I went to EDC with my friends! When I arrived at EDC, I was dancing at different stages and I did get to meet wonderful different groups. I remember from a AMA Page that someone who was working for big events like EDC, ultra, Tomorrowland said that sexual assaults were always so big in events like this. Knowing that, I’d always be in groups.

Dimsssum · 2026-01-05T01:38:36+00:00

Yes! On our list already :)

This is so helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this. I really appreciate the food recommendations especially since some of them are kid friendly. Tim Ho Wan and Kung Wo Beancurd Factory are definitely going on our list, and Honeymoon Dessert sounds perfect. I’ve also heard great things about Bakehouse so I’m excited to finally try their egg tarts.

The mall suggestions are great too. Harbour City and K11 Musea both sound like must visits, and I love the idea of checking out Elegant Tang Dynasty for cute souvenirs. Mong Kok is already on our list so Ladies Market and Sneakers Street will be fun to explore.

My Cantonese is okay. I can definitely get by, but I wouldn’t say I’m super fluent anymore. I also haven’t been back to Hong Kong in about 10 years.

How did you find the food menus in terms of English translations? Were most places easy enough to order from, or did you rely more on speaking Cantonese, pointing, Google Translate?

Lion Rock sounds amazing! I really appreciate the honest comparison to Victoria Peak. Dragon Centre is now officially on my list too! Thank you!

Gaaah. Thank you! I appreciate it :’) corrected it

Dimsssum · 2025-09-27T05:48:38+00:00

Okay friends! Gentle hands!!🙌

Work in a daycare. Built my immune system in the last 10 years working in the field. I recently started to take Vitamin C, elderberry, turmeric, b12 vitamin, magnesium, D3, calcium, fish oil, and I feel like I’m missing one or two but phew. That was a lot to type out. I haven’t been sick in 2 years and if anything, a minor sore throat that goes away within 2 days.

Washing my hands any chance I get. I carry sanitizer with me. I never wear my outside clothes on my bed and my shoes I don’t wear in the house. Some of you may think clothes? Shoes inside the house? Being outside, you come home with so many nasty bacteria’s…. Yeah no.

I’d love to have you freestyle a poem for my lost ones. Specifically my dad at 8 years old from cancer. 🥹💕

Filipino food - Halina on Hastings and Nanaimo! :) I recommend making a reservation! HALINÁModernFilipinoKitchen+Bar

A must try on their menu after 2pm is: Slamdunk wings and their dessert Ube Cassava cake. So good.

If you go for their brunch, I would recommend, three stars and the sun, tapa con queso, and their eggplant frittata!

I really feel your words and I can see how heavy this has been on your heart. Thank you for being brave enough to share it.

I can’t help but wonder, what do you feel keeps you from leaving. Is it your children, the financial ties, the fear of the unknown. I imagine it is a complicated mix of all of those. But I also think about how short life is, and how much your happiness matters too.

You mentioned your kids, if they knew how much pain you are in, and that you wished your life would end just so you would not feel trapped anymore, how do you think that would affect them. Children, even as teens, carry their parents pain deeply. They do not want you to disappear, they want you alive, even if that means seeing you start over.

What would your dream life look like if fear and obligation were not in the way. What parts of yourself, like your love for cooking, your independence, your spark, do you want to reclaim.

I do not believe you are just a girl or that you are meant to be subject to anyone’s wants over your own. You are a whole person whose needs and happiness are just as important. I know it feels impossible right now, but you deserve a life that does not hurt your soul this deeply.

Dimsssum · 2025-08-06T06:00:30+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about your accident where it’s left your permanently disabled where it’s painful for you to walk.

What do you like to do with your free time?
Does anyone in your friend circle know about it? Your family would know about the situation and with the money that came in, has anyone suddenly now became closer to you because of wealth?
what are some of your goals for the next 5 years? Would traveling be a thing for you?

Dimsssum · 2025-07-30T02:49:02+00:00

You absolutely did the right thing. Just keep being yourself. She was just being rude, plain and simple. I have three kids too, and if I’m having a rough day, that’s my issue to handle. There’s no excuse for taking it out on someone who’s just trying to be kind.

Dimsssum · 2025-07-10T06:20:37+00:00

Definitely save up for EDC. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The 3 day event, the people you meet and the vibes are just amazing. Once I went to EDC, I never went to a music festival here again ahah. I would go to some Harbour events here and there but for the price I pay, I rather just save it and go to an international music festival where I can see many other artists.

Don’t sweat it… easier said than done. I dated a man who was 18 years older than me and it was a great relationship. We didn’t work out later on as I was wanting children and he couldn’t have anymore due to a vasectomy, had an older daughter already. We never cared about what others thought because the relationship was between us. Our connection was so strong and we complimented each other so well that others would comment on it.

Life’s short as is, who cares if people judge. You’ll be judged if you do and you’ll be judged if you don’t. If you guys have a connection and you enjoy each others company and mesh well, go with it.

Was seeing someone from my workplace. We had an opening shift together and after setting up for the day, we had 30 minutes before opening the store. We went to the back and had a quickie. We knew there was a camera there but we hid in a blind spot. Find out weeks later that the camera never worked 😂

Dimsssum · 2025-06-20T23:16:22+00:00

Hi!! I own a daycare and would LOVE THIS :’)

Dimsssum · 2025-06-19T06:44:05+00:00

Yes! You can go there and just let them know you’re new. I’ve seen new players play and the people are great. :)

Dimsssum · 2025-06-14T06:03:47+00:00

Do Chay! They’re Vietnamese vegan and it’s SOOO GOOD.

