Strange Habits
That Make My Life Harder Than It Has To Be Inspired by Sheryn, I thought I’ll do the same list she did. So I wanted to evaluate myself and find out where I can improve on. These are my strange habits that make my life harder […]
“Kaunta seki”
There’s something about eating by myself that gives me joy. And peace. I love doing things on my own. It’s time like this that makes me feel complete. This ramen bowl was really delicious. It had the right saltiness and texture. The chicken was grilled […]
The Best Things That Happened in 2021
A lot has happened this year, we survived another year of the COVID-19 pandemic and we tried to make the most of living. I’d like to believe that I have been using this time to look inward a lot more and trying to make positive […]
The Best Things That Happened in 2017
Every year I write about the best things that happened that year. This is going to be hard this time around because I used to rely on my posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for it. This year, I barely posted anything online (on purpose), […]

That Time I Did Stand-Up Comedy
Last year, I did the unthinkable, went on stage, in front of about 50 strangers (I might be exaggerating a bit, although it felt like there were thousands in that room), and did stand-up comedy. Me doing stand-up comedy was funnier than my material. I […]
Happy New Year, 2016
The new year is around the corner, I wish you all the best this 2016! And remember, you don’t always have to color within the lines. Live your life a bit more dangerously, love yourself more, and don’t forget to pick up a book or […]
Turning 30
I’m turning thirty in two days and here are some of the things I learned or realised last year. You must try to listen to your body more and give it a break. When people leave, let them go. Don’t forget to listen to your […]
2016 Resolutions
While I have so many things to be thankful for this year, I also cannot wait for it to be over. To be honest, I also want to skip 2016. I hope 2016 becomes the year where I get to fulfill all my wishes and keep […]
