I’ve been meaning to write more about my Hong Kong trip but so many things have gotten in the way. So now, back to the regular programming until something else catches my blog fancy. In the first few days in HK, we did the absolute tourist stuff but later we found out that there was [...]

For Merdeka Day
Posted on 31. Aug, 2010 by Maya.
May we really embody the colours of Merdeka and not be hypocrites. We may say something but the media says something else. Especially media which panders to their own racial group and become ‘batu api’. May we really mean what we say when we say we are one nation. This nation consists of people who [...]

We’re Like The Aussies
Posted on 29. Aug, 2010 by Maya.
Jo told me that Malaysians are a bit like the Aussies. Whenever friends from abroad come to visit, we tend to invite them to stay with us (with open arms). Just like the Aussies, she says, They will even tell you that their house key is in the third flower pot and “just make yourself [...]

As I’m part of the Taman Sri Nibong RA Committee, I’m using all means to get our little residential area in the news. I’m new to this area, having moved here late last year but immediately I was roped in by a friend to help in the committee. (Thanks to our intern Jensen who helped [...]

The Heady Smell of Herbs
Posted on 17. Aug, 2010 by Maya.
I’ve been dutifully composting my food scraps using the 10-pot system and it’s been about 7 months now. Don of Green Crusaders (that’s him below) taught me this system and since using it, I’ve never had to throw out any food scraps! I have actually reduced the amount of rubbish I throw out as I [...]

I was going through my thumb drive when I chanced upon my resolutions. I am a sucker for this kind of things and so I actually make lists during the first week of January each year. Anyway for me it’s quite fun to track what I set out to achieve and what I really achieve. [...]

To The Gurdwara We Will Go
Posted on 02. Aug, 2010 by Maya.
We were at the Sikh Gurdwara yesterday as part of the Penang Heritage Trust monthly site visits. I often look forward to these events as we get an insider’s view of the historical building or place. I am sure you’ve passed by this place of worship if you drive along Jalan Gurdwara going to GAMA [...]

One Woman’s Inspiration
Posted on 31. Jul, 2010 by Maya.
When Nancy invited me and Nic to join her and the rest of the Adventist Hospital staff to visit Tzu Chi Society building in Macalister Road, she had warned me. “Bring lots of tissues.” It would be emotional. I just didn’t know how emotional it would turn out to be. In the end, I came [...]

Let’s Not Forget Bawang
Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by Maya.
Su Ping kept telling me about this brand when I was visiting her in Hong Kong. After all, when we bunk in with friends, we also are privy to their bathroom and personal care items. She told me about this shampoo which I didn’t really pay attention to until I got into her bathroom and [...]
