COVID-19 Journal: A quiet reflection
Shelter-in-place has made me reflect on the many little things I take for granted, like green onions. Discover beauty in every day.

A Little San Francisco: Thinking Aloud
The uncut version of A Little San Francisco is probably three times longer and filled with many ludicrous ideas such as this one, about a gopher.

The (bittersweet) arhat of living
Jon and I tied the knot in 2016 after being in a long-distance relationship. Although we spent less than a month together in the entire year, it was not difficult to notice an Englishman’s idea of “sweet” – the kind of candied, honey, caramelised sweetness in many British confectionery and desserts (which they like to call puddings).

The Mount Mogan Green [II]
{ This post was originally posted on Someday, we will see the world } As we descended from the villa, we followed the true residents of Mount Mogan, who kindly led us to the waterfall. That was years before we knew about iNaturalist – a time where a beetle is a beetle (to us), with […]

The Mount Mogan Green [I]

Spread positivity in the neighbourhood? Been there, done that? How about, jumping into the past? Click onto a random folder of old travel images and […]

A humpback whale sighting of a different kind
“A 37-foot-long humpback whale washes up at San Francisco’s Baker Beach” – we first heard this a month ago. There was talk of a burial, but with the ongoing shelter-in-place order, the city has other pending problems to address. Before we know it, San Francisco has started to reopen and several sightings of the dead female […]

Experimenting with colours
As I started drawing again, I wondered if I should experiment with colours and wandered off getting a watercolour paint set. It has been twenty years since I last dabbled with watercolours. I had fun doing that bit of colouring for the day, but soon realised the constraints we would face with coloured illustrations. Nobody […]
