I Can Feel the Sun!

Coming from a hot South East Asia country, I couldn’t understand why would anybody flock outside and lie down on the grass when the sun is shining brightly.

Bathroom Painted. The Pursue of “Liveability” Continues!

A Brand New Adventure! Day 0.

This is it. Just finished packing all my stuff. I’ll be flying off tonight at 2230hrs. Woke up earlier than usual this morning, and after a quick visit to my dear mom, I went to the usual cafe to have my usual tea and toast breakfast. It didn’t feel quite the same. Since I’ve a […]
