35 years in the design industry. Still getting bullied by software! 🤣 Recently, I decided to edit my new video using Adobe Premiere Pro. Had to use Premiere Pro during my Visual Comm course back then. Already struggling big time! And now… still struggling! 🤣 Wah… open the software and sudd

Nowadays, going marketing also quite scary leh! 🤣 Not because of what I’m buying. But because of what I’m paying! 😂 Look at these receipts from 3 separate grocery trips, all within just 11 days! $69.84 $124.99 $97.01 Total: $291.84! And these are just ordinary groceries. Noth

AI is supposed to make my work easier, right? RIGHT?! 🤣🤣 As a graphic designer, I’ve been exploring AI to create content for my digital biz. Sounds good in theory lah. But sometimes it REALLY tests my patience! 😂 I’ve even caught myself “scolding” AI when it ignores my instructions!

Behind every nice photo… there’s a scene nobody asked for! 🤣🤣 Went out for some “fresh air” with the ladies this morning. Though with the high PSI, not sure how fresh the air really was! 😂 Of coz, must take some photos lah! Tripod set up, phones out, checking angles, adjusting positions… a

While packing my teaching bag, I came across some handwritten cards from my learners. ❤️ Some were given quite a few years ago… and yes, I still keep them! 😂 Over the years, I’ve received little treats from learners during and at the end of their courses. Sometimes snacks, food or drinks.

Someone reached out to me looking for another source of income. But after chatting, I actually advised the person NOT to start the digital biz. Why? Since starting this journey, I’ve spoken to quite a number of people who are curious abt building another income. And I’ve heard all sorts

Back to teaching today after my short break. And of all days... I'm down with a cough. 😥 This morning I was already thinking... "Ok... how am I going to talk the whole day?" 😂 Then today's class turned out to be quite a challenging one. Different learners. Different

We almost didn't start this hike. The weather forecast was showing thunderstorms and honestly, it did shake our plan a little. Do we go? Do we wait? Or just forget abt the hike? Eventually, we decided to set off and see how it goes. And I'm so glad we did. The climb was tou

Spot the difference. 😂 Same place. Same four people. Just a few hours apart. We started the hike with sunshine and pretty decent weather. Then somewhere along the way, the sky decided we had enjoyed ourselves enough. 😂 Coming down was a completely different story. Heavy downpour. Com

Turns out bad reception has one benefit. It forces me to stop scrolling and look around. 😂 The connection in Shenzhen has been testing my patience. Messages take forever to load, or dun load at all. 😤 Photos struggle to upload, so I gave up. Dun want to waste my data lah. Then guess

A 5-day trip has a departure date. My future doesn’t. That’s probably why we can spend days preparing for a short trip, yet keep saying “later” when it comes to the next 5 years. A trip feels near. The future still feels far away. But the future won’t build itself while I’m busy with

I can plan the route. But I cannot see everything waiting ahead. While clearing some old photos from my phone to make space for my coming trip 😛, I came across this photo from Korea last year. Looking at the path ahead of me in this photo reminded me of the trip I’ll be taking in two days.

In my 50s, my knees have become more high-maintenance than me. 😂 Few days ago, I went for a very slow walk and run. I wore my running shoes. My knees wore their full protection package. 🤣 Knee guard. K-tape. And they still had opinions. 😂 With my Hong Kong and Shenzhen hiking t

You won’t believe I’m still asking my mentor some of the questions I’ve had since Day 1. 😂 Thankfully, she hasn’t got fed up and flipped the table yet. Hahahahaha. Even with her busy schedule, especially during her daughter’s exam period, she still made time to meet me today. We spent the

Building a Plan B doesn’t mean giving up Plan A. It simply means giving yourself another option. I still design. I still teach. And very grateful to God that I can build my digital biz alongside the work I already enjoy. I’m not trying to replace everything or quit what I’m doing.

If you ask me about my digital biz, I won’t immediately ask you to join. I’ll probably ask what made you curious first. 😂 Maybe your income feels uncertain. Maybe you want more time with your family. Maybe you’re preparing for retirement. Or maybe you simply want more breathing room

I’ve spent years teaching others. But lately, I’ve been learning how to become a student again. Jobs, technology and the way people work are changing. I cannot control all of that. But I can choose whether I keep learning. Building my digital biz has pushed me to learn things outside

At this age, losing a job is more than losing an income. It could mean having to start your whole working life all over again. I came across this piece of news and honestly, it felt quite scary. Retrenchments in Singapore rose to 4,620 in Q2 2026, the highest level since Q4 2020. Job vacan

I still duno how everything will work out. But I’ve stopped expecting myself to have every answer. Tbh, I’m someone who thinks a lot. I want to understand the plan, know what will happen next and feel sure that I’m making the right decision. But life doesn’t always give us that kind of

#Throwback to a birthday meet-up that almost didn’t happen. ❤️ These two friends worked around my timing just to see me. During my birthday, many friends sent their wishes and wanted to meet up, but I turned them down. My mum was still in hospital then, so I wasn’t really in the mood to
