When at home, most children would wear a T-shirt and shorts or pants – not only are they comfortable, they are also easy to move (or jump) around in. Some children don’t mind wearing hand-me-downs from their older siblings while others prefer to have their own clothes that reflect their own fashion sense. There are also many who like wearing traditional costumes such as baju kurung, cheongsam and salwar kameez, whether at home or when going out.

What is going on with fashion fans? After sweatsuits, clogs, cycling shorts and Hawaiian shirts, jean shorts are now worming their way into men's closets – proving, at least, that the rise in "ugly fashion" isn't the preserve of womenswear. Whether the denim shorts comeback is good news or bad news, that's for you to decide. But this season, men are going to have to contend with jean shorts on the fashion scene, bolstering the now-famous "dad style", which is evidently continuing to gain ground. While Bermuda shorts and swim shorts – and possibly even sports shorts – are common fashion must-haves for men, jean shorts hadn't yet managed to break through. That now seems to be merely a matter of time given the multitude of models being offered – and actively showcased – by retail brands, as well as luxury fashion houses, for the Spring/Summer 2021 season. In fact, denim shorts could be all the rage in your vacation destination this year.

June 2020: To my previous owner, the phrase “put to sleep” suggests a quiet and peaceful death, though in my case, it had a cruel sting. What did I do wrong? I loved you. You were my everything, you were my world for over seven years. Is my sin in my skin? I have atopic dermatitis and I stink like unwashed socks.

It was the worst of times, what with the raging Covid-19 pandemic, imposed social distancing and nationwide movement restrictions. How and where to get help? It looked like I was doomed but fortunately my Maker had other plans. A Greek philosopher once quoted that everything happens for a reason but then I was too emotionally confused and frightened to see it. To all my saviours, my undying gratitude and thanks.
