To get to Chinatown (Yaowarat) Bangkok, the fastest way is via the boat ride, since it avoids traffic and it's cheap. First, we took the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and once we're out from the station we followed the crowd and saw Sathorn Pier barely 3 minutes away. At the pier though, it could be confusi

Fast forward 2 years plus later, I have lost count on the number of times I visited Din Tai Fung, usually for the cute dumplings and my favourite

I've always thought that sushi-making is an extremely simple task. I mean, it's just some slices of raw fish on top of balls of rice, right? How hard could it be? But how wrong I was! Only when I attended the sushi making class by Chef Yanagida of Hotel Nikko, did I realise that there were many tech [...]

31st of July 2010 marks a significant milestone in my life. It was the day I received my second scroll! For those of you who read my blog when I was still in Penang, you would have known how I struggled with part-time studies and how I detested Fridays. :) Oh well, thank God that it's all worth it!

If you have been following my tweets while I was in Australia, you would have noticed that I complained about losing my curls once I was there. I don't know why, perhaps due to the weather or the humidity, my hair just became straight! And I spent more than RM300 to perm it before, so I was pretty u [...]

If there's one thing that we remember the most during our trip to Australia, it was Kendal's hospitality. Kendal is Saucer's colleague over in Australia and during our holiday there, he was our host for 2 weekends. What's even more amazing is his kids and lovely wife, Tracey. Together, their warmth [...]

Last year's Mid-Autumn festival was a really special day for me, because it coincided not only with my birthday, but my date of ROM (Registration of Marriage). In fact, because of all the coincidences on the same date, Saucer and I were featured in most of the Chinese newspapers that covered the ROM [...]

Saucer was in Australia for work for about 2 weeks before I flew over. We had agreed to keep in touch via IM and Skype when he was there, but alas, there was no free wifi in his room! So while I waited and waited, I thought, why not I give him a call since I have his hotel number? And that's when iT [...]

During our stay in Australia, Mario and his wife kindly invited us over one night for a BBQ dinner at their home. When we reached, Mario was busy cooking his Boerewor [...]

One thing that Saucer was looking forward to in this Melbourne trip was to play with snow! Since we're there during the winter months, there was snow on most mountains in Victoria, and we went to the one nearest to Melbourne. About an hour's drive away from the suburbs of Croydon, we went to Mount D [...]

Hello people! I'm BACK! After 2 amazing and fun weeks in Victoria, I'm finally home sweet home. My body is still following Aussie time which is 2 hours in advance, which means I find it easier to wake up at 7am now (which is actually 9am in Aussie) compared to before. Anyway, let's continue with my [...]

Phew!! After hours and hours of driving in the daylight and in the dark, we finally settled down for the night at an inn along Great Ocean Road in Port Campbell. The drive was absolutely magnificent with views I couldn't take my eyes off from. Yes, even when it was my turn to drive! It's pretty dist [...]
