Backyard Camping, Say What!!!

Monday, June 29, 2020

Hi guys,

Happy Monday! Ugh... As much as I hated Monday (well, to be fair, it used to be my favorite day before pandemic), I used to loathe camping more. Hahaha~~ That was the old me, pre-baby Beverly. But look at me know, a mom of two and I'm raving about camping. Thank you motherhood.

Maybe I shouldn't take credit from Chean, let me confess. This was Chean's idea, authentically his Father's Day project with the kids. Lucky him, smart to exclude me from his backyard camping project, haha, truly appreciate him for not signing me up for extra works. Lap you.

#1 Good luck Chean! And Happy Father's Day 😆😜😂

Of course, I helped out too. Scroll down for evidences, k.

#2 It's all started with this piece of paper.

Chean literally sat the kids down for a brainstorming session a week before. How cute! The kids are never shy to ask for movie night and sweet treats whenever they could. Wish granted of course, Daddy Chean has zero power to resist when his daughters say, "Pleeeeease,"

#3 These two! Packed their backpacks, supa adorb~~

#4 Here. My major contribution of the day was to make sure that the camping foods were served on time at the right temperature. Wait, did I mention I was the one that bought and carry four bags of groceries home while Chean was setting up the camping tent.

Team work is magic, we always divide and conquer, no doubt.

And I don't want it to be a daily battle, so I just let her be and prep myself for a beautiful story to tell when she grows older. Aside from their hair, the sausage bun was a big hit!!!

#14 So much sugar!!! *fainted*

This probably one of the many reasons why I'm not a super big fans of camping yet... It's the camping foods that drive me nuts a little 😜 Think about all the can foods, high sodium pre-prepped meals, and the unnecessary extra sugar that these two little bodies inhale... So unhealthy 😆😆😆 Ok, I should stop nagging and just focus on the fun elements.

#15 We played and hung out in the backyard until the sky turned dark, which was a brand new experience for us.

B8CD0624-3AD9-4E67-8DD9-9EFE0DA8BA76
#16 Then Chean brought the girls inside the tent and I went back into our house. Yup, you read this right, I can't sleep on the airbed, it's too uncomfortable for me 😅😅😅

Well... I thought I'd be able to have a restful night but boy, I miss them so much (just the girls, Chean can continue to stay in the tent, lol). It felt a little weird not to have them sleeping inside this house with me; it's indeed the first time for me to be by myself in the house and the house suddenly felt so big. Boo Hoo... I didn't sleep well. I now understand how Chean felt each time I brought the girls back to Malaysia with me; he must have felt the same too. Not loneliness but the emptiness, it felt strange.

#17 Took this pic at 3am that day. I wasn't alseep yet so I checked on them from the dining room.

50D025FF-23F8-44AF-8C87-BD98407F93C9
#18 This was taken at 9a.m.! My babies were up!!! Look at Summer, she was so elated to see me! And Chloe? She's always swinging 😂

AC2F66F0-D016-48C4-B6E8-190560FB17BA
#19 I sped to the tent and gave them the biggest hug. So I asked if they miss me, of course they answered Y.E.S. and then, Chloe said, "I feel so bad for you Mommy that you have to be in the house all by yourself. We had a really fun time camping out here."

Hahahaha! Her bold statement made my day; it totally provided a different perspective. I was worried if the tent wasn't warm enough or the air beds were too soft or the backyard animals paid a visit and all the worries that a mom is good at... But Chloe thought differently as if I was being left out. Hahaha.

All in all, both of them had such a great time. Thumbs up to Daddy Chean for his brilliant idea, the girls are so blessed to have such a fun addy to be around with. It was indeed a special day for Chean and me too.

How To Be a Lifelong Bookworm?

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

Hello BS-ers,

How's your day going so far? I haven't heard from you guys for a while but the stat shows the daily views of this blog are gradually increasing, so I guess you guys are reading? Thank you for your support.

4B364BFB-4035-43C8-AF71-939C3129B996
#1 You guys know I like books.

