As you all know, I’m one of the founding members of WomenBizSENSE, a businesswomen’s networking group set up in 2006. Anyway, tomorrow, we’ll be having a free talk for not only our women members but open to other women as well. So if you are female and live in Penang and want to learn from [...]

The Hill of Stories

Yoke Pin actually started with the history of Balik Pulau laksa which is quite apt as people do arrive in hoardes for this noodle dish. Of course, Nic and I were privileged to hear the OTHER laksa story, as told to us by Mr Tan, the equally famous laksa stall owner. But then again, he [...]

Went for the monthly PHT visit on Sunday to Balik Pulau. It was worth it though as PHT visits are always educational. I suppose that is why we keep being members. (If you want to be a member, call them at +604 264 2631 or email phtrust@streamyx.com) For us, Balik Pulau is about durians when [...]

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 [...]

Don’s Way of Living Green

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, [...]

The Big Move…Done

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. [...]

Am I Still In The Youth Category?

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. Unfortunately, the contest didn’t state what youth was. The exciting thing was – all these lovely, famous folks were [...]

Bold, Big-Hearted and Bald

Update 11 Nov ’09: Nancy updated us that Penang Adventist Hospital has reached RM100k for Go Bald For Charity event. I’m so long lost from my blog it’s ridiculous, even by my standards. Add to that, I’ve gotten the sniffles! The weather in Penang has been rather erratic – warm like a bad oven with [...]

If I Had A Magic Wand…

I started off wanting to fill my Saturday with a hatful of projects – some undone, some halfway through, some just biting at my ankles for want of getting started. Then I decided, to heck with it. I will reclaim my Saturday. I will give myself a break today. I’ve been working really hard. I’ve [...]
