A rare full house. From high school to hiking adventures, it sure is an honour to have you girls to be a constant in this crazy thing called life.

Imperfect but intentional.

During this Kuching trip, someone reminded us to enjoy life. 'Think of the three most important people to you,' he said, 'Now most people wouldn't even think of themselves, but that is the most important one'.

Time may seem slow when you are younger, but it goes by faster and faster. So when you can, in the cracks of your busy day, week or year, find time to enjoy life.

I think I'll try defying gravity.

Chinese New Year 2025. Behind all the fancy fireworks, mah jong tiles, ang pow packets, feasts and festivities, is a time for family and new beginnings.

En route from Pasir Mas, Kelantan to Ipoh, Perak. Stopped by the quaint and quiet Gerik town in Pahang. Had 'exploding noodles' (deep fried wan tan mee with wat dan hor sauce) for breakfast at a morning market. Admired old buildings. Spotted flood markers on the street.

Long-awaited catch-up over lei cha.

Tumpak Sewu is an impressive waterfall embraced by lush greenery and set against the backdrop of Mount Semeru in East Java, Indonesia.

Hiking down the canyon is not too difficult but it can be steep and slippery, as you need to climb over sections with streams. You need to wear good shoes or rent their 'kampung Adidas' (which I did). The cascades were so breathtaking, I felt like we had wandered into a hidden paradise. It was pure magic.

It is a great photography spot and you will definitely get wet. There are also waterfall spots nearby where you can kick back and relax.

Survived a hike up to the peak and down the dark crater of Kawah Ijen. We departed from our hotel at 11pm so that we can start the climb at a god forsaken hour of 2am. The roads were long and steep, so dark that it had to be illuminated by a headlamp. I thought I would not make it to the blue fire, but the guide told me I had more than enough time. As we got to the bottom, the stench of sulphur forced us to wear our masks.

As exhausting as it was, the blue fire was simply out of this world. As the sky brightened, the cerulean blue lake appeared, framed by white crags that do not seem so treacherous in the daylight. Every now and then, waves of sulphur swept across the land, which made it hard to breathe. I felt like I was in another world.

Overall, it was tougher than I thought. Really needed a lot of willpower. But not as tough as Mount Kinabalu. I am just proud that despite the very tempting offers to travel with their wheelbarrow porter service (the locals call it Lamborghini), I made it with at least half my wits intact. Definitely recommend if you are prepared for your spirit to leave the planet and back again.
