We made a short trip down south to Singapore a couple of weekends ago. It was almost a "Touch & Go" trip... we were there to watch the Lion King musical (which was totally so enjoyable!) and the rest of the time was just to eat and shop. As we were staying with my good friend CH who graciously hosted us at her lovely condo in Amber Gardens, we just had to walk over to East Coast Road where a few of Singapore's famous Katong Laksa outlets were located. It was a 12-minute walk from the … [Read more...]
The Uma – porkilicious Balinese fare @ The Strand, Kota Damansara
How would you like to dine sitting next to rolling fields of green and golden rice stalks? That's exactly what you'll experience when you step into The Uma's dining area up on the 1st floor! One wall has been completely painted with a mural that depicts a typical Balinese rice field. It gives a sense of a relaxing hideout here and it reminds me vividly of the rice field slopes in Ubud. You get to sit "bersila" (cross-legged) style on flat cushions around low teak tables brought in … [Read more...]

Welcome to my world!
Wow. I love my new "home" :-) It's amazing how attached one can get to one's blog. I mean, this blog here has been my baby for more than 3 years. It's just like nurturing a child, from birth... seeing how it slowly took off... those first uncertain steps, fumbling, groping in the dark, trying to improve, learn new stuff... and then slowly, slowly getting a firmer hold on this alien thing called "social media" and interacting online. It's been 3+ amazing years and I have gained much from … [Read more...]

Time flies
It's the final week for the year. Where did my 2010 go?? I honestly can't believe the year has just flown by and 2011 will be dawning in a few days' time.It's good to be on leave during this time. And half the week is gone already. It's nice not having to be up and out of bed when my alarm goes off at 6am. I get to lie in for a bit, just a bit. I'm out of the bedroom by 9'ish, latest.Somehow the days get by very quickly. I go to the wet market, take my … [Read more...]
