A long career rant from an introvert’s POV
You see the best part of late-night boredom is that I end up wandering from one blog to another completely forgetting what I was searching for. So I ended up doing a personality test because why not?
The capitalism of self-care
With the rise of social awareness and conscious consumerism, people are more willing to spend money on products that align with their ideologies and beliefs. The idea of feeling better and doing good has affected many industries but the majority of them had one marketing word in common: self-care. There are thousands of posts online on how to take care of your mental and physical health which is good but when these are commercialised and advertised as detox tea, expensive boot camps , cute face masks, shiny manicures, are we still talking about self-care or something else?Continue reading
The sad part of being an immigrant
There are lots of hardships in being an immigrant but there is one that never really crossed my mind.
Barcelona: Girls, beach, museums and late-night talks
I have been unexpectedly asked to join a girls-only trip by my best friend, M.’s other close friends who I have met during our undergrad years. Unfortunately, M. couldn’t make it so it was just me and her friends. I was very scared that things would turn awkward as it was our first trip together and we didn’t know each other very well Continue reading
2020 – Struggles, Goals and Lessons Learnt
Wow it is 2020… the beginning of a new decade. I have been really busy with work and I almost forgot about my blog until the annual hosting payment came through my letterbox. It is the time of the year where everyone posts about their new year goals and aspirations and here I am alone eating my favourite cheese and habanero crisps in my room still trying to figure it all out and come up with a meaningful post.

Parenthood
I recently found out about A Cup of Jo and it became one of my new favourite blogs to read every Friday. One of the recent posts I really enjoyed was “Three Words That Changed How I Parent”. Although motherhood is not on my priority list (and let’s be honest here, it is not going to be in the near future either), I often think about how I am going to raise my hypothetical kids compared to my parents.Continue reading
Plateau
Lately, I have been so uninspired and unmotivated to do anything even keeping up with this blog has been a hassle. But then I realised I only write for myself so at least I don’t have the pressure to meet anyone’s expectations here. There were so many things I wanted to post about: my thoughts, experiences, lessons but they all end up staying as a draft. I have removed so many old blog posts as suddenly I felt they weren’t up to my expectation and liking. Continue reading
What I have been watching lately on Youtube
While I tend to watch the same funny One Piece/Gintama/Naruto clips and some new recipe videos, I have “recently” found some niches that I can somehow relate to. So here is a list of topic I have been following for the past year on Youtube.Continue reading
2NE1 officially disbanded
I cannot believe I will no longer get to see the group that got me into kpop on stage back in 2010. It is such a sad case and knowing how YGE tends to work I shouldn’t have had any hopes, to begin with. The whole situation could have been handled well if there were enough cooperation and support from the company. Continue reading
