The little things that make every day a pleasure:
Waking up to tropical birds tweeting outside the window
Feeling the warm breeze on my skin while walking to work
Sharing a real laugh with my witty colleagues

Although I am perfectly happy traveling the world as a technology teacher now, if I had to choose one time to go back to it would be my university years. Those four years of college felt so full of possibility and energy in such a care-free way. Having no real responsibilities, and no one to [...]

Once again, I am inspired to continue a story I started in a comment from earlier this week. I have mentioned in the past that Malaysia is an incredibly easy place to live, perhaps even too easy. However, this does not seem to stop me from my compulsive stockpiling of non-perishable food/toiletry items. I’m not [...]

Since we moved to Malaysia I have basically stopped cooking. It’s just too damn hot. I can’t bear to stand over the flaming gas stove with sweat pouring into my eyes as I try to navigate my slightly cramped kitchen. It doesn’t really put me in the mood for a tasty dinner. Plus, eating out [...]

Now, I haven’t seen Snakes on a Plane, but I do appreciate the clarity and imagery provided by its truly unique title. I was also quite fascinated to hear about all the media attention the movie was getting when I was home last summer. But that was back when we all thought it was [...]

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I know it can be a bit controversial, but in my opinion, nothing beats a celebration that requires a lot of sitting around with friends and family, eating all day, watching the Macy’s Day Parade and endless football games, and then eating some more.
In my family, this tradition requires [...]

Every time we go to the mall (which is a bit more often than I would have expected before we moved here, given my deep seated hatred of malls) we are always confronted by a new and unique way to provide entertainment for the masses. First I should mention that most malls in KL are [...]

And so goes the cycle of life for just about every establishment in KL:
One day you have Haagen Dazs, the next day nothing, and the day after that Lecka Lecka. Or, for another example, one day you see workmen installing the biggest lava lamps you have ever seen in your life on the corner of [...]
