2020
2020. A new decade. A new chance. A chance to a life better than what you currently have. If I’m being truthful, I already have everything I need. A loving husband. Two beautiful dogs. They make us happy each day. A supportive circle of family and friends. Secure careers. A home. And yet… …I feel somewhat lost. Along the way, I lost my sense of me. Who am I supposed to be? From now on, this space will act as the place to document my journey of self re-discovery. Anything I find interesting, I shall write. Books. Food. Travel. And yes, personal style. For someone who speaks as succinctly as…

Documentary Wedding Photographer | Ron and Ann
My husband and I have been married for four and a half years. Before we got married, we thought we wanted kids. One boy, one girl, and a dog would have been my ideal. He wanted two girls, thinking that girls would be easier to raise. At least until they turn sixteen and start dating. As the years went by, we kept postponing our plans to start having kids. We did get our dog, who is basically our child now. We’ve been holding off mainly because we’re both busy with work. And also because we’re both afraid. Are we ready and responsible enough to raise another human being? Will I…

A Culinary Discovery | Personal Story
Three things I enjoy in life are books, photos, and food. You put them all together and what do you get? A cookbook! I am a complete sucker for big cookbooks. Take a peek at my cupboard and you’ll find The Joy of Cooking, The Silver Spoon, and Vefa’s Kitchen stacked up on top of each other. I just enjoy trying out new recipes. To me, it’s about discovering new things. There are lots of flavours to explore that I can’t resist not finding it out. My husband Lance, not too much. He’s not a picky eater per se. He’ll try out new stuff if I ask him to. But…

Happy Valentine’s Day | Personal Story
Lying on his tummy, chin cradled on the back of his hand, my husband sighs as he turns a page of a book he’s reading. He scrunches up his nose once in a while. Or pokes me on my side when I’m not paying attention. His method of choice for showing affection apparently. After five years of being together, I still feel lucky that we have found each other. We may not be a contender for the most romantic couple. Our version of romance is staying in, renting a movie, snuggled in the couch, eating home cooked dinner. But it’s how we want it to be. And on Valentine’s Day,…

Obsession Rekindled – Personal Story | Photographer in Kitchener-Waterloo
I finally caved in… I blame Kim Kardashian. If it wasn’t for her innovative business idea of making fashionable shoes affordable, my previous obsession with shoes would never have been rekindled. Shoe Dazzle is an online shoe club where every month, a group of stylist pick five shoes for you to pick from based on the questionnaire you filled out upon signing up. As a Canadian, it only cost me about $50 US per purchase. And that’s including tax, duties, and shipping. If you don’t like any of the picks for that month, you can opt to skip that month and you won’t get charged. And now without further adieu,…
