Shopping in Kuching is quite a tricky thing. Modern malls are becoming a way of life but we tend to go for the other type of shopping when we’re here. Local foodstuff and pottery are more of our kind of shopping. First, pottery and ceramics are unique because Sarawak-made pots, mugs, lamps, decor items and [...]

Was on the plane today for our yearly trip home to visit the in-laws. Yes, Penang-Kuching. Sat next to Leslie, a German girl who was travelling solo in Malaysia.

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, [...]
