Ever been to a concert and wonder what's it's like backstage? And wished you can have a peek? Well, the venue of the last Championships I attended has played host to many a big concert held in Taipei.

I was interviewed by Bernama a few days ago. Was all jittery cos...horror of horrors...it was to be conducted in Bahasa Malaysia 😢😢!!!! And let's just say that my command of that language is not exactly

Today's blog is not about ice skating . Nor is it about my son. But it does have something to do with ice ....naturally, abuden?? . It also has to do with a broom and a stone !! Any guesses??? Pretty obvious?

I have been off the radar for a whole 4 months ! Let me re introduce myself again......I am an ice skater mom...as my name suggests..(abuden?) and my passion is ice related sports , in particular figure

The dust has settled after the SEA Games ....ever wonder what happens behind the mysterious wall that divides the athletes and the audience?? And how a skater prepares for the short few minutes on the

Alright, at this juncture, I have to confess that my life isn't only about ice skating. Amongst the few ( yes, I am boring) other passions that I have, 2 in particular stand .....errr..a better word would

I didn't want to number this as 4 ( pantang pantang.... also it's Hungry Ghost month....lol) But mainly because I want to say something about post #3. Something was nagging at me all last night cos I kept
