Photo by saltoriccoMy friends think that I'm a freak for wanting to read Macbeth for leisure. I never thought that I would ever want to read it again either after the whole torture that was literature class. Then on a one fine day, I had this urge to dig up my old copy of Macbeth but unfortunately, I'd given it away. So I got a new one. Reading it now, I have a somewhat …

I've been to Bali a few years ago with my cousins. It was fun but I didn't get to do the whole touristy-try out-new-things deal because I was with family and well, my aunt was there. So when I found out that the prize for the monthly competition at Itchytraveller.com was a 5day, 4 night trip to Bali, I know I had to join. Check out the poster below.You have to be a member to …

I love hummus. It’s one of those easy to make dips that go with almost anything. So it doesn’t surprise me at all when someone makes an ode to Hummus. It’s damn entertaining too! It’s a go …
A dull Saturday could only be cured by watching a movie. However, the movie, Jumper, didn't blow me away. It just blows actually. The effects were cool, Hayden Christensen was gorgeous but the plot was just... meh. There wasn't enough back story to satisfy my curiosity and imagination. On top of that, I didn't even get to see Hayden Christensen naked! Gah! What's the use of …

I just felt like it.So dropped by my favourite vice station, The Bodyshop, and got me some colours. I got 2 different shimmer cubes as shown below:I love the colours of each palette …
The humid weather and the multitude of guests in the house made me feel a little crabby and not really sociable (not that I normally am sociable in the first place). So music was a nice way to relax. Here's some of the songs I've been listening to:Technorati Tags: Music

As much as I talk about furthering my education so that I would have better career advancement, I actually have a secret dream. Not many people know about it because when I speak of this secret dream of mine, it's usually in jest and they don't really think that I'm serious about being a stay at home mom domestic goddess queen.I would gladly give up my career to be take …
One of the main reasons why I keep an offline journal is just so that I can put my darker thoughts some place else, so that the loved ones reading this blog wouldn't be affected.Then a thought occurred to me. What if, after putting down all my deepest, darkest secrets, I die and my loved ones find my journal. Would it hurt them? Would they think differently of me? How would …
Photo by StewfI had never read romance novel until on a trip with the extended family up north, I saw a cousin of mine engrossed in a book that she had with her. When she stopped reading long enough for me to ask her, she showed me the book and it was Judith McNaught's A Kingdom of Dreams. It looked interesting on the back and I decided to borrow it off her when she was done …

Dear Starbucks,Just when I think that I should give you up, you tempt me in the form of my sister wanting to treat me to coffee. Why can't you just let me go? You know that this relationship isn't working for us. You're just getting to expensive for my minuscule funds.You appealed to my snooty, yuppie-wannabe side. You wooed me with your fancy coffee, your shiny packaging and …
