Sounds like a depressing topic for a Christmas Day post but I thought of sharing my husband’s experience when he got dengue fever recently while details are still fresh in my mind as this episode had worried both of us out because dengue fever isn’t a small problem as it can be life-threatening if it […]
Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]
Six months were gone in a flash since I moved from my old food blog to this new blog. Thank you all who have walked this journey with me, for giving me a listening ear and for giving me the much needed support and encouragement during the rocky moments and of course, thank you to […]
