I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem lately, and I feel it’s my public duty to share it with you. Firstly, it involves food (of course). Secondly, it involves possibly the best food in the world (did I just write that? Just going with my emotions here)… Malaysian cuisine. Omg… the food of Malaysia… sigh. The…
If you know me, you’ll know I love the Cameron Highlands. Living in KL can sometimes turn into a bit of a hot, sweaty mess, and knowing that a European escape is but a mere 3 hours away is inexplicably calming. It’s like a whole new world; one where there’s no traffic, no pollution, and…
Yesterday Gav and I decided to try a La Juiceria one-day juice detox. La Juiceria is a fancy schmancy juice chain in Malaysia, although I get the feeling the concept has definitely been copied from Melbourne or somewhere equally hip. Quite possibly Singapore (although I haven’t been back since a brief layover in 1996, so…
If you saw my recent post on the Cameron Highlands, you’ll know that I’m in a bit of a travel frenzy right now. Nothing too crazy, but there’s definite yearnings to explore new territory — which I’ve decided to satiate with well-timed city breaks in Malaysia.
I’ve always been a fan of The Body Shop. It’s just always been there. I remember being in the store in Southland as a kid, and being so fascinated by all the delicious scents and “flavours” of products. I also remember when they brought out makeup, and they had these incredible bronzing balls that you…
Recently I’ve been feeling a bit like a chicken in a pen: cooped up. Since coming back from Melbourne in late March, we hadn’t left our little enclave, and I was starting to feel it. Not that our life in Malaysia is bad — far from it. In fact, my unsettled-ness might be because I’ve lost…
Hi friends! Long time no chat. This year, we’ve popped over to Australia twice (because why not? Also, weddings) and I my focus has been slightly sapped. And by slightly I mean totally — I’ve let work get in the way of my creative life once again… and that just does not work for me!…
Two weeks ago, I tried climbing for the first time… and let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. Of course, when you think of climbing gyms, it’s not like you assume it’s easy, but honestly… it’s way harder than I could ever imagine. The thing is, this wasn’t only physically — to me, climbing…
If you know anything about me, you’ll know that I love lemon tarts. That is no lie! You know, when I first moved to Malaysia, I was astounded — astounded — at the severe lack of citrus-based deserts here. It’s ridic, and it does not please me. Not one bit. I guess the only saving grace…
Hi friends, Happy 2016! Gong xi fa cai! … And all that good stuff. I’ve been meaning to write on my beautiful lil’ blog for ages, but have weirdly been prioritising work (what’s with that?) and also some “me time”, which was much-needed after a busy Dec/Jan period.