I like reading books since I was three, and I still have a vivid and fond memory of how my first book looked like. It was a very basic and simple alphabet book my mom gifted me. It was a humid and warm evening, she sat me down in the living room upstairs... Ya, I grew up in a huge 1/2 wooden 1/2 concrete house that had a second living room on the second floor with a lavish pool table despite living in a tiny village in a small town. At least that's how I remember it, my early childhood days.

So that evening, my mom had a courageous and ambitious idea to teach her 3y/o firstborn to read. The memory still seems super fresh, trust me, it feels like yesterday when she requested me to repeat the first 3 alphabets in the book: A is for Apple, B is for Ball, C is for Cat... She repeated and flipped through the pages, over and over again three times but I still can't remember a thing except A is for Apple. 

She got furious. The next second, she lost it.

She tore my first book into half, in front of me. The whole experience scarred me. Never thought a special mommy-and-me time could turn into such a horrific experience.

My mom stomped out of the living room and left the scene. I was sitting there by myself, with my first book and its pages that had been entirely torn out. I was traumatized and cried so hard, not just because my mom was mad at me but more so because of my own stupidity and poor working memory.

I went to my room and looked for a tape while repeating A is for Apple, B is for Ball, C is for Cat, over and over again in my mind until I can correctly pronounce those words and recognize the shape of each alphabet.

I then went to look for my mom, she was sitting on a couch in the living room downstairs. I braved myself to approach her, sobbed and then muttered, "A is for Apple, B is for Ball, C is for Cat... Can you help me tape it back?" My mom did help me with the book, she was surprised that I finally remembered all three alphabets. The same week, I memoried 26 of the alphabets (for the sake of memorizing) not knowing I'll be stuck with those alphabets forever.

 If so, what's the rush mom?

My mom was 27 at that time. I'm not sure if I'd handle the situation better than her if I were born and raised in that era, with limited help and resources. I didn't blame her but I always thought the whole incident wasn't necessary. If I had a time machine, I'd turn back time to that humid evening and tell my mom, "Aunty, just chilled, mm shu kong (no need to worry, in Hakka, go ask Google if you don't believe me) your daughter is going to be a lifelong bookworm, Just enjoy your time together,"

Well, you totally don't have to be traumatized by your parent to be an avid reader. Reading should be fun; it should be a fun escape from reality. But my bookworm life took a twist when I first became a mom. As funny as it sounds, it wasn't that traumatizing childhood experience that stole the fun of it, it was motherhood.

The early days of motherhood were all about figuring out a game plan to keep my head above water and to maintain sanity in the household albeit sleep-deprived. There wouldn’t be time to curl up with a book anymore. It felt like a decade to finish a book, and that frustrated me a lot. So I gave up reading books that I enjoy; I revamped my whole reading list and fill it with books that I MUST read instead: The Whole-Brained Child, Last Child in The Woods, No-Drama Discipline, The Body Keeps The Score and probably 10 dozens more... And I went through the reading list like a Form 6 student prepping for STPM exam, haha.

What's the rush Bev?

As my firstborn grew, I matured too. I realized my self-love ability was at the lowest point, it sunk into a sinkhole, guess what, I was the one that pushed myself into that sinkhole ironically. My daily life as a first-time mom was joyful but not much fun.

So one sunny and breezy afternoon, I sat myself down, like how my mom did with me when I was three. I listed three things that I enjoyed doing at that particular moment, reading was one of them. I revamped my reading list again, but this time I replaced it with My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler, This Is How You Lose Her, Milk and Honey, Man's Search For Meaning and probably a dozen more (ya, only a dozen more this time cause baby was growing bigger, no time to juggle eh.)

Oh boy, my life was suddenly filled with bliss and light although I still pretty much doing the same things day in day out... My soul was nurtured; my spirit was lifted. Never thought a tiny change of action could make such a huge impact.

13F1D44A-5BDE-4E4C-9B75-E95F8A192A52 #2 I've been burying my head in books that I really enjoyed since 😊😊😊

Here's the final takeaway... If you were once a book lover but somehow lost in the vast of the modern world, have no fear my friend, mm shu kong. Here are some of my strategies to stay connected with the reading world...

