As our parents grow older, many of them start avoiding exercise without saying it directly. They will tell us they have “no strength,” “too tired,” or “no energy.” In their minds, rest feels safer and more comfortable. After decades of working, raising families, and carrying responsibilities, they simply want peace, not another task that feels like effort.

When we look at a primary school child, we often see their size, their energy, their noise, their innocence. But inside their small bodies is a whole world of thoughts, hopes, fears, and unspoken wishes, a world they rarely know how to express.

In the aftermath of the recent Hong Kong fire incident, the world saw tragedy, but the families of the victims felt something far deeper, something words can barely hold. For them, the news wasn’t just another headline. It was the moment their lives split into “before” and “after.”

Many elderly parents face a quiet struggle. They don’t want to socialise because they dislike certain behaviours or conversations, yet they also dislike being alone, where thoughts can spiral and memories weigh heavily. This tension can leave them feeling stuck — isolated, frustrated, or quietly lonely.

When was the last time you paused and asked yourself what truly makes a family feel happy? Not the big achievements, not the perfect plans — but the small, human moments that quietly fill your heart. 1. When a child laughs — did you notice how pure that sound is? Did it make you smile without even thinking? Did it remind you that happiness doesn't need to be complicated? 2. When your parents show care — do you realise how much love sits behind their small actions? The “ha

Whether you’re evaluating a future partner or strengthening the relationship you’re already in, here’s a practical checklist that highlights what truly matters when building a life side by side.

We live in a world designed to distract us. Social media feeds, livestream shopping, and endless promotions constantly pull at our attention. Before we realize it, we are buying things we don’t need, spending money we hadn’t planned to spend, and filling a temporary emotional gap instead of making intentional choices.

Sometimes, the joy of family lives in the simplest sound, such as your child’s genuine laughter. That little voice that fills the home reminds you that love isn’t complicated; it’s pure, honest, and full of wonder. The way they run to you, the sparkle in their eyes when they feel safe, these are moments no noise should ever drown out.

When your child does something that feels off, whether it’s a messy choice, a clumsy mistake, or a confusing reaction, it’s easy to respond with, “Why like that?” or “Cannot, wrong already.”

When Love Becomes an Illusion Sometimes, we don’t fall in love with a person, we fall in love with our perspective  of them. It’s easy to imagine who they are based on our expectations, desires, and ideals. We project our hopes and paint their character in the colors we prefer. But this image, as comforting as it feels, isn’t the truth. When we love from illusion, we fall for what we expect , not what exists . We may start comparing the real person to the one we imagined, a

Being single is often misperceived as being lonely. The truth is, loneliness is not about relationship status—it is a mindset. You can enjoy your own company, explore your passions, and build meaningful connections with friends, family, and community. Being single offers freedom to grow, reflect, and prepare yourself for a healthy, fulfilling partnership when the right person comes along.

Time is one of the few resources you cannot replenish. Yet, the ability to free up your time is not about luck—it is about conscious decisions. Choosing when and how to allocate your hours empowers you to focus on what truly matters. Those who actively design their schedule experience more control, less stress, and greater clarity in life.

Bullying in schools rarely begins with loud confrontations. More often, it starts quietly, with silent acceptance by those who notice but choose not to act. The danger lies not only in the words or actions of the bully but also in the permission granted through silence. Parents need to ask—could my child be enduring this in silence?
