Mind Says Pack, Heart Says Procrastinate.
I’ve got six hours to get everything packed before heading to the airport and gee it’s the last thing I want to be doing right now. I’m being passive aggressive about it all and simply wondering around the house picking things up and then tossing them into my suitcase. If you have the chargers for…

The Girl In Oslo’s Tag – 2014 Edition.
Busy, busy, busy. It’s been chaos at work. The busier I get, the harder I find it is to wind down when I’m supposed to. I was asked by the lovely L at The Girl In Oslo and asked to participate in her 2014 edition of The Tag. I love filling in responses to posts like this.…

Life In the Nearly Winter.
It ain’t pretty but it sure is comfy. It’s officially cold in Sydney. I’ve gone to ground at home with a thick blanket, Explorer socks and a scarf. I’ve loaded up the Kindle and now that I’ve got all those television channels back after the great Samsung retune in Thursday, I don’t think I’ll have…

Re-Tuned and Reconditioned. Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water.
This is probably old news to 99.9% of Australia but I only figured out how to re-tune my television last night. Matters came to a head when I noticed that I was missing SBS, Channel 7 and Channel 9. No offence ABC and Channel 10 but I think Food Safari’s returning to SBS. As for…

What Will Kate Wear Next? Memory Lane.
That burst of sun yesterday obviously got a better offer for today. I had hoped that it would’ve stuck around in my backyard for a bit just so my backlog of laundry could have some chance of drying this decade but alas, it wasn’t to be. It’s probably in New Zealand keeping Prince George warm…

Going With the Post Daylight Saving Flow.
Hasn’t daylight saving ended in spectacular fashion today? It’s been the kind of day that’s made for pottering around and completely forgetting the time or else finding yourself stuck in the rain somewhere running late or early for whatever it you were meant to be doing. I was lucky this year in that all my…

Buns and Blurs.
When you open your kitchen to a jar of chia seeds, you also open it to a whole new world of non dairy milk alternatives. With my Asian background, coconut milk meant only one thing to me. Thick and rich cans of Ayam Brand coconut milk that you poured with abandon into chicken curries…

Complacency. Cooking. Chia Seeds.
It has never been my intention to name and shame people for their beliefs in what I write in this blog. Which is why I’m starting my rant today with a photo of myself in first world problem mode. This photo was taken yesterday as I had to suffer through a morning…

Closure. Life Afterwards.
I haven’t had the right words for my feelings about MH370 until now. www.ibtimes.com It’s official now. the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean and there are no survivors. Over the coming weeks, the how and the why will try to be elicited. The mission of the aircraft and ships diverted to the…
