Gone are the days when Internet is a value-added option to our lives. It is now one of the necessities of life. With increasing apps creation, society is encouraged to become more superficial than ever. Physical interaction is gradually being replaced with virtual interaction. Talking is replaced with texting (it is no wonder voice calls…

Ushered the year with a string of hopes. It’s unlike used-to-be when there were Top 10 new goals. After years of hustle she enters a juncture. A realisation of life that is only half-lived. Some people admit to life as it is. Routine is all right for it provides tranquillity. No risk, no headache, but…

How to take your mind off of crazy world?

Posted on November 16, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Painting, seems to appeal to limited group of people. Perhaps it’s the thought of having to be perfect that hesitates one from painting. Perhaps it’s the judgemental world that one is afraid of. Perhaps it’s the criticisms one is fearful of. Perhaps being associated to painting are considered quirky, introvert or unfriendly because one is…

I miss him.

Posted on October 27, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

I woke up this morning, crawled my left hand to the left side of the bed, to feel if he’s there. “Not there. Isn’t it Sunday yet?” I must be dreaming. As usual, he’s up earlier than me. I got up, put on my bedroom slippers and pair of glasses, switched off the standing fan,…

Hustle, bustle… if they come without passion, what am I aiming for? Constantly thinking, constantly trying to find the meaning to life. I can’t help but emphasise how important it is to keep focused and reminded on our goals. If they ain’t clear, then clear them. If they are easily forgotten, then maybe the goals…

How far does fame bring me?

Posted on August 22, 2018November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

How is the world out there?
