The pure love of academic studies runs deep in the past generations in my family. Even though I have never met my paternal granddad who passed away before I was born, I get to appreciate his talent of art and language through his work around my hometown (a small town in Malaysia, Malaya at that time in the South China Sea). He was a well known scholar in the town at that era, for his love of Chinese calligraphy and literature. He had been frequently commissioned to write for the temples, and also the clan houses and clubs. At that time due to poverty and lack of opportunity, my granddad did not had the chance to go to university, but that had not stopped him from continuing his passion for Chinese art and literature.

I feel so lucky and blessed for the chance and encouragement given to travel internationally- UK and Australia, to pursue my study and continue my doctorate and specialist career in medicine. I do love the science and art in reproductive medicine and pregnancy health. Looking after small little embryos, using science, technology and wholesome lifestyle advice nurturing them into healthy beautiful babies for the families that I care for.

It is especially humbling to be reminded that I have looked after a number of families for many years. Sometimes families are blessed with quite a few children under my care over a few years; at other times the long timeframes are due to the long and difficult journeys of fertility matters, with a few heartbreaking miscarriages in between. It is a privilege and also very special to experience the joy when we have a healthy beautiful baby in the parents' arms for the family.

I feel so lucky to have such a great job.

Brief visit to the 1st women's hospital in China, started in 1899. It is humbling to learn that women's health is being deemed important from more than a century ago.

It's time of the year again. As always I am still humbled by the kindness & support from the loveliest patients and colleagues at Subiaco and Genea Perth

Time flies, I have been busy looking after patients mostly. Trying to spend some time with family too and the year has gone by quickly.

A couple of events that make me remember the year 2025:

# ankle early in the year and scooted around the hospital in my knee scooter. Thankfully I made a quick recovery.

After the recovery I decided to attend regular gym sessions wilson fitness studio and also reformer pilates at Club Pilates. Managed to lose 6kg, I am the lightest I have ever been in my whole life. It is hard work to keep going but I love my food too much so I have to burn some fat and calories!! It is also fun to see my fitness improves and muscles grow, haha.

I lost my daddy a few weeks ago in early December. He is dearly missed. Dad was always my biggest supporter, and since young had thought me the importance of giving my all in my job to provide the best quality results.

On the morning I learnt of his passing, I continued to look after my patients before flying home to my childhood town in Malaysia that evening. That morning I also delivered a gorgeous baby; I dedicated that day's work to him knowing how proud he was for the job I am doing. I am proud of you too for being my dad.

And yes, despite being oncall I managed to attend the SJOG Subiaco Soiree. It was fun (as photos) to catch up with the management team and medical colleagues.

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope 2026 is a fabulous year for everyone. Quite a few of my patients are spending the 1st Christmas with their new additions in the families. It is really heartwarming thinking of that, some of them have gone through many years of fertility and pregnancy journeys. I do love my job so will keep going for quite a few years.

Thank you for spending the year 2025 with me!
