About this blog

Hi there, welcome to The I’mPerfect Mom.  I’m a 30-something Malaysian mom living in Seattle, WA with my family. I have two little girls, Rae and Sky, and sometimes, I write about them. My husband, Lokes, works for Microsoft, which is why we’re here. 

I’m a writer, mainly of short stories, and was published for the first time last year in a Malaysian collection called Dark City 2, published by MPH. My second short story will appear in MPH’s Urban Odysseys later this year. I am currently writing my first full collection.

In my previous life, I was a journalist of all things IT. Believe it or not, I used to run a video game magazine ;).

I love to blog and read in my spare time. I also blog a column called Tea Leaf Journals at Seattle Mom blogs.

I like translations and English writers of different ethnicities such as Khaled Housseini, Jhumpa Lahiri, VS Naipaul, Elif Shaufik, Ha Jin, Kiran Desai, Milan Kundera and more (mostly collections of short stories - short attention span). I’m also beginning to enjoy a few American writers, namely Tom Perrotta and Irish writers like Tana French.

I  am also a hobby photographer. You can visit my Flickr or my framed art at Etsy or Imagekind.
