Things I love about Shaoxing

Things I love about Shaoxing

On weekend mornings, I wake up, get out of bed at 7am, pull out my yoga mat to start stretching before a run around my neighbourhood. As I jog, I think of the breakfast recipe I can make and would stop by to grab a coffee from my favourite shop as I head home. As 2021 is coming to a close which also marks my 6th month living in the city since the plunge I took I want to reflect on what I love…

Good bye Grandpa 爷爷

Good bye Grandpa 爷爷

At 8.00 one sunny Friday morning, a little girl sits up in bed and it is just like any other Friday when she wakes up realising the weekend is around the corner and with that it means   “Hurray! YEH YEH is coming back and I am finally going with him to the playground! “  Or the usual question her mom gets asked:   “Is it Friday already? Mom what time is YEH YEH coming back today?”  This…

Time is the best healer

Time is the best healer

It has been such a whirlwind journey since the day we decided to part ways on good terms. It wasn’t a worse break up scenario but still it hurts to the core and sometimes no matter how hard you try, the lingering moment of false hope can always hold you back from moving on. You think you have finally made it out but the next second you find yourself fall back a few steps in a downward…

To the girl who is trying to forgive herself

To the girl who is trying to forgive herself

This is to the girl who is trying so hard to let go of her past, trying everyday to make herself feel confident, the girl who is tired of hearing her heart shatter even when she totally deserves it, the girl who wakes up everyday with hope in her heart that she is going to make a difference but everything she does turns disappointing. I see you, I hear you. I just want you to know that I have…

Life lessons I have learned moving abroad

Life lessons I have learned moving abroad

Thing is, the issues we have at home we can run away from it, continue being in denial, and living our little comfortable easy life that makes us feel safe within. When you are exposed to a new environment, you gain a strong sense of clarity from the explorations of self-reflection which somehow result in changing or developing a new set of values and beliefs that are neither right or wrong…

📍Luokeng Grassland at 6.30am It was quite a challenge camping in the (late) winter but it turned out to also be incredibly rewarding and fun (still way way way better than summer!)😂😂😂 PS: The cold at night is not a joke though. Just be well prepared if you’re planning a winter camping trip. #luokeng #shaoguan #罗坑大草原 #guangdong #china #naturephotography #nature #wanderlust #explore #travelgram #picoftheday #landscape #instatravel #2021 #chinesenewyear2021 #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #罗坑 #韶关 #bestoftheday #travel #sunrise #travelgram #chinatravel #chinalife #camping #campingphotography #campingvibes #latewinter #welcomingthesummervibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYUs8bnoDK/?igshid=14qed8breopj

A Time of Perspective

A Time of Perspective

You would probably have heard about the World War I, then came the Spanish flu before the World War II and all tragedies in between that happened even before your parents were born.  They sound almost unreal and just when you about to wonder how could your grandparents survive the shockwaves around the globe at that time, you definitely did not expect a similar global pandemic come knocking at…

Strangers, again If life separates us, and we end up in totally different places, I'll always remember when our paths aligned for this period of time, and i'll be thankful for that. And i hope that, wherever we are, you will be thankful too.

Nice people finish lasting

Nice people finish lasting

Truth is, there is no such thing as nice guys or girls. There are only good decent people and these decent people sometimes get rejected and they look for a reason because we all brought up wanting to believe that being good will bring about good, but sometimes life doesn’t happen the way we want when we want.

I still believe that good things eventually will happen to good people. It’s how you…

One of the difficult - few peaks with slopes of a 80 degrees angle but the view of mountains and that hidden gem in the middle of forest is definitely worth the hike. #hikersofinstagram #wanderlust #wanderlusting #workabroad #pandemiclife #naturelover #naturephotography #nature #potd #instagram #hiker #trails #forestphotography #instagramersgallery👓📷 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Ksq7EHkWk/?igshid=18qxctyzrx177

Should the male be always dominant to make a happier relationship?

So my friends went in to a passionate argument about why they both disagree with each other on the point they made at maintaining a happier relationship.

“Based on the research, a happier relationship is when the man takes on a leadership role as women are believed to often seek for protection and security in terms of power, status and financial…..”

In the eye of society, men are more…

I hate being stuck at home!

It’s 2020 guys I hope that by now you realized how contaminated, polluted and wrecked our world and society in this earth is – the dumped plastics in the ocean, woods being chopped down, fossil fuels being burned, endless cycle of violence towards animal and the list goes on. This year, change came from a very unexpected change on the monumental damage we have done over a century – This isn’t the…

Bless people the way you're blessed

Bless people the way you're blessed

Whenever I was faced with storms of life, I would think of the bigger problems of the world and by doing this I would then realize and be very thankful of how small my problem actually is: then continue to count my blessings and thank god for what I’m blessed with, even with the major problem that seems so small compared with what others are going through because I probably would not last a…

For what it's worth

For what it’s worth

I have been reflecting about what are the things that truly matter, the fundamental ingredients to happiness after living two years abroad disconnected from all closest people, focus on achieving the life of my dream, drowning in a sea of temptation, addicted to freedom of indulgence and becoming a complete changed person from when I left home, and at one point of life I thought it was highly…

My Co-V note to all Malaysian

I’ve received many WA and IG messages from friends and family worrying about me being ‘stranded’ in one of the infected cities (in fact is the second worse after Wuhan) and i even had to cancel my trip to somewhere safer because the government acting faster than anything in subsequently shutting down highways and public transports to contain the spread oh my.. Firstly, hey! Don’t worry! I’m fine,…

Should i worry about the Coronavirus?

Should i worry about the Coronavirus?

I find that in most situations whenever something big is going on, people will start spreading misinformation, either purposefully or mistakenly to cause a stir and thus making it sound a lot worse that they really are.

I’ve heard all sorts of advice warning me to stay home, avoid close contact with people, proper hand washing and put on a medical mask when i’m out in the public – which is quite…
