Had a tiring but totally fun weekend in PJ, meeting up with old friends, checking out the food and of course, shopping at my two favourite places – Daiso (at The Curve) and IKEA. Daiso was one of those lovely discoveries because CC bought me some excellent and practical household items from this shop where [...]

I meet people in the oddest ways. And sometimes the oddest ways are the best ways. Over the years of blogging, I’ve met people who read my blog and they tell me they like reading what I write. That’s actually quite lovely to hear because like I said, when I first started out, the blog [...]

This is the beginning of the many parts of our Hong Kong sojourn, a trip we made in late March this year. Nic and I decided to make good on our promise to visit a dear friend who works in this vibrant country. I’d been to Hong Kong in 1996 but that was a long [...]

I was visiting Grace last Friday evening when we ended up talking about her work. She runs a business but at the same time, she is also helping out with the Vietnamese workers who come to Malaysia.

It’s about 14C right here now in Tseung Kwan O, HK where I am currently staying. My 10-day break is coming to a close soon but it has been totally amazing. Trips the second time around are almost much better because one already has done the tourist sightseeing and then some. I was here in [...]

It’s terrible to be disappointed. And it’s worse to disappoint your friends, especially when they’ve built up this humongous anticipation of what you told them. A few nights ago, Nic and I took a friend for a meal of satay. We’d brought other friends to this place and they had all loved it. Granted, it [...]

Thanks for all your kind thoughts, warm wishes and good cheer. I have been so abundant that I got a sugee cake on the dot at midnight last night, and me in my nightie, sans contacts so it was a bit hard making out who was holding the cake with a single candle on it. [...]
