I wasn’t in a good place last month. I lived in doubts and incongruence. It was a good experiment nevertheless; I learned so much about me and about life when I was managing a café. Even with a wealth of experience setting up new coffee shops, when it came to operation, I was a newbie.…
I was introduced to a friend’s friend on a random night two years ago. They talked about lucid dreaming, meditation and spiritual topics all night.

He makes me the happiest person in the world. The thought of him is like a beam of sun shine that warms me from within, it makes me smile. People call it ‘being in love’; science said it is the work of dopamine in our brain. When I came across a beautiful article about holding…
When I saw tubes penetrating through his fragile body, it broke my heart. ‘Happy face, happy face,’ I told myself while swallowing tears. I held his hands and gently caressed his skin. Never had I done this before. There were so many things that I wanted to tell him. But when I sat beside his…
Mum age: The age whereby my mum became a mother, she was 28. I believe that life is like a round trip ticket. No matter how high you soar in life, one day, you will make the trip back to the core of what makes you, ‘you’; and that’s your family. I used to be…
