50 and beyond

The mundane life of an over 50-year-old blogger


About Me

I started this blog because I turned 50 in 2023.

The lifespan of the average Singaporean woman in 2022 is 85.9 years. So, technically, I crossed my mid-life seven years ago when I turned 42.95 years old. Yicks!

I am Singaporean. I am happily married and have two sons. This year, the older son turns 21, and the younger, 17.

It is not easy to describe the role I play in my family. I don’t cook, but I need to make sure there is good food on the table. I don’t do housework, but I am responsible for the upkeep of our home. I earn pittance from my free-lance work, but I manage our household budget and expenditure; when my kids want $$, they come to me!

This blog site is a very loose journal of my mundane life and random thoughts. Perhaps some snippets of my life can be captured for posterity.

So, welcome to my world. I hope I can bring you some joy, laughter and insight into my life.

About Me

I turned 50 last year! I used to think that 50 is middle-aged, but actually, since the life expectancy for females in Singapore is around 86, I have already lived more than half my life span.

Similar to my old blog https://hdbtaitaidotblog.wordpress.com/, this blog is a platform where I express my observations, thought and feelings about anything that interests me.

Welcome to my ordinary world.
