Earlier this year I wrote about how at the age of 28, I view love, relationship & marriage differently.
.
That writing was a result of heartbreaks (multiple, yes), lying & being lied to, backstabs, disappointments, and self-reflects.
.
A few months later, my view has transposed a bit. Albeit, similar values, but I am now in a happier state. Alhamdullilahhh. Hence, this new piece of writing.
.
So.. What’s your favourite Disney Princess? Often, we are asked this question. My answer has always been the same; Belle.
.
She depicts intelligence, charm, class, elegance & most importantly, she has her own stand on how she views things, which I find lacking especially in the classic Disney Princesses.
.
“Peculiar.”
That’s what the ‘provincial town’ villagers think of her. But she did not fake herself just to fit in. She embraced her differences & stayed true to herself. A quality I think I need the most esp in this current social media ruckus. Cuz y’know, some people can easily lose themselves just to get otherpeople’s validation 🤷🏻♀️
.
Also, remember how every Disney princesses needed saving? And that their ONLY purpose in life is fulfilled once they’ve found their true love? This very particular ‘message’ bothers me the most. We are teaching our girls (and boys) that love ALONE is enough. Everyone talks about reciprocal love. But did anyone talk about reciprocal responsibility? Love is not just a feeling. It’s a life-long commitment.
.
Funny how we can easily be deceived by someone’s outer-look. Whereas love blooms from honesty that goes beyond looks & fame. Love can’t be forced nor faked, it is to be developed.
.
She did not fall for the superficial qualities, stereotypical men of wealth & stature but saw something far greater than that which is, the heart. And this sparked a sincere feeling in the Beast to also love, unconditionally. Is this not the essence of true love?
.
Belle aspires me to become a better woman. To take matters into my own hands. To be kind regardless, as beauty is only skin deep. Most importantly, Belle teaches me to always upgrade my self not just on how I look, but also on how I THINK. And that’s why, Belle is one helluva princess. -UA💛 @ Belle

【糖妞的故事】
对于2020年本来抱着有很大期望的我
打从二月尾全部公司接到的企业活动或婚礼
都陆续被取消及延后
本来要扩展我们公司的计划也被逼搁置
就像许多担心焦虑的你们
除了被疫情爆发的焦虑笼罩下
还得应对公司及家里庞大的开销
我和我老公几乎每晚难以入眠
虽然情况的确非常不乐观
但我俩也拒绝做温水中的青蛙
与其等待疫情结束或疫苗现世
在不断地慎重商讨后
除了继续在我们的老本行与时并进的进修
我们也决定发展多年来一直很想投入的糖水业
那为什么是中式糖水呢?
其实在我们还未结婚前就常爱逛糖水店
就算到外旅行也总爱尝试不同的中式甜品
虽然常嚷着要开间暖心的糖水铺
但现有的生意都忙得透不过气来
所以这个念头一直都不了了之
在管制严令期间几乎每个晚上
我们都会熬上几碗温热的糖水
与我们两个年幼的小孩
一家四口围着分享
看着我女儿那稚气的脸
满足地喝完整碗糖水
让我们发现
一碗糖水带来的幸福感
竟然甚于平时虽辉煌却忙碌的日子
所以决定把我们平时最爱喝的广式糖水
以传统为始 推陈出新
研发一系列注重于养生美颜的健康微甜食
我们在饮食业这一块的经验尚浅
但是也促使我们放进无数的心机去研发
坚持所有产品皆选用优质新鲜的食材制作
希望这些甜品任何时候都能陪在大家身边
也让这一份幸福感
走进更多人的饮食生活
Sugirl这名启发自我女儿谐音”糖”的小名
希望品尝到这些暖心甜品的顾客
无论遇上什么风浪或挫折
都能从逆境中微笑奋起
记得”生活很苦 但你要甜”🌈
假如哪天你很想喝上一碗暖胃的温糖水或消暑的冰甜品
只需WhatsApp 我们即行
不同的地区有不同的配送流程
尝试过的朋友不要忘了给我们你的意见
或手指一按分享我们的page出去
让我们有更大的改进空间
谢谢你朋友们
愿大家一切安好❤️

Why I deleted the Instagram app on my phone for 2 weeks
Confession: I think I'm not alone in that I have a love-hate relationship with social media, and insta for me is the worst - I lose track on how much time I waste on it. It’s amazing how one app can do so much to give me all sorts of emotions - inspired, educated, entertained, but also, sometimes, skeptical, insecure, and recently, downright depressed.
and so... some time last week, I decided I'm going to check myself out of that daily time-wasting routine. I knew it would be a temporary thing, but I needed to physically delete it for a bit. It wasn't too difficult because I also (very) recently became an aunt, a 舅母!! So right around when that happened, I decided I was going to take a break from Instagram for a while. I just really needed to breathe; and it has been SO nice, and also SO nice to have a beautiful little soul to adore during this time - it made me forget a lot of sad things for a moment, and it was amazing.
I don’t know about you, but for me, a new part of growing up that I am starting to love, is meeting new little members in the family or in friendship circles. Even when they’re not necessarily your own, something about the birth of a human being gives you a new kind of perspective, and a new appreciation for simplicity, and feelings of gratefulness and contentment in life as it is, seeing how beautiful and magical the world is again, from the eyes of a new born baby.
And then it is during moments like these, when you witness a new life coming to this world, that always reminds me of my mother. I wish I could still ask her stories about me as a baby... though she's also told me many 🙂
My mother did not grow up in very fortunate circumstances. Her family was a very humble family, and she was the neglected middle child of three girls. She was always underappreciated, always the one to take the blame, always the one that did things wrong. It didn't come easy for her. But she always told herself that she will love her children equally without biases, and she truly did. She became the most successful one amongst her siblings, and she was a really successful power woman, and my first and biggest inspiration.
But she was also a painter, a singer, a daring driver, and a chef. Where she’s from, she enjoyed a very starchy diet of dumplings, noodles and buns... and perhaps that’s why I have this weird obsession that fans know about, with 饅頭s. I got it from her - it was her favorite as a child, no sauce, just plain steamed. I also used to love the 餃子 dumplings she made, they were the best in the world!
She might not be around anymore, but her spirit lives within me and my family's hearts. And I look back upon our memories now with no sorrow but just joy and gratefulness. A lot of things she's told me, all the lessons, the values, I remember vividly still, and make up a lot of who I am today - Working hard to earn what you cherish and care about, being kind to people, understanding different perspectives, and always remembering the importance of family. From her, I learned how to give love unconditionally, forgiveness, and having a big heart. I may never be as selfless as her, but I guess it's a good thing in a way - I wish she took better care of herself. Perhaps if she placed a little bit more attention on herself... she would still be here. I just got too lucky to have a mother like her, and I wish I was there for her sooner, and learned to cherish her sooner.
I guess now as a new aunt, I have this rush of emotions that I cannot fully explain. The world is crazy right now, social media is crazy, the news is crazy... but I pray for similar things for baby niece that my late mother wished for me. Be happy and healthy, don't be spoiled. Be grateful, be kind, be generous. But, also, be able to receive love as much as give love. LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMY!
I am so grateful for the joy and light my baby niece brought me during these tumultuous times in the city, and I just want to focus on that for a little longer... Life is crazy, but for now, I just wanna choose simplicity, and faith.
Welcome to the world, little one! ❤️
And for everyone else, thank you for reading my long blogs, and reading till here. Please let me know what you'd like to hear my share about 🙂 in the mean time, choose love, and bring light. Till next time!
