All of My Stuff From Korea Finally Arrived and I Think I’m Going to Pass Out

Just wanted to give y’all a little update on my life. A few weeks ago, I was really missing Korea. Like, really really. I dragged Gav along to Sunway Pyramid Mall, simply to check out Skinfood and Nature Republic, and I was reminiscing about my adorable students and Korean food and, oh just everything. I…

Video: The Truth About Hagwons

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…

Video: 5 Things I Miss About Korea

I know I talk about it a lot, but I lived in Korea for two years and loved it. Yes, it can be a bit foreign sometimes and you probably won’t understand a lot of what is going on (or is that just me?). But even though I am over here loving Malaysia, I really…

My Current Korean Beauty Favourites

Over the weekend, our school finished our “end of year” show, called the Lovely Party. The ironic thing is that it’s almost anything but lovely behind the scenes, because of the bizarre amount of importance that is placed on it by the “powers that be”. I am personally of the opinion that kids are kids and shouldn’t have to…

Welcome to 2015 (and a surprise announcement…)!

Hi friends, First of all: I know. I have left you stranded for far too long. Trust me, I’ve felt it too. There has been no content on here in a long time, and I have genuinely missed it. Let me fill you in on what’s been happening. First of all, there was Christmas. So, I…

Video: The Monday Vlog #5!

Okay, so I know it’s really not Monday… but still, surprise! I realised after the last Monday Vlog that I had forgot to put a bit of extra footage in. Couple that with the fact that I haven’t taken many shots this week and you’ve got this bumper/catchup/binge session on your hands. Yep, I’m good to…

Why I Can’t “Do” Clubbing

Hi friends! … as a quick aside (from what?), I almost mistyped that as ‘hi friend’ (singular) which would have been a rather embarrassing situation. Anyway, welcome! Today’s post is going to talk about why I seem unable to “do” clubbing. It’s become quite the revelation in my life recently, although really I have always known…

(Video) The Monday Vlog #4!

Hi friends! It’s Monday Vlog time again, and this time you have a bit of a bonus – two weeks in one! This may or may not be because I forgot to upload one last week… but let’s not focus on that. This time, you can watch me eat, drink, eat, go to Costco (to…

(Video) The Monday Vlog #3!

Hi friends! The Monday Vlog is back! Yet again on a Tuesday… which seems to be becoming a bit of a theme. I know I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front lately, but on Friday Gav left for the States so I was prioritising him (aww). Now I seem to have so much free…

Video: The Monday Vlog #2!

Hi friends! The Monday Vlog is back with a vengeance (even if it’s on a Tuesday)! This week was a tad busy with Halloween and the impressively stubborn virus that I became very well acquainted with, which made the weekend that much sweeter. I may or may not have collapsed Friday night when I got home, but…
