I was so bloody tempted to write about a million other more interesting things if not for this niggling thing which annoyed me so. I wanted to write about my Nine Emperor God Festival experience – my first time ever going on a complete 8 day vegetarian diet, and my first time walking alongside the …

Over the past few years (and way before Georgetown was declared a UNESCO Heritage site), many people have been intrigued and more than fascinated with old Georgetown. There’s a wealth of history and nostalgia in every crack and pore of these crusty, musty buildings we call pre-war shophouses. Many have a link to their past …

I’m a big greenie, thanks to being influenced positively by Don and Mylene.

But first, we needed to fill our tummies. The hotel provided free breakfast but the breakfast spread at Lee Gardens …

I count myself lucky to know Don and Mylene. It started with someone giving me their phone number a few years ago because I wanted to contact them to give a talk at Mensa Penang. They invited us to listen to their environment talk at the Pulau Tikus church one morning. I was totally in …
