I’m pretty pleased with myself ever since we moved to this new place. The first thing that struck me was that I could have my own organic composting area. In my previous apartment, we didn’t have space at all so putting 10 pots on the balcony was simply out of the question. Now that I …

My external hard disk has not been repaired yet. Hence, do bear with me. The photos aren’t quite ready yet. But, a merry Christmas to you! I don’t celebrate Christmas the way Christians do but I’ve grown up with a Catholic best pal so we used to hang out in her house on Christmas Eve, …
Read MoreThe Big Move…Done 19
I kind of missed my blog when I was away, moving house. But I am back now and though I wouldn’t say I’m totally settled in (after all, I scare myself when I look at my 3rd room and see boxes and more boxes of unpacked stuff!), I’m lots better now. Less frazzled. Less stressed. …

I wonder what is considered youth in this country. Is it a person aged 35 and below? Or 40 and below? I stumbled on this via Twitter and thought, hey, sounds like a super cool event.

I don’t watch Jamie Oliver’s Naked Chef cooking series for a few reasons. One, I cringe at his lisping. Or else, he’s got a damn huge tongue that won’t fit his mouth. Two, Nic hates his guts – says Jamie disrespects food. More specifically, Jamie disrespects his ingredients by simply whacking them to tatters. Which …

Not me lah. While I would love to say I’m THAT gutsy, I am not. I am a vainpot and love my hair a bit too much to go bald BUT hear me out. I’ve got a gutsy friend who will be shaving off all her hair for charity come this November. I spoke to …

I found out about this programme from Fidel, a friend who is the PAPA Programme Coordinator. I’ve known her for a while now and she and her husband are very supportive of heritage arts and events of Penang. Her two children are active in Anak-anak Kota, a brilliant programme for Penang school children. In fact …
