Three Years Later
The year is now 2019 and my last post was in 2016, three years ago, almost to the day. This blog has been neglected over the years, sorry about that. I’d like to blame work and say it caught up with me but its not just that. Another main reason is I accidentally let my hosting lapse a few years ago. With that, my entire blog was wiped out and what I had was a backup from which I managed to retrieve the 1,125 posts I have written since 2013. The downside? I have no more images on this blog. Rebuilding it was going to be a nightmare and a…

The Osaka Travelogue – Part 1 : Accommodation in Osaka
Osaka has always been close to my heart as it’s the first city I did my first ever solo trip. Yes, first solo trip in a country I’ve never been where I dont speak a word of the language?

Have you heard of Miyazaki and/or Studio Ghibli (株式会社スタジオジブリ Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi)?

Review: Mission Attaché bag by Greenroom136
I’ve always had a thing for rugged looking messenger bags that can fit laptops and cameras from my days in college, lugging a laptop here and here. The only brand I was familiar with then was Crumpler but that of course was way above my meager means. As I grew older, while I liked how branded handbags looked (Anya Hindmarch is a favourite), I could never justify to myself paying a lot of money (above Rm500) for a bag that I will end up putting on the floor and would stand up to the daily elements. So I stuck with plain black handbags with no brand, at least I tak…
