On Helping Others

miaijita · July 17, 2018July 17, 2018

There was a job vacancy in my office and i knew someone who was also looking for one. I, however, doubted her abilities in doing the job as i never work with her before. Therefore i felt reluctant to even recommend her for the position. I was chatting with a friend about this topic. I …

On Tiny Habits

miaijita · July 15, 2018July 15, 2018

I have been trying to build good habits lately and somehow i failed most of the times. It always started strong the first few days, and just went downhill afterward. Sucks. I bumped into this Ted talk by BJ Fogg yesterday and a lightbulb went off in my head. I remember saying to myself “Aha, this …

Once in a while you are so lucky to find a place that exceeds your expectations. Cookies Cream is one. Starting with the hidden entrance, and going through the extraordinary vegetarian menu with excellent wine pairing. I love meat, but this time i don’t miss it!

Restaurant Tim Raue

The reason why i visited the restaurant on the first place was not because of the popularity of the place nor the tastiness of the food. It was the story of the chef that intrigued me. It’s the classic rags-to-riches tale. Tim Raue had a tough childhood – lived with abusive father and joined a …
