The world’s happiest animal.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by chefswifediary

Introducing the world’s happiest animal, Quokka from Rottnest Island in Perth. A small colony and being the only member of Setonix, Quokkas are herbivorous. Always smiling, always so welcoming. Say hello to this little lookalike chipmunk, and you might even stand a chance for a warmth selfie 🥰. Photo by Frames of Life Blog

Lake Capture

2,154 miles away from home … Today, we finally found the spectacular Pink Lake. Many have asked, “How it’s possible?” Read it along our way here. Combination of Red algae presence and the lake’s solid salt created such beautiful and unique hue. Truly amazing and worth to see it for yourself! Photo by chefswifediary

A predestined escape.

Posted on August 13, 2019July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Three months of anticipation, who would have thought the getaway plan we have been waiting for came not the way we wanted to be, yet with a little twist. We literally got everything packed up to embrace humid summer for the next 2 weeks, ready to fly on the 9th August when a concerned friend…

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…

City Capture

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. A growing city with ornate shrines and vibrant street life, I truly enjoy and appreciate the well-mannered and courtesy culture of the locals. Have you been to this city?…

Passion, do you have it?

Posted on July 3, 2019 by chefswifediary

Passion, we either have it or we don’t. There is no grey line.

Musty back-to-back body odour using public transport, humidity, and invisible carbon monoxide on road can only be felt. The feeling of discomfort on our daily commute is inevitable. What are our choices? To…
