Corporate servant at day, blogger at night, mommy every day, chef's wife for life. A self-taught artist, I reflect and write about my life experiences and explore art inspired by nature.

Procrastination.

Posted on November 10, 2021May 4, 2025 by chefswifediary

Twenty four hours a day, minus eight hours of sleep and the breaks needed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we are constantly rushing and short of time for what we set out to do. Time is ticking, time is precious. Yet, why are we still led by procrastination? Think, feel, do is a common behavioural…

those were the days

Those were the days.

Posted on November 6, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Reminiscing childhood life, days were carefree. Mess was encouraged, faults were forgiven. Despite told what not to do, imagination was spree. Those were the days, almost forgotten. . . . Reflecting today, bound by commitments. Problems are not to play, troubles have price to pay. Being tailed what to do, imagination challenged to zero. These…

Blogging is not writing.

Posted on November 3, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

A newsletter came in today. It talks about the proliferation of blogs in recent years and why they failed in a short span of time. Intrigued, mainly because my blog hasn’t been very successful since 2018. I envy those blogs with over a thousand followers and anticipate mine to be as successful in days to…

On the edge.

Posted on October 21, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Why are we afraid of expressing what we think or feel? Unmasking our true self is one of the hardest thing to do. Simply because we are concern about how others may perceive, react or judge on what we think or feel. We are also conscious over the implication of our actions on others. Subject…

Fear of judgement.

Posted on October 16, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Have you ever thought of writing something and eventually wrote nothing about it? A couple of thoughts came through my mind this week. They could be something worthy to write about. Somehow, I missed them due to fear of judgement. It’s a pity. Suppressing my thoughts defeats the purpose of having this blog. I used…

Ain’t no mountain high enough.

Posted on September 27, 2021July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Work has always been on the forefront since I left tertiary. Work to live or live to work, I no longer could tell the difference. Coming from Asia where only hard work pays, self-development is key to compete with the ocean of talents out there, not to mention global. I could still remember the debate…

Writing marathon.

Posted on September 14, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Restarting my momentum in writing, I decided to throw a writing marathon on myself this week as a challenge. One post a day, can I make it? “What should I write about today?” and “Where do I begin?” are the common questions that lead us into writing procrastination. No doubt, asking the right questions can…

Start writing.

Posted on September 13, 2021May 4, 2025 by chefswifediary

I want to start writing everyday. When I woke up this morning, my first thought was about my deserted blog. I started my writing journey in 2018 with this blog. I used to write up to 3 posts in a week. It was like a marathon. I was very determined and passionate about writing something…
