Low Carb Meals
I have cheat days over the weekends. But on weekdays, I try to stick to low-carb meals as best as I can. I love breads but because they’re high in carbs, I eat half a slice (if thick) or a slice (if thin) and spread it with nuts or seeds spread like peanut butter, almond…

A Fuss-Free Solution To Cleaning Shoes
I love hiking and jungle trekking as I’m an outdoorsy person who loves being surrounded by nature. Growing up, I used to do quite a bit of hiking, camping, and jungle trekking.

31 August 2022 – We Had An Unwelcomed Visitor
When we came back from our National Day lunch today, an unwelcomed visitor at the window gave everyone the creeps. Haru who has super bionic audition (despite being in a deep sleep), was the first to notice the bat on the mozzie net in the living room window. I am always in awe of Haru’s…
