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.

Grouchiness

I hate hangovers. I hate feeling like I spewed a lot of bullshit the night before but I’m not quite sure what I said. We were only going to have one drink at our neighbourhood pub. But we had four? God, who knows how many…

The kangaroo was very sweet — he hopped out to get us some giant-sized lattes, offered headache tablets and hugs.

I still felt muddle headed and then I thought a spicy fix was in order. When I had a banging hangover in Telok Kurau, I would head out to have bah chor mee (noodles with minced pork and other delights) or laksa (white noodles in a spicy coconut gravy) or lontong (Indonesian vegetable curry with rice cakes).

Obviously these are not available here, I decided to try a friend’s mum’s belachan (chilli paste with secret spicy ingredients) in my tofu egg scramble. Can I just say POW WOW. I am more than halfway to happiness. Thanks to my friend for this Singaporean necessity. You know who you are!
