Travelling to Cat-city (Day 2) : Sarawak Cultural Village & Santubong National Park

4:11 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
We pushed off to Sarawak Cultural Village on the very next morning after we've had our breakfast and a quick yoga session at the yoga studio (yes, Nanga Damai has a yoga studio with a breathtaking view! I love the fact that I'm able to still have a little bit of proper yoga practice during my trip, so thank you for booking this...

Travelling to Cat-city (Day 1) : Nanga Damai, Santubong

12:09 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
When I think of Sarawak, I think of it's mix culture, kuih lapis, and laksa Sarawak. Oh and definitely midin. Midin's my top favorite. Little did I know that there's more than that to Sarawak. The museums, cat statues, the untouched nature, gula apong ice cream, mee kolok, beautiful mosques, the toll-free streets, the friendliness even those with full-on tattoo (I mean tbh...

Toddlers get cradle cap too!

1:34 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
My second born - Sofia has some funky looking scales on the top of her head ever since she came out of me. Cradle cap it was, and still having it now at almost 2 years of age. It never really went away since then. I thought it was partly due to her minor eczema when she was an infant, where she suffered...

Jog around the neighborhood

1:07 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
I made myself jog around the neighborhood last Sunday evening. It was just a little less than 1km to complete a full round (yes, my neighborhood is such a small community) so I pushed myself to try doing at least two rounds. I managed to do only one and a half round (that's about 1.5km on my first jog ever this year) before...

Starting my Yoga journey - for real

1:22 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
True confessions.. I used to think of yoga just as a stretching exercise along with a little meditation. I also thought that people who does yoga are flexible, and I am far (with a capital F.A.R) from it. Not very yogic of me, I know. Since I've bought some new workout gears the other day and have yet to use it (because I...

But princess doesn't have chicken pox

3:31 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
I thought we are done with the chicken pox virus in the house. I thought wrong. Mayesa has been telling me about her itchy and stingy tongue for the past couple of days, and I thought it was from the seafood dinner we had the other night. I thought wrong, again. I cleaned up the room she slept in since there were a...

In trying to get my youth back - what was I thinking?

6:23 PM / BY Hana Jaffar
I just turned 32. To be honest, I can't even remember how old I am that I had to actually do a little math to have it figured out. I even double confirmed my age with my husband, who's the same age as I am (now did you know we were actually classmates in primary 1, seated next to each other in class?...
