This is the father figure I grew up with. I lived with my grandparents growing up, & I slept in the living room on the mattress with my ah gong, in our family of 8, which then grew to 9, and then 10. He loved to lie on our cold living room floor, sometimes on the mattress, & I would sit on his tummy and help him pluck his facial hair. 😂
He would drive out to the kopitiam to meet his friends, & I would ask to be brought along so I could go to the nearby playground. He let me have my first taste of kopi from the kopi dish, and introduced me to my now favourite food - popiah. My very first encounter with chilli was him asking me if I wanted chilli in my popiah. I did, & I became a chilli monster.
He brought me to my swimming classes while he sat at the swimming pool kopitiam to have his kopi, & he brought me to the void deck to learn cycling on the days when I was on training wheels. He also helped support me & run along my bicycle when he helped me remove the 2 side wheels as I progressed.
He walked me to school when I was in lower primary, & waited for me at the school gates when I was done with classes.
He would cook the best maggi mee for me in the middle of the night when fatty old me told him I was hungry. I've cooked my maggi mee that way ever since - dry, with 蛋花 & chilli mixed in.
As I grew up & moved out with my mum and sister, he'd visit our house often & helped himself to the clothes ironing (he was a champion clothes ironer). And he would always secretly clean my car at the carpark so I would always go out to a clean spotless car.
Each time we visit their house for dinner & left, he would stand by the window to wave goodbye, until we were out of sight.
Since having a stroke at the start of covid in 2020, he has been living with us. He hasn't been as mobile as he used to be, but each time I leave the house and he's awake, he would still come to the window to see me off. ❤️
He won't see this nor read this, but I just want to take father's day to share with you the man who has been so important in my growth, and in my life.
阿公， 你在我生命扮演的角色是如此重大 - 祝你父亲节快乐。
To all dads and father figures, here's wishing you Happy Father's Day! 🌱

Before: 60kg. After: 60kg. 🤷🏻♀️
What an improvement to body composition can do 😍
I've been guilty of weighing myself nonstop in the past. And as a woman brought up in Asian skinny culture, I've been a slave to the weighing machine too. Then I learnt the following:
Focus on improving body composition - maintain muscle so your basal metabolism doesn't drop even when you slim down. Maintaining a healthy metabolic rate helps prevent what we call a "rebound".
1kg of fat loss and 1kg of weight loss may not look the same for everyone - weight can also be poop, muscle, food, water and other things. When you lose excess body fat, it helps you fit better into clothes, and you are metabolically healthier to live a better quality of life.
You don't have to be skinny to be healthy. There are chubby people who are metabolically healthier than some skinny people. Many things come into play like mitochondrial health, gut health, brain health and hormonal health. All these affect quality of life.
Of course when you lose excess body fat, you're also more confident, and when you are more confident, you're happier and project less insecurities onto the people around you. You become much easier to love! ❤️
Exercise, diets, supplements - they all work. Most importantly, find what is most sustainable and enjoyable for you, and you'll be more likely to get to your results, and maintain them. For me, it was knowledge about all 3, and learning how to implement them.
Have taught this to thousands of my clients and many now have this knowledge and skillset. Link in the bio, or follow for more. 🌿
Honestly, this is a game changer. Forget what your nutritionist tells you. If he or she refers to the "food pyramid", do yourself a favour and run far far away. I found out the food pyramid was wrong to begin with, and there was too much profit interests involved when the food pyramid came out, that it caused us to be brought up to learn the wrong things😒 abt nutrition.
This is 6 weeks since starting on @justpruvit Keto OS Max and going on a not-damn-strict keto diet (because I love my sauces and the occasional indulgence 😁). Not any more exercise than I have always been doing. Eating out with friends and indulging in high fat foods. Heck, I could even do my wines and gin!
First and foremost, I really want to thank Keto OS for changing my life. Really. Had it not been for this ketone supplement, I wouldn't have embarked on this journey and learnt so much about food & nutrition than I have in the last few decades of my life. What started out as just an intention to lose my food baby turned out to be something more. Like learning that ketones are anti-inflammatory & anti-carcinogenic. Also, come on, have you guys seen the way I have been eating the last month?? (Click on my Keto journey highlight bubble at the top of my profile.) AND THIS IS THE RESULT? Wah lao, all these years of yong tau foo and fish porridge and "eating clean" and abstaining from fats, why siaaaaa???🤦♀️
.
Because this worked so well, I'm putting my name on it to recommend it to you. And I'm thankful that I'm being rewarded for it. 🙇♀️ Yes anyone can be a promoter for them, but I think the best promoter is someone who actually believes in the product, & I have my utmost faith in this. The best part is I'm learning more amazing things about this as I go! Like how some parents give it to their kids for mental focus - kinda like how our parents used to give us essence of chicken during exams; & how many athletes use this to improve performance; or how some new mummies use this to help with energy and post-natal depression. Fat loss is just one thing Keto OS helps with.
Thank you to those who trusted me and are seeing results. For the curious, link is in my bio. ❤️ Feel free to dm anytime.

No more pulling stuck hair out of brush rollers with the V800~ I had so much fun vacuuming my house fr, and I don’t have to feel guilty over the single use static hair mop wipe things anymore. Plus points for keeping everything neatly stored inside one dock. Brilliant!

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who sacrificed her youth to give me my life and what I have today~ ❤️
仪式感一定要有的，不管她怎么说不用特别庆祝 😘
Also we met some new friends and had a chat with this couple from Australia who met in Singapore, got married here and came to this original restaurant 53 years ago on their wedding night. They’re celebrating their 54th in July, and I just thought it was so beautiful that they’re here in Singapore @shashliksg again, while I brought my mum here for the first time.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums and mother figures out there too! Don’t forget to treat yourselves well. 💐
旁边的 commentary 是怎样. 👀
On a side note, should have used a rounder oyster for this video 🤪🦪
