The day is as gloomy and grey as can be. I never thought that the weather would affect me this way, but it sure is making me grouchy.
I just wanna crawl into bed. That’s what it’s doing to me.
At times like this, I miss the scorching heat and 150% humidity that is Malaysia.
Moral of the story, boys [...]

It is fun cooking and experimenting with new recipes when HB is back. When he is away travelling, I usually eat simple, easy-to-make meals. HB was home this weekend, and we decided to try something more challenging.
We had decided earlier on to make a nice roast pork dish, and I figured pork loin would be [...]

It is what I would like to believe anyway. Things have been going really well for me lately. After all the unbelievable trauma I had to go through, things really are looking up for me. I found (and married!) the love of my life. I cannot begin to describe how utterly happy I am with [...]

Sometimes, the little things in life remind me of just how lucky I am. To be able to love whole-heartedly is one thing, but to be loved whole heartedly is just……the best thing in life, ever.

I know, I know. Everyone’s sick and tired of this whole campaigning thing that’s going on in the US. As for us, we have BBC and CNN on TV, thus I have been watching quite a bit of reporting on this whole campaign. Usually I am disinterested. But today, I happened to be watching Larry [...]

I went for my first Italian lesson today. Can’t really call it a lesson though. It was more of an introduction to the teacher. Her name is Stefania. (OMG I couldn’t help but think about Stefania from Everybody Loves Raymond ) I was quite surprised to see that the teacher was quite young. [...]

The title says it all. It is a place filled with wonderment. It seems to house secrets that only the ancient walls and streets seem to know. It is indeed a legendary romantic destination. We wandered through the maze of bridges and streets; backroads included, and it always seemed to surprise me that somehow we [...]
