Chasing the soaring waves.

Posted on April 22, 2020July 12, 2024 by chefswifediary

I could still remember the fresh air that breezley touched my face. It was one of the ten days escapade that my partner and I impromptuly decided to venture. We were not supposed to be here; it was supposed to be up north that we had planned for six months. Not that we’re fickled, it…

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” – Friedrich Nietzsche. Attributed to the German philosopher, this quote is probably one of the most effective motivational quotes of all time. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon. Perhaps it’s best not to measure life with who and who are born with a golden spoon. Materials…

We all started from somewhere.

Not everyone is born a genius. Everyone has got to start from somewhere. Although there are many writers who became successful at young age, there are also some who didn’t get famous until they’re in their mid-30s or more. J.K. Rowling is one of them (Famous Writers) “The only genius that’s worth anything is the…

The one who knows the most.

Posted on April 7, 2020 by chefswifediary

We develop values and beliefs of our own since adolescent years.  Based on what we learned and experienced, we formed opinions – opinions that we hold dearly to protect. It’s easy to debate over opinion differences at home. Mostly because we expect parents and siblings within a small circle to understand. Having said that, even…

Success will come around.

“What goes around comes around” was meant to remind people on the consequences of own actions which will eventually come back haunting for them. Nethertheless, I have a slightly different interpretation. When I was 23, I took a chance to compete on national television. It was an epic entrepreneurial experience that no one that I…

I’ve been away. 30 days since I left Asia. New beginning, new life for my partner and I. It has been an ongoing episodes of learnings since the day we signed up for this new venture. It was just a thought in the beginning – just to get ourselves out there and experience the unknown….

How do you feel?

Posted on February 9, 2020 by chefswifediary

Feelings are abundance. Sometimes candid, sometimes strange. Hardly ever stop and impossible to capture. Often overlooked, they are effortlessly presumed. Come and go like swoosh in the wind, condensing feelings without any effort in recognising them can only lead to one word, ‘complicated’. “Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?” ― Leo…

Success from inside out.

To achieve bigger things in life, we must first begin with the smallest details. A quote that I hold true for the past thirteen years.
