Here’s the recipe:1 cup water + 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar1 cup high protein flour1 cup wholemeal flour1 cup almond flour1 cup mixed seeds (walnut,…
For a newbie in creating videos, I have a small confession to make:I cringe at my own videos. I am a perfectionist by nature. I appreciate aesthetics. Clean lines. Good lighting. Beautiful compositions. Naturally, I admire the well-produced videos we see every day on TikTok and YouTube — the kind that are clear, bright, polished,…
My 79-year-old mum baked a Castella mocha cake just because I told her I was craving something soft, spongy and not cloy. No fancy equipment, no rush — just gentle hands, patience, and love. I filmed the process and shared it on YouTube. If you love grandma-style baking, simple living, and food made from the…
Starting 2026 the best way I know how — with my mum. Breakfast at the coffee shop, a DIY cupboard she ordered online and proudly assembled on her own, and her looking for a cake recipe just because I was craving cake. Love looks like this. She’s a supermum 💕 Check out my video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/_mMQeaR6190?feature=share…
On the last day of 2025, my new life in my hometown of Ipoh felt noticeably different from how it would have been if I were still living in Kuala Lumpur. There was no rush, no countdown plans, no packed schedule. Instead, the day unfolded quietly, anchored in simple routines and shared moments with my…
As 2025 draws to a close, I find myself sitting quietly, looking back at a year that felt like a full lifetime packed into twelve months. It was a year of milestones, tests of faith, emotional turbulence, and hard-won peace. A year that stretched me in ways I never expected — and yet, by God’s…
2025 Christmas Eve dinner was held at Hakka Yin Signature, Ipoh. Just my parents, younger brother and I. 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…

Table of Contents Embarking on the journey toward recovery is a remarkable achievement—one that involves more than simply overcoming challenges or breaking free from unhealthy patterns. A central piece of sustainable recovery is cultivating habits that promote overall wellness. By implementing a holistic approach and drawing on community resources, such as Foundations, people in recovery…
Today marks my 11th day back in Ipoh, and honestly, I wish I could stay here forever. There’s something deeply comforting about being home with my parents — the familiar rhythms, the unspoken understanding, and the quiet joy of simply being. Life here feels slower, softer, and more intentional. I wake up without rush, eat…
Today 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…
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…
Creators who film on the move quickly learn that raw talent is not always enough. Shaky footage, awkward framing and clumsy pans can ruin an otherwise great idea. That is where Hohem steps in, with gimbals and stabilisation tools built for phones, action cameras and compact rigs. The gear helps vlogs, travel clips, product demos…
The drive back to Ipoh on 10 December 2025 felt… different this time. Maybe it was because I went home without any of my daughters following me, maybe it was the familiar comfort of going home, or maybe—just maybe—it was because my little shadow, Haru, handled the entire journey like a seasoned traveller. For the…
We kicked off December with a double celebration that felt extra meaningful this year. With my MIL’s 80th birthday coming up on 9 December, all five of her children and their families flew back from overseas for the celebration. It’s the first time ever — in all these years — that the entire family is…
