My Spring Festival in Harbin

Happy New Year!! (again) If you are in Asia and you’re using the Lunar calendar then, finally, welcome to the new year. I feel like January was a fantastic trial run…I tried bullet journaling, reading every day, compiling lists, 10-minute morning meditation routines, etc. So, I now know what works for me and what doesn’t.

What They Don’t Tell You

I have had a fantastic weekend in Beijing to see one of the best humans I know. This is enough to keep you happy, right? We explored the ancient hutons, ate amazing dumplngs, danced the night away and caught up. This should be enough to keep me happy. But something happened. When I was back […]

Bonding Time with Mum..

This is a beautiful, precious moment. I mean, we used to live together so this was the norm. I have been living with my father for about a year and a half now. As you get older and have seen special people depart our Earth as we know it, these moments become treasured and priceless. […]

My Furry Friends

Spooks & the gang 🙂 They are the happiest to see me after a weekend away. They wait eagerly at the gate when I come home late from work, most likely thinking, “gaaah, where is she??”. When I walk out the house, they think it is play time. Well, it could be, just not all […]

Weekend Special: Day 46 & 47

And maybe a bit about day 45 as well. Valentine’s Day. I don’t really hate it. I don’t mind it. Just another day really. Don’t feel less loved just because I don’t get chocolate and roses, or sweet texts and phone calls. It was a normal day, really. Work. Go home, hang out. Chill. Sister […]