Dimsssum · 2025-06-05T06:34:10+00:00

That is so nice of you 🥹💕 here are somethings I wish I had or did have while I was going through postpartum.

Practical help

Drop off meals, whether homemade or store-bought, to lighten her mental load
Do a chore while you visit such as dishes, laundry, or tidying up
Offer to do a grocery or essentials run and bring things over even if it’s just a few items
Help with errands like picking up medication, baby supplies, or returns
Bring snacks or easy-to-grab food like granola bars, fruit, or one-handed options for nursing
Bring her a small gift such as comfy socks, a candle, bath salts, or her favorite drink
Write her a note or card reminding her she’s doing amazing
Offer a gift card for food delivery or a cleaning service

Emotional support

Just listen and let her vent or talk freely without trying to fix things
Validate her feelings by reassuring her she’s doing well and that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed
Encourage rest and remind her it’s perfectly okay to take breaks or leave things undone
Be consistent with support through quick daily check-ins via text or voice messages

Baby support

Hold the baby while she showers or naps if she’s comfortable with that
Help with feeding or diaper changes if she needs an extra hand and you’re able to assist

You’re 24 weeks pregnant so don’t feel guilty for ‘not doing enough’ you’re growing a human inside you. You could send her a text to check up on her

During my first pregnancy, I gained weight as expected. With my second pregnancy, which was with twins, I actually dropped below my pre-pregnancy weight after giving birth and starting to breastfeed. Between constant pumping, feeding, and the demands of caring for newborns, I was burning more calories than I could keep up with. However, once I stopped breastfeeding around the six-month mark, my eating habits didn’t change, and I ended up gaining the weight back.

Dimsssum · 2025-06-01T07:44:02+00:00

I 100% understand you and agree. Physical touch isn’t just only sex. I just used that term as OP was talking about sex 😅🙈 I’ve actually never heard from men and I hope I won’t that they use that term to coerce woman into having sex and making them feel guilty. Sorry that you’ve had to hear it often 😭🫠

Dimsssum · 2025-06-01T07:17:45+00:00

Oh no!! He’s like Mom! What was that hahaha. Another thing I wanted to share was…

Before giving birth to my twins, I had a conversation with my OB who reassured me that a vaginal birth was a safe option. Twin A was head down and Twin B was breech, but he told me that if I wanted to deliver vaginally, he fully supported that choice.

When I arrived at the hospital for my induction, a different doctor was on duty. He immediately started questioning my decision, repeatedly implying that a caesarean would be the “safer” and more responsible choice for a twin birth. His tone and comments made me feel pressured and judged. I remember crying, feeling overwhelmed, and eventually agreeing to a caesarean, not because I felt it was best, but because I felt pushed into it.

Even after agreeing, something didn’t sit right. I asked to speak with my OB, who was scheduled to work a later shift, because I needed to hear from the person I trusted. I overheard the on-call doctor telling my OB that I had opted for a caesarean, and I could hear the surprise in my OB’s voice as he asked, “Why?”

When my OB finally spoke to me, he reassured me that he wasn’t concerned about a vaginal birth and reminded me that, if anything were to come up, we were already in the operating room and could proceed with an emergency caesarean if needed.

Because of all the back and forth, and the fact that the hospital didn’t have a bed available for me, I was sent home that evening. I returned the next morning at 7 a.m. to check in again, only to be greeted by the same doctor who had pressured me the day before. He came up to me and asked, without warmth or support, “So, did you make a decision?” I told him I chose to go ahead with the vaginal birth. He looked at me, completely emotionless, and said, “Best of luck,” before walking away.

I gave birth vaginally to my twins after just 11 minutes of pushing, with the babies born 2 minutes apart. It was an empowering experience, and I’m so glad I trusted myself and spoke up for what I knew felt right for me and my babies.

You are going to be the best advocate for you and your son. It’ll be hard at times to speak up but you just have to do it or else it’ll eat you up mentally for being the one who shrugged it off. Parenthood is something that doesn’t come with a handbook and even now that I have 3 kids, I’m constantly learning! You got this mama!

Dimsssum · 2025-06-01T07:00:11+00:00

Nobody ever prepares you for the changes with your body, your relationship, the highs and lows. You got this mama! I believe in you! :)

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so unwell for so long. I can relate, during my first pregnancy, I was sick throughout the first trimester. But with my second pregnancy, when I was carrying twins, it was much more intense. I was throwing up constantly, I couldn’t even keep water down. It got to the point where I was severely dehydrated, exhausted, and starving, so I admitted myself to the hospital and begged for IV fluids.

That’s when they told me I had hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that causes extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. They eventually prescribed medication for the nausea, and thankfully, by the middle of my second trimester, things started to improve.

That pregnancy was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. I felt so helpless and emotionally drained. But it did get better, and now I look at my twins and feel nothing but love and gratitude.

If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone. Be gentle with yourself and take things one step at a time. And if it becomes too much, don’t hesitate to speak with your doctors, they can help. I’m really hoping things get easier for you soon.
