My first moleskine

14 Dec

moleskine

Yeah, I have succumbed. I needed to get something to celebrate my new job so I (or more accurately the boyfriend) got me a moleskine to mark this milestone in my life. It’s one (the job, not the moleskine) I’ve been pining for weeks and I’m really excited that everything’s confirmed. Signed the dotted line [...]

“It starts in me”. There is nothing simple about the simple phrase. Many of us cruise through our lives so comfortably that we eventually lose touch of things that make us feel alive.

Dried shrimps

Eversince I’ve had that overpriced hakka dish, Suan Pan Zi or Abacus Seeds at The Curve, I’ve vowed to make them myself one day. That was a year, maybe two ago. Making tong yuen was actually a sort of warm up exercise to revive my dormant cooking l33t skills. And after the 1st two failures [...]

Niji Sushi at Bandar Manjalara.

6 Dec

salmon sashimi

One of my all-time favourite restaurants is Niji Sushi in Bandar Manjalara. I’ve been a regular patron for the past 4 years and we eat there almost every week. I’ve been to a few Japanese restaurants, some were pretty good but most are too expensive for the quality of food they’re serving. I quite like [...]

If you’re feeling a lil light on the wallet, there’s an easy and almost free way to turn your xmas tree into a coversational piece. Just remember, everytime you shop at Tesco or other deparmental stores, save the receipts. At the end of the year you’ll have enough of those receipts to decorate your bare [...]
