    Bookworm Mode

    I’m usually a slow reader, but there’s something about the National Library of Australia that just keeps me going. Maybe it’s their awesome collection of books, where you can stumble upon some really fascinating finds. Or maybe it’s the super conducive reading environment, which includes an alfresco cafe view that overlooks the lake. Or maybe […]

    The Power of the Pot

    A couple of weeks ago I moved out of my on-campus studio room and in with my office-mate, Ayu, from Indonesia. *Damn yearly contracts!* Ayu’s 80-something year old dad has been visiting Canberra for the past month. Ever so often Eyang (“Grandpa” in Javanese) would have a look of disbelief when he sees me having […]

    TGIF!

    It’s a super sunny day today in the kampung kapital (i.e. Canberra), and what better way to start the day with a bright chirpy-looking bowl of goodness! Oats with blueberries, a nectarine and kiwi. Sweetened with a couple of dates. Have a great Friday, everyone 🙂

    Reviewing our environment in 2012

    Think saving the planet is that easy? Think again. If trying to understand the complex interactions between sciences, economics, culture, politics, security and global/regional frameworks is just not working for you and you’re close to giving up, then check this out. For the fourth year running, the RSIS Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies has […]

    A Chaaaklety Sunday Morning

    A Chaaaklety Sunday Morning

    So I felt like I wanted to jazz up my usual breakfast oatmeal. I’ve been a bit experimental these days in trying to use existing food items in my pantry. One of those items is cocoa powder. So I typed in cocoa powder and oats in google and stumbled on several web pages on Chocolate […]

    Dolphins are not dumb. Humans usually are.

    Dolphins are not dumb. Humans usually are.

    The logic that some people have just baffles me sometimes. Take for example, the point made by Genting Group chairman, Mr Lim Kok Thay, regarding a question on the use of wild-caught dolphins for entertainment needs at the Marine Life Park in the newly opened Resorts World Singapore (RWS). In defending RWS’ position on the […]

    Culinary experiments

    A sample of quick and nutritious post-graduate student meals. Breakfast (top left): Oats with soy milk, kiwi, blueberries and a dash of honey. I tried substituting the soy milk and honey with hazelnut milk and dates today, and it was just as awesome. Lunch (top right): Idiot-proof savoury oats (i.e. Oats + olive oil + […]

    She’s an Inspiration. Period.

    A slight abberation to what I usually post, but this is such a MUST post! Shila Amzah from Malaysia wins the Asian Wave 2012 in China with her amazing voice, stage presence and lovely choice of songs from three languages – English, Mandarin and Malay. Not only is Shila a testament that language is no […]

    DIY Duit Raya/Eidyah envelope. Sukses!!

    You know that feeling when you just HAVE to do something? This was one of them. Having been inspired by the Origami envelope video, I just had to try out making Eid envelopes by recycling (or rather upcycling) some old newspaper. Grabbed some paint and stencils from good ol’ Bras Basah complex, and those creative […]

    Best origami envelope video ever!

    Best origami envelope video ever!

    With Eid just around the corner… (A) You know you’ll be needing a stack of envelopes for money for the kids. Choose from the standard Eid Mubarak taglines, or new comic relief sorts with cheesy lines. Har har… (B) You know the kids will just rip open the envelopes for the money and just thrash […]
