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 […]

Does Weight Matter

My mom built us a family habit over the years, to weigh ourselves everyday first thing in the morning. Despite it being the most accurate net weight can be tracked down after resting overnight, it is also less fluctuated by the amount of water and food we consume during the day.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Barcelona: La Sagrada Familia

Regardless how many times you walked out of that metro station, turned around, raised your head – you’ll still be holding your breath, time and time again. La Sagrada Familia is inspired by the natural forms of trees and branches, always growing upwards. The geometric construction has always lived in its own harmony over the […]
