I’ve been taking some preventation measures since discovering the frequency in which mold grows on EVERYTHING in Hong Kong - (you can read my previous article on “How to remove mold or mildew from HONG KONG walls?”) especially where I live on the island. Just want to share with you so you can take them too and hopefully reduce the growth rate of mold. I recently opened a box of wallets I don’t often used, only to find that 4 out of 5 of our wallets were moldy. Needless to …

As a mommy and parent, you still need those little pieces of wonder to keep your sanity. Here’s where you’ll find it.
Now that I’m working again, my focus in clothes shopping is mainly work clothes and because of my repetitive nature, I tend to buy the basics (in different colours and shapes) - but there’s a general theme to my purchases. REPETITIVE USE. This means, I can re-wear probably the same clothing at least once a week with minimal notice that I’m wearing the same thing! LOL. This is usually achieveable with “black” items and because black is one of the brand colours of my organization, I can sure get away …
I found this incredible comparison of “inputs” of a 221 word passage from theIphoneBlog (another great regular feed of mine). I am an iPhone lover. Ever since giving up my Palm Treo to “try” the iPhone, I have never looked back. Sorry Palm, although I was a loyal and difficult-to-convert user, my husband managed to convince me and I am now a crazy Apple lover.
Back to my original point is how efficient the iPhone can be. It’s not meant to be experimental, merely observational. We all know that keyboard typing is …
Thought I’d share some FABULOUS photos of “Chinese” Santa with a zillion kids. I love doing home parties because I am an organized control freak and thus I am able to control when, where and how! 2009’s Children’s Christmas party turned out to be pretty fun. We had about 13 kids with their respective parents and 1 very jolly Santa Claus.
My dad used to dress up as Santa Claus every year when we were children and what better role to take than be Santa for his grand kids? When Santa …
I finally got an Amazon Kindle! It’s great, it’s amazing, it’s portable, it’s convenient, it’s cheaper than going paper and it’s environmentally friendly. Because I am so passionate about reading and literature, it’s the perfect solution to travel and lack of space in Hong Kong. To be truthful, it’s not very common in Hong Kong - I was riding the MTR today and everyone was staring at my darling kindle - probably wondering what on earth it was I was carrying.
Why should you consider getting one?
E-books are cheaper than print …
I finally decided to go “artjamming”. My sister is an avid and enthusiastic artjammer and has been trying to get me to go for some time.
Artjamming is a self organized event that allows “budding artists” to act on their talent. You pay a fee for a set period of time and get materials to follow through. Our Saturday night session cost $400 HKD (minimum) for 4 hours on a 65″x45″ canvas and boy, IT WAS FUN!
Here’s what I drew (Left) - the hair is colored in as well - I …
