I’m glad you dropped by. Please feel free to introduce yourself here.

Before I turned blogger, I love to hang out with friends, young and old over a cup of teh tarik (pulled tea) by an Indian Muslim stall and savour the yummy roti canais ( popular in Malaysia) and gossip about anything under the sun and moon.

In my younger times, I also loved to run to the little indian shop that sells anything from newspapers, magazines, cigarettes that comes in a can, crisps, sweets, epok (curried puffs) watch them rattle away in their indian language in a jovial manner. Although I have moved away from my original hometown of Penang, the trend of drinking ginger milk-tea had not changed much. In fact, they have gotten trendier. It is very common to see youngsters having an enjoyable time getting together at mamakstalls near homes, roadsides, makeshifts coffeeshops eating their favourite Roti Canai, Mee Goreng and more!

Now, a mother of two, I still enjoy going to have my usual Prata (it’s called Prata in Singapore) or Toast with Butter/Sugar or Butter/Kaya with my buddies reliving old days, old music, old gossips and going around with my camera looking for interesting things to blog.
