Sitback and unwind.

Posted on August 8, 2019 by chefswifediary

Day in, day out. Clock in and clock out running similar errands every single day. Even a playful little puppy has started to show sign of disinterest. We know where we are heading. Nonetheless, routine is not a choice – it’s just killing us to keep going without concessing motivation. Having a goal is pretty…

What would you say about laziness?

Posted on August 6, 2019November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

Spotted a woman at the gym who just completed her workout. She then made a phone call – specifically to instruct her helper in cleaning up her workout mess. This includes rolling up used mat and placing dumbbells back on shelf. The question is: Why bother working out in the place? Laziness is a disease….

First ever post – 6th June 2018. Learning through observation becomes even more relevant as we grow. We observe, we listen, we reflect, we think, we learn, and we do.

The best has yet to come.

A problem stated is half solved. Challenges are just temporary. Fragment them and encounter each with courage, one step at a time. With determination, with patience, we will soon get there. Believe that the best has yet to come. Photo by Frames of Life Blog

Ruthless

Posted on July 31, 2019 by chefswifediary

It was three months ago since I last saw you. Humorously, you made jokes out of serious moments we used to experience. We didn’t know why we laughed – They were not that funny before. Today, they are snippets of archives that I could occasionally call to mind. We saw it coming, but did not expect…

Bangkok, soon to be a city that never sleep. Known also as Thailand’s capital, it is a large city with population estimate of 9.7 million people.

Live Life

Posted on July 21, 2019July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Peeking sunshine, through cloudy sky. Breezy wind, flowing by whistling trees. Birds chirping, along peaceful stream. Eyes closed, breath deep. Yesterday’s mess, let it all be gone. Harmonised to surrounding, enjoy the livings. Welcome inner voice, rearrange thoughts. Never mind the complication, put away hesitation. Life is a journey, not just a destiny. Alive we…

appreciation, two way

Take for granted.

Posted on July 20, 2019November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

‘Take for granted’ is an easy phrase and it is also an easy action to take. According to Collins’ English Dictionary, it means to take advantage of without due appreciation. We witness this in our daily life but was not further magnified out of respect given to relationships – Relationship with friends, relatives, and families….
