On the edge.

Posted on October 21, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Why are we afraid of expressing what we think or feel? Unmasking our true self is one of the hardest thing to do. Simply because we are concern about how others may perceive, react or judge on what we think or feel. We are also conscious over the implication of our actions on others. Subject…

Fear of judgement.

Posted on October 16, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Have you ever thought of writing something and eventually wrote nothing about it? A couple of thoughts came through my mind this week. They could be something worthy to write about. Somehow, I missed them due to fear of judgement. It’s a pity. Suppressing my thoughts defeats the purpose of having this blog. I used…

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…

How I survive being a new parent?

Posted on July 20, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

My last post was five days before I went into labor. My newborn is three days to three months today. Thinking I could fill my first few weeks of maternity with journaling didn’t come into fruition. Motherhood consumes so much of me. With just a blink of an eye, she is 62cm tall today. How…

What she doesn’t know?

Posted on April 22, 2021November 18, 2022 by chefswifediary

Learning is endless. If one tells me that he or she knows everything, it’s beyond possible to believe. A quick google, ‘learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught.’ Talking about study, there are endless materials to read and understand. Talking about experience, there are endless possibilities for us…

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,…
