I have been having an issue receiving a TAC number required for EPF’s 2-factor authentication when trying to access my EPF account through both the phone app and the EPF website for the past few days. So today, I decided to go to the EPF office in Greentown to get it sorted. Dad, who had…
When my brothers are in Ipoh, one thing is almost guaranteed — we eat! 😂 With everyone home, we went on our little family food tour around Ipoh, revisiting some of our favourite restaurants and discovering a few new ones along the way. Sushi Zento is everyone’s top favourite for celebration dinners, so of course…
Yesterday, I joined my parents for dinner with our neighbours — people who have lived on the same street as us for more than 40 years. I’ve actually known some of them since I was just a 12-year-old girl, but funny enough, I had hardly ever spoken to them back then because we seldom crossed…
Mum and I go to the gym twice a week. Wednesday mornings are for our group strength training class, while Friday evenings are for Zumba. 💃🏻 On the days when we don’t go to the gym, I do dumbbell workouts at home using free YouTube tutorials. I just randomly search for workouts that look good,…
Mum recently baked this absolutely delicious flourless orange cake for me because she knows how much I love keto and low-carb cakes. ❤️ This is actually one of our family’s favourite cakes back in KL too. We used to get our flourless orange cake from Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village. My second daughter, Sherilyn, used to…
This morning, Mum and I attended our group strength training class for seniors after a 1.5-week hiatus. It has been 3.5 months since we started going to the gym, and I can definitely feel my strength & stamina improving tremendously. Today, after an hour of non-stop workout, I didn’t feel tired at all. I guess…
Another group strength training class at the gym for Mum and me today! 💪😊 I’m the youngest in the class because it’s specially designed for seniors aged 60 and above. Luckily, I’m allowed to join whenever there’s an available slot. Every class at the gym—morning or evening—is always packed to the brim. Today’s class was…
This evening, Mum and I attended our very first 6.30pm Zumba fitness class at the gym, led by our group strength fitness coach @ IFC Gym Ipoh. The moment the class started, my first thought was, “WOW… I can’t keep up!” 🤣 The music was fast, the choreography was even faster, and since I was…
Getting back into our routine after a short break felt so good today. Mum and I finally returned to our Seniors’ Strength Training class after almost two weeks away. We had visitors, and Mum wasn’t feeling well, so we had to press the pause button for a while. It felt wonderful to be back, moving…
Yesterday was a very eventful day for my parents and me. The day started as usual, with Mum and me attending our personal training session at the gym. It was our 20th and final session. I thoroughly enjoyed every workout, although “enjoy” doesn’t mean it was easy! Every session was physically demanding and often painful,…
Today is the 10th day of Chinese New Year, and was my scheduled yearly medical check-up and Pap smear. This year, instead of visiting my usual gynae in KL, I did it at Pantai Hospital Ipoh. After Googling for female health screening packages, I found that Pantai was offering one of the best deals. I…
CNY felt different this year — in the best way. For the first time in years, I’m celebrating the entire 2 weeks of CNY back in my hometown, and with that came something I didn’t realise I had been missing so deeply: family reunions. For so long, I missed gatherings with my dad’s siblings —…
With my younger brother back from KL and my eldest brother returning from Singapore, almost everyone is home for Chinese New Year. The last few days have been spent over long restaurant meals, laughter flowing as easily as the conversations. My brother’s 9-year-old twins (a boy and a girl) have made the house even livelier….
Yearly vaccination + deworming day for my brave little girl yesterday 🐱 She was so scared and trembling the whole time… that barking giant German Shepherd before her (having wound treatment) didn’t help at all. Home is her safe place — knocked out the second we got back. So proud of her 🤍 I’m also…