1) Seize the modern technology. There are tons of apps and podcasts that can help fill your needs, like Blinkist and What Should I Read Next? . They are designed for readers that have hectic and demanding schedules. These apps come in handy, check them out.

2) Read anything. Comic, novel, non-fiction, memoir, genre doesn’t matter. Reading is the perfect hobby for any stage of your life. Your reading materials do not have to be serious or purposeful; it can be as casual as reading an in-flight magazine. The material doesn't quite matter but the healthy reading habit.

3) Mini goal. Once you've established a reading habit, try to set mini reading goals to keep the momentum going. You can easily do that with the apple app, iBook. My current reading goal is set to 5-minute, every day, haha. I know you are laughing at me now, but hey I often over-achieve my daily goal ok, pure satisfaction whenever I did that.

4) Join/Host a Book Club. No pressure. This is for advanced readers only, jk lah. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of mama friends that love reading too, we take turns organizing and hosting our monthly book club. It's so much fun to mingle and socialize with friends who share the same interest and passion.

#3 There's a proverb in Chinese that goes: 书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉. It literally means, "in books are sumptuous houses and graceful ladies". It urges one to be diligent in his/her studies and the success will follow.

As I grow older, I think I understand why my mom was mad at me at that time. I thank my mom for teaching me that important lesson: It's a privilege to read at a young age. She probably had saved up money for that colorful alphabet book, just so I can read.

To her, reading is sacred. Through her, I learn that reading is empowering. With the ability to read at such a young age, it sets me free from difficult circumstances and opens up so many precious opportunities in my life.

And that is the most precious gift that I could ever ask for. ❤️❤️❤️


Happy reading y'all,
Bev

LoF as She Names It

Monday, June 22, 2020

Hi guys,

It's Monday here in the Bay Area! Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Last week, I tried out a new recipe for our 3pm snack time and man, it was so good, Chloe had to request it 2 days in a row.

7D7E3622-1743-4684-A4CB-37C348DBD84D
#1 She named this LoF, Layers of Flavors. So creative!

D0E647C8-5949-4213-8A87-580E4853483C
#2 Our typical 3pm snack time looks like... Love the lemon water with a twist of fresh mint leaves...

IMG_7734
#3 Raw vid, no filter. Anyone love Lofi music? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

IMG_7736
#4 Raw vid, no filter x2. This is so good to eat and the recipe is so hard to fail! You really need to try making this at home!

Here, I'm going to share our current favorite snack...

Ingredients:
1) 2 slices of white bread (I use the thicker one)
2) 2 slices of Ham
3) Shredded mozzarella cheese
4) 2 eggs
5) Kewpie Mayo (you can get this from Asian Market)
6) Chopped parsley for garnish
7) Olive oil

Steps:
1) Make a regular sandwich with the bread, Ham and mozzarella cheese.
2) Break eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat until well mixed.
3) Heat and grease the pan with olive oil, over medium to hot.
4) Add the egg mix from the mixing bowl, cook for approximately 1-2 minutes to form an omelette.
5) Slowly add the sandwich while the egg is semi-cooked.
6) Flip the egg omelette over so that the sandwich is covered by the egg.
7) Serve on a plate. Garnish with desired amount of mayonnaise and chopped parsley.

Taa daa~~ Just that simple! I'll have my sis look at this recipe upon publishing this post, and update this with the calories, haha! So do come back again for the nutrition info. Before that cruel reality kicks in, enjoy this for me!

Happy Snacking ❤️❤️❤️

Picnic Amid Pandemic

Friday, June 19, 2020

Hello,

It's Friday here, TGIF I don't care. Thank you for the encouraging notes after reading my post yesterday, even Chean gives me a kiss on my forehead this morning.

I'm doing superb, I really am. I learn that embracing my vulnerability and imperfection helps me judging myself less harshly... Not just that but it also makes me more compassionate and kind towards myself. Ya, you hear me right, I'm not being self-centered or self-absorbed, I say this because I was once the cruelest slave driver to myself; hence, I'm learning and practicing to love myself more even when I don't or can't meet my own or anyone's expectations. It's ok to feel demotivated or discouraged, it's okay to feel what my heart feels as long as I'm honest to myself. Recognizing and embracing my own feeling actually helps me unstuck the current situation and eventually escape the negative thoughts.

