How my blog started?

I started this blog a little over a year ago. There were several factors that drove me to started this blog. I like reading other people blogs about cooking or baking and mainly travel stories. Being lazy, I used to bookmark recipe posts I wished to make one day – but over the time those links changed and I lost a lot of those bookmarks and never could find them again 🙁 Then one day, it just came to me why not I start my own blog – where I can actually post recipes that I have tried? I can share with my readers any tips I have pick up here and there and might be a benefit for others.

As for travel, as much as I love doing that, unfortunately we cannot afford doing it more often. What I love about travelling is mainly trying the local cuisines (as you can probably tell by now how much we love food hehehe). I would share our journeys along with how we felt about it.

Every now and then you will also see my posts on soap making or any odd simple craft projects or gardening attempts (or might I say, fails :P)

Two pieces of advice to new bloggers:

I definitely no expert and still learning to be better at this and here are my two cents. A super long post often confuses me, especially if it’s all writings. It is better to have few pictures and try not to write too long in a single post.

Another tip is that do blogging because you enjoy doing it. Remember that whilst it’s an online world where you barely know your fellow bloggers in person; it is always good to be kind and respective to others 🙂

The Dragon’s Loyalty Award

I usually wake up feeling much less excitement on Sunday mornings, thinking that it is the last day of the weekend and have to get back to work the next day. I am sure I am not alone about this (~˘▾˘)~ This Sunday, however, was slightly different, there was a notification from WP that this lovely lady Natascha left me a comment. She nominated me for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award! I can’t tell you how honoured and humbled I am for this, it has definitely made my Sunday much better and motivates me to post more  (•◡•) / Really thank you for your generosity. Natascha has an awesome blog, she has posts on life and relationships, education, parenting issues. I love this post in particular, it is a reminder that how many people are now lack of. Please do drop by her blog and read her posts, I am sure you will leave with the same impression as me, that her blog is awesome!

So, what is Dragon’s Loyalty Award?

I would like to nominate these bloggers for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award:

Alrighty, here are the seven things that you may not know about me yet:

1.  I am a cat person, although I am not sure I like to have any pets myself 😛

2.  I started wearing glasses when I was in year 5 and my first glasses were of Disney brand hahaha

3.  I used to hate the smell of coriander, only started to appreciate it in the last 12 years (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

4.  I am terrified of being alone with little babies/kids (regardless how cute they are, weird huh?) I don’t mind if there were at least another adult, though (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ ☜(゚ヮ゚☜)

5.  My favourite holiday is Christmas ? (which I am pretty sure, a lot of other people do agree with me!)

6.  I had wanted to be a teacher, then while growing up I realised I just don’t have that patience to teach other people. My younger brother can testify how terrible I was when teaching him math ◔̯◔

7.  Math is my favourite subject
