*B(l)urb…!*
There’re dates every year I dread. One is Ling’s birthday, and the other is Valentine’s Day. OK, I should clarify that; I dread not the day itself, but the run-up to it and specifically what I should buy her for

Laksa made easy
I finally got down to cooking laksa (nonya version) with the premix bought a couple of months ago. I had intended to do it while Matt was here but we were too busy eating other types of good food! Hee hee.

He walks, he eats, he cracks
There was a poem on people we meet and sometimes you only get to meet them once in your lifetime. I didn’t think much of it until Matt left us this morning. He has very much become a part of

Singapore 1, Matt 0
Well played, Singapore. Not only at the end of each night did you relentlessly stuff me until I waddled back to The Rivervale like a cross-eyed duck, but your strategy of playfully misplacing my luggage for over 72 hours was