Feelings are temporary, like everything in this world :)

Yup, especially the good weather in San Francisco during Summertime. So I told Chean I wanted to bring the girls outside after his last meeting of the day at 4.30pm, for a picnic, for bee watching, for mental escape or for the sake of we're stuck here the whole Summer... And we did!!! It turned out to be one of the bestest things that happened this week.

I dressed up. I put on my favorite makeup and a new summer dress.

#2 Beverly will always be Beverly no matter how much weight she puts on, lol. So be it, I donn't care. 明明就很在乎,哈哈!

#3 Beautiful weather called for a relaxing afternoon.

I love picnicking, and I'm always picnic-ready, haha. My picnic blanket is always stored in the car trunk. I think it's because my mom used to bring me and my siblings picnic at Lake Garden every Sat morning when I was young... Relatives and neighbors would laugh at her saying that she brought us to 喂蚊 (feed the mosquitos) 😒😒😒 But I had the best childhood memory playing by the creek, running barefoot on the grass, feeding the birds... It's true that I always got mosquito bites, lol, but staying indoor will also kena bite what.

So when I have a family of my own, I bring them picnic whenever I grasp a chance to do so.

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-7
#4 Both of my girls love spending time together, doing nothing but enjoying the nice weather, just being present and being grateful...

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-5
#5 Ohhh.. Okok... Sorry, actually these two did A LOT OF things... Summer was playing ball with Daddy Chean.

#10 A minimalist daisy ring, so delicate and elegant, it completed my OOTD.

#14 Aww... So precious...

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-4
#15 "It's D.A.I.S.Y. mama, yolk (her unique walk of saying look)" 😁😁😁

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-3
#16 Chean is finally appearing 😂😂😂

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-2
#17 A fraction of how our daily life looks like...

You know what, all these great pictures that I took, edited and posted here are just a very tiny fraction of our life here in San Francisco, and most importantly, I intentionally chose the prettiest pictures to publish on my blog just because... It's a blog. Right?

The majority of my daily life actually consists of boring and tiring errands and chores, just like the average moms or women. However, when days like this knock at my door occasionally, it's hard to see it slip away. Therefore, I seize the day so that I can look back at all these beautiful moments and think to myself,

"Life is full of beautiful potential. Let's get this basket of laundry down and go picnic again someday~~" 😜😜😜



Love,
Beverly

Read T.H.I.S. Before Quitting (Note to Self)

Friday, June 19, 2020

Hi there,

This post is originated during my jog at Golden Gate Park today, I initially posted my thought on my IG stories, then soon realized it's too wordy but I really wanted to document this process...

Not sure if you read them already, in case you haven't had a chance to do so,  here's what I wrote:

167FBC50-60CC-4D96-83BA-D9B5DD18B25D
#1 Words I wrote on my IG story today...

C98F818B-52ED-435B-82FA-812C71844B88
#2 More words...

You know... Whatever that you're working on now, be it a 9-5 job, a demanding career, a seemingly important yet humdrum errand, a new adventure you're journeying on, a brave endeavor that nobody seems to notice yet or an edgy business idea that no one gets it... Seriously, it can be anything that you're investing your time and money in but not making an impact as you desire... Sometimes self-doubt stupidly takes charge and asks you to JUST QUIT.

I have tons of those moments. Trust me. For the past 3 years... The art label that I poured in sweats and blood but plan was halted; the travel start-up that I worked for 18 months was of little or no avail... Then two more business ideas that I proposed/ventured on but none of those worked out. Seeing each of every single project being aborted one after another was very bitter and upsetting... And each time, I wanted to quit. I wanted to just hide in my own cocoon and you know, just get by.

But my heart screams for something else. I think life means so much more than just being contented in my comfort zone. I want more, I want to contribute more, I want to give more... I didn't know what that I really wanted to do for the next 10 years at that time, so I took a break.

