Note to reader: Ah I’m FINALLY back! I took a short break in January as work picked up and then found myself in bouts of failure with technology, drama with my cameras and photography, heatwave struggles… wah small violin wah. And I’m amazed how we have made it to be in February already, but here…
I’ve been wanting to do a favourites post for a while but rather than starting back in November when I started blogging, I figure I’d start a fresh list with the new year. I’m inspired by the trend on blogs and YouTube to create a monthly reflection of favourite items, partly for posterity but also…
So I love Korean food. It’s probably in my top 3 cuisines. It wins for me on variety, flavour, value, and even nostalgia. While it’s not the cuisine of my household growing up, there’s a homeliness to Korean food that’s always comforting. Oh, and of course Korean fried chicken. That’s a reason all on its…
As the sun set on 2016 and we rolled into a new year, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief. The year was finally over, and I could breathe. This new year was a turning point for me, one that I didn’t expect, but definitely needed. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and looking back I…
Greeting cards have all been sent The Christmas rush is through But I still have one wish to make A special one for you… Just a quick post to wish everyone in the ether a wonderful holiday season. It might come a little bit belated, but well meant all the same. Christmas for us is…
Back in November I went on a short getaway trip with my friend Y to Bowral. It was literally planned like this: Me: So, how are you? Y: I… think… I just need a break. Me: Oh. My god. ME TOO! Wanna go on a short trip?! Y: Omg, really?! YES! Y and I had…
Not much to write about today while I rest up from a stomach bug. So here’s a cat for your enjoyment. This is Poppy. Or Princess “Lulu” Poppleton. She’s our relatively new kitten cat and in this photo roughly 9 mths old. She’s keeping me warm while I recover. December’s looking like a crazy month,…
For me, yum cha (also known as Chinese breakfast, or “dim sum” to Americans) has always been about sharing, and the bigger the group the better. The more people at the table, the more plates you’re able to try and taste. There’s a theatre and extravagance in the experience and I remember being excited as a kid…
So there’s this thing that a few of my friends have been going to for the last five years, le Dîner en Blanc. This (relatively) exclusive pop-up dinner themed all in white has lured me in year after year with its secret location – a location only revealed to its participants on the date of the event. Every year I…
So, it’s been some time since I’ve written anything consistently. There was a time when I used to publish online thoughts regularly, all the way back in high school before I even knew what “blogging” even meant and way before the dawn of LiveJournal. I believe I even still have copies of these blogs on ye olde 3.5″…
