Safe from Covid-19…

My hands are so dry. My already brittle nails are more brittle and splitting now. I wash my hands so many times in a day. I have lost count. I have always washed my hands, particularly before eating and/or doing stuff food related. But never these many times. I wash my hands the minute I […]

Thin and not thin

I didn’t do a facial for a very long time. I eventually decided to book one. It was not because I thought it would help me look like I wish I did – not likely to happen. It was to not lose the balance on the package that I had signed up for. The aesthetician, […]

Eating out, and together

Having meals together is a treat

Eating out is mostly enjoyable in Malaysia. The choices are plenty. Food is usually delicious. Prices are generally reasonable. But, expecting meals to be served together, at the same time, is not always a given. I am not referring to food courts or mamak stalls, where synchronising is a little difficult. Because we are likely […]

Tech maze

I have a blog. I know a few tech jargons. I think I understand what they mean and what they are meant to do. But, I am never quite sure. It’s a maze. It’s a little hazy. I am hesitant. I am cautious. Afraid to try or give it a go in case I do […]

Bad over good

One wrong decision. One poor choice. One bad behaviour. That’s all it takes. One mistake to erase or taint all the good – said, done and achieved – over the years. I don’t understand how one bad tick (✓) can override so many good ticks, but it does. And, try as I may, I am […]

Haze…again

I bought an air pollution and haze KN95 respiratory mask last week. The mask was designed specifically for the situation at hand. Yes, another year of the same old, same old. Haze. It’s back. It’s choking Kuala Lumpur and many states in Malaysia with its familiar and acrid thick smog. Unwelcomed. Unwanted. But, here it […]

Liars, leaders and supporters

This is the world I live in now. Not telling the truth isn’t a big deal. It’s almost fashionable to lie. There are no repercussions. There is no price to pay. Even when liars are called out on their lies – with evidence staring them in their faces – they get away scot-free. The liars […]
