Check Out My New YouTube Channel!

So, like, urm... this happened. 👇

I know, I know. This is totally out of character. The kids are usually censored kau-kau and the online world doesn't even know their real names. 😂 BUT BUT BUT... it was The Husband who's actually been bugging me to start a YouTube channel featuring the kids for awhile now – 2-3 months at the very least. Ever since he started watching YouTube every night before bed. But hey, I'm not complaining cos, to be honest, it's been difficult blogging without involving the kids because my life is pretty much all about them at this juncture.


But this particular story truly began two afternoons ago. The Husband and I were sitting down in the living room with YouTube travel videos playing in the background, wondering if MCO will be extended a second time. Suddenly, he turned to me and said, "Eh... Start your YouTube la... What you waiting for?? Let's make some money la!" And proceeded to school me on travel YouTubers who earn USD just traveling and videoing themselves eating. 🙄🤑


In actual fact, it's me who's been putting this off all this while cos... you know... tired la... sien la... not feeling well la... busy la... next time la... Those every-day excuses somehow always got in the way of any productivity and action in this arena while I tried to keep our home life running as seamlessly as possible in spite of the hospital visits and treatment downtime. #cancersucks


And then out of nowhere, COVID-19 forced us indoors and
MCO stopped all social / outdoor / extracurricular activity.

So, yeah. Fun With Sons is what you get when you put a business-minded husband, two bored kids, and a creativity-deprived mom at home for extended periods of time. Everybody needs an outlet and this is it. Sekian.

There Are Two Types Of Women

The first type considers the Movement Control Order – more fondly known as MCO – as the perfect time to pamper themselves with face masks, body spas, DIY mani-pedis and self massages. These women will come out of this lockdown season looking like a million bucks, all rosy, radiant and rested.


And then there's the second type who thinks:

"Heck it la. Ain't goin' nowhere; ain't nobody seeing me now.
Why waste a good bottle of face cream on a whole month in??" 


I might have had a little bit of the spunk and spirit of the former back in my early to mid-20s to pamper myself and pretty up at home for just no reason at all... but no points for guessing which type of woman I am now. Oh how my 30s has changed me. Or is it motherhood? Hmmm. 🤔🤭