Well, not really a break. I went back to school. Ya, I didn't tell anymore except those that are super close with me. I went to study Paralegal cause I was contemplating if I should get a cert or a second master or a Phd (hopefully not)... Paralegal seems favorable because I always wish to learn about business law, especially intellectual property and cybersecurity. Getting a Paralegal cert will probably help me get a sense if Law School is really for me. After 4 classes, we have a global pandemic. I haven't heard from that school since, ya, they probably don't have the resources to react during this unprecedented time.

Anyway... God has a different idea I guess.

In February this year, aside from being a part-time student, I started my YouTube Channel: 偷時間聊天的Beverly My intention was to reconnect with my siblings (my sis), my families (cousins) and my good friends (especially my BFFS)... Being so far away from home all these years has caused so many damages and misunderstandings in some of my closest relationships, it broke my heart to realize I no longer share the same "language" with those that I love and adore... I don't understand and I was lost in my own culture; the rojak culture that I was once familiar and super proud of...

Fortunately, my good observation skill sparked an idea, which then turned into the birth of my YouTube Channel of course, most of my friends in Malaysia watch YouTube videos; it has become a platform for their daily dose of entertainment or search engine. Then I dive deeper to study the digital landscape of Malaysia and its future growth projection, the picture seems clearer and the determination grows stronger. Perhaps you might already know,  there are 20 million UNIQUE YouTube users in Malaysia as of February 2018 with 40 million DAILY impressions. Wait, what? With a 32 million population?! No joke. So I joined the bandwagon; I'd highly suggest you act the same too. If I'm going to spend X amount of time recording, editing, and producing videos from midnight till sunrise, I need something bigger to grasp onto, at least able to provide a legit and solid answer to my inner self.

Anyway... Before straying too far away, I can go on and on with stats and data :p

As much as I wanted to constantly stay motivated or to push myself forward... I felt really discouraged yesterday. And that stupid voice hit me up again: JUST QUIT.

It’s so easy to quit, to just hide in our cocoon and feel safe in our comfort zone, especially when you are physically exhausted. I am a mom after all; I am always a mom first. But jeez... My laundry basket is mountain high, my closet yells for more storages, my reading goal with my kids is left unattended, the daily chores and never-ending tasks go on and on... I'm tired, or maybe as fancy as it sounds, Quarantine Fatigue.

Then suddenly I thought of my BFF that unexpectedly left this world three months ago... She didn’t give up till the last second of her life though she had more reasons to do so than anyone...

What grants me the privilege to quit then?

Then suddenly all the memories flashed back, back to my university time where I worked every semester break so that I can afford buying nice clothes to accessorize myself for the auditions at the local TV stations, NTV7, 8TV, and a dozen more independent production houses that I can't even recall...

All the uncountable rejections and "Nope, maybe next time," as cruel as it sounded, I never had any sad feeling because I knew I've given my best. It's just that "my best" had yet to meet their requirement, but each rejection I received basically meant I'm one step closer towards my goal. If there's a golden rule that never fails, I'd say life always rewards those who work hard.

This is the brutal truth that I learned through young age, through rounds and rounds of audition since I was in high school. In the final stage of every single audition or competition, you'll encounter the most talented and gifted souls, every one of them is as qualified as you hence you guys are in the same pool... What really makes you stand out is your last leap, it is not just your gift or talent, it is the extra hours and the ultra determination and the unbeatable desire that you're willing to put in on top of everything else. That determination and perseverance landed me a 2-year contract with a private production studio. Although I didn't choose to sign with them eventually (I almost did), it was a beautiful and rewarding journey 😊😊😊

Where there's a will there's a way. 我一直都是一個很努力的人。

So... Whenever I felt discouraged, I walked down that memory lane and talked to my old self. Hey Bev, you were one of the 13 selected artists out of 1000 plus candidates. You did it. Now you can too. It's the journey that matters.

That's it. That's my train of thought while I was jogging in the park today, ya, after 3 months and I finally have guts to do it. It feels sooooo good, the sense of normalcy (with masks of course) instantaneously comforts me.

JPEG image-427189AC52F7-19
#3 Ahhhhh... Life is good! Especially with a cute picture ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Thank you for reading! It's a lengthy and wordy one, but hey, don't you miss this? Heart to heart talk... Also, to whoever reading this now, thank you for holding the fort and tending this secret garden while I was taking such a long break.

