Ok I have to admit. Going to the toy store is as much a treat for me as it is for the kids. Hehe. I keep looking at all the toys and going OMG OMG OMG. I mean, they have a mini cashier now guys, with credit cards and money and even the conveyor belt! […]

thank you, mr. cot
People keep asking us, So when’s Baby No 3 coming? And we would just shake our heads vigorously, almost shouting “Not anytime soon” unanimously. Of course, at the time people always ask, Dean is carrying Mariam wiping her snot and head to shoulder with a phone in between answering a call, while I am trying […]

you want get better not?
So post-Tokyo means swollen feet because I walked everywhere there. My feet are still pretty shocked from KLFW and the crazy high heels, so Tokyo straight after is well, let’s just say my feet hate me. I was supposed to rest my feet after Tokyo but it was Raya and all (btw, Happy Raya everybody!!!) […]

silver lining
I never told anyone this but a few years back, this happened to Dean and I. We were on a flight to Singapore, full of hope and excitement. We were about to pitch FashionValet to a Japanese VC there, our first international VC. We were confident, numbers looked good, spirits were high, we knew we […]

peace of mind
Wearing The Oops dUCk, Tavi checkered top and Aria pleated pants (both in several colours from XS to XXL) from FV BASICS and flats from NH by Nelissa Hilman. All from FashionValet online and in Bangsar and Singapore stores. So I’ve still been limping for a while. The doctor gave me anti-inflammatory medicine which helped but pain came back once my 5-day […]

my friends don’t do it
So today Daniel and I had a meal and I asked him to say Bismillah before eating. He usually would automatically, but today he didn’t. “I don’t want to say Bismillah, Mommy.” “Why not??” “Because in school, my friend Hayden doesn’t say Bismillah.” Uh-oh… the challenging part of motherhood has started for me i.e. influence from […]

just pausing for a second
I’m now perched on my balcony enjoying the breeze at the light of dawn. Haven’t even showered, still in my koyak pjs, and sent Dean off to the door as he’s off for another business trip (3 this week, I really miss him *cries*). Kids are sleeping and they just look so… well, they look terrible; […]

mariam and her mut
Mariam is 1 year and 8 months old, and she’s really blooming into character. She’s soft-spoken (when she says Mommy, it’s just so soft and beautiful I want to hear it over and over again just because!), she’s a drama queen (cries over the smallest things to get what she wants), she’s strong (if she […]

lost my voice
So high on drugs now, guys. Totally lost my voice due to a bad flu (swear I wasn’t singing in the shower) and now am on antibiotics, and 5 other meds that doc gave. The worst time for this to happen because yesterday I had to give a speech twice at the dUCk Alphabet Collection launch […]

post-voice rest
Wearing Alice white shirt from LANA KL and striped pants from Poplook, at FashionValet. Ah so happy to be back at work!! I’m still voice-less but at least I’m not headache-y anymore. Read your comments in my previous post, and I think that interview only took a snippet of what I said during the actual long […]

celebrating our 10 years together
We were at Hyde Park, so so so in love, even the pigeons were rolling their eyes. He rowed the boat while we went paddling softly in the lake and we made jokes and smiled thinking about us. 10 years later…. You row your own boat, dude. HAHAHAHA. We are officially 10 years old, me […]

our 10-year wall
It’s so much pressure to think of a 10-year anniversary present. I mean, what do you get a guy who you’ve been with for a decade?!! Shoes? A cupcake? Haha. I’m an open book so I make it reallllll easy for my loved ones to get me presents – I just tell them what I […]

dUCk alphabet collection
Everytime I pass a big showcase at the concourse of a mall, I think Wowww this must cost a bomb, followed by Mannn I want to have that someday, it would be a dream come true. And so one of my dreams came true this month because dUCk had a showcase of our latest collection […]

video interview
One of my favourite video interviews because it was short but encompasses a lot of things like motherhood, challenges at work, social media criticism, and others. Have a watch! Happy Friday everyone!

secure yourself
Sponsored Post That time when Daniel fell off the bed. Poor guy inherited Mommy’s unattractive sleeping habits… drool, mouth open, moves a lot.. hehe. But jokes aside, I think the thud I heard from the bedroom made my heart stop for a second, if that’s even possible. It’s so weird… I can’t hear my colleague […]

what is busy, mommy?
I was told that having a baby is fun. They lied because having a baby is not fun because they don’t do anything. It gets so much more fun when they start talking (then the fun stops once they start becoming a pre-teen and they’re no longer cute). Daniel is a hoot to be around […]

our first movie together
We bravely took the kids for a movie recently. Both the kids! This was Mariam’s first ever movie and Daniel’s second. We heard about the beanie bag cinema in One Utama from my silk so decided to try it out with them. It was so nice! All 4 of us on one big beanie cuddling […]

but it comes with a spoon
So I’m going into the big 3-0 in a couple of years and already getting many of those “Aiya you better make sure you take care of your skin ah later all sag down” comments from Aunties from the Wrinkles Haters club. Honestly, I do feel my body is a little sluggish now… is this […]
