@slmkhoo I totally agree with Integer—you have been one of the most helpful forum members. You always express your thoughts so clearly, and I am sure many have benefited from what you’ve shared over the years.

Thank you! I do regret that I didn’t archive some of the posts I wrote over the years on the various topics and the exchanges with various other members. Oh well, too bad.

hi Integer. Nice to see you again. I remember you! Our kids should be about the same age. Unfortunately, all the messages in our PMs were lost when the KSP forum shifted to a new platform. The forum is now so quiet. If you check the ME chat, you can still read the old messages from 2013. The old kakis’ names are so familiar. I might not have chatted with all of them, but I often read what they shared. Hopefully, the old kakis will come back or some new ones will join in.

Yup… today is 端午节。Wishing all 端午安康。How many bak zhang have you eaten? This year I have eaten quite a number, homemade bak zhang from my sil. Yummy.

Hi PiggyLalala,

I can still read some of my old posts, under my nick. Some threads showing the response still around, some gone.

I also hope all the old kakis can come back - cause I think our kids are all grown up and working, so lots of free time.

I ate 2.5 bak changs for 2 days. Just had one for dinner - homemade bak chang gifted by a good friend’s mother. Yummy. Feel so blessed.

Guess no one could expect the migration results. Unlikely for one to archive one’s posts. But I can understand your “sayangness”, cause some of your posts were lengthy with a lot of helpful advice. Mine were just chit chats, so not so “wasted” like yours.

Thanks Wonder-ful. I saw my posts but very incomplete. Only a handful of recent posts. We used to have thousands of posts.

But appreciate your help.

Back to this thread…How do you spend your me time now? These days, I spend a lot of it watching livestreams and buying all sorts of random things — all in the name of better skincare and health, haha!

Are you still working? And your kids are probably older and independent?

I am a semi-empty nester now - 1 child married and moved out, and the other at home is an adult. I volunteer 2 days a week at a non-profit (but also wfh the equivalent of another day or so when there are more things to do), and try to get the occasional freelance editing gig. Other than housework, I mostly read ebooks for leisure.

My husband has been pressing me to cut back on my volunteer responsibilities so that we can travel more frequently and flexibly - he is also a freelancer now, and my schedule is more fixed than his! I’ve been at the non-profit for years, with quite a lot of responsibility. Someone just came in to take over a large chunk of my volunteer stuff so I can do less there, but I also want to spend some time promoting the book I self-published last year and building up the website, and see where it leads. I find it hard to not have some project or “work” to do as I really don’t enjoy cooking or housework!

So - if anyone is concerned about TCKs, keen to help with my website and book promo, please let me know!

I just did a search for all my posts, and now there are posts back to 2011, which is about when I joined! Over 1600 pages of posts! When I have time (no idea when that will be!), I must look through them and archive some!

@slmkhoo
I’m still working and plan to keep going for a few more years before retiring. Our kids are around the same age but mine still staying with me. My personal time are in the evenings—usually after dinner and washing up.

Lately, I started doing simple skincare routine, thanks to all the stuff I have bought during livestreams. It is a big change from before, when I had little/zero skincare routine. Hopefully it’s not too late to see some results.

I have also started doing some core exercises to help prevent muscle loss, and I try to stretch at night to ease the usual aches and pains.
Hopefully, I have the discipline to stick with the exercises.
