My Unexpected TikTok Revelations: A 40-Something’s Take on Gen Z

From my Point of View Disclaimer: This post is just my personal reflection as a 40-something creator navigating TikTok for the first time! It’s written with lighthearted curiosity and humor, not judgment. Every generation has its own unique way of communicating, expressing identity, and navigating the world. And the following are just a few observations that made me stop and think. Resistance, Realities and the Algorithm I’ll admit it: I was a late adopter. I didn't join TikTok until my mid-40s. For the longest time, I resisted opening an account simply because of its origins and all the hypes around it. But eventually, the creator side of me took over. I wanted more exposure for my YouTube Channel content, so I figured, why not cross-post to TikTok and see how it goes? What started out as a purely practical distribution tactic turned into a fascinating social experiment. Day by day, I found myself scrolling through the endless stream of short-form videos and began uncovering some...

Food Review | Shepherd's Pie


To be honest, this is my first time having Shepherd's pies (and so is the husband). Always skip this dish especially when there is buffet spread at workplace. I don't know what stop me from having this delicious pie (I seriously can't figure out even now) despite my colleagues' praises over it.

Now we are hooked from the first mouthful. What have we been missing all these while?
Thank you Shepherd's Pie SG for sending over these pies.

Did wonder what is Shepherd's Pie for the longest time and since I got hold of these pies now, reading up on the story behind them made it necessary. 

Keep it simple: Shepherd's wives made them with leftover lamb meat and vegetables back in those days so that nothing goes to waste (they knew how to reduce food wastage back then). And back then, potatoes and lamb meat were popular ingredients to use in cooking dishes. Like mashed potatoes and lamb shank, a few to name.

I liked that the proportion of mashed potatoes and meaty fillings were well-balanced, making sure that you taste the 2 layers of goodness in one spoonful. And the browning of the cheesy top of mashed potatoes was well-controlled during the baking process. Not too charred.

The layer of mashed potatoes taste quite creamy and was smooth enough to just melt in your mouth. And then it went down to the the meaty fillings that were savoury and well-seasoned with a hint of herbs and spices. Bursting with joy from this dish.

The soft and tender meat with mixed vegetables (carrots, peas and corn) made me thought of Samosa. Haha... Just that this time instead of crispiness on every piece, you dig into the pie and eat with smoothness on every spoonful.

Pairing it with 2012 Merlot Red wine. A nice complement.

And also when we reheated the pies, the aroma just went around the kitchen and to the living room. Love! My very own experience.
