Unedits

Love is not circumstantial. It’s not just present in the moments when you put your best efforts forward, the days when you can conquer anything, the times where life flows as smooth as ever.

It is there thriving in the moments when you are raw, unfiltered and unedited.

When you didn’t get enough sleep but still open those eyes with hope, when you feel tired and worn down but still persists through another day, when you fall and make mistakes but get back up and grow .

“I do not love you only when the sun is shining, but also when storms strikes and hails hits the windows”

I will always love you when the moon makes an appearance to remind me I have been blessed with another day.

Dad. I miss you.

She was a free bird one minute; queen of the world and laughing.

The next minute she would be in tears like a porcelain angel, about to teeter, fall and break.

She never cried because she was afraid something ‘would’ happen; she would cry because she feared something that could render the world more beautiful, ‘would not’ happen.

I told myself never to settle for nice, for pleasant, for familiar. To keep looking until I find something that deeply moves me, that resonates with my core. And I mean for people, for interests, for hobbies, for possessions, clothes, musics, books, arts. Everything. To curate every aspect of my life as much as I can. It’s in the things that deeply inspire us that we find ourselves. Surround myself with truth and somehow in between it all; I’ll have built myself that little piece of heaven. X

A Perfect Start to Winter

I'd always like to think when I'm cooking for the people I love, I'm feeding their inner souls. Food to me is a personal connection to an individual being. I don't cook for everyone and if I do cook for some - take it as an invitation to my world; it's a rare commodity. I don't let people in easily and if I had it's only cos I felt there is a connection. Food basically says it all in one word for me - "welcome". I know I haven't been on here as often as I should. When you're love struck and trying to perfect a chilli paste right; the entrepreneur life is hard. Yes I've burnt some, undercook some and even tried to lessen the spice kick for the past month. But I'm grateful for where I am today with the love and support from families and friends - not only have their tastebuds had to endure some burning sensation over the ghost chillies, but still managed to cope with my irritating OCD kitchen plating up habits. I thank you all. XX

What doesn't kill you

It’s the same with people who say, ‘whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.'Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn’t kill you maims you,cripples you, leaves you weak,makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same tome. The more pain,the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying. -Rob Sheffield
