#Bedtime stories and light hearted short tales.
As a little Nonya girl, I had a happy childhood in Katong in my grandfather's house. As the only child, I was lonely, though my Ah Kong (grandfather), uncle and my parents doted on me. Sunday's the highlight of my week. That's when the entire extended family congregates at my grandpas. My cousins and I would have a blast. It's only when I grew up and had to face harsh realities in life that I truly appreciated the childhood I had. These short stories, capture the heart of my childhood and precious moments in life that I'll always treasure.

Little Nonya Escapades
#Elementary School Days.
My late daddy was my teacher but I was no angel. I'm calling this a work of fiction because most of the names have been changed, though the embarrassing events remain. This pays homage to my elementary school which has already closed down. Guillemard East Primary School lives on in our memories and through this book.

Short Stories of God's Mercy in one woman's life.
I married out of the Peranakan community and moved away from the clan. So it's no longer about the nonya baba culture. The 7 stories in these books are memories of God's miraculous rescues as I blundered through life.
