fear of missing out

Fear of missing out.

Posted on December 21, 2021April 22, 2025 by chefswifediary

Nine months away from the corporate world, something that I never thought would exist in my diary is happening today. It’s the fear of missing out that is playing on my mind. Work is a part of life. It’s pointless to discuss about the symbiosis of ‘work to live or live to work.’ Evidently, the…

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…

courage

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…

Stop. Start. Reset.

Posted on September 8, 2021May 4, 2025 by chefswifediary

Stop. Start. Reset. This has been my favourite motto since four months ago. Discovering my new motherhood life has been fascinating. I couldn’t believe how much my life has changed since the last trimester. Weighed about 13.4 stones, I was pampered with the amount of snacking, napping, and comedies until that one night when my…

Journaling.

Posted on April 20, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Notebooking or journaling as some may call it, is making a comeback. Thanks to hectic lifestyle with no distinct line between work and home. Many have started prioritising mental health by allocating some down time for mindfulness practices. There are various ways in which one can adopt mindfulness practices to express his or her feelings,…

Finding myself.

Posted on April 15, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Have you ever craved for an opportunity and when that opportunity appears right in front of you, you just didn’t know what to do with it? For over a decade, I’ve been longing for a well deserved break as a step-back away from daily mundane rat-race to reassess my life from scratch. Not sure if…
