Today’s little kitchen project: sushi rice balls and onigiri. 🍙

And I learned something I didn’t know before — sushi rice and the rice used for onigiri aren’t quite the same in preparation.

Sushi rice is seasoned, while onigiri is generally made with plain Japanese short-grain rice and shaped into balls or triangles, often with a filling inside.

Simple things, but there’s always something new to learn!

And these would make such a practical option for kids’ lunch boxes — especially when you want something homemade but easy to eat.

From digital skills to kitchen experiments… I’m discovering that learning doesn’t really stop.

Yam cake has been a favourite of mine since I was young — especially with a plate of chee cheong fun!

Today, I decided to try making it myself after watching a YouTube recipe.

The funny part? I actually bought the yam last week and completely forgot about it. 😂

So today became the perfect excuse to rescue that yam before it went bad!

I’m always amazed at how many things we can learn these days just by being willing to try — whether it’s in the kitchen or learning something completely new.

One step, one experiment at a time.

Now… let's see how this homemade yam cake turns out! 😄

It’s my birthday today.

And my first thought is simply:

Thank God for another year.

I spent the day at home, but it was one of those simple days that reminded me that meaningful doesn't have to mean grand.

Popiah-making with family.
A steamboat meal.
Good conversations.
Lots of food.

And then a birthday cake from a friend to end the day.

Looking back at the past year, there have been plenty of unexpected turns. But perhaps that is what every new season teaches us — we don't have to have everything figured out before we take the next step.

Sometimes we simply need to be grateful for where we are, learn from where we've been, and trust God with where we're going.

That's something I'm carrying into this next chapter of my life.

Grateful for the past.
Present in today.
Hopeful for what's ahead.

Thank You, Lord.

Today’s little joy: homemade lemonade and wantan noodles.

Nothing fancy. Just some time in the kitchen, making something from scratch.

I think as we get older, we start appreciating these simple moments more.

Not every day needs to be productive.
Not every moment needs to be about work or achieving something.

Sometimes, it’s enough to slow down, cook something you enjoy and simply be present.

Life is made up of these little moments too.

What’s something simple that made you happy this week?

Today I braved the morning traffic for Mum's appointment at HKL.

One hour on the road for her echocardiogram.

Mum is 92.

A few months ago, she was admitted to hospital for a week because of very high blood pressure. Thankfully, she's doing better and still manages many things independently.

She still walks.
She still cooks.
She mostly eats simple, home-cooked food.

She's never been someone who exercises much, so I sometimes wonder what has helped her reach this age.

Perhaps it's genetics. Perhaps her simple lifestyle. Perhaps a combination of many things.

There's no formula for ageing well, of course.

But caring for an ageing parent does make you think differently about the future.

Healthcare appointments.
Medical expenses.
Time.
Family responsibilities.

And eventually, our own ageing journey too.

It's one of the reasons I believe preparing for the future isn't just about retirement.

It's also about having choices and financial breathing room when life changes.

We can't predict what the future will bring.

But we can start preparing while we still have the opportunity to do so.

For me, that's part of why I'm building another income option alongside everything else in life.

Not because I know exactly what the future holds.

But because I don't want to wait until I need an option before I start building one.

10 years later… finally together again.

One came from Kuching. Another from the USA.

Different careers. Different families. Different seasons of life.

But somehow, once we sat down together, it felt like no time had passed.

Good food, sea breeze, laughter and a little w**e to end the night.

Building a future matters.

But so does making time to enjoy the life we're building.

Because life is more than work.

It's the people, the memories and the moments we get to share along the way.

On the way to Penang for my university reunion after 10 years!

As I'm travelling to meet old friends, I'm reminded of something I've been thinking about more in recent years:

Life is so much more than work.

We spend decades building careers, earning a living and taking care of responsibilities.

But along the way, we also need to build a life we actually have time to enjoy.

Time for family.
Time for friendships.
Time to travel.
Time to pursue things we've put aside.
And eventually, time to enjoy the next chapter.

That's one of the reasons having another income option has become important to me.

Not just for money.

But for the choices that money and time can give us.

I'm still learning and building my online business, but my bigger goal has always been about creating more options for the future.

Today, I'm putting business aside for a while and enjoying something that money can't replace — good friends and old memories.

10 years later, and we're still laughing together.

Here's to making more memories, not just making a living.

Friday reflection.

I think getting older changes the questions we ask ourselves.

When I was younger, it was about climbing the career ladder, earning more, building a family and keeping everything moving.

Now, in my 50s, I find myself asking different questions.

Is this how I want to spend the next 10 or 20 years?

What happens when my children no longer need me in the same way?

How do I prepare for my own future while caring for the generation before me?

And perhaps most importantly...

What kind of life do I actually want to build from here?

I don't have all the answers.

But I do know that I don't want to simply wait for life to happen and then react to it.

I'm learning to be more intentional.

To keep learning.
To keep growing.
To create options.
And to make room for the things that matter.

Maybe that's what this season of life is teaching me:

It's never too late to rethink what's next.

What question have you been asking yourself lately?

24/09/2026

Over the recent years, I've been thinking more seriously about the future.

Not just retirement.

But rising living costs, healthcare, supporting ageing parents, our children's future, and what happens when our working years eventually come to an end.

For a long time, like many people, I was focused on doing my job, taking care of my family and getting through one year at a time.

But somewhere along the way, I started asking myself:

What if I could build another option while I still have the time and ability to learn?

That's one of the reasons I started my online business journey.

I didn't start because I had everything figured out.

I started because I didn't want to wait until I desperately needed another income source before doing something about it.

I'm still learning.
Still building.
Still figuring things out.

But I believe there's value in starting before you need it.

Because a Plan B isn't necessarily about leaving your job.

Sometimes, it's simply about creating another option.

If you've been thinking about building something on the side for your future, feel free to message me. I'm happy to share what I've been learning.

A clinic visit with my mum today got me thinking about something we don't always like to talk about.

The cost of living is rising.

Healthcare isn't getting cheaper.

And as we get older, our financial responsibilities don't necessarily disappear.

For many of us in our 40s and 50s, we're thinking about retirement while still supporting our children and caring for ageing parents.

That's one of the reasons I started building an online business.

Not because I expect overnight results.

Not because I want to get rich quickly.

And definitely not because I have everything figured out.

I started because I wanted to create another option while I still had the ability to learn and build.

I'm still learning.
Still building.
Still figuring things out.

But I'm glad I didn't wait until I absolutely needed another income source before I started exploring one.

Because sometimes a Plan B isn't about wanting more.

It's about having choices when life changes.

If you're also thinking about creating another income option for your future, you can message me and I'll share what I've been learning.