Now I'm going to think about the next video that I'm going to make, hmm...



Love & kisses,
Bev



Weekend Vibes

Sunday, June 14, 2020

Yoohoo~~ Happy weekend!

Hope this COVID-19 pandemic doesn't take the fun away from you. If it does taking a toll on you, maybe I can share some of my simple ways to give your quarantine life a relief...

1) Find the center of your home.
This doesn't have to be assessed by a Feng Shui master or to be identified by an architect; the center of a home simply consists of 3 elements: togetherness, fun, and joy.

It is a space in your home that always brings everyone together, do fun thing together, and create joyful memories. In this case, the center of my home is always the dining area. We enjoy foods, so this space is perfect for us to hang out for a casual chat between meals and snacks. We love family activities, so this space helps us sitting across each other and work on something together, baking project, finger painting, jewelry making, you name it, we probably have done it. Through that, we share lots of joyous moments as a single unit of the society, a family 😊😊😊

Once you've figured out the center of your home that fulfilled these 3 elements, remember to always keep it clean, pleasant, and functional.

7F1AA33E-899F-4E2E-9E36-97D1E2B20684
#1 This is how mine looks like today.

I wake up to this because jeez, you've no idea how much effort I've spent to make this area presentable. Think constant clean up and decluttering. I usually heavy clean the house on Friday to set the weekend vibe right while anticipatingly welcoming it! I find this practice helpful because we all get to enjoy a decent breakfast in a nice setting the next day.

2) Invest in items that not only bring you joy but functional too.

#2 A sturdy cake stand, a beautiful vase, a cute dessert plate, a mid-century buffet table, a real wood dining table, a rustic dining chair...

Every single piece of furniture or items that I bring home need to have at least a 5-10 years life span. They don't have to be expensive but they need to last; its style and functionality. No more compulsive buying for a lady, each of those are carefully curated.

3) Spend time making your own meal.

#3 The breakfast I eat this morning. It's just a very simple open-faced avocado spread on a sourdough baguette that takes me 5 minutes. But the process of making it, oh boy, it feels like therapy.

Taking time prepping your meals during the weekend makes you feel good because you know you're taking good care of yourself; your body thanks you, so does your mind.

4) Stay active. 

This is hard. With all the shelter-in-place order, homeschooling and working-from-home, all I wanted to do is eat, rest and repeat. It's hard to find the time or even squeeze out extra energy to stay active. But maybe, I say maybe, you can try doing it during weekend.

#4 We always try to bring the kids out during the weekend, walking on the wood lines, playing in the sand dune, running on the green grass... Looking after them while they are being outdoor helps me stay active, haha. It's true. All parents know about it.

Btw, do you see the ocean? Isn't San Francisco a beauty?

5) Embrace nature

#5 This pandemic makes me realize how much I appreciate nature, in a mindful way. Nature is all around us yet I rarely take the time to step back to really appreciate it, to feel its present and be grateful for it.

#7 After an almost 2.5 hours hike, we come home and relax. I manage to make some snacks for the kids while they continue their fun time in the backyard.

It looks nice, isn't it? Thanks to frozen pizza and packaged tomato soup from Trader Joe's. Oh btw, I went to Trader Joe's for the very first time yesterday, not sure if you saw it on my insta stories.

But ya, if you set the center of your home right and curate it mindfully, not only it is extremely soothing to look at but you can easily make a twist by toying around with other things, foods, magazines, books, plants, etc...

6) Utilize it, don't just gram it.

#8 Whatever that you bring home, even a small utensil, make sure you use it, make sure it is functional, not just for a good-looking photograph that brings you 100k likes.

We're now living in an era that we build things for "likes and loves" on social media. It's utterly important to remind ourselves that we don't just live for those things, we live because we are. You deserve more than all the "likes and loves" you'd get on Instagram or Facebook, you just do.

I hope you enjoy this post and able to find joy in it too. I have a really blissful Saturday so far, hope I share a piece of good vibe with you all, too.



XOXO,
Bev
