Conversations about Jewellery Designing and Life
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 […]

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.

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!

An hour ago, I was making a trip down to the nearby supermarket and for the first time since I’ve been here in London since 29th September, […]
Read MoreWith my trusty paint roller on a pole, I’ve put on the last coating of paint yesterday on the walls and ceiling of the bathroom last afternoon. Now the bathroom is looking pretty good and new… Except for a few hard-to-reach, out-of-sight areas. Nevertheless, the coating of paint I’ve laid on those walls came out […]
Read MoreDay 4. I’ve decided to learn how to cook. Personally, I don’t feel that cooking is difficult. I can understand the general concept of basic cooking, now it’s just a matter of putting in the time practising. Throughout this afternoon, I’ve spent a good amount of time searching for simple recipes online, collecting those that […]
Read MoreI’ve tendered my resignation this morning. Been thinking about it for the longest time, held back by fear and uncertainty of being unemployed/ self-employed. This morning, I felt ready and since it’s something that I will do sooner or later, I printed out the letter and handed it over. Took several baby steps to reach […]

Hualien (3rd Day) Breakfast It was a lovely morning. Later that day, we would take the afternoon train back to Taipei. Constant Companion RR and I woke up especially early to try some local breakfast. We went to a nearby joint (highly recommended by Google Map) which specialises in the typical Taiwanese breakfast items. Nothing much […]
