I’m not good with sudden wake ups. Especially not at 2am. My sleep was bothersome, restless and unsettled. Thoughts of my elderly mum played on my mind. I felt like I was reliving the past four years of my sleep deprived life before my dad had passed on. Sometime in September 2015, my dad was […]
Peter’s Blessings
My dad passed peacefully just over a year ago. He was 93 years young. I haven’t written about my dad’s passing or mentioned it here on my blog. I guess sometimes things take time. Today I just want to share a very special part of my dad with you. In the process of sifting through […]

Why I am Quitting Social Media
I was toying with the idea of quitting social media. Noticing that I was spending my mornings waking up habitually checking and “liking: random pics and posts from friends, acquaintances and strangers. I grew up being a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) kind of kid and adult too. I’d stay up late and say yes […]

100 Years of Happy Living : 3 Simple Tips from a 102 year old
Earlier this year I attended a Chinese New Year event with my parents. Asian families (mostly Chinese speaking) from all over Perth who are involved with the Chung Wah Association were invited.
