Namaste! (“Greetings” or “blessings upon you” in Nepali) I am in Nepal! Barely did I have time to update on Pulau Weh, and now I’m on another trip again. Was home for only 2 days after the diving trip, which gave me just enough time to unpack my island-life clothes, and then start over with packing … Continue reading
I am horrible!! After all that talk about not wanting to be half-assed with my blog-writing, I have managed to shamefully leave my blog untouched for 7 months – almost exactly to the day!!! WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?! *hangs head in shame* …… *lifts up head and is engulfed in virtual cobwebs* Oh dear. Where … Continue reading
Bula!! (that’s Fijian for “hello” or “welcome”… literally means “life” but you hear it as a common greeting everywhere you go here!) I’m sitting here by the dimly lit poolside, looking up into a clear night sky filled with stars and thinking to myself about the tiny turns of events that led me to being … Continue reading
Ah… so much for me hoping to get more blog posts in! Time just flies by and there’s so many items in my to-do list, I’m out and about so much it’s been weeks since I logged into WordPress to write *hangs head in shame* But alas here I am! Squeezing in a post before … Continue reading

But you know the one thing that sucks about being away from home for me (aside from missing my loved ones … Continue reading
My dad (whom I call ‘Baba’), arrived in Wellington yesterday to visit me yay! Say hello to Baba… Happy to have him here over the Christmas & New Year holidays 🙂 He was tired from the flight and transits from Malaysia yesterday, so we only took a short stroll around the city after lunch to … Continue reading
I saw this picture shared on a friend’s Facebook timeline just a few minutes ago. It’s a beautiful piece of photo-manip, and it touches a global issue that I feel strongly about so I wanted to put up my very own ‘Public Service Announcement’ post here on the blog. I’ll just copy what I wrote … Continue reading
All my thoughts about feeling cold flew right out of my mind completely when I chanced upon an octopus whilst out on a dive yesterday. The dive shop I work at had its usual weekend Club Dives, taking our members out for a leisurely dive. We went further out of the city for yesterday morning’s … Continue reading
I felt an earthquake today, and it scared me. I’ve felt a quake before, years ago whilst I was working in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. The earthquake actually occurred in Indonesia, but it was so strong that some buildings swayed in Malaysia too. I was sitting at my office cubicle at the time, and I felt a … Continue reading
