Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

A spot of home improvement

The kangaroo is home after a 7-week round the world business trip and when he chills out, he likes putting nice touches to our apartment.

Our wild strawberries were planted the last time he was in town so it was fantastic to see the first little fruit dangling just behind a curtain of leaves.

The garden is pretty crowded with parsley, carrots, lavender, rosemary, beans, mint and flowers but he couldn’t resist getting some hanging plants and tropical-looking husks to nurture them in.

We celebrated his birthday last weekend with about 20 folks at our place, which also explains why we spruced things up a little.

[I’ll blog on his birthday bash soon — once I get my hands on some decent pictures. I had tons of fun but was too busy playing host to take photos.]

While he was at Tokyu Hands, he spotted a lovely red kettle to replace the sad, rusty one we had.

These stools were my doing. I wanted all-white ones and thought I ordered all-white ones, but they came in pink. Yup, another incident of not reading the finer details of Japanese website descriptions.

It’s nice having him back in the apartment and feeling like a normal couple again.
