Tidy For Not Having To Tidy

There’s a common misperception about tidying, that it is equivalent to cleaning, and that’s what scares most people away when they are told to “tidy up”, including me. The second misperception about “tidying”, or in a better word, “declutter”, is that we have to throw away the items we once brought in – the concept […]

Barcelona: Casa Milà

Ending the last piece of Gaudi’s series with Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera. It was not a love-at-first-sight, I felt a little suppressed standing in the middle of the dark courtyard on a cloudy Autumn day, with the tour guide explaining that this is Gaudi’s last and also the most iconic design of […]

Three-cup Chicken in Claypot

A well-known and tasty chicken dish that you’ll find in most of the Taiwanese restaurants. I like to use a Japanese Style Moroccan Tajine / Claypot for most of my one-pot dishes, the cone-shaped lid accumulates steam and accelerates cooking time; the claypots or ceramic pots would also add an earthy aroma to your […]

Shakshuka & Tuna Cheese Quesadilla

Shakshuka originally is an Israeli dish, then became popular in the Middle East and North Africa. It is typically a mix of tomatoes, onions, and eggs; I usually make this when we are clearing the fridge with whatever we have left or going off soon。 Quesadilla is a Mexican dish that no doubt, all families’ […]

oh, it’s about time

There are many books out there explaining the how, the what, the why of our lives, but not many about the WHEN. And ironically, we live in a world having to make “when” decisions Every. Single. Day. – when to schedule a meeting, when to change a job, when to get a divorce, when to […]

Rose Cleansing Treatment Balm

Eve Lom has been around for years with superb reviews amongst my friends, but that didn’t trigger me to purchase until I decided to give this one a try – just for the name – Rose. Cleansing. Treatment. (huh?!) My night cleansing routine typically contains 3 steps: Make-up / Sunblock remover, Gel / Milk Face […]

Barcelona: Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is one of his most poetic and artistic designs for a building, with a combination of Color, Form, and Lights, it is known as the house of nature, and every curve is magical – as Dali once said, “Gaudi has built a house representing the stormy sea and all sorts of water.” As […]

56 days of meditation

Not a beginner’s guide of what type of mat, cushion, timer, APP, or space you will need to start meditating, this is a 56-day beginner who has opened new doors to possibilities, sharing a journey to the “here and now”. SAY YES – that’s all I did to get it started, on the first […]

workout during menstruation

Honestly, I am no expert in Sports Science, neither a professional trainer, but I do listen to my body, and with tried-and-true experiences, I am a big supporter on the ideas of working out during the “menstrual cycle”, or in another word, the Period, PERIOD. If you are a man reading this, please don’t avoid […]

a little twist about Me.

#TwistofTalk is an interview column (follow along via @alittletwist.blog on IG) aiming to “share an honest conversation”, in order to discover the extraordinaries in the ordinaries in us, that are round us. To kick start the first episode, I did a little interview with myself as an ice-breaker, by using the random questions under an […]
