Going home...

i'm going home soon. terribly excited.
can't help it huh... she's just so beautiful...

memories of home, breakfast at my favourite coffee shop, the scent of my grandmother's embrace, conversations with my mother, next to her on her bed, my best friend, tea and scones at the verandah of the boh plantation in camerons, being mummy's girl, bangsar in the afternoon, swimming with turtles in sipadan, pasar malam, the serene beaches, the gentle sway of coconut palms, freshly baked egg tarts, my beloved uncle, seafood on the beach, the smell of earth and the sound of crickets in our lush wet forests...

what's your favourite memory of home? tell me ;)

There's something about Datuk Tony Fernandes that ispires past the usual malaysian mentality.

Great interview - strange interviewer!

Changing The World

Michelin stars for our Malaysian stars

source: www.kaimayfair.co.uk

my dream for Malaysia is for our local restaurants to one day earn the coveted Michelin Star.

i believe the cultural development of a local community is very much influenced by media and trends. i've recently become obsessed with cooking after becoming a fan of Masterchef in the UK. ever since then, it has been an exciting journey of practice practice practice and i have learnt plenty. i am likely to be one in thousands who have been inspired.

The UK has a total of 154 michelin stars, out of which one restaurant is owned by a Malaysian! Kai, Mayfair. This is believed to be the 1st ever for Malaysia :)

similarly, in Malaysia i think there is so much room for our communities to cultivate the same level of passion & excellence in everything we do. Let's encourage each other to dream good dreams and let our media & community plant these dreams of excellence in our young ones!

someone said recently - the way to save the world is to save the people. i cannot agree more. the way to save Malaysia, is to inspire the people.

if we all get excited to be the best in everything we do - i believe we will achieve alot more than the current focus on our differences, on politics and on everything else that hasn't worked in the country.

anyone here with similar dreams? afterall, good food is central to being Malaysian isn't it?

Why aren’t more people achieving their dreams everyday? Why are people not even dreaming?

Here In My Home...

Hello everyone...

It's been a while, but the heart for home never changes. I hope we will be updating this blog more frequently now.

Thank you to those who patiently followed despite the silence here.

Merdeka has just passed us by and Raya is approaching in a few weeks.

It is hard not to miss home and the roadside 'lemangs' and 'rendang' that i love so much!

Do you have any Merdeka dreams to share with us? How about Raya thoughts.

Please write to us. We love hearing from you.

I hope you enjoy the video. I love it, even for the 1000th time...
