Was on the plane today for our yearly trip home to visit the in-laws. Yes, Penang-Kuching.
Sat next to Leslie, a German girl who was travelling solo in Malaysia.
Started talking midway during our 1 hour 45 minute flight when she saw me snapping photos of the clouds. Now you know why I love window [...]

I always believed criminals had a certain look.
Probably drug addicts, scrawny with mean, dour faces. Probably young, in their 20s. Probably people you never want to meet in a dark alley.

I can’t keep this secret to myself any longer as she’s going to officially start selling her cookies soon and with a website to boot too.

Anyway, tomorrow, we’ll be having a free talk for not only our women members but open to other women as well.

It’s awfully odd but I finally get to blog a bit when I am sick.
It started yesterday with a bout of puking and purging. And today my head hurts and all I can eat are cream crackers! Food makes me nauseous, no thanks to the food poisoning of yesterday. I think I overate AfterEights [...]

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.

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, [...]

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. [...]
