Guess who’s back? I know it has been a considerable amount of time since I have written on here. For those of you who used to avidly read my posts, I apologise and to the newbies, welcome. I have actually been blogging over on my business blog (shameless plug), but if you are not imminently planning a… Continue reading An Attitude of Gratitude
Each time an aunty at a party asks me ba wo ni? The real answer is a lodge in my throat. I reply the way I know how; I am good aunty. Days like this I shrink into a cage of shame. Maybe it’s partly to do with my father, I was hesitant to learn… Continue reading On Losing My Language
You move me, shift my equilibrium like weights on a scale you tip the balance and upturn my spirit. Like stray hands in crowds you scatter my senses Like wind in loose weave chaotic and free, You move me like a riotous people lobbying for change taking action against oppressors because things cannot always stay… Continue reading Throwback Thursday
Earlier today, I had a 20 minute conversation with a really lovely lady who I [sadly] only see and speak to sporadically, at any length.

And to top it all off, I feel super ill but I told Dana I'd post today so… Continue reading Smile

When I began introducing colour I started with white, then red, then navy and sort of… Continue reading Black and White

But my difficulty with the word “no” and desire to see friends I hadn’t spent time with in a while won over. Luckily for me, two of the events were only a few miles… Continue reading One Saturday, Three Parties
Just over a week ago (week ago…) my brother and his friends flew in to have a pool party at my parents’ house. And yes, it certainly was as indulgent as it sounds. Between himself and his friends, they flew in from 6 or 7 different countries if I’m not mistaken? Just for this party… Continue reading Pool Party Pandemonium
