Hey there,
It’s been a while since I last wrote a review let alone pen my thoughts. Most people want to consume short-form content and enticing videos so I’ve been pretty caught up with those.
But I really miss writing.
I miss being able to sit down and pen my thoughts and opinions because writing VO (voiceover) scripts give me zero satisfaction as a trained writer. I don’t get to express how I really feel about my overall experience of a restaurant, product or a travel destination.
“Follow the trend. Do what’s current.”
That’s what I’m always told – by Jien who manages the Bangsar Babe brand and also my better half, by industry people and also the rising demand of my followers for short form content and short form videos.
Yes, I’ve transitioned. I’ve been transitioning since 2007 when I first started this online “diary”. From blogspot days to dotcom, to Facebook (now Meta), Instagram, TikTok, Threads… and (I dread) whatever new platform that’s soon to arise.
I’m now a wife, mother of three children under 7, the creative head of my agency and a content creator on Bangsarbabe.com. It’s a lot on one plate. Because juggling all these roles simultaneously is not an easy feat – it’s something I’ve yet to smoothly maneuverer. I say that because when one is juggling so many roles, it’s almost impossible (unless you’re immortal) to excel in all of them.
In a nutshell, I’m practically doing several tasks at a time. Like replying to emails while cooking / meal prep, taking a client call while picking my child up from school, or doing video edits while helping my children with their homework. And I also send them for their enrichment classes such as Chinese tuition, math, speech and drama, music, gymnastics and badminton.
People have commented that I look exhausted, but honestly, who wouldn’t be? I’m not saying I have more work than the average office worker, but keep in mind I have to take on the Bangsar Babe role as well.
Anyway, if you made it to this point, thank you for reading, It’s been a while since I got to sit down at 2am to pen down what’s going through my mind and what’s going on in life. I’m happy and content, but madly exhausted with my role as a parent!
Until next time,
Bangsar Babe

You’re a marvel, juggling the numerous roles simultaneously. Give yourself a pat on the back and keep slaying it! Happy New Year to you and family 🫶🏼
Thank you!
Charmaine was here. Hahaha Happy New Year, babe!
Same to you!
Walaw.. Time flies. Its been awhile since I last read your ‘blog’.
I am from the blogging era and yes, I enjoy reading.
Its great to hear that you have settled down with 3 kids.
Keep writing.
Thank you. Will do!
I’ve been (quietly) a reader since 2014 when I was studying in UTAR Kampar. I’d plan my trip home with suggestions of the places you’ve eaten at. Fast forward to today, I now run my own digital marketing agency that helps international brands expand into Malaysia, I’d save your reviewed places in my google map app under “makan places to try”.
I’m reminded of the many motherly figures in my life who had to juggle so much while navigating the intricacies and nuances of modern familial roles. Your 2am moments are powerful, and I hope that for every 2am that’s about to come, may it be empowering for you too.
I still love reading blogs. But they are so difficult to find nowadays. As you say, short-form content is more attractive.
