People that Matter

By admin


Passed out at Casa Del Tan
I’ve been flying back and forth between HK/KL quite frequently (truth be told, I’m supposed to be based in HK) because my manager Suraya (Beaming Stars) has been consistently been keeping me busy in KL with events, work and everything else. It seems like every week I’m on a flight with only mere evenings and afternoons to  spend time with the handful of people I think of, off the top of my head.
Each time I go back to KL, I feel like my social crowd gets smaller and smaller and the calls come in less frequent. I’ve started to enjoy the silence and I don’t mind when I have time to myself. I don’t bother alarming people when I’m in one place or another and I’m rarely on MSN or Facebook (except my BBM status will prob be the best notifier).

This past trip back was extremely stressful and relaxing at the same time. I’ve had an overdose of my girlies in KL with a great catch-up sesh after a hilarious preview of New Moon (we found it to be more funny than romantic). If there is a crew of girlies that I always miss, its prob my gfs in KL! We’ve got such a great dynamic between us as all of us are so different from each other but will always help each other when we can- i’m also their token Chinese girl. (Hey, for the first time I’m a minority in my group!) I usually only call my neighbour Ah Tan and thank goodness my girl Fei Fei dropped in!  It was like a double bonus cuz Ah Tan reminds me of everything I know that is KL and Fei Fei is my mobile app version of home.
Hi, we're The Chinky Lians. Meet Nelly- my big brudder!
I had back to back events working and making appearances but I finally got the chance to hang out with my brudder since he’s moved to Asia. Our time in Malaysia never really overlapped because he moved to KL when I moved to HK. After 2 months, we finally get to spend a weekend together: walking over to MidV, having lunch and watching Ninja Assassin (Rain is HOT!) or lounging around and ordering pizza. I don’t ever want to take moments like these for granted because I realize how rare spending time with family has become for me. Between the 6 of us, we’ve been living in 5 cities spread from East to West (Vancouver, Toronto, Taiwan, China, Malaysia) The last time we all had dinner as a family was probably my sister’s wedding in June 2006. (Yup, thats more than 3.5 years already!) I’ve been away for too long and I hope that I’ll be able to spend more time with family when I’m back. But for now, my friends are definitely as good as family! 🙂

    The elegance of a qipao will never go out of style The elegance of a qipao will never go out of style. I always love classic yet modern designs and I love this dress by @khoonhooi_gold x @isetan.cultivation. CNY may be a little more challenging this year but there’s no reason why we can’t bring a smile wherever we go. Thanks for making me look good @arymuzamer 😘.

    Monday Motivation: today felt like a non-stop exer Monday Motivation: today felt like a non-stop exercising day. From skipping to burpees and a 90min yoga session including cleansing breaths to finish. Blink and you’ll miss Dolly doing her best while I was busy trying to concentrate. Time to make dinner and do laundry! So much work, so little time.

    Still not wearing pants. 😂😂 Wearing @jujumel Still not wearing pants. 😂😂
Wearing @jujumellointimates instead. 😊

Looks like the first 2 weeks of January has taken a turn for the worst in Malaysia. Our health system at it’s capacity. Greedy politicians trying to fight for power, so much so our King has been granted Emergency Powers until August. To be honest, all of this hasn’t quite hit me yet, I’ve had a slower start to the year but each step taken has been intentional, from the people I spend my time with to the people I want to work with. 

Life is still not a bed of roses but I don’t mind taking time to pluck the thorns out. I’m clearly still exploring parts of me that I’ve missed for awhile. I’ve had friends from my past telling me that the old Sarah is back again and I’m glad too! I’ve been having such lucid dreams and they’ve been giving me a clearer indication of what I need to work on. (Thank God for @therealashagill’s #DecodingDreams workshop) 

I’m trying to be more accepting of things I cannot change and learning from last year’s situation. If you can, help out a small business, everyone is trying to make a side hustle to make ends meet. We can always be kinder, more compassionate and more loving to those who have less than us. Everyone is fighting a battle that we cannot see. Don’t be so quick to judge.

    Decided to push for a HIIT workout before Malaysia Decided to push for a HIIT workout before Malaysia got the news that we will be having another lockdown. We’re back to MCO status as of Wednesday and if you haven’t learnt from our first MCO, here’s your chance to learn from it again! 😂 This time I’ve got Dolly to look after. 
I don’t think I’ll be wearing pants for awhile either. What are you going to be doing differently this time around? #lockdown #thirdwave #coronavirus
