Chu Yen Diaries

Cayden’s wish on his birthday last January was to go to Paris, not to visit Disney land but to see in real life the Eiffel Tower! Due to our busy schedules, we had no chance to go. But this time, we eventually got to see the stunning Eiffel Tower! 🥰🥰🥰 ゚viralシ

Good morning, Paris!

In my life, I have faced defeats and disappointments, but instead of letting them depress me or make me give up, I learned to rise through them. Some doors opened for me to grow, offering new chances to stretch and evolve, others closed…not because the path wasn’t part of my journey, but because life was telling me that it doesn’t mean I can’t do it. It simply means I have to work harder, stay consistent, and show them that this is not the only step I can make. Every setback became a lesson, every closed door a redirection, and every challenge a quiet push to keep going. Through it all, I chose persistence over surrender, growth over fear, and resilience over defeat , and that choice continues to shape the person I am becoming. 🙌👌🏻💫

Hard work in baking isn’t just mixing and decorating, it’s the discipline, the patience, the countless retries!
Today I’m grounded again for two big moments: a wedding 💒 and a baby shower 👶 . Still humbled every time people choose me to be part of their memories. Grateful for the trust, always. 🥰👌🏻

After my 2 long days and 5 straight nights, I ended my shift with a gift that’s beyond anything material… an appreciation of who I am, the passion I carry, and the love I pour into the job that matters to me the most.
I always remind myself that when I come to work, I’m not just here to earn. Nursing is hard, demanding, and often unseen… but the love and dedication I have for this profession keeps me going. It’s what makes every tired step worth it.
Today, someone noticed. Someone saw the heart behind the work and nominated me for this year’s People’s Award. And that means more than I can ever explain. It humbles me to know that even the smallest acts , when done with sincerity, can become big when they’re appreciated.

I came home this morning and dedicated this certificate to my family. Every blessing, every recognition, every quiet “well done”… I share it with them. Especially my kids…may this inspire them one day to lead with kindness, work with purpose, and love what they choose.❤️💝👌🏻
