Crunchy and sweet is the peanut snack bar, locally called “nkate cake”. Just two ingredients is all you need; roasted peanuts and caramelised sugar. My childhood would not have been the same without this snack right here. I remember making it to sell in class. It was fun and pretty easy to make too. Have…… Continue reading SNACK ATTACK
LET YOUR HAIR DOWN.
We all go through life with one problem or the other. Funny enough the problems never end, so we end up solving one problem after the next and we tend to lose sight of the importance and meaning of life. From my years of existence I have come to realise that problems are totally normal…… Continue reading LET YOUR HAIR DOWN.

Loneliness becomes solitude, And self pity a companion. Tears flow effortlessly and with each passing day it gets tougher. Hope slowly fades. Be weak or…… Continue reading WHILE I WAIT
