It’s nearing Christmas, and Jeanette Joyce Perkins’ home in Kuala Lumpur is bursting with activity. The sounds of South Korean band BTS’s Butter (Holiday Remix) is playing from her smartphone, and the smell of freshly baked pineapple tarts wafts from her kitchen, filling the air.
The spacious apartment has been decked out for Christmas, with festive ornaments and other adornments in this year’s Christmas colour theme of silver, white and red. There is an array of sweet treats neatly arranged in a three-tier serving tray and she’s spruced up her table decorations with a tasteful centrepiece.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
