Behind The Name

I like puns. I like bunnies. ‘Hop’ was the first word associated with bunnies that came to mind, then ‘Happy Hour’. The pun pretty much wrote itself. Since blogging is a way for me to unwind and decompress, it seemed fitting that the time spent should be called my hoppy hour. It was light and whimsy – perfect.

The Author

I’m Charlene, a Malaysian-born Chinese just starting out on my 30s journey. During my leisurely time, I enjoy literature, playing the violin, creating art, and spending time with my bunnies. I also love to collect things, especially bunny-themed ones.

Why I started This Blog

I was in the mood for a passion project. Blogging is one way for me to indulge my love for writing and some tangentially related activities, like cataloguing and documenting happenings and things I find interesting. As a teenager, I was a part of the web design and blogging scene. But, that was in the early 2000s, and my old sites and design capabilities have long since vanished into the digital ether.

During a period of internet-induced ennui, it became apparent that I was so busy scrolling on social media and consuming other peoples’ lives, I forgot to live my own. 

Having this little online space allows me to seek clarity and reflect through journalling. It also helps me to relive and remember special moments. I hope to one day look back on it and be able to see how far I have progressed in my journey to being true to myself. Happy reading!
