Conversations about Jewellery Designing and Life
Woke up this morning to a piece of sad news; a person, whom I considered one of my limited benefactors in life, has passed away. She was the one who recommended me to a job where I’ve enjoyed a 7 years tenure. Every time, we meet up in person, she would sing endless praise about […]
Read MoreJust came back from the neighbourhood gym. Took it easy, since it’s been 2 months since my last proper workout. It feels really good to be moving my body in this frigid weather; we’ve reached slightly below zero these few days. The gym is decent. I don’t expect too much. So far, the gym seems […]
Read MoreAlmost 2 months in London now. What can I say about this whole experience? I’m glad to say that I’m slowly adapting to life here, but this new environment is constantly throwing new things for me to adapt to. Lately, there’s the daylight saving which ended on 30th October. Suddenly the days seem so short; […]

Came back from Porto last night. It’s nice to finally depart and arrive at the same destination as Rui Rui after a holiday somewhere. The Place Porto is a beautiful place, although it seems that they have a graffiti problem. However, I don’t remember seeing anything with hate or obscene symbols or messages; most of […]
Read MoreAfter picking up Ah Rui from the nearby station last night, she mentioned that she could see her breath. It was only then I realised that the weather’s getting colder. It didn’t feel any colder though; I didn’t even notice the breath until she talked about it. Made my 2nd batch of Roti Prata last […]
Read MoreI’ve been in London for exactly 1 month now. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been dreaming in my sleep a lot more often than I ever have for the past 10 years. Not sure why is that but I’m assuming that it’s because my brain has once again been given more stimulation from […]

I’ve been thinking about eating Roti Prata for a while now. It’s something that I can so easily get back at home. A good meal of Roti Prata cost no more than SGD $10, but over here, the only shop that I’ve seen, so far, that has Roti Prata on its menu, is charging people […]
Read MoreToday was the 14th day that I’ve been here in London. That means this is the longest time I’ve ever been away from home. I never had the luxury or opportunity to take longer period of time off to travel; man got to make a living, you know. Previously when I was here in London, […]

For years, Rui Rui has frequent this particular restaurant that sells South-East Asian cuisine. She’s always been telling me about it quite often that she’s brought many South-East Asian friends there and none of them has anything good to say about that. This afternoon, I’ve finally got the chance to eat at that restaurant. We […]

Had dinner at McDonald’s last night which was also my first visit to the international fast food chain in UK. Boy, it was disappointing! My order was a Quarter Pounder with cheese burger with a side of fries and a cup of coke. While the beef patty was indeed Quarter Pounder sized, it came between […]
