watch two toddlers (she says thank goodness the babies are cute ?!) and help other teachers supervise kids at the daycare. I can’t believe that she can come up with funny stories off the cuff to amuse those kids and put them to sleep! She’s a princess at home who has no interest in any house or kitchen work but still does them anyway cos everyone has to do them. She’s now on the lookout for another temporary job until she starts college in September 2021.

Whenever Cass is free, she’ll bring Haru down (in a shopping bag) when she does her evening exercise.I obviously can’t get enough of sunrise and I was greeted by a beautiful sky this morning! Today’s sunrise in beautiful shades of orange, yellow, blue and pink looked like an artist painted some koi fish swimming gracefully in a blue pond.
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛
