This morning, Dad, Mum and I left the house at 8am and headed to UTC Ipoh to settle our MyKad and driving licence matters. I needed to update the address on my MyKad, while Dad and Mum wanted to apply for the new-generation MyKad, which started to be issued in September 2026. The new MyKad…
Yesterday evening, Dad wanted to steam fish for dinner. But when he opened the freezer, he discovered that we had run out of fish. 😅 So, off we went to Chong Recipe chap fan instead. This is our favourite chap fan restaurant because there are more than 50 dishes to choose from daily! It’s air-conditioned,…
Lunch: Tapau chap fan from our favourite shop — braised chicken with black fungus, braised tofu, steamed fish and braised turnip. Only RM23. The three of us couldn’t even finish the chicken, so the leftovers went straight into the dinner menu. Why we ate so little? Coz at 83, dad doesn’t like eating meat anymore,…

There have been so many flowers that they keep falling onto the ground! So every morning, I have been plucking a big…

My childhood friend recommended this TCM centre to me after several of her family members reportedly experienced good results and improvement after consulting Dr Teow. Mum has tried almost everything for her chronic aches and…
I was supposed to bring Dad out for dinner on his birthday last week, but my daughters in KL had already ordered his favourite, the famous Ipoh Nasi Ganja, along with desserts from Yam Meet. So I treated him to dinner the next day instead. Our original plan was to go to Galanggal, a Mediterranean…
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,…
