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, 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?

Food Review | Goruden Singapore

NUS Kent Ridge campus will soon be a foodie paradise, I hope. Goruden is one of the new additions in campus and am very curious of what they will offer. What catches my eyes was that equipment that has chocolate on it, swirling like those we saw at pasar malam, that Kebab.

The concept is a mix of Asian and Mediterranean with a range of homemade menu that is prepared with... shhhh.... secret recipe. On top of that, you can customize your order by filling up the order slip and they will do according to your choice.

For me, I prefer something hassle-free so I picked those ready menu items. Fast and easy to consume. No need to crack my brain on the customization.

Classic Pita w Signature Pulled Pork


Have always seen on television how delicious pulled pork are and the process of making and marinating. I finally get my hands on one sandwiched between pita bread burger. Drizzled with chilli sauce and garlic mayo, some cheese and lettuces to balance the taste, the overall fares well. Though the pita burger was a little hard to bite off, and was chewy.

Charcoal Pita w Tonkatsu (Crispy Pork Cutlet)


Drizzled with chilli sauce and wasabi mayo, I would think that the highlight fell on that charcoal pita burger. The pork cutlet was good. Crispy and not greasy. More importantly, not too tough for that slice of meat.

Black Pepper Chicken Chop Pasta


If I remember correctly, you can choose between rice or pasta. My colleague chose the latter. Looks healthy to me with salad on the side, meat and pasta, you met almost the required nutrition for a meal. Don't you think?

They have another outlet at Orchard so look up from their website provided below. I will give a try on their desserts the next round. Cheers.
