I had a mother who used to keep saying that she became a nobody when she retired. I saw how this belief reduced her to behaving like a nobody whose power and sense of self seem to be robbed from her even though she had to be so much more than her job. She was […]

I’m recalling a time when I used to attend a professional group gathering monthly. We were having pre-event food and were actually having a good chat when a new person joined us. He immediately asked, “How are things?” It wasn’t what he said. It was how he said it. None of us wanted to be […]

My dad and I have a system when we travel on public transport. When I take public transport with my dad, I would try to get onboard quickly to “chop” (get) a seat for him. He would be slower and his eyes would then scan the bus or train for me. I would gesture for […]

We finally got there after practicing as you suggested! And great timing too as we just got married. Probably […]

My mom used to go “fard” when she got mad. It took me a while… fard? Fart? Did she mean to swear as in fuck? I never corrected her. Instead of being alarmed or scared, I couldn’t take her seriously. I used to always laugh inside whenever she went “fard”! My mom’s first language isn’t […]

Woke up for second time at 4:15am for a 5:30am zoom client only for it to be cancelled again this morning. Client agreed to pay for it though. What they won’t know is that I only had two or three interrupted hours of sleep due to drinking too much tea, as well the loud CNY […]

Very grateful to have found and met her because she has been nothing but caring and patient with very useful advice. She came across as extremely experienced, knowledgeable and most importantly, passionate about her role. Always felt we […]
