30 is just the beginning
When I was sixteen, I used to think 30 seems rather bizarre and far-fetched. I reckon, by 30, I would have it all figured out – like being financially stable, owning a big house, driving a fancy car, married with maybe two kids, the list stretches all the way to the north pole. It is unclear to me how I…

In The Midst Of The Pandemic
Exactly a year ago, who would have thought that in a few months’ time, we would find ourselves in a situation that is simply unthinkable to many. This time, a year ago, little did I know and little did we know, we were only a few months away from experiencing history-in-the-making. And suddenly, nothing else seems to matter anymore. This…

My IPL experience @ Bubblegum
Waxing can be an excruciating experience especially when it comes to waxing your bikini area. At least, it is for me. Fortunately, the pain is bearable for other parts of my body but bikini area is just…hell. Coming from a person who was dumb enough to go through such agony for almost two years (every session involves me wanting to…

Why You Should Start Journaling Today
A while back, I had stumbled upon this journal my late grandfather had written for my mother back in the mid sixties. He had passed on shortly after when mom was still a child. Although, it is upsetting that I did not get the chance to meet my grandfather, I am a glad to know that once upon a time…

Hari Raya, 2020
And just like that, the first day of Eid has come to an end. Unlike previous Eids, our house was oddly silent – no guffaws at the dining table, no children screaming in excitement and running around the house, simultaneously, getting berated by their parent; no sound of chairs scraping against the floor in every few minutes, dishes clattering, chatters…

Live today as if it was your last
“Your mind should be like a room with many open windows,” Bapuji told me. “Let the breeze flow in from all, but refuse to be blown away by any one.” – Arun Gandhi It also means to be open, to listen and let every information comes from whoever without any shred of judgment – regardless of race, religion, their status…

Five Reasons Why You Should Learn Another Language
I have always wanted to learn a new language or two when I was younger. Two years ago, right before I left for Paris, I started learning a bit of French. Just a simple “Bonjour” et “Comment ça va?” “Je voudrais un croissant, s’il vous plaît?” Of course, it felt good to be able to say these words in confidence…

Let 2019 Be The Year For Your Passion
First and foremost, happy new year to all my loyal readers. As we all know and so needless to say but I want to say it anyway – time does fly too quickly doesn’t it? Terrifying to say the least. As we devote ourselves to secure a better place for us in the future, I surmise, we are unknowingly neglecting…

Live life at your own pace
Every morning, the first thing i’d do is rolling over to the side of my bed, simultaneously, reaching out for my phone to check emails, Twitter and Instagram. Sure, partly, it is because i would like to keep myself abreast of current affairs.. And i could give an excuse like being in a fashion business, i needed to keep myself…

My First Waxing Experience @ Bubble Gum Wax
WARNING : (MAY CONTAIN THE WORD VAGINA, BUTT, LABIA A LOT) I HAVE WARNED YOU. I must say, waxing can be downright excruciating especially when it comes to Brazilian or Bikini waxing. I have done it innumerable times and yet, every time I find myself spread on that table like a bloody turkey, a little part of me dies inside.…
