Chinese New Year is the time of the year where you'll meet long lost relatives. While it's a great time to catch up, it's also the time of the year for your loved ones to spring their undying curiousity about your good self.

While some of us enjoy the festivities and binge eating on the unlimited supply of pineapple tarts and bak kwa, the rest of us really detest Chinese New Year.

I've compiled my personal hate list of questions I hate to hear every Chinese New Year.

When I was a student

  • What are you studying ah?
  • How are your grades ah? Your cousin got A you know?
  • Hospitality is work as nurse ah?

When I was working

  • What are you working as?
  • Gaming industry? Gambling ah?
  • Social media? You surf Facebook all day ah girl?
  • I hear you post stuff online, some influuencer thing. What's that ah?
  • When getting married ah?

When I first got married

  • When wanna have kids ah?
  • Must faster have kids you know ah!

When I had my first kid

  • Planning to have a second kid?
  • Must try for a girl you know!

And now, with two kids.. especially one of each gender, I think hor, the nagging should stop. I doubt people would ask me to have a third? Hopefully not! But let's see!

What sort of irritating questions are you dreading this CNY? Do share!

As some of you guys may know, I took a year off working to spend some time with the kids. I have been toying with this idea with Aidan back then and finally decided to do so after after my maternity period with Davina.

There were many variables that played to my decision making, some being the lack of caregivers but the majority being the unbearable mom guilt. I had very nice colleagues back then with one of the best bosses ever however I was not motivated by the work. My role back then was evolving and it wasn't part of my expertise nor what I wanted to do in the long run. So after more than 4 years in the big agency, I decided to take a break.

That being said, I was kinda still "working". I was still hustling with my social media activities, going for events, writing ads etc. I also took up a freelance business development job for a friend which kinda cemented my interest in sales.

But overall, I was a SAHM 6 days a week. I will be sharing my experience transitioning from a FTWM to a SAHM.

As my personal motto for 2020, I intend to share more personal musings for the year. So be prepared for more of such posts!

I've been involved in quite a number of shoots and while I have been posting on Instagram, I have yet to share on my blog. For 2020, my mission is to update my blog regularly. I also aim to share more personal musings and separately, more photos of the fam.

Also easier for me to look back at these pics HAHAH.

Back in 2017 when Aidan was an only child (LOLS), I did an interview with Uniqlo. They organised a mini casual shoot for us to wear their apparels (which we returned hor! Not sponsored haha)

It was a simple casual shoot and from there, I really really enjoyed such shoots. Previously I had only done indoor studio shoots. After this shoot, I started to do more outdoor shoots after Davina was born.

Looking at the timestamp, it was in June 2017. Aidan was about 15 months old at that time. He looks so different now!


Thank you Duo Studio and Uniqlo for organising the shoot. Love that it was shot in my hood <3
