Freedom… but also a bit more alone This photo feels a bit special to me. The 4 of them were colleagues back then. I was their freelance designer. Working with them, but not exactly part of the team. Over time, they became friends. And I’m thankful we still stay connected and can trave

Life doesn’t pause… even when we need it to Woke up to this view this morning. City already moving. People already starting their day. No matter what’s happening in our life, everything else still continues. Yesterday I was settling things for my mum after her discharge. Today I’m in

This week… another 2 classes cancelled. Earlier, I received a message that my class on 18/4 was cancelled. Yesterday, another message came in. 20/4 and 4/5 classes… also cancelled. Just like that. Recently, I realised my classes are getting lesser and lesser. Whole of February… I d

Sometimes you just feel very small. This photo my husband took. At first glance, I couldn’t even find myself 😆 I look so tiny inside. Standing there, surrounded by such a big space. And it reminded me of something. In life, it can feel the same. We work hard. Show up every day. D

The sun was already up… even when I didn’t feel like getting up. Caught this view from my window this morning. Warm… quiet… unhurried. Today was just a simple day. Went for class. Spent time with my mum after class. Had my dinner w my hubby. Came home. Nothing big. Nothing special

Spent 4 hours waiting… and got nothing. Went for bird photography today. Everyone waiting for the Ernest’s Peregrine Falcon. It appeared the past few days. Just not today 😅 Full of photographers. All waiting. All hoping. I was even joking… maybe it went to Church today since it’s

Most people are not scared of starting… They are scared of losing money and not knowing what to do. Like stepping into something new… but feel like you might just drown inside. Money go in… but you duno how to make it work. That kind of fear… very real. That was me also. Not that

I don’t stay disappointed as long anymore. Last time, when something didn’t go well, it would stay with me for days. Keep thinking. Keep replaying. Keep feeling stuck. Even when nothing can be changed already. And when that happens, everything else gets affected. Work cannot foc

This photo popped up in my memory today. Taken last year in Rausu, Hokkaido. Out in the sea. Freezing cold. Snowing. There were hundreds of massive eagles (Stellar’s Sea Eagles and White-tailed Eagles) flying around. At one point, I didn’t even know which one to focus on. Everythi

Everything seems to happen at the same time. Today was one of those days. Class in the day. Then heading to hospital to see my mum. Moving from one place to another. Just following what needs to be done. Last time, I would feel quite overwhelmed. Like everything piling together. N

Nothing is fully settled yet. And honestly, this used to make me very uneasy. The waiting. The not knowing. The what if thoughts. Yesterday my mind was running a lot. Thinking ahead. Imagining scenarios. Trying to control things that are not even confirmed. Very tiring. I thi

Sometimes fear doesn’t come loudly. It comes quietly. While waiting. While not knowing. While everything feels a bit uncertain. Like today. Sitting there… waiting for results… and many thoughts just come in. What if this. What if that. I realised something. Fear is not alw

“Looking at this photo that popped up… I had a thought.” From the outside, nothing much changed. Still the same me. Same life. Same daily routine. But inside, quite different already 😅 Last time I was more like just do what needs to be done. Work. Settle things. Repeat. Never r

“Honestly ah, I didn’t feel like doing this 😅” Holiday somemore… who will think of going gym right? 😂 My first thought was “aiya skip la” But in the end, still went up for a short run. Not long. Not intense. Just do a bit. And I realised something. These days it’s not about

Looking at this photo, drinking session with my son 😂 … I suddenly had a thought… Last time, people always say… “have children, next time got people to rely on” But nowadays… things feel a bit different. Some are trying very hard to conceive. Some only like me have 1 child. Some choose

“Was walking around Penang… then saw this 😳😂” First reaction… Such an old school dental chair. 😅 Then suddenly reminded me… 3 weeks ago, I just removed 2 wisdom teeth. That tooth has been giving me problem since July 2024. Hot, cold, normal also pain. Went for a few x-rays, asked a

Nobody really talks about this part of life. The moment when everything slows down… and U start wondering what’s next. There’s something I’ve been noticing lately… People are not really chasing big breakthroughs anymore. More like… just wanting a bit more peace of mind. The kind wh

“I didn’t realise how much this would mean to me…” This photo… was taken in the cold -10 🥶 Standing there… waiting… hands freezing… almost wanted to give up and walk away already 😅 But I stayed a while more. And when the bird finally appeared… it just sat there quietly… like it was

Took a little time to slow down today and honestly… it felt really nice to just pause 😌 Last time, I would always put myself last. Everything else more important. Everyone else first. But now… I’m learning that taking care of myself is not selfish. It’s necessary. Not everything needs

Tonight’s walk after dinner. At first… I couldn’t see my shadow. (I even looked down to check 😆) But a few steps later… it showed up. Clear as day. Walking right beside me. And it hit me. Just coz u can’t see something at the beginning… doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. A lot of
