So it's been a little while since my last blog post. A lot has happened, in my personal life (which I'm sure you'll learn about reading further) and also around the world: the Queen has passed. Of course I've never met the monarch, but the thought of being invited for afternoon tea at the palace [...]

October 2021
October has been a super busy month. My motto this month has kind of been "work hard, play hard", as I realise that, sometimes, we can be unhappy not because we are doing too many things we don't like, but because we aren't doing enough of what we do like. I realised that when I [...]
April 2021
What a month. Started off super busy and then ended up super ill. Lots of chocolate, of course it was Easter, and lots of sleep and napping.

I suppose this is a reason why company culture can be so vital to employees. I know I would personally prefer [...]
January 2021
January blues was not as bad as I was expecting. Looking back at my daily gratitudes and musings, it appears I had very much utilised my support network this month. It has been super helpful having supportive people in my life that I can rely on and ask for help, people who can lift me [...]
Building Mental Muscle
I listened to a really insightful Asian Boss Girl podcast episode (no. 44) where Christine Chen was interviewed about mental health. The episode discussed building resilience and how we can build our mental muscles. Which got me thinking: can it really be done? Perspective I suppose everything is about perspective. One quote that I thought [...]
