Thriving in Old Age: Simple Care Strategies

When we were kids, it wasn’t easy for our parents to watch us grow up and transition into independent adults. Now watching our parents grow older is never easy too, especially when memory begins to fade. Over the past few years, particularly since the COVID period, I started noticing small changes in my mum as time goes by. At first, it was forgetfulness. Then it began to hit hard with repetition, confusion, and moments that felt unfamiliar. Brought them out to the mall for a walk. What makes it harder is that my dad is her primary caregiver (when his own health is no better) , managing almost everything at home while the rest of us live separately. Like many families, we’re learning as we go, figuring out how to support both of them in ways that are practical, sustainable, and compassionate. Please don't pretend you haven't been frustrated at all during this process. We all know how hard it's been. The more you care, the more it gets into you. So, are you really okay? If y...

Travelogue | Graduation Trip - Melbourne, Australia

Oh hi! I'm back after a long hiatus. Well... anyway nobody cares to read my blog but then I just drop some photos taken during my recent trip to Melbourne with my friend and her son. Meant to be a graduation trip cos our uni, RMIT is in Melbourne. So let me take you through with a photo story of my favourite. It seems more like a photography trip to me. 90% of the photos are not relating to food. OMG! How well did I fare for my skills now? Any improvement? For me to find out.

We signed up this tour package with Nam Ho Travel and okay, is good. Probably need a change of some places of interest in the itinerary, like opt out the Pannys Amazing, World of Chocolate and Amaze n Things and change to Sea Aquarium (Sealife) probably. A 6D4N is just right for exploring the city.

End of the day, I feel that to make all these shots even better, should get a wide angle lens. But too ex. Anyway, I love this trip cos of the blue sky, green grass patches and most importantly, the brightness of the sunshine. But not too much though as it makes my photos over-exposed. I never did much editing except auto-correct the exposure with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Okay. Enjoy!
