Diana takes an indefinite hiatus

Hello. My name is Diana, and I am the writer of this blog. The initial motivation to start this blog was to see how far and serious I would take my interest in baking and eating desserts to. So far, I would say, it’s been pretty good. I’ve done an “apprenticeship” in a cafe, made friends with several foodies along the way and even published my articles print (albeit for a school club magazine, but I’m still proud! ). Yup, it’s been good.

In September 2008, I moved from Singapore to Hong Kong, starting my first real taste of corporate life. It’s been an exciting move, and I am glad I did it. As such, this blog has moved from being desserts-centric to more of how’s-diana-doing-in-hongkong-centric. With work, study and life adjustments coming into play, my posting frequency has also dropped dramatically.  Every time I thought of posting a recipe I had tried online, I would think to myself, what’s the point? Others have done it before, others can do it better. What’s the value-add I can bring?

Honestly, I am ashamed. As a food blog-enthusiast, I look at all the great food blogs out there, and think to myself, how can I qualify to call myself a food blogger? Even though I got into this not to compete for super-blogger-of-the-year, I am still ashamed at the lack of enthusiasm I have had recently. I started this to ask myself how much “passion” of mine means to me. As you can see right now, apparently not that much.

I am trying to get more inspired to revamp this site to become more focused, more interesting and more personal. So perhaps, it’s time to take a rest while I think about how to reorganise my thoughts. It actually feels so much better to end this for a while, because I promise (to myself more than anything else) that I will be back better than before.

It’s not goodbye, but see you later!
