Basic plot An art critic turned war correspondent for the London Courier, Kitson, witnessed unspeakable horrors in the Crimean war both on and off the battlefields.

Yes! We do live in Wangsa Walk. Hehe. Kidding. We had to make another trip to pick up a pair of sunglasses this time. This time we stopped off at an old favourite haunt that we haven't visited in a while. Secret Recipe.Shar had her usual Tom Yam but Zil and I decided to brave the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Why...
We went o pick up the specs that the girls had ordered the week before. Despite Shar's pleads to eat at A&W, we ended up at Popeye's Lousiana Fried Chicken. Although obviously it was a fast food franchise much like other fried chicken franchises, I wanted to try it since I saw an episode on the asian...
We arrived late for the department's Hari Raya Gathering and were 'banished' to the other side of the room. But Zil and I still managed to secure a table to put our food on. Yeay! Without the other UKM Wondergirls around, it was a bit quiet. (Standing)- Me, Zil, Shazlan, En. Imran, Safaa, Nizar ...

Questions about the lack of tables never stopped.Last Sunday, our masjid (mosque) held it's Hari Raya 'open house'. Since the kids and I haven't had the opportunity to go to many open houses this year it was a nice little outing for them.Unsure how to balance.The masjid is just across our main road, so my...
Waiting for chicken!It's true! I must be one of the very few people who still has not tasted Ayam Penyet (translated on the menu as smashed chicken..hmm). It's just that I had a bad experience with Indonesian food once so I was less than enthusiastic to try again. However, my curiosity got the better of me,...

Another book reader- yeay!Know how each place has it's own signature dish? Kenny Rogers is probably most famous for it's roasted chicken. As usual most of us decided to play it safe by ordering our normal quarter meal with side dishes. But Maz decided to be a little adventurous.We were't confident enough to...

It's 9.30am and I'm the only one at my desk.I left the house at 8.30am and managed to get to the office before 9.00am (Gombak-Chow Kit).The corridors are lined with small, flickering, colourful lights (and it's still daytime).The notice boards are full of Kad Selamat Hari Raya from drug companies, suppliers...
My family has always been a bit unconventional about certain aspects of Hari Raya. Mostly about the preparations. Although almost everyone I know is probably busy baking Raya cookies right now, the only time I remember helping my mother make Raya cookies was when we were in Scotland. Since we got back, I...

Actually all of my uncles and aunts (on my mother's side) are living in Kelantan, and all my relatives on my father's side are in...
Nicholas Sparks is one of my favourite authors. His book "The Notebook" is the only book that I have read 4 times (I rarely read the same book more than once) and is the only book that makes me cry each time. And I mean REALLY cry, I actually have to put the book aside and cry my eyes out and then only...
On such a colourful day (Merdeka!), I suddenly decided to join this Black and White Contest held by CreativeHeart.With my youngest son Hamzah during my brother's wedding ceremony. He had a fever that day, and I was exhausted from all the wedding preparations and looking after him too. So the otherwise...
