baby milestones

Baby milestones tricks.

Posted on December 17, 2021April 22, 2025 by chefswifediary

Clueless about what to expect for baby milestones, I’ve caught up with many blogs or websites that have been a saviour in desperate times. Whilst many said it’s best to stick to professional advices, I suppose it’s reasonable to learn from mix of advices and experiences when it comes to anticipating baby milestones. Knowing more…

motherhood changed me

Motherhood changed me.

Posted on December 14, 2021July 11, 2024 by chefswifediary

Just like that, we are now in the last month of the year. It seems like just yesterday I had a baby and today she is seven months old. Looking back, I haven’t stop one bit since my water bag broke at midnight of the 27 April 2021. Pretty chilled out, I wondered why I…

A rose or a leaf?

ā€œAnyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It’s ordinary to love the beautiful, but it’s beautiful to love the ordinary.ā€ MJ Korvan

When we were young, parents encouraged us to take baby steps in any possible encounter. Be it to sit, to crawl, to stand, to eat, to play, or to speak – we attempted them all  with courage. Parents gave us keys to experience ‘the world‘. ‘The world‘ is colourful and openly fascinating. For many years…

Migrating from WordPress.com to WordPress.org is more complicated than I thought. It costed me two weeks of writing downtime and even more, juggling with temporary and permanent domains, familiarising with new features and tools, and running back and forth with support teams to rebuilding the site. Disheartened with the absence of plugin option in basic…

Procrastination.

Posted on November 10, 2021May 4, 2025 by chefswifediary

Twenty four hours a day, minus eight hours of sleep and the breaks needed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we are constantly rushing and short of time for what we set out to do. Time is ticking, time is precious. Yet, why are we still led by procrastination? Think, feel, do is a common behavioural…

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…
