Why Playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance Is a Video Game Trial By Fire

Video games are meant to be fun. They’re meant to be a place where you can escape from the real world; where you can be a cat-eyed mutant who kills monsters for a living (but dies when falling off an eight-foot-high wall), or an elf trying to stop spirits from crossing over into the physical realm and tearing the world apart.

Facebook Group “Masak Apa Tak Jadi Hari Ini” Entertains Malaysians With Cooking Fails During the MCO

Hey guys! It’s currently day 40 of the Movement Control Order here in Malaysia.

20 Questions

Hey, guys! I came across this series of questions on Mrs Suvi‘s blog, and had loads of fun reading her answers, so I thought I’d ‘borrow’ them for my own. Feel free to share and pass them on! 🙂 Your most memorable fancy dress costume? Costume parties aren’t a thing here; or at least not with the crowd I hang out with. I did have … Continue reading 20 Questions

DIY Batik For Just RM10! @ Batik Canting, Fahrenheit 88 Kuala Lumpur

Originally from Indonesia, batik is an ancient textile art that involves dyeing cloth with a wax-resist technique. It also refers to the textile itself, which often features beautiful patterns and motifs which differ from region to region. Malaysian batik is markedly different from its Indonesian counterpart; with larger, simpler patterns and a preference for floral motifs as opposed to the Javanese love for geometry. Malaysian … Continue reading DIY Batik For Just RM10! @ Batik Canting, Fahrenheit 88 Kuala Lumpur

Sunshine Blogger Award Nomination – 2019

Wow, has it been three years since my last blogger award nomination? Guess I haven’t been mingling in the community as much as I’d like to, lol. That aside, a big thank you to Mr.A for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Being a writer/journalist, I tend to do most of the questioning – so it’s nice to have someone ask me questions for a … Continue reading Sunshine Blogger Award Nomination – 2019
