Things are worse than I thought. I almost didnt recognize papa at the airport. He looked SO frail. And he walks so slowly.
I have been sleepless nightless. Literally. I go to bed at midnight and lie wide awake. When I hear papa cough and go to the bathroom, I literally jump out of bed. I [...]

She wore this outfit in the picture above created by a designer of Cuban descent, Isabel Toledo. And the white dress she wore to the ball was by a 26 year old (!!!) designer of Taiwanese descent, Jason Wu.
Now if only our dear Malaysian Datuk Jimmy Choo hadn’t sold his shares in JIMMY CHOO, Malaysians [...]

Heheh, nope, I’m not gonna rant about it. Brahim’s Kuah Kurma was actually quite good! Much better than it’s rendang. To me, anway.
We had Kurma Ayam for dinner last night and I chucked in some potatoes, green chili and cubed onion. Goes really well with hot rice. We still have some leftover, we’ll be having [...]

Needless to say, I have been quite upset and a little depressed lately. So today, I got online to just surf around and to [...]

…..when I was five, and papa went all out to make me win my kindergarten’s fancy dress contest. He made me [...]

I kid you not.
I exaggerate not.
I ate not a lot.
What triggered me to make this cake was the overly ripe bananas we had at home. Best decision ever. I don’t think we’re ever gonna eat fresh banana again. From now on, I think I will buy the ripest bananas I can find, OR [...]

Ok, ok, I know I’ve been MIA for some time. I’m really sorry. HB and I are working on a secret project, “Project H”, and we’ve been quite tied up with that lately. It requires a lot of research, homework and going out of the house. When the time is right, I will reveal Project [...]
