All About Su

I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I live in London with my partner, Toby who happens to take pictures for living and I am a hairdresser/teacher by trade.

Living in London for 10years has changed me immensely in many ways. I learnt how impatient I am with school run traffics, how hot headed I get with idiotic silly little behaviours of some mankind including myself, how unforgiving I am at times, how annoyingly emotionally engaging I am most days of my life and how snobbish I could become with this Mr. Waitrose business.

I got pretty fed up at learning how unkind human being I have been and feeling pretty confused with values of my personality and identity. All those sleepless nights asking myself where all my friends were these days...  

I had early life crisis of becoming 30!

But there was this one thing that always kept me going and made my loved ones to stick around and put up with me!

Food is one of my greatest findings that nurtured me into this calm...ish little person. 
With a little help of glass of wine in my hands, I found cooking kind of therapeutic. 
Although I would never be an inch perfect Bree from desperate housewives, I could almost call myself an accidental domestic goddess....

Now I am a little more older and wiser, from time to time I have thoughtful moments or at least I try to. And I realise one thing about me and my family on the other side of the world.
Food somehow brings us together, keeps me grounded and connected. 
It soothe me when I am sore, it comforts me when I am run down, it cures me when I am homesick. 
It engages me with happy thoughts and memories when I am feeling all alone.

I feel it is necessary... and important that I don't forget...
Perhaps it is about time I teach myself to treasure it by sharing it.

Oh, I'll have a drink to that thought.
And on that note..., 건배! In other words, cheers!
