I miss him.

Posted on October 27, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

I woke up this morning, crawled my left hand to the left side of the bed, to feel if he’s there. “Not there. Isn’t it Sunday yet?” I must be dreaming. As usual, he’s up earlier than me. I got up, put on my bedroom slippers and pair of glasses, switched off the standing fan,…

Posted on October 9, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Everyone loves talking. More so when it comes to talking about their lives or themselves.  The opportunity to communicate in terms of thoughts and feelings are pivotal. Not denying that it is possibly one of the few ways an individual could signal the identity he or she wants to share with people around them. It…

I am drained.

Posted on September 12, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Hustle, bustle… if they come without passion, what am I aiming for? Constantly thinking, constantly trying to find the meaning to life. I can’t help but emphasise how important it is to keep focused and reminded on our goals. If they ain’t clear, then clear them. If they are easily forgotten, then maybe the goals…

How far does fame bring me?

Posted on August 22, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

First day of fame, it feels amazing. People love me. People adore me. People want a piece of me. Because I am being the perfect me. I didn’t want it to stop. Fame is addictive and it’s a lot of hard work. It can only grow more, not less. As long as I portray what…

When we stop looking at what’s real around us.

Posted on August 20, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

I log on to Instagram every now and then, looking for inspiration. It tickles me sometimes, and I salute people who spend extra hours beautifying pictures to be showcased to the world. It’s a full time job to create inspiration for others. Not easy. At times, I do not see them as inspiration. It can…

How is the world out there?

She wonders. It was uncommon in Asia to leave home at young age, because living with parents have always been a convenient option. She wanted to explore the city, that comes with endless possibilities. Hopping from one place to another for several years, hardly ever complacent, she wanted more. Opportunity arise when she was posted to…

Her vision, her dream.

Posted on June 18, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Up in the mountain she aims to climb, with hope she dreams to reach the sky. It seems so near but yet so far, where to begin is a question mark. A little steps to start is what it takes, the patience is absent to think of courage. Think of giving up to find an…

She dog.

She was as tiny as 6 inches in length when we first met. Overly excited she twirled into a white fluffy ball to get a heed. She jumped with her hind legs as high as she could reach, Like a circus lead to say that she is a special breed. I fell in loved instantaneously,…

Going on social network, stalking others life, and uploading updates are becoming daily norms these days.
