I enjoy playing football(some may refer to it as soccer,but NO it's football) quite a fair bit, ok ok "ALOT" is more like it. I love the excitement, the creativity and of course the feeling of content when a goal is scored. As of recent I'm beginning to enjoy baking a fair bit too, somehow I find the the...
Hanoi is an old rustic looking town, we went there at the end of 2010 which coincided with the town's 1ooo (one thousand) year anniversary.

Living away from my parents ain't that bad but it has it's cons. Besides missing them, the other major con is that if I get hungry I can't just go "MUM! is there any food?", furthermore I'm in Australia... not in Malaysia, where there are food stalls everywhere , running most of the time... so I can't just...

Winter is here in Brisbane and its been one of the coldest since I’ve been here. To warm the house up I’ve started baking quite a fair bit. I used to find baking quite hard and tedious, so I stayed away from It. I remember when I was young, watching my auntie bake; she used to measure everything to the...
Ueno, a city that houses an insane amount of sneaker clothing shops... and in between these shops were "Izakaya" style restaurants/bars. The popular food and drink stalls were filled with people who came after work to let out steam with the best cure; food ... well it did look like a lot of alcohol...
Comer er Ortiga .... Eat at Ortiga ...Early 2010 a Spanish restaurant opened in Brisbane, located beside a traffic light at a T junction.

On the 11th of January 2011, Brisbane and many other townships were flooded due to the heavy downpour of rain weeks before the date. The floods came into roads, houses , shops and businesses which was located in lower grounds and which was close to the river and creeks. I was fortunate to not be effected by...

A gastronomical icon of Sydney,The Fishmarkets is the place where people flock in for the best seafood in town (even the birds flock in).This is the place that I crave for when in Sydney, since the first time I came here 5years ago; I have not found any other place like this in Australia. The variety of...
