Well I’ve been a bit sneaky about this one, haven’t I?! Today Gav and I are heading off to Cambodia for a few short days, and I couldn’t be more excited. This is a country that I’ve never been to before, yet I’ve heard so many positive things about it. We are going to Siem…
A little while ago I filmed a video (or series of videos – my camera kept dropping out) about my hagwon. It was a pretty difficult time, filled with a lack of communication, undermining and just general deference to the authority of “tiger moms”. I sort of filmed the video to get some stuff off…
About a year ago now, I started writing a post called ‘Tips for Learning Korean’ (or something like that)… and then I never finished it because, well, I never quite got there, did I? Although I lived in Korea for two years, I found that working in an English hagwon wasn’t very conducive to learning…
Come one, come all, to witness my incredibly quick everyday makeup application process (I promise the act is longer than its name)! For anyone who knows me, even the concept of filming a Makeup Routine video is ludicrous, because I’m not the most make-up inclined, shall we say. In fact, all during high school I…
Hey y’all, I know things have been quiet on the home front but I’m here! And I have a few videos up my sleeve, because I want to put myself in front of you guys more and just talk like a normal human being. So I thought the best way to do this would be…
So if you’re an avid reader of this site (thank you!), you will notice something different right about now. Something perhaps to the right of this text is an image, and yes, dear readers, you read right: I have written an eBook! As I have alluded to in the past, I used to have serious…
If you’ve ever been to Malaysia, Thailand, India… hell, anywhere within cooee of the equator, you will know that the tropics are no. joke. Seriously, they take no mercy but will instead take all your dignity when it comes to personal hygiene. Trust me, I’ve learnt this the hard way, and today I want to…
As you know (because I haven’t shut up about it), these past four days I was in Langkawi. I was lucky enough to go with my best friend and we had an amazing time. Did you know that Langkawi is the most beautiful place on earth? ‘Cause I do now! We spent a day on…
I am currently in Langkawi on a girl’s trip with my best friend Sehar. We are lucky enough to both be unemployed and luxuriously-inclined, and so we decided at the last minute to book a whirlwind trip to this magical part of Malaysia. And right now I am so glad to be here. There is…
Ever since I became a bludger/unemployed drone/vacationer in Malaysia, I have had more time than before (ie. when I had basically zero time and actually zero energy) so do some thinking. So a-thinkin’, I have been! And a funny conundrum has occurred to me once more – no matter how much or how little I’m…
