A Good Buy
As much as he tried to play it down, I know that darling was very happy with our latest acquisition. A colleague saw our new car and told me that she, too, had placed an order for Nissan Latio just
Chilli Burns
It is no joke to be burned by a tiny, red fruit – the chilli padi. It happened to me on one of those days when all the hard work poured into cooking turned out disastrous. Yeah. I was into
Carrot Cake
This is not the Western cake with the stredded orange root. It is an Asian dish. Actually, its name is quite a misnomer as the main ingredient is raddish. There’s no carrot involved at all. I got the recipe from
Alea jacta est (continued)
(This one’s continued from the last entry.) I didn’t find McCullough’s subsequent books as refreshing as the first, so aside from computer city-building games based on the Roman empire, over the last decade I didn’t find similarly engaging material to
Alea jacta est

Rawa Notes
Ling’s absolutely right about the kind of impression our Medang trip left on me. In fact, the whole experience of that island left me with a terrifically stinko feeling that immediately after that trip in June, I resolved that to
Rawa Rendezvous
I thought I wouldn’t visit this paradise island again. Tucked away somewhere in the vast expanse of the South China Sea is a tiny, idyllic isle that sparkles in its crystal-clear, turquiose waters. The sun is often shining there and
A Seaside Getaway
The both of us have just returned from a trip at Pulau Rawa, a relatively unknown little island but with absolutely adoring beaches. We took close to 1029 pictures on two cameras, and it’s going to take a long while
Fishy Business Part 2 of 3
The Best of Fish & Chips @ Fish & Co I didn’t realize that I was on a fish roll until Ling remarked that we’d just had fish and chips at Ikea the day before. The both of us had
