First of all, I think it's both odd and funny that I only manage to get back onto here over a full year since I last posted. But if that's the case, it's only because the past 12 months have been full of so much novelty that I've been feeling and living too much for …
Throwback: Malaysian Travels – Malacca
It took a good couple years for me and the fam to start traveling on the Malaysian peninsula. Always too busy, too tired, or too in a rush to go any farther than the bustling city we found ourselves in. It was only in May that we ventured out to discover the smaller towns and dense …
Throwback: Banana Waterfall Hiking
As part of catching up with this blog and sharing what I've been wanting to share for a while, I'm throwing it back to times between August 2015 to June 2016. Today, I'm starting with a hiking trip I went on late in 2015. I'm not much of a hiker. I'm not very good at …
The Past 9 Months
It's been just over 9 months that I've come on here to post anything. This past academic year has been extremely busy and I never found the time to work on my blog. A lot has happened in that time, and it's been a wild ride. Now that I'm on my summer break, I hope …
National Dog Week!
Honestly, I can barely believe I'm only managing to write something up about this "holiday" at the end of the week. This week, folks, was national dog week, and if that's not a reason to wag your tail, I don't know what is. 😉 The week often goes unnoticed, but for me, avid dog lover, …
Mid-Autumn Festival
China's Mid-Autumn Festival/Mooncake Festival/中秋节 is upon us again! I am very fond of all Chinese celebrations, and although Chinese New Year remains my all-time favorite, I must say that the Mid Autumn Festival still ranks quite high on my list. In China, we celebrated the Mid Autumn Festival every year. It's a very warm time. …
Back for the Fall!
So... I've been away for the summer, and that has just meant that I had little time to tend to my blog. There's always a lot of things you want to do during the warmer months, but so little time to do it all. Not to mention the summer work that needs to get done! …
Introversion and Me
I'm an introvert. I've figured that out on my own. I was always told I was "shy", but after much evaluation of introverts and extroverts over the years, it became clear to me which one I was. Sometimes, I feel like introverts are really misunderstood, because most of the population is extroverted. I've assembled my …
Year of the Goat
Yes, yes, I'm slightly late, but better late than never right? Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China, but it is celebrated by many others too in various countries. It is by far my personal favorite non-Western holiday, because I've practically grown up celebrating it each year. I've always loved preparing everything …
Getting Through the Week
It's Wednesday... Halfway through the workweek! I feel like each week is a mountain. You spend five days struggling to get up that hill and on the 5th day, you are finally so close to the top. You have two days to enjoy that momentary victory. Very soon, you are pushed off and you speedily …
