What I Learnt from an Indian Memory Champion

Update: I put my photos on Facebook so they’re here if you want to take a look at brainy stuff. I got the flu bug and now I am feeling completely buggered! I don’t know if going for my Thai massage on Monday had anything to do with this but it seems all toxins have … Read more

Gotta Love a Man Who Bakes

I realized that a lot of things can be therapeutic and relaxing. For me, it’s beading (that’s making earrings with bling, lots of them), crochet (all I wanna do is amigurumi, that’s cute animal creatures instead of some huge shawl or pullover), gardening (I find peace in weeding and killing mealy bugs) and of course … Read more

One Girl's Dream…

Woke up to an excited SMS this morning. Jana’s SMS read told me to read The Star, particularly Anthony Thanasayan’s Wheel Power column (he’s her friend and like her, he is also a local councillor but for a different district in Selangor).

Diamonds Over Tea

This whole week has been work, work and more work so I was quite happy to let go of all that and go do my other stuff – you know, my WomenBizSense stuff. [By the way, Kristine announced that WomenBizSense will be given a spotlight at next year’s Business Card Festival that her company is … Read more

My Favourite Chinese Foods Which I Won't Ever Eat

If you are 30 years and above and Malaysian Chinese, you probably will know what I am talking about. I started off responding to Marsha’s comment on this blog post about made in China ice cream. Then I realized that hey, it could be a blog post on its own. You know why? If you … Read more
