Exploring new ways to help people and businesses get online.
Part of the job is to explore the many different ways that work

We've been in lockdown since...gosh, I don't know anymore. How long has it been? All I know is today is Monday because my messages and emails rudely woke me up and this only usually happens on a Monday when everyone's frantic to get things done.

We're hanging in there, in all honesty.

My older son is happy that his college assignments and tests are now conducted from the comfort of his tiny room.

My younger son has not been able to pop into the gym for his usual routine and is basically displaying signs of boredom that I wish I could help him with.

The good news is that:

  • His guitar skills is getting better
  • I think he's still sticking to learning Chinese (and maybe even Japanese) through online videos and classes
  • He's been helping me out during dinner time
  • My boys and I have been more collaborative in keeping the home clean and making dinner
  • They're absolute gems when it comes to doing the grocery runs
  • I'm getting back into the groove of a regulated working hour (I was under full employment before this) and I think I like it. 
  • More healthy, home-cooked food
  • I've acquired new skills, i.e. unclogging the sink all by myself! This is a big deal because I would have otherwise called the plumber without this lockdown
  • Saved money and time from all that traveling
I've also pumped some energy into working on my website:
The downside is that I've not been as disciplined about working out at home. I think I've gained ten thousand pounds since the lockdown. Thanks to me catching up with all those Netflix shows and Korean variety shows and dramas. 

During such dreary times, I think it's important to keep an upbeat attitude. This can be a bad thing, I know, because upbeat people tend to think very little about real-life problems. But at the moment, I've (I am sure you'll agree with this too) had my fair share of horrible news not just from the TV but also from all social media platforms and my Whatsapp. 

I've spent time writing my thoughts on my website and blogs with the latest update (apart from this one) being:
I am still learning the ropes of running a Medium publication but I've accepted articles from other Medium writers. The topic is of course none other than about digital marketing, social media management, life in a digital world, online advertising, and eCommerce. 

You know what? Keeping yourself in a positive state of mind is a survival instinct. 

In the meantime, here are some senseless updates from my Instagram. 



And in the meantime, my shortform thoughts are still on Twitter.

Not that you're interested in how my life is going or anything, I'm no celeb but if you're interested, you can get email updates from this blog (which is regularly updated) by subscribing to this blog at the top section.



Let's keep in touch with each other and help each other stay sane until this whole worldwide catastrophe is over.

Sending you lots of love,
XOXO,

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
