A step at a time is about my own self reflection of my life's journey, the things that I encountered in my everyday life, the journey that I have experienced as previously matured student in Scotland for a couple of years, life as an expat in Bahrain that I lived for 13 years, places that I traveled to, food, health, friends, people that I met and most importantly the lessons that I learned along the way. We live in a world that are fast-paced and demanding, so taking one step at a time can help me re-think how I can approach challenges and navigate through life. It's a continuous journey. Each step, no matter how small and embracing the learning process means understanding and learning from mistakes will open new doors, new experience and shape our life. Challenges are inevitable and taking one step at a time involves confronting difficulties head on and developing resilient mindset, so that we become stronger.

Spring is here!
As I looked out the window from the bus that I use to go commute to work and back, it struck me that spring came early this year. Scotland had had a harsh winter late last year (the worst in 20 years! I was told by some of the old folks here) and flowers are blooming early. From daffodils to tulips and Cheery blossoms, colours started to emerge from every nooks and corners. Most houses here started to fill their garden with flowers and the greyness of their building gradually disappear . April is technically over and it looks as if summer is coming. Weather is becoming warmer...too warm for the likes of Scottish as I recalled meeting a chap at the bus stop, when he said that Scotland is generally cold for the first six months and colder the remaining six months of a year. Hmm ...how true...but maybe we will have a prope
