I like to please my mother, I do. I think she must have planned this when she enrolled me into a Catholic girl school for 10 years of my life. When I was a lot younger both my parents worked in stressful jobs, ones that I remember not seeing my parents for weeks on end. … Continue reading »

spinach meatballs
You’re right, good question, what on God’s green earth is this dubious green little thing? The whole time I was mixing this, I was thinking, “OHHH, so this is what Oscar (Sesame Street) is made of.” No intention to induce cannibalistic tendencies here, let’s move on. I love meatballs. Specifically, I love meat. In this … Continue reading »
Japanese cheese cake
Oh boy. It could have been any number of things, any number! It could have been a broken battery, drained of life after three long years. It could have been a loose plug or broken adaptor. Either way, my camera’s on the fritz. I am sorry but for upcoming posts I will be depriving you … Continue reading »

Wed’s 25 : pink balloons
I wanted to post something that might uplift your spirits this week.

Like my mother always tells me, the things that … Continue reading »

By the time it came to wrap the dumplings and cook, it was over in 10 minutes. Ridiculous. I made one … Continue reading »

wed’s 25: cafés
I wanted to write a beautiful post on the thrills of being angry with construction noise pollution, but I decided I’d channel all that for another day. At any point of time on this post if you start finding lyrics to Ayo Technology, it’s only because I’ve headphone-d my ears into a soundproof studio, one … Continue reading »
nosh weekend 4: cappucino at home
Instant 3-in-1 Nescafé coffee used to be my Red Bull. It kept me up long into the wee hours of morning, more company than caffeine. It was a friendly face when I worked through Bangkok and Hong Kong. But lately that over-sugary, pale coffee taste is grinding me down. Every time I step into Gloria … Continue reading »
food of the people
Before I was picky about what I ate I was picky about how much I ate. I was a hungry child. Like fattening a Hima bride (thanks, Discovery Channel!) my parents were well-versed in the full appetites of growing children and proceeded as such to fatten me up before I hit puberty.Of course, you can … Continue reading »
