Disillusioned yet happy and hopeful
I have two moans. One local and one not. At first, I didn’t and couldn’t be bothered to waste my time and effort to write a letter of complaint. What was the point? I’d either not get a response or something not worth reading. I got the latter. A standard email thanking me for my […]

I make resolutions every year. I actually like making them. Following them is another story. I usually manage to practise a bit of some but certainly not all. In short, the pattern is the same every year. And yet, I persevere. This year, I have one resolution. Just being in the moment. A Carpe Diem […]

My husband and I will be flying on New Year’s Eve, and arriving home in Malaysia on the first day of 2020. A first for us. We are either at home or out toasting the brand new year with friends at a hotel or a club. Not so much the latter in recent years. But […]

It’s Christmas. That wonderful time of the year. I know I have said this before. December is my favourite month of the year, second only to March, which is my birthday month. For me, there’s very little not to like about Christmas or December. This year, Christmas came early in many of the shopping malls […]

I only just discovered Lego. Seen it. But never played with it. Never owned any as a kid. In fact, I don’t remember having many store-bought toys. Maybe, some marbles and a ball.

My husband and I like living in a condo. The one big advantage is security. I like that I can park my car, walk into a lift and up to my unit. Not having to get out of my car, open the front gate, drive into the porch and close the gate before I can […]

Do I like travelling solo? Yes and no. My husband and I fly, drive and visit places together, almost always. We are compatible travel buddies. Of course, we have our share of arguments and misunderstandings on our trips. But we manage to laugh away frustrations and annoyances, most times. I think we are better together […]

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 […]

I don’t always get the reaction I want or would like. After the time invested, detailed planning and injection of that all important, element of surprise, it fails. Not entirely as there are a few gushes. ‘Ahs’ and ‘oohs’. Certainly not the exuberant reaction I expected. It happens. A little disappointed, yes. But, certainly not […]
