The birds are chirping, the flowers in mama’s garden are blooming beautifully (all 8 of them, the purple one doesn’t look so good. My prayers are with you o purple one. Try not to die) and my neighbor is doing push up on his lawn. I would have totally missed those things had I not [...]
My dad made the best Penang laksa today. No, that’s not a typo. I’m meant to say “dad”not “mum”. Hehehe sorry ma! As I was eating the laksa, I realised how restless I was at the fact that I don’t have my phone with me to listen to some podcast or watch intellectual interviews and [...]
That’s all. Felt the need to document this appreciation somewhere. Love, Nadia
Hello guys! It's Nadia here, in case you forgot my name. I know, I know I've been rather quiet these past few months, busy time for us at Pod.

The blessed month is finally here!

Hello from the most popular "home tourism" spot where you can find me at these past few days, my dining table (that also doubles as my office)! How is everyone coping with the home quarantine? I am handling it relatively well. *literally the next second* Can you believe we have crossed the first week of [...]
I have been living away from home more number of years than I did living with my parents and that's part of adulting right? Yes, but technically I didn't go through the full extent of it. Back in boarding school and uni days I lived away from home, but I never had to scout for [...]
This is waaayyyy behind schedule but you know what they say better behind schedule than never! #fashionablylate #iamposhliddat Since we are a big family, going on vacation with everyone can be a bit challenging. Which is why we've not been going away together for a while. We usually do it in batches. Sometimes all the [...]
