I need to rant. I’ve been feeling it for a while now. A deep, bone-weary exhaustion that has nothing to do with how much sleep I get. It's the kind of tired that seeps into your soul and makes everything feel heavy.Recently, I found myself in a moment of quiet reflection, and to make sense of this...
It's not too late to wish everyone a heartfelt Salam Maulidur Rasul, is it? Another long weekend just flew by, and for us, it was mostly a 🏡 stay-at-home kind of affair and I basically lived in the kitchen and laundry room all weekend.The Weekend in a Nutshell (or, a Laundry Basket)Friday was a cooking...
What a long weekend! It was one of those rare ones that felt like a proper reset button. My house is clean, the fridge is full, and I’m pretty sure I spent every waking moment either in the kitchen or just hanging out with my four boys. The best part? Crawling into bed last night with fresh-from-the-dryer...
Well, salute to the school bus drivers and my babysitter who have to handle this daily, along with me and other parent, of course.I've been in a deep-dive Google spiral lately, all because of one this problem: my kids' body odor. Every day when they come home from school, the smell is so strong, it feels...
Last month, my shopping cart was overflowing, and this month wasn't much different. While the haul wasn't as massive, I definitely had a few moments of "impulse buying" mixed with a heavy dose of "I totally need this, right?"8.8 Shopping Spree Haul1.

Remember that time when you had little babies and the house 🏡 felt like a beautiful, chaotic seperti dilanggar garuda? My world 10+ years ago was a constant dance of juggling three tiny humans; Adam, Iman, and Fateh. Finding a moment of peace, or even just a few minutes of quiet, felt like ah~ heaven.My...
"Adoi, it's only Wednesday?" I muttered to myself this morning, a sentiment I'm sure many of you can relate to. The two-day weekend felt like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, even though we didn't do anything extraordinary.It was a classic weekend-in-the-life-of-a-mom. Saturday started with a heavenly...
After a pep talk sesh with my colleague and some deep reflection, I’ve realized I've been far too hard on myself. The past year has been a whirlwind of health challenges—stress, burnout, numbness, and brain fog. Last year alone, I had my gallbladder and kidney stones removed, followed by two weeks with...
Feels like just yesterday the kids had their exam sekolah agama, and then last week hari terbuka sekolah. The results weren't amazing (it's their first exam this year), but they were okay. And the teachers didn't have any complaints, which is a win in my book. Now, this week, 3 of my boys—Iman, Fateh, and...
Weekend? Apa tu weekend? The weekend hustle is REAL ya tuan-puan.Kadang-kadang ehsusah nakexplain what it's like to someone who hasn't walked in your shoes. Forget trying to explain it to others, even I look back 15 years ago, when I was young and single, and wonder why some makcik-makcik were...
Pagi-pagi lagi kami 4 beranak pergi ke UTC Pasir Gudang, seawal 8 pagi. Lin ada call them last week asking whether they are open on weekend or not. Customer service cakap hari Ahad ramai orang.Yelah, boring juga kalau ambil masa seharian just for doing this sebabdalam kepala ni sebenarnya still...
My dearest Adam Hariz,Sekejap sahaja masa berlalu kan? Today, July 5, 2025, marks 12 incredible years since you first burst into our lives, making me a Ibu for the very first time. It feels like just yesterday I was holding you, a tiny little bundle, 2.05kg after 36 weeks of pregnancy. 🤏🏻Kecil...
You know, people often ask me, "Suzlin, do you ever feel envy?" And honestly, my gut reaction is always a resounding Nope, not really. But then, my brain, being the overthinker it is, starts running through a mental highlight reel, and a tiny, mischievous voice whispers, "Well, tapiiiiiii tapiii —"And...
There's an influencer on IG, @waizeer, asking people in Singapore about how they'd split household bills with their partner in the future. And guess what? Most of the men said: 50-50.Euwww. Malunya dik. Honestly, are you even a man in the first place? It's like you're completely bringing down the dignity of...
My Chinese friend, let's call him Alex, wait no. Let's call him Ou Yang instead; who's got that nice, sun-kissed Malaysian tan, walks into the Chinese school office with his equally lovely, tanned wife. They're just there to check things out for their 6-year-old. Next year their baby boy will be in Darjah 1...
You know, ladies, sometimes life just gets insane, right? Like, you buy something with the best intentions, and it just… sits there. Collecting dust. That's been the story of these 12 boxes of brick flowers from Eco-Shop. I swear, I picked them up early last year. Can you even imagine? That’s how...
Okay, meh nak citer. You know those dishes that look dead easy but have a sneaky little learning curve tahap *KBKK?For us, that's been the glorious Crab Rangoon.(*KBKK stand for Kemahiran Berfikir Secara Kritis dan Kreatif).I first stumbled upon these little pockets of joy on reels...
Look, parenting is no walk in the park no how to-guide nor SOPs. There's always something new to tackle, right? And let's face it, talking to your boys about bullying and sexual harassment can feel… awkward. But guess what? It's crucial. Like, seriously crucial.We want to raise kind, confident boys who...
It's been a while since I last put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard!). Lately, I've just been in this routine, you know? Wake up around 6 am (sometimes, okay, later than that!), get ready for work and send the kids off. Then it's the same thing in reverse, back home around 6:30 pm. Rinse and repeat for...
Mesti ramai mak-mak 🤦🏻♀️ yang dah start pening kan fikir pasal kelengkapan sekolah anak-anak?🎒 Yelah, macam-macam nak kena beli, dari baju seragam, kasut, beg, alat tulis, buku... Adam, Iman dengan Fateh dah kena beli baju uniform lain sebab masing-masing tahun ini ada pegang jawatan...
