Ruthless

Posted on July 31, 2019 by chefswifediary

It was three months ago since I last saw you.Ā 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

Posted on July 27, 2019July 12, 2024 by chefswifediary

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?…

Live Life

Posted on July 21, 2019July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Peeking sunshine, through cloudy sky. Breezy wind, flowing by whistling trees. Birds chirping, along peaceful stream. Eyes closed, breath deep. Yesterday’s mess, let it all be gone. Harmonised to surrounding, enjoy the livings. Welcome inner voice, rearrange thoughts. Never mind the complication, put away hesitation. Life is a journey, not just a destiny. Alive we…

appreciation, two way

Take for granted.

Posted on July 20, 2019November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

ā€˜Take for granted’ is an easy phrase and it is also an easy action to take. According to Collins’ English Dictionary, it means to take advantage of without due appreciation. We witness this in our daily life but was not further magnified out of respect given to relationships – Relationship with friends, relatives, and families….

resilience

I am a resilient woman.

Posted on July 12, 2019November 22, 2025 by chefswifediary

I neither expect abundance of love, nor less love. It’s just confusing to encounter unproportional love. I used to think I am weak, susceptible to all sorts of emotions and deserved less. All because I couldn’t comprehend and withstand the nature of tears cooking up in my eyes in times of trouble. We are what…

Take a break, be kind.

Posted on July 5, 2019November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

Here comes the day of week when everyone goes ‘Friyay‘! All because we are accustomed to Friday being the last day of work week, it sends a big relief for most of us that tough week is about to over, and marking the beginning of weekend of course! It’s not because we dislike our job….

back on track

Satisfaction that counts.

Posted on July 4, 2019 by chefswifediary

After weeks of being under the weather, I finally set my foot back on the treadmill this morning. Snoozing thrice from 7am to 7.10am to 7.20am across two mobile phones, kicking myself up involved putting an end to the last scene of my dream, and raising my feet in the air for a quick blood…

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. Pass by the same entrance everyday, today is one of those days when I stopped to deliberately observe the regular signage pinned on the wall next to the automated glass door. “Weird, the brand logo doesn’t look right. It looks like it’s…

Posted on June 28, 2019November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

Living 18 years under parents supervision (some even more), we are taught there are only few ways in approaching life. Approaches that are safe, proven by the experienced from their experiences, and…nothing could go wrong if we follow the similar recipe. There is no wrong to this, because parents feel responsible to keep us from…
