  I wasn’t even looking for it. Just one of those days when I was desperately Googling for something...anything..to help me manage this annoying osteoarthritis pain. If you’ve been living with it, you know what I mean. The stiffness. The dull ache. That feeling like your joints are made of rusted metal. Sigh... Then I stumbled upon this thing called FlexiSEQ. Never heard of it before. No fancy packaging. No dramatic claims. Just a gel. I was skeptical. But desperate times call for random purchases. So I clicked “Add to Cart” and waited. When it finally arrived, I didn’t waste time. I opened the box, read the instructions (yes, finally I actually read them this time), and applied it as directed. Once in the morning after shower. Once at night before bed. No cooling sensation. No heat. No tingling. NOTHING. Just a plain gel. I was like, “Eh? Is this even working or just pretending to be helpful?” Hmmmm.... But I kept going. Because I’m stubborn like that. Four days later... I noticed...

It’s been a while since I wrote something this personal. But today, I feel like pouring my heart out. Maybe someone out there needs to read this. Maybe someone is going through the same thing and feels just as lost. Or maybe… this is just for me. To remind myself how far I’ve come. The Beginning of the Unknown I never imagined my body would betray me like this. One day I was fine, and the next… everything changed. It started with stiffness in my joints. My knees, my back, even my fingers felt like they belonged to someone else. I thought maybe I slept wrong. Or maybe I was just tired. But it didn’t go away. Then came the gut issues. Bloating. Constipation. Diarrhea. Sudden food sensitivities. My once-trusty digestive system turned into a moody diva. I had to say goodbye to my favorite spicy food, and even my beloved cappuccino betrayed me.  The Pain That Doesn’t Show Perimenopause crept in like a thief in the night. Silent. Sneaky. Cruel. The hormonal rollercoaster was no joke. One...

  Sometimes, you just need to pack your bag, hop into your car, and drive away from the chaos. That’s exactly what I did. A not spontaneous 2D1N staycation to Kuantan, Pahang with my family. Just to fullfill my Dad's wish a getaway by the beach with all his family. My sisters and I planned it for him. Well, no really planned with rigid itinerary. Just not easy to get all 11 of us together at the same time and the same day. It was an open road journey, eat, sleep and eat again hahaha My role was just as someone who booked the room and make sure everyone get a good room with view. Halfway through the journey, we made a pit stop at the famous Go Bang Maju Patin Tempoyak, right by Tol Temerloh. This place is THE spot for Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak, a Pahang specialty that locals swear by, recommended by my first sister. Now, let me confess! tempoyak is fermented durian, and while I don't really fancy durian in its majestic creamy glory, the fermented version? I will stay away from i...

Mulberries in front of my house It’s been a while since I last updated you on my health journey. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I went through knee arthroscopy a couple of months ago. And oh boy, what a ride it’s been! Not the kind of ride with scenic views and fresh air.....but more like a bumpy rollercoaster with unexpected twists, hormone hurricanes, and a stubborn knee that refuses to cooperate fully. The Knee Drama: Arthroscopy & Beyond Let me start by saying this....I survived! Cue dramatic music and confetti. The surgery itself was smooth, but the recovery? That’s a whole different story. For the past two months, I’ve been diligently attending physiotherapy three times a week. Yes, three times. That’s more commitment than I’ve ever given to a gym membership. Did I ever sign up for one before? The sessions were intense....think squats, stretches, and exercises that made me question my life choices. But my physiotherapist was a gem, always encouraging and never ju...
