Disillusioned yet happy and hopeful
Recently I met up with my university mates for brunch, and in the same week, had dinner with friends whom I used to work with. That very weekend, my brother popped over to my mum’s in the afternoon, and we had tea. To be precise, he had coffee and I had some chocolate that I […]

It’s been seven years since my husband and I took a very belated but welcomed gap year. Yes, 365 days off from work and business to travel. Just thinking and remembering the year makes me light up like a Christmas tree. That feeling of freedom, Merdeka, as we Malaysians like to say, was palpable. We […]

I have never heard of the phrase “hand over fist[1].” My husband used it recently. When he did, I instantly got this image of my hand going over my fist like a contortionist. I couldn’t help but laugh and then questioned him how this could possibly be relevant to losing or making huge amounts of […]

I have a blog. It’s been online for a few months now. My blog, Golly Molly Aiyoh is one of 342 million registered domain names, as at the third quarter of 2018[1]. I post once a week, on Mondays, and when I do, my post is amongst over 4 million blog posts that are published […]

I am one for resolutions. Every year, I make resolutions. I like making them because it encourages me to think.

I was watching ‘A Star is Born’ and multi-tasking by looking up Lady Gaga on my iPad. It was a general browse about the stars of the movie. I wasn’t checking on anything in particular but her net worth popped up, which was pretty impressive, but what really threw me was how much Kylie Jenner […]

I felt compelled to write about the driving culture in Malaysia, if you can call it that, following a recent drive to Fraser’s Hill. Being a local, I am amply aware of our ballistic and ‘kiasu’ tendencies when we get behind the wheel, deservedly and sadly, earning us the shameful label of being rude and […]

My first go-to when I have the sniffles or a cold is Vicks VapoRub. I have used it all my life or at least as far back as I can remember. The vapour it emanates, a menthol-minty aroma is soothing and nostalgic all in one. The latter because it reminds me of my mum caring […]

The only time my husband and I take an early morning flight is from England to Malaysia. Up at 5am and out the door by 6am to catch the 10am flight home when the leavers (us) and remainers (family) are still half-awake and a little groggy from sleep. I dread the leave day as it […]
