Resilience.

“The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.” – C.C. Scott Childhood shaped me. Of all the memories I’ve accumulated over thirty years, my childhood chapter is the most vivid one. I had a lovely childhood. My parents provided sufficiently. I had one-of-a kind relationship with my siblings. We had fun growing…

Knowing me, knowing you.

Posted on January 30, 2021November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

Do you take interest in knowing about people around you? Do you know what they are doing, or at least care about their interest and what they are good at? I have family, relatives, and friends who don’t know what I am doing. But I know exactly what they are doing. My classmate reminded me…

Sharing is caring.

This week, I started dedicating a few hours in exploring the topic of sustainability. A goal that I pledged for 2021 in doing something meaningful (Do something), nothing beats awareness. Sustainability topic is not a new news. We hear about it every day, especially in this part of a more mature society – Western Europe….

Do something.

Posted on January 15, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Finished a long distance phone call an hour ago with a friend. I can’t help but thinking over the grievances he shared with me about his job. Admittedly, the employment market does not look favourable at present. With increasing pandemic cases, it will take a while before recovery sign surfaces. Unfortunately, Covid doesn’t discriminate geographically…

What’s your purpose?

Posted on January 14, 2021July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Second week into 2021. Here I am, procrastinating about how’s best to make use of the next 50 weeks to come. It’s easy to come up with just about anything. Somehow, I’ve put in considerable thoughts into what I set to achieve this year compared to previous years. Perhaps I’m approaching mid-life dilemma whereby material…

2020 what it meant for us?

Posted on December 31, 2020July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Just like that, 2020 will be coming to an end in a few more hours. At the beginning, we were all excited about a ‘decade reflection‘ or ‘#10yearschallenge‘, reminiscing what we’re like 10 years ago, compared to what we’ve become today. Honestly, it was a great reflection exercise, and it reminded our story chapters in…

A slave to social media?

Posted on December 26, 2020July 19, 2024 by chefswifediary

The explosion of social media has always been a hot discussion among professionals, in terms of opportunities and impacts it can potentially bring. No doubt, the current pandemic has encouraged even more social media usage as a mean of communicating with others from home. The word ‘use‘ is not to be underestimated. In fact, communicating…

The beginning to everything.

Every experience starts from somewhere. Even a baby goes through milestones before reaching toddler’s stage. Without that first bold move, there will be no moments to share, and no story to tell. According to Tom Stafford, humans are curious in nature. We are capable of absorbing so much more from our environment with extended childhood….

The mountain that divides us.

Posted on October 13, 2020July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Summer came and gone by swiftly. Falling leaves reminded me of an attic where I used to hang out with one of my cousins. From one of the corners, we could easily hear any conversations that were going on downstairs. We were young, didn’t realise my memory was one of a kind. A huge corner-lot…
