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 [...]

Tell me, will YOU be free on 2 November? Will you be in Penang on this date? If you want to do good and pay it forward, please spread the word that the Buddhist Tzu Chi organisation will be having their annual charity sale at the Pesta Sungai Nibong site from 9am to 3pm. The sale [...]

Langkawi is always a good getaway from the busy-ness and business of Penang for a while. Even if I do visit clients when I’m on that little island. But I’m back. I got back on Sunday evening, just in time to catch the first night F1 race that was held in Singapore. Of course, the [...]

I will be off to Langkawi for the weekend. For work. For pleasure. For food. For leisure. For all sorts of reasons. It’s incredible to escape to an island where the cows stare at you as you drive past in your car. Rented of course. The car, not the cows. And as such, I won’t be blogging till [...]

I just managed to download some photos I took - a bit pleased at my bread baking adventure. This is coming from a person who has no baking skills whatsoever… except for my signature banana cake recipe. Here’s how the bread turned out… from dough to bread.

Had lunch with a friend today at Edelweiss. I consider it a good lunch if we can just catch up with each other. One of those topics we broached was business since she runs her own business too. As a copywriter, she helps clients produce clear content either through writing, editing, proofreading or translation into European [...]

This year has been quite interesting! On my birthday this year, I was at one of the biggest opposition rallies at Han Chiang College. I sat on the wet ground with an ever ready poncho and umbrella in case the rain came. It did but I still didn’t leave. And yesterday, while we were supposed [...]

It’s a horrible day when you wake up to news about 3 people being detained under this stupid ISA (and 2 of them are ex-USMers! This is certainly the week for USM to be in the news both positively and negatively!) It’s unfair that the whistle-blower gets ISA while the perpetrator gets a slap on the [...]

I got a call from M, a friend I hadn’t spoken to for a long time. She called to say thanks for thinking of her and by that she meant the postcard I sent. She’d received it and felt appreciated and thought of our friendship. Throughout our 20-minute phone call, she kept saying how thankful she [...]

Don and Mylene had invited us to their ‘filming’ on Sunday afternoon. I say ‘filming’ because they were going to be the stars of an eco short film to be made by Ong of PenangWatch with a grant from USM. The venue was at a three-storey building along Weld Quay. When we arrived, the filming [...]
