❤️ About

Welcome to #CeritaMak!

Who Am I?

I'm a mom of four great kids. I'm also a storyteller, a lifestyle writer, and a 🐝 queen of multitasking who loves juggling lots of things at once (Thanks to my ADHD). My life is a mix of being a mom, working, and doing what I love ❤️, a whole lot of dreams and #CeritaMak is my platform for sharing my adventures with you. Oh, and I love a good cuppa! ☕️

✨ What Is #CeritaMak?

This is my digital playground 🛝 where I spill all the tea (or should I say, kopi? or kadang-kadang teh sarbat) 🫚 about motherhood, life, and everything in between. Expect real talk, laughter, and maybe even a few tears 😄😭. I'm here to create a space where moms can connect, share stories, and realize they're not alone in this parenting journey. Here, you’ll find a blend of heartfelt stories ❤️‍🔥 (including rants and rambling), practical tips, and a glimpse into my colorful life 🌈. My writing covers a wide range of topics and emotions. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes serious, sometimes skema lagi formal like I'm writing a medical journal — high chances are it guest/paid post, obviously. 📝 And sometimes sad. But through it all, I learn and grow, and that's what's important. The ups and downs are just part of the journey; it's how we deal with them that makes the difference. 🌱

Our Mission and Values

At #CeritaMak, we believe in the ✨ power of authenticity, family, and community. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Our mission is to provide a warm and approachable space where mothers (and woman!) can feel understood and supported 🤗. This is a safe space where we can share the ups and downs of motherhood without judgment. Through my stories and experiences, I aim to evoke feelings of nostalgia, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Whether you’re looking for parenting tips, lifestyle inspiration, or just a good laugh, #CeritaMak is here for you. 

What Makes Us Unique?

What sets #CeritaMak apart is our hyper-local approach. Living in 📍 Johor Bahru gives us a unique perspective on parenting and lifestyle, allowing us to offer content that is both relatable and specific to our community. Our bilingual twist means you can enjoy our stories in Malay or English – whichever floats your boat! We're your friendly neighborhood mom squad, sharing the ups, downs, and everything in between of life in this vibrant city. 🌆

Our Tone and Style

Imagine hanging out with your BFF, sharing stories over coffee. That's the vibe we're going for. We're all about casual chats, inside jokes 🤣, and the kind of language you'd use with your besties 💃🏻. From hilarious parenting fails to the joys of finding the perfect nasi lemak (alone, eating without kids), we're spilling the tea on everything Johor Bahru (or #PasirGudang) mom life.

Thank you for being here and sharing this journey with me. Let's celebrate life, love, and live in the moment, together. 🎉💖

Lots of love - XOXO (and coffee),

Mak Lin
