    Another scam call

    Yesterday, during lunchtime, I got a phone call from a person saying they were a third-party appointed by Maybank. The gist is: An account owner on Maybank named Saleha binti Zakaria listed my number as their emergency contact number. The account is suspected of several suspicious transactions, and Saleha cannot be contacted, so this person,… Continue reading

    Lunchbox

    For the past week, I have been preparing lunchboxes for my husband and kids. My husband usually bought his lunch at a shopping area near his office, and the kids had their lunch provided by the school canteen with a monthly fee.

For five years, I never used my personal Chrome account. Naturally, the bookmarks went unnoticed. After I resigned, I reset my Chrome browser… Continue reading

    After Almost 6 Years…

    I’m leaving Automattic. The first question would always be: “Why?” — Especially, considering the recent ongoing drama in the WordPress community, it’s easy to think if I (finally) left because of misalignment with Matt and the company. I’d say, it’s more of a 50-50 situation. I have been staying away from the drama and only… Continue reading

  • How do you “perform”?

    How do you “perform”?

    This is more like a question than a blog post, hahah. But yes, this is something that I have been wondering about. From my limited experience and exposure in trips to different countries, I noticed there are folks that somehow so eloquent in speaking and storytelling. For example, Sergio Barros in Covent Garden Street. Barros… Continue reading
