Born and raised in the sunny city of Singapore (SG in short), I have moved over to NZ in April 2010 to be with my partner-Tony. First few months in Auckland, life was just about chilling out and relaxing (It was really a stress free period, I had the happiest moment of my life minus homesick) since I was unable to find a work as I was waiting for my work visa to be approved.
Life started to get bored after a few months of lazing around especially when you find yourself in a foreign land with no friends and at the same time has difficulties understanding Kiwi’s accent vice versa. Finally, got my work visa however struggled to get a job here. I severely depressed at one stage as I had too much time on my hand I was at a loss, not knowing what to do with it. All day long, I will think of what to do with my time, I nearly went crazy. I was also extremely homesick;missing my mum and son so much that I cried every night before sleep.With NO friends and NO job- all these thoughts just overwhelmed me and nearly swallowed me alive. Thank goodness, my bestie-Katherine saved me and talked me out of that stage. It started with her encouragement to set up a blog, as she believed that it will help to alleviate my boredom and at the same divert my attention and energy into something more meaningful. I was apprehensive initially, I decided to give it a try. With limited options while eating out, I started cooking and baking (I'm an amateur and still learning everyday), my desire to learn how to cook/bake and share my new life chapters/experiences in NZ will be the main subjects that I will be blogging on. This was how my journey of blogging begins….
