Living in Tokyo

Who am I...?

I'm a web editor from Singapore living in Tokyo. I'm building websites for a living as a writer on the go. I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. The Internet is a fascinating space and 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.

The kangaroo ordered two picnic table sets on Monday night from Amazon Japan (which I highly recommend for cheap English books and household solutions) and they arrived last night.

To get ready for our housewarming this Saturday, he put on his carpenter hat and hammered everything together.

It’s such a small thing but it makes our pad feel even more like home. The kangaroo always wanted to have a place to hang out outside and what better time to do that than in summer?

I finally got the kangaroo his birthday present — Harman Kardon Sound SticksII speakers so we thought we’d milk the whole new home improvement situation.
