Reflection

the forgotten gratitude

The forgotten gratitude.

Posted on January 14, 2022July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Have you been wasting your time on people who don’t deserve your time all these years? Perhaps you have been chasing for a place within a sought-after community or craving for attention that no one cares giving it to you? Perhaps self-development is never about elevating yourself but for the sake of pleasing others and…

a new beginning

A new beginning.

Posted on January 3, 2022July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Happy New Year! Which writer would want to miss writing a post in the first week of new year? A new beginning, many have eminently recapped what 2021 means for them and hoping for a better 2022. 2021, a recovery year as we tried to regain strength, pick ourselves up, and strive for some level…

baby milestones

Baby milestones tricks.

Posted on December 17, 2021April 22, 2025 by chefswifediary

Clueless about what to expect for baby milestones, I’ve caught up with many blogs or websites that have been a saviour in desperate times. Whilst many said it’s best to stick to professional advices, I suppose it’s reasonable to learn from mix of advices and experiences when it comes to anticipating baby milestones. Knowing more…

motherhood changed me

Motherhood changed me.

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

Just like that, we are now in the last month of the year. It seems like just yesterday I had a baby and today she is seven months old. Looking back, I haven’t stop one bit since my water bag broke at midnight of the 27 April 2021. Pretty chilled out, I wondered why I…

Keep striving.

When we were young, parents encouraged us to take baby steps in any possible encounter. Be it to sit, to crawl, to stand, to eat, to play, or to speak – we attempted them all  with courage. Parents gave us keys to experience ‘the world‘. ‘The world‘ is colourful and openly fascinating. For many years…

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…

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…

How I survive being a new parent?

Posted on July 20, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

My last post was five days before I went into labor. My newborn is three days to three months today. Thinking I could fill my first few weeks of maternity with journaling didn’t come into fruition. Motherhood consumes so much of me. With just a blink of an eye, she is 62cm tall today. How…

What she doesn’t know?

Posted on April 22, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Learning is endless. If one tells me that he or she knows everything, it’s beyond possible to believe. A quick google, ‘learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught.’ Talking about study, there are endless materials to read and understand. Talking about experience, there are endless possibilities for us…
