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.

Bummed out

I am not feeling so well again. Ever since Nepal’s massive attacks of food poisoning in December 2007, my digestive system has not been 100 per cent. Coming from Southeast Asia, I was proud to have a cast-iron stomach that can tolerate food that has been lying around or boiling away all day in an open cauldron. But these past few months, my constitution seems a little weak.

Last week’s stomach bug was awful and I felt nauseas and headachy all day for four days. I began to feel like that after lunch today and left for home at about 530pm. Perhaps it is the change in weather (which is temperamental) or the lack of air in the office (the aircon was not turned on because a certain colleague thought it was too cold) — whatever it was, I refused to chuck up in the office loo which has walls as thin as paper.

The other reason why I am bummed out is I missed yet another hash run (my expat jogging group). I’m not trying hard enough to balance work, fitness, the kangaroo, and building a social life in Tokyo.

I hope May will be a better month.
