Food Trail: Seaside Sojourn
The current global lockdown is going to force most of us to grow roots where we are right now. I for one am going to make the best of it by exploring my own backyard. Over the next few days I will be exploring the Kuala Langat district in Selangor – with some pointers from…
Cherai Beach: After the Rain
If I could bottle my favourite scent I’d call it ‘After Rain’. It will capture the fresh scent of wet grass, vegetation, palm frond, fresh earth and the subtle scent of tropical flowers. The scent of nature scrubbed clean, and the fresh cool air especially after a heavy downpour. The shots below were taken on…
My View of Supermoon
The view of a full moon usually goes unnoticed when you live in a busy city with bright lights, traffic noise and not so good air quality. It’s been three weeks since the Movement Control Order was enforced here in Malaysia and with fewer vehicles on the road we’ve had clearer skies, better air quality…
Blessed (live streamed) Holy Week
It’s Palm Sunday today and for the first time in our lives we began Holy Week with mass live streamed from the Church of the Divine Mercy in our diocese and later in the evening, straight from the Vatican. Thanks to the Kuala Lumpur Archdiocese and the Vatican media in addition to archdiocese in other…
Street of Lights
One of my favourite photos – oil lamps illuminating this unnamed lane in Cherlai Bazar in Fort Kochi, Kerala, India. The Hindu residents in homes along this lane had lit the lamps on the eve of the Festival of Lights last October to celebrate and signify the victory of light over darkness. #Daily Prompt #Day…
Songs of Silence
I’m no homebody, so when the Movement Control Order (MCO) was enforced mid-March and extend into mid-April. I assumed that I would go a little bonkers in no time. Oddly enough it’s been quite the opposite. Leaving the house to buy essentials has become quite a chore. First there is the battle kit – sanitizers,…

Park Güell: Art in Nature
The colours and architecture of Park Güell in Barcelona captures the style of its designer Antoni Gaudi whose designs mimic nature, and plays with light and reflection to infuse a little drama into the surroundings.
Stuff you take for granted …
Things you take for granted until it’s beyond your reach because of restricted movement. Our sweet treat just one month ago on a scorching hot afternoon along the streets of Georgetown – ‘Ais Bola’ drizzled with syrup, sarsaparilla and grape & Penang Heritage ais kacang. Ice bola is hard to come by nowadays, but it…
Throwback Thursday: Hotel de I’lsard Andorra
On a cold winter’s day there is noting more comforting than walking into a cosy comfortable corner for some warmth, and for us in Andorra this was Hotel de I’lsard where we spent three nights in Dec 2019. It’s location is great. Right in the middle of town between the old quarter, the shopping district…
Fine French Fusion Fare
A lazy Saturday at Cafe-Bistrot David with good friends is all we needed after such a drama fuelled week in the country. Calling in that morning to book a table, we were told that the restaurant was fully booked for lunch and the next available time was 2.30pm. A perfect excuse to sleep in! The…
