Bustling And Serene Hong Kong! Monday, September 7, 2009. Hong Kong needs no introduction at all. As one of the most burgeoning and exciting cities in Asia, it is abuzz with people, vehicles and activities at every corner of its occupied land area and at every second of the day. It is a city with one of the highest cost of living in the whole of Asia, probably coming in 2nd only after Tokyo. Life there is perpetually on the fast lane. The whole stretch of the MTR (local subway train) points in Kowloon fr...

Places And Faces: October 2009
http://myplacesandfacesjournal.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
To Quiver Or To Embrace? Thursday, October 1, 2009. Last weekend while turning the pages of The Sunday Times Singapore, my fleeting attention was brought to the headline of a short article: 'Jackson didn't want to grow old: Rabbi'. More than 3 months after his death, stories and new claims about what Michael Jackson had said (or not! Fearing the ravages of old age, the book recounted some comments Michael Jackson had said during the time of the interview:. Of Sound of Music) lightheartedness and brillian...

Friday, November 19, 2010. I had been held hostage by work the last couple of weeks. Despite the busy weeks and weekends filled with expectations and deadlines, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch a Motown performance by a LEGENDARY diva! This is one of a rare, rare perks which comes with my job! Yes, I saw her live! So, so apt! Ross reprised her songs from the days of The Supremes. She sang in total 20 songs, non stop for an hour. Her trademark big frizzy hairdo bespeaks her magnetic...In Th...

Cambodia Part 3: Bayon. Sunday, April 11, 2010. This is the 3rd part of my post on Cambodia. I cannot believe how time flies and how long I have been abandoning this blog of mine since my previous post. My apologies to all recurring readers who may have come back to check for new updates. Here it is now. What can I say about Bayon? Represents the intersection of heaven and earth. Thought by many to be a portrait of Jayavarman himself, has been dubbed by some the "Mona Lisa of Southeast Asia.". Of legenda...

Trekking in Gunung Bunga Buah, Malaysia. Sunday, July 19, 2009. Some people love diving in the big wide scary oceans (that are filled with sharks! Shiver*), while some people simply love to hike in the thick of the jungles or open mountains surrounded by gorgeous greens and scenery. I am one of the latter. I absolutely love hiking! I can walk and walk and walk for hours in a day and I just enjoy it so much. Yep, it was! View from Gunung Bunga Buah. Buah is fruit,. So in translation, I guess it is called.

On The Green Side Of Life. Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Ayam Masak Merah (Spicy Red Chili and Tomato Ketchup Chicken). It is awfully hard not to love spicy food when we are presented with an array of such delicious dishes thanks to our rich selection of culinary heritage here. Malay food is one of my favorites, especially the spicy, aromatic ones of course! Spicy fried beehoon (rice vermicelli) that got my palate all fired up! Half of a chicken, cut into large pieces. 1 tbsp turmeric powder. A few cardam...
