Things have an odd way of turning out sometimes. Two days ago, we were supposed to join the PHT trip to Penang Hill. I got all excited because I love these PHT trips – they’re always informative and I always learn so much history. Which is a good thing because I think we often take [...]

You know, it’s every reader’s guilty secret. This book dumping thing. Book dumping happens to the best of us. It happens to everyone who reads. I am sure we all started out eager to read everything and anything that came our way – I still read the small print on cosmetic bottles, the nutritional information [...]
